Caging Wedding Beauty
I have to admit that I was not sure if I liked bride cage veils at first, but I have seemed to fallen in love with them lately. I think that they make a beautiful and powerful statement. They look amazing with vintage inspired gowns, however I think it is the bride that really makes them shine. If it is the bride’s style and she wears it with confidence, there is nothing more beautiful. If you love the bird cage veils as well, Powder Blue Bijoux on Etsy has some amazing styles. They are all hand made and detail in the veils are exquisite! Check them out!
Ten Tips to Calm a Stressed Out Bride
Planning a wedding is a big task and can leave a bride feeling frazzled. So, before your best gal turns into bridezilla help here calm down with these ten tips.
1. Spa Day: Take your stressed out gal to the spa! Nothing calms a person down more than a nice day of pampering. Pedicures and facials are sure to sooth her back to her happy go lucky self.
2. Join a Yoga Class: Exercise has been proven to calm the nerves. Yoga is particularly good for stress relief because the ultimate goal of yoga is to reach complete peacefulness of body and mind. This helps you relax and manage stress and anxiety.
3. Buy Her a Book: If your gal pal is an avid reader, nothing calms the nerves better than escaping into another world with a book. Suddenly you are in another realm of stress free bliss.
4. Get a Massage: Not much explaining needs to be down here. Just let the masseuse massage the tension away.
5. Have a Girls Weekend: Sweep your little bridezilla away for a girls weekend. Make the weekend consist of activities that the bride loves to do. If she is loves art, take her to the museum and then head to a paint your own ceramics shop. Music lover, take her to a concert of one of her favorite bands. I think you get the idea. Just make it special and have it revolve around her interests.
6. Help Her Out: This is simple but will do wonders to relieve stress. Find out what she has left to complete for the wedding and help her do it. If she has to visit vendors, ask if she wants you to tag along. Sometimes an extra opinion will do wonders to calm the nerves about important choices.
7. Laugh It Up: Tell jokes and make her laugh. Not the funny type, then go to the local comedy club. Laughing has been proven to help relieve stress. Plus, it is just good fun.
8. Try an Art Class: Take an art class together. This is a fun and relaxing time, no worries just creating masterpieces. You could also visit a paint your own pottery store. This is my favorite place to go, because of the ease. You simply go in, pick your piece, and paint it. The store will handle the clean-up, and the firing of the piece.
9. Be a Good Listener: Sometimes when your stressed you just need someone to talk to. Let her talk about everything that is stressing her out. Just talking about everything will probably relieve a lot of stress instantly.
10. Meditation: Involves sitting in a relaxed position and clearing your mind. While it does take some practice, it has been proven to be amazingly effective in short term stress reduction and has proven long term health benefits. Learn more here.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
If you are having a winter wedding then it is probably going to be quite cold. My wedding was just last week and it was freezing! Not to mention the snow on the ground and in the air. This made for a pretty wedding but a cold walk to the car and for super cold pictures! Having your new hubby right beside you does not keep you as warm as you may think! To keep myself warm I opted for a fake fur wrap, but there are many options out there that would be great! I have the most classic designs pictured below. All of these designs are timeless and beautiful. Plus they will look great with a variety of dress styles.
Fall Colors
Having a fall wedding doesn’t have to incorporate a rustic theme complete with pumpkins and haystacks. A simple use of the fall color pallet opens the doors to an elegant and beautiful wedding. The colors of fall are bold and vibrant, which is the perfect match for a luxurious and romantic wedding feel. I know I continually talk about paying attention to the details of your wedding but it is super important! I think this is especially true for this inspiration board. The fall hues are displayed in every aspect of the wedding right down to the soup and the dessert. Everything goes together and everything flows. I think my absolute favorite thing is the chocolate wedding menus! They serve double duty as a menu and the favor. They also cut down on the paper used in the wedding and make a yummy treat. No one is going to throw this menu away!
