Contemporary Celebrations: A Guide to Crafting a Stylish and Modern Wedding!

If you are tired of the all the classic weddings that you have attended in the past and are looking for something a bit different for your own special day, you may want to consider throwing a modern wedding instead.

A modern wedding is a popular trend at the moment and it will be a great way to celebrate the time that you are currently living in. Getting rid of tradition can be something that can make the day a bit less stressful as well and you may be more comfortable throughout the wedding process. Below are some tips to get you started in the right direction.

Simplify the Wardrobe

No one said that you have to dress in a formal wedding gown with bridesmaids wearing matching dresses beside you. This is one of the easiest ways to create a modern look.

Start with the wedding gown and choose something that defies all traditions. Choose a piece that shows off your personality and unique style instead of the tradition you want to uphold. You may even want to dare to choose a dress that is not a traditional wedding color to really stand out.

When it comes to the bridesmaids, one fun trend that is currently sweeping the wedding industry is dressing each bridesmaid in a different dress but that stick with the color scheme of the wedding. This is a great option because no two women are created the same. While one dress style may work well with one woman, it will look horrible on another. By having separate dresses, you will know that all of your girls will feel beautiful.

Throw out Traditions

If you are looking to completely go against the norm, you should get rid of some of the traditions that are usually present at weddings. For example, if you do not feel that being married in a church is important, choose a different venue instead. If the weather will be nice, you can always choose to have a wedding that is outdoors.

Another tradition that may be a fun one to break is waiting until you walk down the aisle for the groom to see you. This makes for a fantastic photo opportunity and you can plan a ‘first look’ before the ceremony to make it even more special. Having this moment in a private setting will allow you to enjoy it even more.

Conclusion

You can do many things to have a modern wedding that defies tradition. These weddings are created with the bride and groom’s interests in mind and bring out a lot of the couple’s personality.

Keep in mind that you do not need to throw out all traditions in order to have a modern wedding. There are many that you can keep, but the point is to create a wedding that you love rather than one that is based upon tradition.

Wedding Registry Tips

As the newlyweds removed the bow and unwrapped their 7th large, crystal deli tray, they realized they should have created a bridal registry. In my small town, it was not common for a couple to register. I have never been to a wedding where the couple has registered. However, this is becoming more common in communities where it was not always popular. Couples who are not familiar with the practices and etiquette of bridal registry may find these wedding registry tips helpful.

How do you tell people where you are registered? This is where many couples break wedding registry etiquette. The temptation is to put the registry location on the wedding invitations since everyone receives one. However, including the registry information on any written cards such as the invitations or Save the Date cards is considered tacky. Instead, include the wedding information on your wedding website or Facebook page and include the link on the invitation. Also, it’s perfectly fine to mention where you are registered if someone asks about gifts.

Register at both an online retailer and brick and mortar store. You may choose to register at three stores. One of the stores that you register at should be a local store for the convenience of the guests who may not shop online. Some guests may need the ease of an online store due to transportation issues or busy schedules that would make it difficult for them to shop at the store you chose. If you register at three stores, the third can be either a brick and mortar store or online retailer.

Make decisions about the items on the online wedding registry list together. One spouse should not have the responsibility of choosing all the items. Both partners need to be happy with the items on the list. After all, these are the items that you will be living with for years to come. Select items that you will both enjoy.

When you register, select items of varied price ranges at each location. Guests should feel comfortable selecting a wedding gift that is within their budgets. Instead of selecting all high ticket items, consider splitting the registry into thirds. Choose about a third of lower cost items, a third that are middle range, and a third that are higher. How expensive should the items on the registry be? This depends greatly on location and the financial means of the guests. If I quoted a price of $100 as a high range item, this would be beyond the reach of most guests at some weddings and considered too low at other weddings. The couple needs to consider the financial standing of their friends and family and choose registry items accordingly.

Setting up the registry should not be put off until the last moment. Allow your guests to have plenty of time to shop. Some couples set up the registry when they start making their engagement announcements in case anyone would ask for the registry location.

Wedding Dress Shopping: Key Preparation Tips for a Seamless Experience!

Wedding dress shopping is fun and exciting, but it can also be overwhelming if you don’t know what you want. To find the right wedding dress, you may first have to look at hundreds of options. So, don’t hit the stores until you have narrowed your preferences to a select few. Plan in advance and your wedding shopping will be productive and enjoyable.

This article will help you understand how to prepare for your bridal boutique appointment, so you can make the most of your experience.

Begin early

There are three main processes, when it comes wedding shopping –determining the type of dress you want, finding the right bridal boutique and finding the dress. The entire process may take anywhere between 6 and 12 months. A little research before shopping will make it easier and much more effective.

How to start?

While some brides know exactly how they want to look on their wedding day, others may not have a clue on where to begin. Don’t worry, we’ll help you get there.

First, find a silent spot and sit down with a pen and paper. Close your eyes and imagine your wedding day. Do you envision yourself as a traditional bride in a classic white wedding gown? Or do you picture yourself as a fashionable, stylish bride in a modern wedding dress?

Depending on your preferences, write down a few describing words for the gown you have in mind.

Now, look for dresses that match your idea. Browse through online wedding gown collections and photos in bridal magazines to find inspiration. Save these for reference, and make notes on what you like and what you don’t in a particular dress.

Ask your friends for suggestions on what would look good on you. Once you begin doing this, you will slowly zero-in on the features you want, and eliminate those you don’t. You should soon be able to shortlist suitable silhouettes, type of sleeves, neckline and length. It’s now time to move on to the next step.

Fix a budget, find a boutique

The worst thing that can happen when you go shopping, is to fall in love with a dress you cannot afford. So, fix the maximum amount you can spend on your wedding dress and make sure you stick to it. Budget for accessories like veils and shoes too.

Now, find a boutique that carries the dress collections you like. You can check online or call them to confirm availability of these collections. Although you can buy a dress online, remember that you may not be able to judge how the dress would look on you till you actually try it on.

Book your appointment and go shopping!

Once you finalize the boutique, fix an appointment with them on a day when you have plenty of time to shop. If there are any particular dresses that you liked, inform them so they will have it ready when you arrive.

Take a friend or two with you, when you go shopping. Limit the number of people who accompany you, as too many opinions will only make the decision difficult. Choose someone who is fair in judgement and will give you an honest opinion.

Now, all you have to do is attend your appointment and find your dream dress!
