Wedding Party Guest

Monthly Archives: January 2012

When you attend a summer wedding as a guest, the only thing that is in your mind besides looking good is the weather. It is true that summer is one of the most beautiful seasons and this is because the weather is sunny, therefore, you don’t have to worry about carrying after you a pile of clothes and you also can wear pretty much anything you want.

But this is the exact problem of women. What to wear? Regardless the season, one thing is clear here: clothes will never be enough for us, so when it comes to a fabulous invitation to a summer wedding, the upper mentioned question will not be late to appear.

So, I will try to lend you a hand and offer you some ideas regarding the clothes that you can wear at a summer wedding party, dresses that also have to be in accordance with the weather. Why? Well, if the wedding party will be thrown outside, and the temperature will be a high one, then you should think about wearing something light, a large dress which is made of satin or silk. These materials allow the body to “breathe” and not only you will not sweat, but you will also feel fresh. If you are a thin person, you can wear a short dress to highlight your silhouette and if you believe that you have some extra kilos, then you can use a trick and hide those under a long and elegant dress.

If the wedding is going to be inside a ballroom, then you can pick either a long or a short dress, made of tulle, polyester or whatever material you desire and this is because here you will have the possibility to hide if the weather is bad or to cool down, if it is too hot outside. So, if the party will be thrown inside then you have all the desired possibilities.

Regarding the print and the color of the dress, I suggest you to choose powerful colors for this summer, such as fuchsia, red, orange, purple and so on and try to avoid colors such as white, ivory or any other shade of white. You know that this is the color of the bride, so in order to not make her feel like in a competition it would be better to settle for any other color. And let’s be serious, there are hundreds of nice prints and colors out there, right?

When it comes the moment of organizing the wedding event, the key word for this is chaos. You start to think at everything months before and yet, when you are really close to the event, you are never done and you still need to fix some things, to buy, and so on.

And among the things that still have to be settled is the beloved guest book. That magical book inside which are going to be written for eternity all the guests that have been there. I, personally, consider this to be a cliché and I believe that the wedding is the same, or why not even better without a guest book. Not to mention how silly feels to stay on the passage and wait for every guest to sign. But since the tradition imposes it, we must follow.

And for those who like to have such object at their weddings, I will offer them a great site which is called pretty suggestive, weddingguestbooks.com. This is extremely useful for those who can’t decide at one type of guest book and this is because here, you have many alternatives from where to choose. What I really liked about this site is that it is built for those who are running out of time. You just have everything separated in menus, so you won’t waste your day searching for the thing you need. For example, on the left side of the site you find the big menu from where you will choose the type of product that you need: wedding guest books, wedding accessories, wedding shoes and so on (this is that kind of “supermarket site”).

So, going back to the guest books, you have there another small menu: theme guest books, personalized guest books, seasonal guest books, traditional guest books, wedding guest books picture frames and finally, guest books platters.

Regarding those that I should recommend you, I will choose the last mentioned category which is guest books platters. I find really original the idea of writing all the guests’ names on plates, especially if you consider using these later. There are round plates or square ones, according to your taste and the prices are affordable, being between $41 and $65.

Now if you are more traditional and you desire to buy a classic guest book, I recommend you the Ivory Satin Mink Guest Book. This is extremely elegant and will add that certain distinction air to the event. The price for this type of guest book is $81, 50.

So, have a nice wedding my dear readers and enjoy the site!

The number one rule when you are a woman, and you attend a wedding party as a guest, is not to wear a white dress when it comes to the outfit. Why? Well, because this is considered to be the day of the bride and if she wears a white dress then you are going to make her feel just like in a competition. So, in order to avoid her feel badly you have to choose another color. And let’s be honest, there are lots of colors that can be chosen.

Recently I have been asked if ivory can be worn, because it is practically another shade of the white color. Well, it depends. If the bride wears a pure white dress, then you can decide to buy an ivory one. But, if the bride is the one using the ivory color, then you should avoid it.

I know that it may be a stupid rule, but believe me that women care a lot about clothes and on the day of their wedding they just desire to be the most beautiful ones and the most loved ones. So, nothing should ruin this day, no matter what. Maybe some women do not care that much about this aspect, but there are some brides, who I used to call “bridezillas”, who are really nervous when they feel a little competition, even if that girl didn’t mean it like this. So, in order to avoid all problems, you have to give up on choosing a dress that has the same color with the one of the bride.

