Pick location of wedding, then dress
From previous page
Many wedding planners
do caution you though
saying you should not pick
out your wedding dress
until after you are sure you
are doing the outdoor
wedding.
Why? you probably
wouldn't be very
comfortable in a long
sleeve, high neck cathedral
gown in the middle of
August in the middle of
your yard. You should opt
for a gown that breathes
and will allow you to be
comfortable.
The outdoor wedding
planner will have lots of
ideas for decorating.
Early morning, late
evening, they will have
great ideas to coincide with
what you want. The sweet
smell of citronella candles
can add a romantic effect to
your surroundings while
also keeping bugs off of
you and your guests. Be
sure everyone understands
this is an outdoor event and
they dress accordingly

probably not something you
want at your wedding.
Everyone from the
photographer to the caterer
need to work with you to
plan this special event.
Outdoor weddings can be
fun events if everything
goes according to plan.
Fun weddings these days
are taking many shapes.
One of ways couples are
incorporating fun, in a
daring sort of way, is
adventure weddings.
What is an adventure
wedding, you ask?
There are three types of
adventure weddings that
immediately come to mind.
They are: underwater
weddings, mountaintop
weddings, and (yes) the
skydiving wedding. Why?
you ask.
A big reason couples may
partake in adventure
nuptials is they want their
wedding to be like no other.
Traditional weddings,
although beautiful, may
seem to all be same and it
gets to the point that you
can't remember if it was
Bill and Sue's nuptials you
attended or Steve and
Sally's.
The adventure wedding
does not suffer from this
dilemma.
Experts say there are a
, few problems you might
encounter when planning an
adventure wedding.
First of all, you most
likely cannot have a
wedding for 200 on the top
of a mountain or
underwater. Thus,
participation of family and
friends may be greatly
limited.
Also, you might have
difficulty locating a
minister who will perform
the ceremony. You may
have to search high and low
(no pun intended) to find a
member of the clergy
willing to go to the lengths
required for an adventure
wedding.
Finally, you must contend
with the whims of the
weather. Rain might put a
real damper on an
adventure wedding that has
no back-up plan.
Check with your wedding
planner, he/she may have
suggestions to combat these
dilemmas. He may advise
you to have two
ceremonies, one as the
adventurous event with
your dearest and nearest
and another traditional party
for everyone else.
Outdoor weddings, on the
beach or on a mountaintop,
are becoming the way to go
for those people who want
some adventure and you
can be sure these are
weddings to be remembered
for a very long time.
Choose dress your bridal
party will want to wear
Brides won't have any
excuses this year for
making their bridal party
wear unflattering poofy
fuchsia dresses. That is
because this year's look
has a very distinctive
Moulin Rouge influence
with lots of flair. These
dresses include single
shoulder straps, lacing
and crisscrossed backs.
They are generally long
and can be flared,
straight, asymmetrical or
extremely light and
sheer. Above all, they are
sensual; and that means
lots of options for the
neckline. The colours are
very vibrant and include
lots of plum, aubergine,
wine red, gold and
electric blue. Some
softer colours include
mauve, lilac and pastel
green, pink and blue. It's
worth noting that black
remains a popular
choice. In addition, the
maid of honour will
often wear a stole to
complete her look.
Mothers of the bride
and groom will usually
wear a conservative
coatdress or a vested
dress. For a more elegant
look, they may decide to
wear a long, slimming
style. While organza and
satin are the most
popular choices, mothers
can also pick an outfit
made of fine new
materials that are light
and silky. Lace is a
particularly hot trend
right now. For example,
a lace coat can add the
perfect touch of luxury
and refinement to an
understated outfit. These
outfits for the mothers
usually come in colours
such as lilac, mauve,
pink, beige and all
shades of blue.
English style hats are
also commonly wom by
the mothers. Today's
trend is hats made of
transparent material and
decorated with draped
fabric.
