Wedding Etiquettes

I want to share this important paragraph that I found recently in an article about etiquette:

Etiquette are social rules that each culture or society adopts over time. Some are written and some are unwritten. Etiquette is meant to help us interact with one another as we hold to common moral, social and community values in an atmosphere of mutual respect. As the world becomes more connected and we interact increasingly with people of other countries, languages and cultures, knowing learning and observing etiquette is increasingly important. (Bridal Book)

The bottom line is that on your wedding day, you should be happy and have things go the way you like....However, at the same time you must be gracious, courteous and fallow rules about etiquette.

Here are some few tips to keep in mind:

Your invitations:
You should send those at least 6 to 8 weeks before the wedding date. This will give your guests plenty time of notice. If you send your invitation late, will result in guests not be able to make it do to the other commitments...

Thank you cards:
you must send and try to personalize by handwriting them...You should respond with a thank you cared within 4-6 weeks of receiving the gift.

Budget:
Your budget should be realistic...This is a once in a lifetime event so remember to keep in mind. Your timeline should also be realistic. Don't try to do too much in too short a space of time.

Remember, it's your wedding, the most romantic and important day of your life...so relax and enjoy it!

The Wedding Dress


Congratulations!
You're getting married!

Now is the time to make the appropriate arrangements for the special day by hiring a wedding planner, booked the venue, the flowers, the jewelry, the cake, but most important look for your wedding gown. After all, the wedding dress is the centerpiece of any wedding celebration, and finding the perfect gown is perhaps the most important thing any bride to be must do.

There are so many styles and designers to choose from to help make the dream a reality. It is true! there are many designers and great selection of bridal gowns everywhere; and this makes it easier to find the absolute perfect wedding dress for that special day.

When beginning to search for a wedding gown, it's a good idea to consider resources that are available through the internet, books and bridal magazines. It's easy to find stunning pictures of designer wedding dresses that will very quickly give you an idea of what you will find when you set foot inside a wedding dress shop.

I always recommend allowing yourself enough time to search for the perfect dress because trying to find a dress in a rush can become a nightmare and cause anxiety... You should start by looking in magazines or bridal stores too and try to get a good idea of what you like and feel what would look good on you.

One of the biggest problems that brides encounter when they are shopping for their dress is choosing the right style that best flatters them. While it's easy to fall in love with a designer wedding gown in a magazine that is draped over the frame of a model, it is often disappointment when the same dress, even in the correct size does not look or feel the same as you saw it in the magazine. Give yourself enough time to look and shop around for the best gown.

Try to take pictures of yourself when you try a wedding dress so you can see all those different pictures and see which dress will work on you. Also be open to styles that you thought would not look good on you because sometimes that dress turns out to be the perfect one.

Finally shopping for the dress should be fun and limit the amount of stores on your first trip so it does not become an overwhelming experience.

Flowers


Flowers are the most important element for every event...
They're gorgeous, fresh, unique and simplistic elegance...
if there was a rule on how to decorate tables, fresh flowers will be a must!

My Introduction

Let me tell you a little bit about myself, I born in Lima-Peru, raised in New Britain Connecticut, graduated from Tunxis Community College with my MBA in Finance, and now living in Orlando FL.

Currently I'm taking classes to become a Bridal Consultant and Even Planner with the Bridal Institute, and I love it!

When it comes to planning an event, I love to get involved as much as I can...
From the color theme, the flowers, the linens, and the food, putting all my ideas together make me so happy to see the final result of my vision...

Even though I'm still taking classes, I have done a few weddings and parties for my family and close friends. Hopefully after I done with school I be able to start my own business and bring all my fresh and unique ideas to life...My job will be to help all those future brides & grooms out there to plan their perfect day!
