Want to know the secret to the most beautiful weddings? Well my friend that would be you! Your wedding reflects you, your groom and your love for each other. In other words, you don't have to do everything by the book. Make it personal!
A way to do this is simple, you figure it out.
I was in Wal* Mart yesterday and was reading Bride magazine and saw an article about something near and dear to my heart; colored shoes. I have my wedding pretty much planned out, and I have long since ditched plain white shoes. I mean when your picking wedding colors your picking favorite colors, well you have your dream dress, go get a pair of those pretty colored heels that you've been eyeing, because the trend is in!
A fun color that's making it's self known? Strawberry. Yes strawberry pink. I never really paid attention to the color before but seeing it on a dress, well they have me convinced that I could rock the shade. =)

Bridezilla's
If you are getting married or know someone who is, I'm sure you have heard the stories, watched the show's and see that Bridezilla's are famous. Famous for demanding, bratty and mean. The truth is, and I get this from experts, is that bridezilla's are really not that common. So how does one avoid being a bridezilla? Can any one avoid being a bridezilla? Well the answer to both questions is " yes". The reason most brides have these melt downs and freak out moments is stress. Weddings can be beautiful and alot of fun, but there's alot that goes into planning a wedding. Things can go wrong, things get delayed, and yeah brides can become irriated. Here's my advice:
1. Hire a planner. Planners can take care of those phone calls for you. Make sure yoou stay on top of everything, and have connections to great deals on vendors and venues.
2. Get people involved. Have mom take care of flowers. You do not have to do everything your self. If people are willing to help, LET THEM!!! Make sure that the are up to date on what you want and make sure you aprove of their choices but hey it's one less thing on your plate.
3. Monitor your self, make sure you eat right and excerise. If your stressed, take a step back and go take a nap, or do a facial mask, whatever you like to do to destress do it. Don't let it bottle up inside and explode on the night before the big day!
4. Have some plan B's. In case something happens, you can just reach into your bridal bag and pull it out like a magician. Hahaha Evil Bridal Twin!
I think that these look simple but they can go a long way. No need for insanely long list's. You know you and you know what your limits are.
If your married and avoided bridezilla mode, share what you did to avoid becomeing Bridezilla!
I am waiting on a job, so keep me in your prayers!

Bridesmaids!
So I think it's safe to say that finding yopur dream wedding dress is in some way's simple, but when it comes to finding a bridesmaids dress that works for all shapes and sizes and makes them happy. True they'll wear wear what you want them too, but bridesmaids do pay for their own dresses. Here are some popular trends.
* More and more I hearand read about brides pick a color and have their bridesmaides go and pick a dress that fit's their body shape and is something that they love. I am a huge fan of this idea because it insures that your bridesmaids are comfortable and love what their wearing.
* If your more into a more traditional, and want everybody to wear one dress, take your bridesmaids with you and let them pick a gown that they all can agree on.
* There are some brides who let the bridesmaids pick the color they want to wear. Now I am not sold on this idea because everybody won't look as put together. if it's dress styles that has you having a hard time go with option one.
Another popualr trend is to buy the bridesmaid dresses from places like j crew and Banana Republic. The dresses are affordable and can be worn to any other occasion. Which leads to another trend, most brides and bridesmaids are looking at dresses that can be worn again for any occassion. It's a good way to make the money spent worth it. you can find these dresses in Bridal shops as well.
As i predicted The Knot has way's to have the Royal Wedding and call it yours. Now i want to add that it's your wedding and every wedding is your Royal Wedding, you don't have to have a wedding just like William and Catherine's. Though it's good to get ideas. =)
I now want to take a moment and thank our military. God Bless and come home soon! Thanks for serving your country nin ways others won't!
