Make sure your Spring wedding is in full bloom with these ideas:

Thankfully, Spring is here – and this means a full season of amazing weddings is right around the corner too. If you plan on having a Spring wedding too, you should definitely take note of the following ideas because they will make your wedding “bloom” with grace, splendor and positive vibes!

· Bouquet. Roses, peonies and hydrangeas are still very popular in the wedding world and they make for an extremely graceful and feminine choice. The best thing about them? They come under all colors of the Earth so you can have your bouquet in anything from plain white to pastels and very bright colors too. For your bridesmaids choose some pretty Easter-inspired flower baskets instead of the classic bouquets and you will definitely add a very Spring-like feeling to your wedding!

· Décor. For your centerpieces, you can either go for the same flowers as the ones you chose for your bouquet or you can choose something that goes along the same colors. Spring flowers, peonies and roses make for wonderful arrangements – and they can be paired with herbals and even berries for a really unique effect. Furthermore, this year’s all about copper, gold and silver vases for the centerpieces so don’t forget to take those into consideration too.

· The clothes. If you want a Spring wedding dress that’s a bit non-traditional (and yet extremely elegant), go for a tea-length dress. Also, for your groom’s attire, simple suit made out of a light fabric and paired with a pastel-colored bow-tie will be a great choice.

· For the groomsmen, choose something that goes along the same ideas as the groom’s attire. As for the bridesmaids, choose light chiffon for their dresses’ fabric and allow them to pick their own favorite pastel color if you want to create an eclectic look in the photos.

What is a Designer Trunk Show and why should you attend?

The world of weddings is a marvelous, exciting and amazingly beautiful one. And yet, for someone who has just started his/her wedding planning process, the world of weddings can also be dazzling and confusing as well. For instance, many people out there do not know exactly what a designer trunk show is – or why they should attend it, for that matter. If that is the case for you as well, read on and find out more about this:

· Generally speaking, a trunk show a presentation used by manufacturers to show potential retailers their products. In the wedding industry (and most of the times in the fashion industry as well), customers’ experience is added as well – and this means that customers are invited to attend the trunk show, to see the products and to purchase them as well if they want to.

· Attending a trunk show is a great idea because it will provide you with the opportunity to see a designer’s entire collection. In most of the cases, retailers will select the dresses they want to sell in their store but they will not include the entire collection. By attending a trunk show you can see all the dresses and you can also purchase one if you see something you really love.

· If you decide to attend a trunk show, look out for the opportunities offered by various wedding gown boutiques. Most likely, you will have to make a reservation in order to be able to attend the show so make sure you do this (especially if the trunk show focuses on a designer you know you like).

Here are Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique, we can provide you with a superb array of wedding gowns and tuxedoes created by the world’s most famous designers. We organize trunk shows regularly too – so if you want to take a look at some fabulous wedding gowns or tuxedoes, come and visit our website’s “Events” section! 

Your bridal party has responsibilities, here is what they should be taking care of:

Being part of the bridal party is a great honor – but it also comes with responsibilities. If you want to make sure you assign the right tasks to your bridal (and wedding) party, check out with the following tips because they will definitely clear things out: 

· A Maid (or Matron) of Honor is usually the bride’s most reliable help both throughout the wedding planning process and throughout the actual wedding as well. She helps the bride with any planning tasks she may need help with, she helps the bride select the wedding gown, she coordinates the bridesmaids (and this includes bridesmaids’ dress fittings), she relays the requirements/questions the bridesmaids may have to the bride, and so on.

· Also, a Maid of Honor will help the bride dress up before the ceremony and she will accompany her. During the ceremony, the Maid of Honor will sign the marriage license, she will hold the bride’s bouquet and she will also arrange the bride’s veil. As for the ceremony, a Maid of Honor will usually organize the formal pictures with the bridesmaids, she will dance with the best man and she will also help the bride change her clothes before leaving for the honeymoon too.

· A Best Man’s duties are somewhat similar to those of a Maid of Honor’s. He will help the groom organize the other groomsmen (again, this includes formalwear fitting and other similar tasks), he will pick up the attire the groom wears on his wedding day, he will organize the toasts at the rehearsal dinner and he will help with whatever the groom needs help with.

· Furthermore, a Best Man will bring the bride’s ring, he will take care of the officiant’s fee after the ceremony and he will sign the marriage license too. Also, during the rehearsal, he is expected to have the same duties as the Maid of Honor and he is also the one who will give the first toast as well.

· Bridesmaids are generally coordinated by the Maid of Honor and they will help with the wedding planning tasks she may need help with (planning the bridal shower, for example). Also, if the bride requests it, bridesmaids can be part of the wedding dress shopping entourage and they may help her directly with other tasks as well. Bridesmaids walk down the aisle, they dance with groomsmen and they help with other tasks during the ceremony and reception too.

· As for the groomsmen, they generally follow the same “route” as the bridesmaids too. They attend fitting appointments, they help the Best Man plan the bachelor’s party and they also help him with other tasks as well. Before the ceremony, groomsmen usually help guests take their seat (and this means that they have to be there earlier too).
