Rules of Etiquette for Mother's Attire

While it is important to allow your mother and future mother-in-law to pick a style they both feel comfortable in, there are some rules of etiquette that they should keep in mind.
Tradition holds that the mother of the bride chooses a dress first, followed by the mother of the groom. Their dresses should complement each other, as well as the bridal party.
For instance, having one mother in a floor length dress and another in a mini-skirt is a major no-no. Likewise, your mother wearing an orange dress next to your bridesmaid’s light green ensembles are bound to make your wedding pictures look tacky.
While your moms shouldn’t be wearing the same style and color, their dresses should coordinate.
Generally, at formal weddings, your mother and mother-in-law should be in floor or tea-length dresses. Semi-formal or informal weddings allow them to get more creative with the length, but they still need to make sure they are complementing one another.
Unless your bridesmaids will be wearing black, a mother of the bride or groom should avoid this color. Until recently, black at weddings was considered a social blunder and many guests will still look at the color choice with suspicion.
Steer them away from choosing a color that will raise eyebrows as to whether or not they approve of the marriage.
Don’t forget to finish the look with a matching corsage or a small bouquet.

Your Wedding: 3 Styles For Each Season

As we mentioned before, the time of year your wedding falls in is quite a big thing to consider when you’re picking your dress. It really wouldn’t do, for example, to be shivering in a breezy, knee-length affair in the middle of winter… sweating unattractively through your make-up in summer.
It seems to us that the question of “wedding date and wedding dress – which comes first?” is something of a chick and egg argument. Regardless of whether or not you’ve picked your wedding date yet, or whether or not you’ve already got a style of dress in mind, taking a look at what styles best suit each season can’t hurt, right?

Spring

Think flowers! The spring season has traditionally always been considered a romantic time for weddings – it’s the season for new beginnings, and what is more romantic than beginning a new life together surrounded by budding flowers?
We believe that spring is one of the more dreamy seasons, so take a look at fuller skirted gowns. As the weather warms, you’ll also be able to handle sleeveless dresses. Patterned lace and soft ruffles made from lighter fabrics such as chiffon and organza will be a good touch.

Summer

This is the perfect season for outdoors weddings – think beach, garden, or backyard weddings! There’ll be lots of green, lots of bright colors, and sunlight to reflect your joy and happiness during this momentous occasion.
Since it’s going to be warm, we would recommend shorter dresses, light fabrics, and maybe little cheeky touches here and there. You should go for something soft and breezy, and be careful to avoid decorations that may appear too “heavy” for the season such as overly ornate ruffles.

Autumn

Another great season for outdoor weddings. It’s festive, but still manages to have a somewhat “mellow” feel. Usually favorite for those who are looking for warm and intimate weddings, as autumn the season for getting together with family and close friends.
Cream or off-white dresses will really match with the colors of the season. This season is quite flexible – both long or short wedding dresses are ideal. However, fall weather is a little tricky, and liable to change at any minute, so perhaps you should look for dresses that match well with a wrap.

Winter

This season is magical! Just imagine all the snow, the sparkle, the perfect whiteness… It’s definitely one of the dreamy seasons, and absolutely perfect for indoor weddings.
We recommend taking a look at gowns with dramatic sweeps and maybe even a long train. Lace and shimmering beading or decorations would really work well – think of a winter ball! If you’re looking to wear a long-sleeved wedding gown, then this is also the season for you.

Lebanese designer says wedding gowns have bright future in fashion

Zuhair Murad, a Lebanese designer, stated his confidence on the future of wedding dresses in fashion.
In an interview, Murad said that gowns ranging from weddingcoo wedding dresses to modern ones could serve as an inspiration for cocktail or dinner dresses. There are simply a lot of possibilities that can be seen on designing dresses inspired from wedding gowns, the designer added. Not to mention the sexy classy bridal lingerie which forms the basis for the entire dress.
Murad designs ready-to-wear collections and specially-made dresses for clients. He has dressed some of the biggest Hollywood stars and royal families in the Middle East. He added that there has been a spike in sales in other major markets such as Europe, China and Russia.
The designer cautioned that despite this seemingly growing trend, designers should still be prudent when it comes to designing a new line with this motif. He stressed that collaborations with other companies could still be a viable option to come up with great designs.

Budget-friendly wedding tips

Smart couples these days carefully consider all wedding expenses, from the invitations and flowers, to venue and honeymoon, mainly owing to the recession. So, I've here are two key points that any budget-friendly wedding should definately consider:
Use of the internet: With more people being connected with the internet, it is easy for couples to send their wedding invitations online. Instead of spending a lot on printing formal invitations on fancy paper, design an attractive invitation using imaging software then send these electronic cards online.
Many wedding services can also be compared on line, which will help you find the best and most competitive deal out there for you.
That wedding dress: Instead of going to wedding dress sections in department stores, check with close family relatives and friends if they have a wedding dress that you can buy or borrow because chances are they may be able to let go of these dresses because it will go to someone special like you. Plus, the dress may look be rather weddingcoo!
