Pretty in Pink: Beautiful Pink Wedding Dresses

The white wedding dress is not the only option for today’s brides. While some brides prefer to select a colored gown for a second wedding, even first-time brides are choosing colored wedding dresses. Pink wedding dresses can be entirely pink or have pink accents on a white or silvery gray dress. They can be stunning and romantic. Before selecting the white wedding dress, consider a beautiful pink wedding dress.

Not all pink wedding gowns are examples in elegance. Sadly, some look like the bride rolled in Pepto-Bismal or is covered in bright pink and fuchsia streamers and gaudy satin flowers. There are some gorgeous bold pink wedding dresses. Some designers have made some gorgeous bold pink dresses that look celebratory.

Prepare for your wedding dress appointment: 5 Things to take along

Wedding dress shopping is exciting and finding the right wedding dress is something every bride eagerly looks forward to. However, before you begin wedding shopping, you need to do some research.

This will help you shortlist the desired silhouettes, dress patterns, fabric choices and most importantly, allow you to fix your budget. Once you have a good picture of what you want and what you don’t, you are set to go shopping. Call up the bridal boutique and fix your appointment, rope in your best friends to accompany you, and get set to attend your appointment.

Now, do you just walk in on the day of your appointment? Not quite. It isn’t a good idea to simply go for your appointment without a few essential items. Let us look at what these are.

Photos for inspiration

You may have seen a fabulous gown in a magazine or on the internet, that you are dying to try. Print out a picture, and better still take down the dress number and other information pertaining to the gown. This will allow your bridal consultant to locate that dress for you. When possible, inform the boutique of the dresses that you would like to check out, when you fix your appointment. This way, it is likely they will have it in their inventory in time for your appointment.

If your vision of “the dress” includes bits and pieces from various other gowns, take prints of all these gowns along, and share your ideas with your consultant. She will be able to help you find one that matches your expectations.

Suitable inner wear

A strapless bra is absolutely necessary for your bridal appointment, since it is the only one that works with strapless gowns, spaghetti straps, deep cut necklines or halter style dresses. Without this, you may not be able to visualize the actual look of the gown. If you will be wearing inner shape-wear on your big day, make sure you take this along as well.

A camera

Looking at yourself in the mirror is not good enough. Snap a few pictures on a camera or your phone and look at it to understand how you actually look from different angles, before you finalize your dress.

Shoes

Although you may not have your wedding shoes yet, it is a good idea to wear shoes with the same heel height that you will be wearing to your wedding. This will allow you to see how the dress falls, and determine the length to which the hemline should be altered.

Heirlooms, accessories and hairstyle

Will you be wearing a family heirloom such as a veil or a headpiece? Or perhaps, you have already decided on the jewelry that you will be wearing on your wedding day. If so, bring these along, so you can decide whether it goes well with the dress you chose, or you have to continue looking. Also wear a hairstyle similar to what you will don on your wedding day, so you can see if a dress matches your look.

With these essential things in hand, you are all set for your wedding dress shopping. So, get ready to have the best time shopping. Check out our wedding dress collection for inspiration, and fix your appointment with Best for Bride to have the best wedding shopping experience ever.

Bridal Shower Games

Having a bridal shower is one of the most traditional pieces of getting married. However, they can also be somewhat boring as well. For this reason, those who are organizing the bridal shower should work to make sure that there are some fantastic games that the guests can enjoy. Below are some of the best options for your bridal shower.

Toilet Paper Wedding Gown

This game is fun and hands-on, plus you will not need to spend a lot of money on supplies. With it, you will divide the guests into teams who will then use this common item to create a hilarious version of the wedding gown. The bride will then select the winning group. Be sure to take pictures of this funny game and be prepared to use the left over toilet tissue to drive up the tears of laughter that are sure to flow.

Clothespin Game

This is a fairly common game to play at both baby showers and bridal showers. With this game, each of the guests will be provided a certain number of clothespins and instructed to avoid saying the word wedding or bride throughout the bridal shower. It is the goal of the other guests to catch them saying these words so that they can steal a clothespin from them. The winner is the person with the most clothespins at the end of the game.

Celebrity Husband

This is another fun game that can be played at a bridal shower. With this game, each guest will put the name of their ultimate celebrity dream husband in a bowl. The bride will then draw slips of paper from the bowl and will try to guess which guest chose which celebrity husband. While there isn’t really a winner to this type of game, it is a great way to connect with one another and share some laughs throughout the bridal shower.

Conclusion

The bridal shower should be a fun event that you can share with some of your closest friends and family members. In order to make sure that this is a reality, you should make sure that you have games available that will help your guests to stay involved and engaged with the party.

If you are looking for a way to have more of an exciting bridal shower, these games are a perfect way to add some of this excitement to the festivities. They will help you to make sure that everyone has a fantastic time and are able to share the excitement that the bride has for her big day.