And you have to know that this rule does not apply only at white or ivory dresses, but also at no matter which color the bride wears. So, if the bride is a little bit bolder than others and she decides that she would like to choose a red dress, for a themed wedding, then all the other guests should take into consideration this and avoid that color (and I mean here not to have a similar dress or a full red dress).

But, there is an exception that can allow you to wear the same color as the bride, and this happens when you receive on the invitation a dressing code that imposes a certain color or look. This usually happens when the bride organizes a themed wedding party, or when she chooses her bridesmaids to have the same dress color as her.

So, my advice would be to talk to the bride first, and decide if she has a problem or not with you wearing white or ivory. In this way you will know what to do.

When you attend a wedding party as a guest, you have to know first which is the dressing code. In this way you will know how to build your look, from the clothes that you are going to wear to the makeup, shoes and accessories. And if you do not have any indications in the invitation, then it is clear that the wedding is a classic one so, you can feel free to choose the look that you desire.

Today I will not talk about clothes, but I will try to give you some ideas regarding the nail color that you can wear as a wedding guest. And I will start by telling you that you should have the clothes in order to be able to decide about the nail polish. Considering that you have already done this, I will tell you that the summer is the season of life. It brings us color, freshness, hot temperatures and love.This is why you will have to look just like a part of the nature and not to try to wear heavy clothes, or colors.

The first color that I have in mind is fuchsia. I know that this color has been there since forever, but this is one of those colors that can never be old fashioned. So, if you are wearing a pale pink dress, a white one, a cream one, or anything that does not have a powerful color, then you can definitely choose this shade.

If your dress is a very colored one then you can choose a white shade for your nails. You can decide to choose a shell white, or a mate one, depending on your taste. This is also a color which goes extremely well with green, red, fuchsia, pink, or even with floral prints or animal prints. Being a neutral color, you can adapt it really well at all your outfit ideas.

Another color which I suggest you to choose for a summer wedding is Peach. This color is also a very sweet one and it offers elegance to the hands. No matter if you have long nails or short ones, this is appropriate to be used. It also goes really well with a red dress, with a purple one, with an orange one and so on.

Other colors that are known to be appropriate for summer are: red, coral, hot coral, shell pink, hot pink and of course for those who are bold enough, there are those green, aqua blue and purple colors.

So, which one is going to be the choice for you?

When you attend a wedding as a guest you have to look good and show respect toward the event. And as we all know, women have a very big sense of esthetics, this is why they always love to pamper themselves, to choose the best clothes and do everything that is in their power to fit the place and the event.

This is why I have thought that it would be better to offer you some ideas regarding the dresses that you should wear, and of course those that it is not advisable to wear, at a wedding party.

The first thing that you have to take into consideration is the fact that you do not have to wear a white dress under any circumstances. White is the color for the bride, so you have to avoid it in order not to make her feel like in a competition. You know that brides consider the wedding day one of the most important day of their life, so you do not have to eclipse their style and beauty.

You also have to take care not to wear a black dress if you are from the family, because there are some superstitions that mention the fact that the couple will have bad luck in marriage if family members are wearing black. So, try to choose anything else.

Going back to the dresses that you should wear, I must say that it is a must to wear red, because it suggests passion and love. Red has always been a very powerful shade, so for those of you who are bold enough, just pick a hot red dress and you are definitely going to have the number one outfit of the party.

If red is not your type, then you can choose a floral print dress, or maybe some powerful colors or pale ones, depending on your taste. Flowers are the symbol of the tenderness, so they will always have a special place in fashion. These are also appropriate for beach themed weddings.

Regarding the length of the dress, if you have long legs, then you can choose a short dress that highlights the body. If you are not that tall, try to avoid medium dresses, because these are making you look shorter and I believe that you do not want this, right?

If you do not have a certain store in your mind from where you can buy the dress, I suggest you to use the internet and get inspired. You will surely find something really nice, which also has a good price. Remember that there are hundreds of sales!

Choosing the dress for an important event such as the wedding, is quite a hard thing to be done and this is because, as a woman, you always try to look good, to choose the clothes that highlight your body and hide the “downsides”. But, I would dare to say that it is a far more difficult task to decide the hairstyle. Why? Because it is really hard to find someone that actually “reads your mind”.

So, today’s article is meant to offer you some hairstyles idea in order to ease a little bit that crazy search on the perfect look. And I will start by speaking about short hair, medium hair and long hair.

