Don't Drink More than a Glass of Wine at your Rehearsal Dinner. If you do...

It is best that you don't drink more than one glass of wine at your Rehearsal Dinner so your skin will glow on your wedding day.  It can cancel out some of the effects of drinking all that water for weeks before.  If you do, apply a cold washcloth on your eyes to reduce puffiness before bedtime and again in the morning.  A luminizing face primer will help restore some of your radiance.

Replicate your Wedding Gown Lace with Royal Icing on your Cake

The inspiration for your wedding cake can come from the design of your wedding gown.  A gifted cake designer can match the lace on your gown with Royal Icing, and your dress sash can be made out of rolled fondant.

Switch up Your Accessories Instead of a Second Dress

 

If you don't want to change into a second dress but want to do something different for your Reception, switch up your accessories with a colored sash for your gown, replace your veil with a flower or feathered headpiece, and change into some colorful, sexy shoes for dancing.

 

 

 

Your Wedding Website Etiquette

On your Wedding Website, it is appropriate to include your Registry information.  However, it should not be the very first thing your guests see.  A page titled "Helpful Guest Information" with information on directions, area attractions, registry, etc. blends it with other important facts.

The First Step in Planning Your Wedding: Choose a "Mood"

Choosing your colors or your dress is not the first step in planning your wedding.  Decide what "mood" you want to set.  Think about how you imagine your wedding to feel like to you and your guests.  Your answer can then lead you to deciding your guest list size, location of your ceremony and reception, and every decision thereafter.  Choosing a mood will help you as you make each and every decision during the planning process.

Choose Your Ceremony and Reception Venue Before Selecting your Wedding Gown

When you are shopping for your gown, have your venue either selected or the type of ceremony and reception envisioned.  A light, flowing fabric would be more appropriate for a beach or outdoor wedding than a beaded gown with heavy fabric.
