Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Silver Sixpence in her Shoe ?
This rhyme originated in Victorian times. Something Old signifies that the Couple’s friends will stay with them. In one version of the tradition the Something Old was an old garter which was given to the bride by a happily married woman so that the new bride would also enjoy a happy marriage. Something New looks to the future for health, happiness and success.
Something Borrowed is an opportunity for the Bride’s family to give her something as a token of their love (it must be returned to ensure Good Luck), and Something Blue is thought lucky because Blue represents fidelity and constancy. The custom began in ancient Israel where brides wore a blue ribbon in their hair to symbolize their fidelity. A sixpence was placed in the shoe to bring the couple wealth in their married life. Some brides still place a penny in their shoe during the marriage ceremony.

how to find the ring
Donald says:
OK folks, I’m about to give up so thought I would try here. I saw a ring on Ebay that I know my wife would love. The problem is, after some back and forths with the seller, I was just not comfortable dealing with her and she also tried to jack up the price. Here is what I am looking for except I want it in yellow gold. The center ruby is about 1.4 or so in size and the diamonds total .25 I think. I can provide more details if anybody has this ring available.

How toHow to Pick the Perfect Lace Wigs for Yourself
First, apply the skin protectant to your own hairline. Pin all of the hair back into a ponytail or bun. Any remaining hair near the hairline or layered hair should be pinned back with clips.

Next, fit the lace wig to your head. You should then cut the lace. Make sure to not cut too close yet as you are still just eyeballing the positioning. When cutting, leave about 1 ? inches of lace remaining.

Next, eyeball the area you will tape. If applying the 4 shorter stripes, you should aim for both temples and above both eyebrows. Most tape has 2 paper sheets to peel off. Remove the first sheet by hand and apply. The next sheet can be removed with the tweezers as to not get your hands stuck to the tape.
With glue, you may see a minor shine on your scalp. First, make sure to remove excess glue before attempting to reduce glue shine. Take a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and carefully rub over the glue. For minor glue spots, this should loosen up the bond and be able to be easily removed. Once your hairline is dry, you can apply a pressed powder to reduce glue shine.

Téma: Adopce na dálku / Finding the best wedding gown styles for your figure

Finding the best wedding gown styles for your figure
Finding the best wedding gown styles for your figure can be a challenge if you are a petite bride or tall bride. The following suggested wedding dress styles will get you started finding the perfect dress for your wedding.
Petite Short Bride
The challenge is to add height or length to your silhouette. Look for dresses that have vertical lines.
A-line wedding gowns and Princess wedding gowns are good choices if you “keep the flare moderate.” The addition of princess seaming add length to the body.
The empire waist wedding dress can give length in the torso. But be careful. If you have a prominent bust or very small busted, the empire waist style wedding gown direct the focus of attention to the bust area.
Sheath style wedding dresses and mermaid wedding dress styles are choices you can consider also.
Be careful though of the mermaid style. If you are a petite bride, this is not an easy style to wear. This style is better for a figure that is 57 to 59. Plus for most petite brides the flare might not start on your figure in the right place.
Also, when a significant amount has to be cut off of the hem of a mermaid wedding dress style, you are cutting off a lot of the fullness in the flare, which may or may not be a good thing.
So if you want to wear this popular style and you are petite what can you do? First wear the highest heeled shoe you can manage. Try on different mermaid style wedding gowns. Note where the flare starts and how much hem will need to come off.
I have seen this style work on some petite brides but the trick is to make sure the flare is minimal and start at your knee.
What about a ball gown? Experts say you should avoid this style. But if you must try it, get a style isn’t very poufy in the skirt. Full poufy ball gown wedding gowns have a tendency to shorten the figure.
Also, avoid very long trains because this overwhelms your figure type and can make you look shorter.
Tall Bride Slender Body Shape
As has been mentioned before, most of the designers design their gowns to fit a bride that is 5’9" tall. Most wedding gown styles look flattering on you.
But if you are concerned about not looking to tall or slender, there are a few guidelines I want to pass on to you.
Create width in the details on the dress. Some horizontal ruching, deep tucks and gathering, in the bodice can add width.
Very full skirts like ball gown, a line gowns and princess line gowns can shorten your appearance.
Especially when the silhouette almost appears wide in proportions to your height, makes you look shorter.
Wedding gown styles with a basque waist—-waist that forms a V-point at waist front—- and an off the shoulder neckline pared with a wide skirt has a shortening affect. Tiers of ruffles or layers in the skirt will shorten you.
The bottom line: These are just a few fashion guidelines to get you started when you are ready to shop for wedding gown styles that will compliment your figure.
Sometimes though…. what normally is mentioned as a style that will not look good on a particular figure type, just might work for you. It just depends on how all of the design elements of the gown work together. So you don’t have to rule out completely any style, try on different styles of gowns to see what you like.

