3 Bridal Party Etiquette Rules You Should Definitely Keep in Mind

Your bridal party is very important to you – but do you know how to react in those situations that are less commonly encountered? Do you know what etiquette rules say about these kinds of situations? Following we have gathered some of the most useful tips when it comes to this – so read on if you want to find out more:

· If you are having a male “Maid” of Honor (which, yes, is more than allowed if you feel that this is the right choice), he will not have to plan the bridal shower all on his own (especially if he is not familiar with what this involves). Since your bridesmaids would have helped the Maid of Honor anyway, they will be able to help your “Man” of Honor too.

· You should pay for their hair and makeup if you want them to be done professionally. If you feel that this is really important to you, you should definitely make sure you are able to foot the bill as well. Keep in mind: your bridesmaids’ budgets may be tighter than yours and thus, they might find it difficult to keep up with all the expenses of their roles.

· If you want your bridal party to wear multi-colored dresses, remember to find something that brings them all together (one main color to inspire them, a certain type of fabric, a particular tone and so on). This will make all of them look really beautiful in the pictures and it will complement your wedding theme too.

Don’t let yourself get stressed during your wedding!

The invitations, the flowers, the dress, the food, the venue, the music, the photographer – there seems to be an endless list of things a bride and her groom have to take care of before the Big Day. However, you should not allow stress to overshadow the importance and the beauty of this day. How to do this? How to make sure stress doesn’t get you? Here are some helpful tips:

· Create a plan and stick to it. There’s nothing to shout “stress” more than chaotic wedding planning. Of course, you have to be flexible with your wedding planning, but making a plan and trying to stick to it as much as possible is something you simply have to do if you want to keep yourself sane for the Big Day.

· Acknowledge the fact that accidents can happen. Be prepared for them and take the completely unexpected ones in a relaxed way. Remember, this is a very beautiful day in your life no matter how cold it is outside, no matter how your flower arrangements turned out and no matter how your wedding cake looks. Enjoy the moment, be creative to find solutions to situations that are completely unexpected and don’t forget to “accessorize” yourself with a huge smile!

· Hiring a wedding planner can help. Even if it’s just for the day-of. He/she has a lot of experience when it comes to planning weddings, so he/she will do everything possible to keep things under control. This will help you have a wedding that’s absolutely perfect without too much hassle from your behalf.

How Far in Advance of My Wedding Should I Get My Gown?

Over the course of our lives, we choose many types of gowns: for our Sweet Sixteen birthdays, for a night out in town, for the great graduation prom and so on. And yet, none of these gowns is as important as the one we will wear on the most important day of our lives: our wedding.

Many brides prefer buying their dress well ahead of the wedding date. However, you may feel a bit confused as to just how far in advance you should do this. To help you out, we have put together a list of tips that will teach you some of the most important things you should know when it comes to when you should buy your wedding gown.

·         Generally speaking, most wedding planners will advise you to start searching (at least) for a gown about 9 months before the wedding date. However, keep in mind that this number can be smaller or larger according to what kind of dress you want, according to where you buy it from and according to your own preferences as well.

·         You should definitely not leave this up to the last moment. Some brides choose to do this because they want to shed off some extra-pounds before the big day, but forget to take into consideration how long it will take until the dress will be delivered to them from the moment they order it (sometimes, this can take up to 3 months or more).

·         Keep in mind that you will also want to have enough time for the potential alterations as well. Most brides require at least some basic alterations made to their gowns so remember to take this into consideration.

Here at Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique, we will make sure you are 100% satisfied with your wedding gown. With the huge collection of superb dresses we have in store for you and with the wonderful service we provide for each bride, you stand all chances of making a choice sooner than you even expect!
