Tips For Selecting Wedding Pearls

By blogger on

How should a bride-to-be decide which type of pearls to wear on her wedding day and how to effectively accessorize her bridesmaids? The aim of this guide is to give straightforward and easy-to-follow advice. When choosing bridal pearls, your main consideration should be your overall theme. Your jewelry should fit the tone of your day and enhance your look. It should also reflect your personality.

For a traditional theme, a white or ivory Akoya or Freshwater pearl set would be perfect. A more modern bride choosing a contemporary theme would find white South Sea pearls most fitting and black Tahitian or golden South Sea pearls would work best with a tropical theme.

Pearl necklace lengths are determined by the neckline of your wedding gown. A 16″choker is the only appropriate length to wear with a neckline that sits above the collarbone. A slightly lower neckline works well with 17-18″ strings. A plunging neckline can accommodate up to 22″ and makes a dramatic statement. A 32″ necklace can be very versatile and worn with any neckline, being best worn doubled over during the ceremony and full length after the wedding for a fashion-forward look.

The size of the pearl is also an important consideration when choosing your jewelry. To avoid looking unbalanced or disproportionate there are simple rules that you can follow. If you are petite it is best advised to wear pearls that are between 5-7.5mm each. A bride of average build could comfortably wear 7.5-8.5mm pearls. The most popular size and one that works well with most builds are in the range of 7-7.5mm. By bearing these tips in mind, we hope you will find buying your wedding jewelry an enjoyable and altogether less daunting experience.

Deciding on your wedding jewelry before you choose your dress. Unless you have your heart set on wearing a particular family heirloom, it is wise to wait until after you have selected your dress before choosing your jewelry. Many factors need to be considered. Know your dress first and then choose the wedding jewelry that best blends with the look. What colors and fabric are used for your dress? Is the dress style clean, modern, exotic, vintage, or ethnic? Keep these distinctive elements in mind when choosing your jewelry.

Pay attention to the neckline. Be aware of your neckline. As with any attire, when wearing a necklace, the line it creates must work in harmony with the neckline of the dress, for the most complimentary visual effect.

Halterneck dresses are perhaps the most restrictive in terms of selecting a style of necklace. Let earrings take center stage instead and perhaps wear an eye-catching bracelet.

A square neckline or a strapless dress leaves many options open for selecting a style of necklace. A double or even triple strand necklace would fit well and leave the chest less exposed.

A plunging neckline is perfect for a y-drop pendant. Alternatively, chandelier earrings will draw more attention to your face.

Style Your Hair to Compliment Your Bridal Jewelry. This is actually very important to consider. Before you go to the salon check out some bridal magazines and try on your Bridal Jewelry while standing in front of a full length mirror to get the feel of how you want to look on your wedding day. Then meet with your beautician and work together for the most complimentary look. Bring along your close girlfriend for another opinion as this might help in the decision. If you’re unable to decide on your own, much like consulting with your jeweler to pick out the perfect bridal jewelry, you can consult with your hair stylist to pick the perfect up-do meant just for you!

Matching Your Bridesmaids Wedding Jewelry. Make sure the bridesmaids Jewelry match and emphasizes you and don’t upstage the bride on your perfect wedding day! For example, if pearl and diamond drop earrings are your choice, then your bridesmaids might wear simple pearl studs.
Choose where to buy your bridal jewelry. Bear in mind that you will be the center of attention on your wedding day. Bridal jewelry sets can be costly and after purchasing the wedding gown, wedding ring set, bridesmaid dresses, facility rental, DJ, you’ll be feigning to save money when you can. However tempted you may be, wedding jewelry is one area you should NEVER forego quality on. You’ll want every little detail to be perfect.

A final word. If in doubt, keep it simple. I hope these tips will be helpful in celebrating one of the most important days in a woman’s life.

Cheap Wedding Ideas To Make Your Wedding Day More Romantic

By blogger on

The brides wedding day is the most romantic day in her life. You will probably never feel more beautiful than you do at that moment when your groom spots you walking down the aisle. Who can resist a happy sigh when witnessing that moment?

