<td valign="top">If you are one of the many women who spend half their lives   thinking about their wedding day, you certainly want to look your fabulous   best when the big day is finally here. The wedding dress is perhaps the   single item that captures the most attention during a wedding. The man who   will be spending the rest of his life with you, as well as your family   members and friends, will all be hoping to see you look absolutely stunning   on the happiest day of your life, and you definitely do not want to   disappoint them. If you want your wedding day to be a wonderful and memorable   experience for everybody, it is essential that you know how to choose the   right wedding dress. There are many different types of wedding dress for you   to choose from, and you have to select one that suits your body type and   personality.</p>
<p><a title="ball gown" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/product-details/5950/wedding-gowns/MoriLee" target="_blank"><strong> Full Skirt Gown or Ball Bridal Gown</strong></a></p>
<p>The full skirt gown is an elegant gown that is comprised of a traditional   full skirt and a fitted bodice. The skirt is usually layered with crushed   organza ruffles or other airy fabrics, and the bodice often features beaded   lace motifs. This type of wedding dress is suitable for brides with full   figure, thin, or pear-shaped body type. It is also recommended for those who   have a petite or hour-glass figure.</p>
<p><a title="a line" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/product-details/5710/wedding-gowns/Ronald-Joyce" target="_blank"><strong> A-Line or Princess Wedding Gown</strong></a></p>
<p>The A-line wedding gown is another classic wedding dress. As its name   suggests, it is shaped like the letter “A”. Most A-line wedding dresses have   a tapered top, flared skirt, and a sloped waist, and they look good on women   whose figures are heavier at the waist or hips. This type of wedding dress is   characterized by a fitted bodice without waist, and it flares gently at the   waistline. It can come in many different styles, most of which have   attractive embellishments such as lace trim, beading, embroidery, and even   chapel length train. The princess wedding gown is similar to the a-line   dress, but it does not come with visible vertical panels.</p>
<p><a title="mermaid" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/product-details/5957/wedding-gowns/MoriLee" target="_blank"><strong> Mermaid Wedding Dress</strong></a></p>
<p>The mermaid wedding dress is usually fitted at the top and the hips, and it   widens out at the knees. This graceful and elegant dress is a great option   for petite women who have a small bust and waist, because it can accentuate   their nice figures. If you want a truly sensual slender look, you can wear a   mermaid wedding dress that has a sweetheart neckline and bell sleeves.</p>
<p><a title="empire waist" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/product-details/5956/wedding-gowns/MoriLee" target="_blank"><strong> Empire Waist Wedding Dress</strong></a></p>
<p>The empire waist wedding dress is very fitted around the bust, and the rest   of it falls straight. It has a dividing line just below the bust that creates   an illusion of a fuller bust. It is suitable for brides who have a smaller   bust, or less than perfect waistline and hips.</td>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a bride in the midst of planning your wedding, you may discover that shopping for the perfect bridesmaid dresses can be a challenge. You could find yourself dealing with the conflicting opinions of your own bridesmaids. Perhaps, you already have a vague idea of what you want, but are confronted by a plethora of options. No matter what difficulties may lie ahead in shopping for the prefect bridesmaid dresses, you must keep in mind that you have the ultimate power to choose your <a class="wpgallery" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/designers/bridesmaid-dresses/1" target="_blank">bridesmaid dresses</a>. When it comes to having a wedding, planning is everything. Therefore, take an organized approach by considering some of the following aspects.</p>
<p><strong>Budget</strong><br />
Know your budget. If your bridesmaids are paying for their own bridesmaid dresses, solidify your budget together. Take the time to meet with your bridesmaids and include them in the process, especially if they are responsible for paying for at least a portion of the dresses. A meeting is also an opportune time to discuss other potential design aspects, especially if you are feeling indecisive.</p>
<p><strong>Colors and Fabric</strong><br />
What colors for bridesmaid dresses align with your wedding theme? Usually, a bride chooses <a class="wp-oembed" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/designers/bridesmaid-dresses/14" target="_blank">bridesmaid dresses</a> based upon the color palette that was chosen specifically for the wedding. Also, feel different fabrics. Are you looking for a matte fabric or a satin material with a special shimmer? Since your wedding will have many photo opportunities, consider how each fabric will look behind the camera lens.</p>
<p><strong>Personal Preferences</strong><br />
Define your personal preference for bridesmaids dresses. Understand that in the end, your opinion wins. After all, this is your wedding day and it’s up to you to choose your ideal set of bridesmaid dresses. You may want to take the time to discover your bridesmaids&#8217; personal style preferences. Some brides allow their bridesmaids to have the freedom to choose their own bridesmaid dresses, particularly if the bride asks for the bridesmaid to pay for the dress or a portion of it. If your bridesmaids’ style preferences do not align, are you willing to compromise or are you sticking to the vision of what you already want?</p>
<p><strong>Figure Types</strong><br />
Evaluate your bridesmaids&#8217; figures. Many brides acknowledge that their bridesmaids come in all shapes and sizes. Are you willing to accommodate different shapes and sizes? For example, would you consider purchasing the same color and fabric in different dress shapes? You can offer your bridesmaids the option to choose from various shapes, from cap sleeve dresses to halters. To maintain the uniformity, you can stick with the same exact fabric and color.</p>
