September 2011 What should I bring with me when I come to try on dresses? You will be my first stop. Thank You, Meghan Hi Meghan For trying on dresses, you should bring a pair of heels similar to the height you will be wearing for your big day… as well as a strapless bra (a long-line if you are a C cup or higher). You should also bring anything else that you would like added to your wedding day ensemble i.e. Grandma’s pearls, your mother’s veil or your diamond tennis bracelet. June 2011
Hi Ladies,
Dear Ladies,
I am wearing a spun gold wedding gown for my December wedding. The ivory veils I have been trying look weird against my dress but the gold ones make me look too lost in the 80’s do you have any suggestions?
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
Question for you, were you trying on single layer or double layer veils? If you were trying on a double layer veil you may want to try single layer veils in ivory (the single layer makes the veil more transparent, so it will blend a little better). It will not be as heavy as gold or as off as two layers of ivory. In addition we also have a veil designer who will add color trim to the veil. If you have enough material…that might be an option.

I am planning a winter 2012 wedding. I was thinking of an ice blue as the main part of my color scheme. Is that too light of a color for a winter wedding?
Amyre
Hi Amyre,
Ice blue is fine for a winter wedding, as long as it is not a sky blue. Just be sure to make sure the gowns are satin or another heavier material. If you are still concerned you can always add a darker blue or a brown to the color scheme to darken the palette.
Hi Sam,
At the end of the day you and your daughter (and MIL for that matter) will be family. So we want to try and avoid any hurt feelings. Since it sounds like MIL is spearheading this you might want to talk to your step daughter and see what she thinks. If she is gunning for the role of mini-bride...in a gentle way you should tell her that age wise you think she would be better suited to be a jr. bridesmaid as junior brides and flower girls are normally small children. Tell her some of the perks of being a bm i.e. you're in tons more pictures, you get a cute dress that can be cut short and worn next year for homecoming and a trip to the nail salon (with the bridal party) for manis and pedis. In regards to your fiancé, try suggesting a sand ceremony. It replaces the lighting of the unity candle. It is the perfect way to include all children involved and the jar that the sand is poured into becomes a keepsake. Here is an example—
Officiant:
"_________ and _________, today you are making a life-long commitment to share the rest of your lives with each other and honor your children as well. Your family relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these individual containers of sand; one, representing you, _________ and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, one representing you, _________, and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be and another container for each child.
There are children who will share in this marriage. _________ will now come forward to help us with the Blending of the Sands. The gathering of this new family will have a deep influence upon them. We realize that in order for the home to be a happy one, it is essential that there be love and understanding between the children and the adults being married."
"You may now blend the sand together symbolizing the uniting of the children and bride and groom into one."
"Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage and your family be. "
