Make your Idaho Wedding Day Everything You Dream Of

12 Feb

Your Idaho wedding day should be everything you have ever dreamed of. An event that you and your loved ones will cherish for years to come, so every last detail counts. Planning ahead and having some goals in mind at the start, can help this experience be an enjoyable , exciting and memorable. Most of all HAVE FUN! In the next couple of paragraphs is an outline of suggestions, tip and ideas that will assist you in your search in finding that perfect dress for your Idaho wedding.

Shop early, ideally 8 -12 months before the wedding. If you have less time than this, that’s fine too, but starting as early as possible will make the whole experience less stressful. Once you have an appointment with a bridal boutique, be open-minded, 40% of brides end up purchasing a dress style that is completely different than what they had planned on. It is important to try on a variety dress styles, to see how they look on your body type and see how you feel in each of them. Some of the different styles are A-line (good for almost any figure), ball gown (drawing attention to a small waist and hiding full hips), empire (good for hiding a thick waist an adding length), mermaid (good for tall & slender frames and adding length to a petite figure), princess (good for elongating a short waist and petite figure) or sheath (good for slimmer figures, both tall and petite). Don’t judge a dress by how it might look on the hanger. It might just be the dress that is perfect for you. Don’t feel that you have to go with the latest trends and styles. What’s important, does the dress reflect you personal taste and personality. Does it accentuate your best assets and minimize the less perfect ones. Does it reflect the setting your wedding, garden, chapel, beach, and so on. Finally, be sure that you have a budget mind. This will help the consultant guide you to the dresses within your price range.

Remember this is your day!!! It is good to bring one or two supportive people with you. A large group of differing opinions can be overwhelming. Having a couple of supportive helpful people with you can provide valuable feedback and suggestions. Those who really know you and your personality will be interested in what works for you and understand that how you feel is what matters. Look for that sparkle!! Don’t let anyone talk to you into a dress that you have doubts about. Pay attention to the moment that you felt a tingle, a sparkle….the instant you saw the dress in mirror. Listen to yourself as well, are you using the words, “I like this one” or “I love this one” that should be telling you something. Consultants look for the expression in the face and that twinkle in the eyes. Remember it just isn’t about how it looks, it is about how it makes you feel, is it comfortable, is it a dress that you could wear all day for your Idaho wedding and still feel absolutely amazing!!!!

Engaged to be Married?

03 Feb

So, you are engaged to be married? A wedding can be either inexpensive or over the top unreasonable. Keeping a few things in mind may make it easier. Make a plan. Don’t impluse buy just because it is a bargain.

Keep things simple. Sometimes a grouping of small vases with flowers has as much impactas a huge ararangement. Ask friends and family who they used for vendors such as caterers, music, rentals, florist or other details. Think ahead and do not procrastinate. Consider professionals to do details that you perhaps could do, but time restraints on your wedding day may make it a problem for you or your family to accomplish.

An example: You have a perfect location, but you have only two hours before the wedding to decorate. You should be having your hair and nails done and getting gorgeous.