<p>Finding bridesmaid dresses can be a challenge. After all, you want them to look nice and align with your wedding theme, all while making sure your bridesmaids wearing them are happy.</p>

<h1>Wedding Invitations</h1>
<p>Wedding invitations not only come in all shapes and sizes and colours, but the actual wording used, the font and layout all contribute to the overall effect. And then there are the envelopes! And don’t forget the paper or card used.</p>
<p>So where to begin?</p>
<h2>Types of Invitation</h2>
<p>This is very variable. Here are some basic types:</p>
<ul>
<li>A single page card and single reply card</li>
<li>A fold-out envelope with card and separate reply card</li>
<li>A single folded invitation which opens like a book</li>
<li>A double fold invitation which opens like French windows</li>
</ul>
<p>You could also have a bespoke or novelty shape but these will be more expensive and availability will be limited to specialist printers.</p>
<h2>Choosing colours and text style</h2>
<p><strong><br />
</strong>Once you have your basic design, the next choice is colour scheme. You may want your wedding invitation to match the scheme of the wedding reception or you may just go for a traditional white card with black or gold lettering.</p>
<p>You should bear in mind that the more colours you use, the more expensive it will be to print.</p>
<p>The font of the text should come next. You have the option to go with a more traditional cursive font which resembles handwriting or a modern, more jazzy font, or just a simple clear serif (like Times Roman) or sans serif font (like Arial).</p>
<p>The printer or card designer will be able to provide you with examples and it is worthwhile looking at previous work so you can see the quality and get some ideas. Take a look at <a href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/wedding-invitations">Bella’s Brides</a> to see examples of what is available. Bella’s Brides one stop bridal shop offers a comprehensive  wedding invitation service.</p>
<h2>Wording</h2>
<p>The wording of wedding invitations can be very personal, but it is important to ensure all the information about the ceremony and the reception is included and that a dress code is stipulated. Again, an experienced designer or printer will advise. The protocols of former years are easing and it is no longer always the case that the bride’s family are solely responsible for the wedding invitations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life. This is a monumental occasion and signifies the beginning of a journey to eternity. The vows that you take during your wedding represent a serious commitment for you both and it is appropriate that today should be recorded for posterity. Much time and preparation must be devoted to your wedding day, as you want everything to go off without a hitch. Make no mistake about it, while you will be very excited and thrilled, you will also be quite nervous and anticipatory. Details, details, details – it&#8217;s all in the details!</p>
<p>While it is true to say that the memories of this special day will be ingrained upon your memory for years to come, you&#8217;ll also want a lot of visual clues to stir the memory in the years ahead. We live such a busy existence that even the very best memories start to fade as time goes by. You want to be sure that you do not forget anything and will invariably rely on the best <a title="wedding photographer" href="http://www.aperfectshot.ca" target="_blank">wedding photographer in Toronto</a> to help you repaint the picture.</p>
<p>Choosing a place for wedding photography can be quite a task by itself. We want the memories to be a true reflection of what happened on that great day and the locations that we select in advance will therefore be quite crucial. Indeed, choosing a place for your wedding photography can be one of the primary tasks as you get things ready and you should also consider the possibility of inclement weather, sad but possible, by choosing an alternate venue.</p>
<p>While you plan the outline of your entire wedding&#8217;s organization, you should look for assistance from your photographer. He or she will have an experienced eye and be able to advise you about the best locations. Just because one of these appears to be particularly photogenic, it does not mean that it will be entirely suitable for your needs and for the desired outcome. Backdrop, lighting, time of day, space, set-up considerations – all must be taken into account.</p>
<p>When choosing the best in <a href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/wedding-photography" target="_blank">Toronto wedding photography</a> locations, consider some of these venues:</p>
<p><em><strong>Newmarket Tannery</strong></em></p>
<p>This is an ideal location if the weather looks a bit “iffy.” It is indoor, but has lots of natural light. The decor is very ornate, with a Roman architecture theme – lots of granite, large pillars. It has a lovely fountain, which may be able to form the centerpiece.</p>
<p><strong><em>Guildwood Park</em></strong></p>
<p>This is one of our favorites and is designed in the style of an amphitheater with Versace-style architecture, a lot of ornate pillars and arches that can really add a splendid backdrop to the photography. This location is next to a grand lake.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Distillery District</strong></em></p>
<p>This is a very “hip” and cool place. It&#8217;s highly recommended and may be reserved well in advance, so consult your wedding photographer in Toronto soon. There&#8217;s a lot of visual art and perfect architecture, with iron and wooden gateways, etc.</p>
<p><em><strong>Edwards Gardens</strong></em></p>
<p>For those of you who are familiar with James Gardens, this is a similar setup with sparkling fountains, a staircase to stage the photographs, yet a lot more room.</p>