When romance authors talk to the media, were often asked how to be more romantic. The truth is, romance always always springs from the couple in question. A friends husband gave her a fancy cheese grater for her birthday, and she loved it. A cheese grater? Loved? But for her, it was special because she had lusted after it in a store several months earlier, and he remembered. In my house, a cheese grater would not be a hit. On the other hand, my husband would be well rewarded if he gave me a high-end wine bottle opener.

So the trick to making your wedding day more romantic is to plan for moments that are very personal to you two as a couple. This is why so many women go all squishy inside at the thought of a couple writing their own vows. It doesnt get more personal than that.

Here are some ideas to get you thinking. And the best part? They dont cost a lot!

Before the Wedding

1.Write a letter to your fianc to be read the morning of the wedding, and ask him to do the same for you. The closer the wedding gets, the crazier life seems to be. Slow down for a second and remember hes the reason youre getting married. The letter doesnt have to be longjust a few lines reminding him why you love him and why hes the one.

2.In the rush to get ready for the walk down the aisle, set aside a few minutes to talk to your beloved on the phone. Plan this time in advance and guard it so you can both be alone in a quiet place during the call.

The Wedding Ceremony

3.Traditionally, the bride and groom ask close friends or family members to serenade them with a favorite song or to do a reading. This is a lovely tradition, but you can make it even more personal by putting a little spin on it. Ask one male friend and one female friend to take turns reading excerpts of your love letters to each other, with music playing softly in the background.

4.Another alternative to the traditional reading during the wedding ceremony is to ask your married guests to stand up and share one piece of advice for a happy marriage. This has the potential to get out of control, so it would be best to hand-pick a few guests in advance and let them know theyll be invited up to the microphone.

5.Instead of rice, ask friends and family to blow bubbles along your route to the limo, and make sure the photographer knows in advance. Youll get some incredible pictures, guaranteed! (A Facebook fan suggested having guests blow bubbles during the bride & grooms first dance, but Id be worried about a slippery dance floor.)

The Wedding Reception

6.Instead of putting out a guest register, put out a stack of attractive note cards and invite guests to sign their name and write down one thing they love about the bride and groom. Then designate an emcee for the evening (the DJ, if you have one), and ask that person to read a few of these cards at random. After the wedding, the note cards can be put into an album and will be even more special to you than your guests signatures in a book.

7.Have a computer savvy friend with wireless internet tweet about the wedding and reception as they occur, so those who cant attend still feel like theyre a part of things.

8.Rather than sitting at a raucous head table with your attendants and family, set up a private table just for you and your groom. This may be the first private time you will have had together all day. Before the wedding, if you honor tradition, you wont see each other. Immediately after the wedding, youll be surrounded by well-wishers and then hustled off for photos. With a private table at dinner, you and your husband will have a moment where youre in your own protective bubble, and a chance to reflect on the day together. (Admit it. It gave you a little thrill when I called him your husband, didnt it?)

9.Flower centerpieces are expensive. With some planning, you can create inexpensive centerpieces that will have your guests talking and that will serve as treasured wedding favors. Go to garage sales, estate sales, and thrift stores and buy as many unique picture frames as you can find, in a variety of sizes. Then put a picture of you and your fianc in each frame. If you have kids, be sure theyre in some of the pictures, too. If you find lots of frames, it would also be nice to include wedding pictures of other couples in your family, from multiple generations. Put at least five frames on each table, facing every direction. I guarantee you that during the evening, youll see people walking slowly from table to table to look at all the pictures. At the end of the evening, invite your guests to take a framed picture or two home with them.

10.Put a few stamped, self-addressed postcards and pens on each table (52 postcards in total) and invite guests to write down their best piece of marriage advice. Ask someone to gather those cards and mail one to you every week for the first year of your marriage. This is a great way to get your mother involved. She can even write her reaction to the advice on each card! Imagine how you and your husband will look forward to reading your card each week. (Theres that happy word again: husband!)

11.As a couple, take the microphone and tell the story of how you met, when you realized that you loved each other, and the proposal. On your wedding day, youre surrounded by the people who love you most, your friends and family. But a lot of these people have probably not heard your story and, even if they have, hearing you tell it on this special day will make the romance quotient in the room skyrocket. Be sure to have some tissues handy for the weepers this will be one of those moments.

May your wedding day be the start of a long and happy life together! Love exists, and it can last forever. Let that be a central truth of your life.