Short hair

If you are among those ladies who like to keep their hair short, then you have some nice options regarding the way in which you can arrange it. First of all, you can use some styling products, such as: foam, hair gloss, hair gel and so on, so you can make the hair look shiny and also give it the shape that you desire. Do not forget that the coiffure has to resist all the night so these are just perfect. The options aren’t that many: you can put the hair on one side, you can create a negligent look and so on.

Medium hair

For those who are having a medium hair, things are a little bit more complicated and this is because they have to actually create a coiffure. You can’t escape so easily with an elegant pony tail, but you can straighten it with the help of the hair iron and then add some nice curls at the end of every strand. In this way you will obtain a classy but elegant appearance. You can also decide to use the foam and obtain some wild curls.

Long hair

Girls with long hair are extremely happy and this is because they have many options. It is true that they need a lot more work, but in the end all the sophisticated looks are owned by them. What I really like to see at a long hair is a well done pony tail. There is nothing more trendy and elegant than a well done pony tail. But there are also other options for those who do not like the classy look. You can decide to make some curls and then catch all the hair on the top of your head. Up-done hair is also cool and elegant.

But, if none of my ideas are on your taste, then you can simply go at your stylist and ask him to use his imagination as good as he can. It would be far easier!

As a bride you have to take care of everything, from the organization of the wedding to the clothes and back to all the needed details for the honeymoon. And yet, when it comes the moment to offer the invitations, you have to take care to mention if the wedding party is going to be a themed one or not. If it is, you will be helping your guests to dress by offering the dress code.

Today I will give you some hints, on how the dresses of the guests should look like and more than this, which are the things to avoid when you are a guest and you pick up your dress.

Starting with the things to be avoided, I will tell you that you must not, under any circumstances, wear a white dress. This is the bride’s day and she is the only one that can wear this color. You will not want to make her feel like in a competition, right? Especially when there are so many other beautiful colors that can be chosen.

The next thing that should be avoided is not to wear the black color if you are part of the family. Since you are going at a wedding and not at a funeral, black should be avoided, even if sometimes a small black dress can take you out of any trouble.

Going back to the dress ideas, I will offer you the name of a site, which is edressme.com, where you will be able to find awesome models at great prices. So, don’t look sadly at your wallet, because this time it is safe.

The first dress that got my attention is the one called Silver Lace Cocktail Dresses by Adrianna Papell. As the name suggests, the material from which it is made is pure lace, which offers a very elegant look to the outfit, even if we deal here with a short sexy dress. The silver color is sweet and the shape of the dress highlights the body really well. And now, I will come to surprise you again, by telling you that it costs only $190.

It fits every type of body shape because of its model and thanks to its flowing design it also offers a mysterious aura to the one wearing it.

So girls, start shopping!

There are many things a wedding guest needs to do for a wedding, but one of the most important things they are required to do is to find the perfect dress. There are some rules which wedding guests should be following, but most of the people are not aware of these rules and they end up showing up at a wedding wearing the wrong clothes. Of course, there is no one who would go to a wedding wearing jeans, but there are some people who make big mistakes in what concerns their wedding attire.

The most important thing you need to k now is that you need to make a difference between the type of clothing you wear to a formal wedding and the type of attire you are wearing to a casual one. For instance, a formal wedding requires women to show up wearing very elegant and sober – looking clothes. If you are to attend a day time formal wedding, you have to choose between wearing a very sober dress, accessorized with the proper shoes and things and a very formal suite. If the wedding is during the night, however, you will lose the suite and maybe try on a beautiful and very luxurious long dress. Usually, these types of dresses are accessorized with the right shoes an jewelry, so as to make sure that everything is in order.

In what concerns casual weddings, women have more choices here. As long as the dress is not too lacey or too revealing, you can wear it, but make sure you have the right accessories for it. Another rule that seems to be forgotten is that women should not be wearing white to a wedding that is not theirs. Usually, the wedding day is about the bride, who needs to stand out from the crowd and what better way to do it if not by being dressed in white? If there are more women wearing white, things can get a little confusing and the bride can get really upset.

As I already mentioned, there are many rules that need to be followed when you are invited to a wedding, but the most important things you need to know is that you should avoid wearing white and you should also stay away from lacey stuff and too revealing clothes. There are going to be both young children and very old people at the wedding and you do not want to be disrespectful by showing off too much skin, now do you?