Picking The Right Wedding Dress Bustle For Your Bridal Gown
When it comes to picking a wedding dress bustle how do you choose the best one for your gown?
In this article you will learn the answer to this question plus the following frequently asked questions about bustling a wedding dress.
What is a wedding gown bustle? Do I need to bustle my wedding dress?
What are the various wedding gown bustle types?
How do I know which one is best for my wedding gown? When should I have my bustle put up at my wedding?
The above questions are frequently asked of me in my bridal alterations business.
We will answer them for you below and show you various bustle types.
What Is A Wedding Dress Bustle?
A bustle lifts the train up in a decorative fashion off of the floor so that you don’t have to carry the train on your wrist or over your arms.
Very few wedding dress designers have a bustle built in the dress, so you will have to have your wedding dress alterations specialist add a bustle to your gown.
A bustle makes it convenient for you to walk around and dance without the train getting in your way.
It is held up on the skirt of your train by sets of hooks and loops or buttons and loops. One bustle style uses sets of ties or a set of ties and loops to hold the train up.
“The bride in the picture to the right chose to have her chapel length train bustled into an American wedding dress bustle style.”
Do I Need A Bustle For My Wedding Gown?
If you have a chapel length train or longer you may want a bustle. As mentioned before you will be able to keep you hands free for the reception. You especially need one if you will be walking around and dancing in your gown for hours at the reception.
You don’t need a bustle if you have a short sweep train. You also may not want a bustle if you only will wear your dress for a short time. Otherwise, it is worth the cost to have one added to your dress for the convenience of it.
What Are The Types Of Bustles I Can Choose From?
There are three basic wedding dress bustle styles that are popular now:
American Bustle – This style is also often called the “outer bustle” because your train is hooked up on the outside of the dress. To do this there are buttons or hooks placed on the outside of your gown with corresponding loops.
French Bustle – This style is also called an “under bustle” or European bustle." This bustle has ties sewn underneath the skirt and train to lift the gown. Once you tie up the ties, the outside forms a flap or a series of flaps for multiple tie sets..
Ballroom Bustle – This wedding dress bustle style is sometimes called a "flip under or “flip up” bustle. With this type of bustle the train flips up under the dress and buttons are sewn to the skirt and loops are sewn to the hem of the train to button up. Once bustled, this train looks like a floor length dress all the way around.
How Do I Choose The Best Bustle For My Dress?
Most of the time you will be shown either the American bustle or the French bustle. Have the seamstress show you both. With help from the sewing professional you will be able to tell which one looks best with your dress.
Most of the time one bustle style will look better than another. But in some cases each style bustle looks equally as good. In this case it is just a matter of which one you like the best.
But when it comes to the ballroom bustle this one is used less often than the American and French wedding dress bustle styles. Why?
Well… a lot of seamstresses are not familiar with doing a ballroom bustle. However, for certain style wedding dresses this is the best wedding dress bustle style to use. Another reason is that this is the most expensive bustle type because you usually need at least 11 or more button sets to hold the train up.
So you will be the judge, together with the seamstress as to which bustle looks best and falls within your budget.
When Should I Put My Wedding Dress Bustle Up?
This again depends on what you want to do. Some brides put their wedding gown bustle up before they walk into the reception. Others wait a while into the reception time and then before the first dance have it put up.
Whether you decide to wait to put it up during the reception will depend on how easy it is to hook your bustle up. If it is easy… then you can wait and hook it up during the reception. If it is the American bustle this could be done in front of the guest without exposing the under part of your bridal dress.
But if you have a French bustle or a Ballroom bustle… because the train of your dress will have to be lifted above your waist to tie it or button it up, you will need to have this done out of the sight of your guests. That is why most brides with these types of bustles often do so before they go into the reception. Otherwise, you would have to leave your reception to have the bustle put up.