<p>While seeking out help with <a title="wedding photography" href="http://www.aperfectshot.ca" target="_blank">wedding photography in Toronto</a>, wedding dresses could be next on your list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The bridesmaid is an important figure in the wedding scene, as she can be such a valuable assistant in the days leading up to the big event, a shoulder to cry on when things get a little stressful (as they will), a familiar face during the event itself and a valued caretaker to mop things up afterward. There&#8217;s a lot to do and a great deal of planning to make sure that your friend has the most important day of her life.</p>
<p>You have been chosen as the bridesmaid because you mean something very special to the bride. You can view this as an honor, for indeed it is. However, there&#8217;s quite a lot of work involved as well. Do everything you can to anticipate problems and to smooth over any wrinkles and you&#8217;ll be sure to have enhanced your friendship!</p>
<p>Right from the beginning, the bride may ask you for your input to help with administrative tasks. Start to get involved with preparing invitations, even if this means just addressing the envelopes in your best writing style. If you have a creative style, this will likely not have gone unnoticed by the bride and you can help out a lot by assisting with the selection of appropriate decor, decorations and party favors.</p>
<p>The bridesmaid should also be a good organizer, ideally and help to take a lot of the weight off the bride and groom&#8217;s shoulders. Ensure that everything is ordered and is set to be delivered in plenty of time.</p>
<p>You may go along with the bride and the maid of honor to look for that beautiful wedding dress. In T<a title="bridal store" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca" target="_blank">oronto, wedding dresses</a> are fit for a queen and you may be able to help her select styles and accessories if she chooses<a title="custom wedding dress" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/designers/wedding-gowns/4" target="_blank"> custom wedding dresses</a>. Remember that when wedding dresses are selected, <a title="bridesmaid dresses" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/bridesmaid-dresses" target="_blank">bridesmaid dresses</a> are as well and this will be a great treat for you.</p>
<p>The days immediately before a wedding are a whirl of activity and you should help to ensure the bachelorette party goes off without a hitch and that everybody knows where and when the rehearsal dinner is taking place. The big day itself will soon come and you should be ready as a personal assistant with anything that could possibly have been forgotten close at hand.</p>
<p>After the wedding has taken place, you can be the point of contact when bride and groom slip away on their honeymoon. Of course they don&#8217;t want to be worried with any “admin” back home and you could do a lot to make sure that their honeymoon is memorable by looking after the distribution of photographs, cleaning up details after the party and handling all that paperwork.</p>
<p>It can seem as if there is so much to do that you&#8217;re afraid that you might forget something. Do yourself a favor &#8211; just don&#8217;t forget to call on the resources of professionals and as recommended by the bridal shop, Toronto has plenty of contacts to help you out.</p>

		<title>How to Choose a Dress for the Mother of the Bride and the Mother of the Groom</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Choosing a dress for mother's is an important part in making the wedding perfect.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A wedding is one of the most enjoyable social occasions. Most people like to make it a real day to remember and put a lot of effort into its preparation and organization. Because weddings are such a part of our society, tradition over the years has done much to dictate how we approach them. This is not to say that you must create a “cookie cutter” style of affair at all, but it does mean that certain conventions need to be met just to satisfy tradition and expectations. As a bride or groom you may be somewhat unconventional and used to alternative approaches, but the chances are that your parents are not and will be looking for a more sedate affair!</p>
<p>However you structure your wedding, you want to be sure that everyone is happy and that no “toes” are stepped on, figuratively speaking, as you walk down the aisle. In this perspective, a little bit of care should be shown when choosing a dress for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom. The selection process will require etiquette and attention to style, but if all are aware of where they stand, everything should go off without a hitch.</p>
<p>The mother of the bride should discuss selection of dresses with her daughter a long time in advance. It&#8217;s best to start preparing these things at least six months ahead as this will leave plenty of time for all parties to select and order. There will also be adequate time for special features, alterations and so on to be scheduled if necessary. <a title="custom dresses" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca" target="_blank">Custom wedding dresses </a>do take quite a while to prepare and you want to be sure that each of the principal figures has a beautiful wedding dress for the big day.</p>
<p><a title="mother's dresses" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/mothers-dresses" target="_blank">The mother of the bride&#8217;s dress </a> should never be white; this should be reserved of course for just the bride. A black dress is considered to be bad luck and anything with too vibrant a color is simply considered to be too much. Coordinate the mother of the bride&#8217;s dress so that it complements the appearance of the bridal party.</p>
<p><a title="mother's dresses" href="http://www.bellasbrides.ca/mothers-dresses" target="_blank">The mother of the groom&#8217;s dress </a> should never overpower the mother of the bride&#8217;s dress as this is considered to be bad etiquette. A simple coordination in advance will ensure that there are no unpleasant surprises on the day and once again, the groom&#8217;s mother should ensure that her dress is complementary to the whole party.</p>
