If you plan your wedding during one of the other nine months of the year you are sure to save money and also reap the rewards of bonuses that companies throw in as incentives for you to choose their services at this time.

An “off season” wedding saves you some dollars that you can contribute to making your day a little more celebrity like. Some other suggestions: Outside of the reception hall offer valet service for all of your guests. Offering valet service at your reception is one way to sure add a little celebrity status to your event. You can find valet service through a search engine.

Negotiate a price for your event just like American royalty. Having an open bar, even if it is just a cocktail hour in between the wedding and the reception, is also a way to make your guests feel like they are getting the royal treatment. Make your caterer aware of how you wish the food to be presented the day of the event. Service staff performance is indeed a sure way to make your reception feel a little more exquisite.

The day of your life is coming and you don’t know what to wear? Want to be fashionable as you are in your daily life? Wedding dresses, just like all the other clothing, have their own fashion line. Make the most of your wedding and purchase the trendiest dress.

It’s rather difficult to describe the wedding dress fashion, as every single bride has her own needs and tastes. Yet, there is one thing common to all – they want to be fashionable, therefore they choose dresses that designers offer.

A few years ago, dresses that there simple, straight and would expose brides’ body, were very fashionable. No patchworks, no huge accessories. Simple and elegant dresses were in control of the industry. Today it’s rather different. Brides are looking as princesses and queens.

The so called “cake” dress is extremely fashionable. The top of it sticks to the body, exposing brides’ breasts and trunk, while the lover part is very wide. Even special rims are used in order to make it as wide as possible. Materials used for this lover part are usually soft and thick, so that many coats of it would create a very light effect. It looks perfect on any type of body.

Another type is similar to the one that was fashionable a few years ago. Dresses are straight and made of silk. The bride who is wearing it looks elegant and very feminine. Yet such dresses do not look very good on short brides and those who have some extra weight. You must be very careful while choosing this type.

The main difference in recent and today’s fashion is patchworks. Every single dress must have at least some of those. If it’s a “cake” type dress, you should choose the one that has simple lover part and patch worked upper part. The same while talking about straight wedding dresses, yet you may choose the one has both parts patch worked.

The most popular and trendy material is surely silk. It makes any bride look luxurious. Silk is so popular because the fall of it is very special and it is easy to achieve various effects with it. However, you should remember that this material is very sensitive. For example if you are planning to sit a lot, have in mind that it’ll crumple.

As far as dresses are very luxurious, you should choose appropriate shoes. Don’t pick the simplest ones they’re totally out of fashion. Something with patchwork or ribbon would be perfect.

There can be no discussion about colors. White and that’s it. Yet if you want something original, choose a dress (and shoes) with, for example golden patchworks. It’ll make you shine and you’ll surely look original.

Yet, the most important thing in choosing dress is that you have to like it. If they offer you a very fashionable dress and it looks perfect on you, but you don’t like it – just forget about it. It is your day and no mater whether your dress is trendy or not, you must feel beautiful for yourself.