Téma: Jak postupovat / What are considered the best wedding dress fabrics for the mature bride to wear?

What are considered the best wedding dress fabrics for the mature bride to wear?
The mature bride is looking for something carefree. The best “fuss free” wedding dress fabrics are those that have a soft hand and will not wrinkle easily.
Wrinkles in a gown show up prominently in wedding pictures. I don’t have to tell you how much that detracts from a bride.
Bridal fabrics such as satin, chiffon, georgette, crepes, crepe back satins, poly silk blends and any soft draping fabrics will be best. You will be wrinkle free if you choose one of these fabrics in a polyester fiber.
For the mature bride natural fibers such as silks, linens and cottons may be more comfortable to wear because they allow air to circulate. This is important if you are warm-natured.
The only thing about wearing natural fiber fabrics is that they wrinkle very easily. I have though come across silks that resist wrinkling. Higher grade silks do not wrinkle very much.
That’s why you will want a “natural fiber and a blend of polyester” together to lessen the wrinkle factor. The fabric will still be somewhat breathable. And although it won’t eliminate all wrinkles, it will at least lessen them.
Empire waist wedding dresses hide the mid section and tummy areas
Strapless wedding dress with a jacket covers the back and arm areas
A-line wedding gowns are flattering to all figure types the higher the a-line flare starts the more coverage your figure will get below that point. For more on this subject go to the section on this site to learn more about the figure flattering a-line wedding dress.
Princess line gown—-an a-line dress with princess seaming. The vertical lines are figure flattering.
Mature brides over 50 and 60 want modest wedding dresses with higher necklines and that have sleeves.
Some older brides who want a sassy, sensual look, feel that off the shoulder wedding dresses are more age appropriate than strapless wedding dresses.
Make sure your bridal dress is slightly loose in areas you don’t want to call attention to like a thick waist, protruding tummy or if you are pear shaped your hips and/or thighs.
These styles have worked out well for many mature brides. Try on a few to see which one will look best on you and suit your personal style.

everyone think about yellow gold engagement rings? All that I’ve seen the
stone itself is set in white gold with a yellow gold band – do you think that’s
tacky? I am talking about solitaires, to clarify. I think yellow gold looks better with my skintone and it’s my general preference, but white gold seems to be the modern classic for engagement rings. I’d love to hear opinions!

help! I want a wedding dress!
For one thing, I should be happy, for my wedding day is coming! For another, I even have no mood to think about it especially when I see wedding dresses in front of me. It is worse, isn’t it? Ironically, a forthcoming day makes me in bad mood, and you will never imagine what that day means to me. But right now, I only want to say that, my wedding day comes nearer, but I got no wedding dress!
I hadn’t planned on wedding alterations costs! Why were measurements taken for my wedding dress? I thought my dress was being made to my measurements. What happened? I just need a dress which suits on me, but no one is ready for me!
I chose one dress in my terrible experience, I should have be happy, but the size was not okay. And what’s worse, no one likes to fix it for me. The cost for the alterations is even higher than the dress! It is so unbelievable! I know, it will be not so romantic to be mean with my wedding day, but I do not want to be treated like an idiot!
