The wedding gown is more than just a simple dress that is displayed by the bride. It is the considerable emblem of love, purity, and happiness that is awaiting the bride in her future with her groom. Preparing the wedding celebration is as important as finding the perfect wedding gown.

Here are pointers that could help people who may find choosing the perfect wedding gown difficult.

1. There are many resources available for choosing and designing your wedding gown.

Wedding magazines were the best resources where the bride-to-be could get some great ideas for choosing her wedding gown. Now with the internet, she can browse for more concepts and ideas of wedding gowns online. Many web sites will provide you with full details on most wedding gowns. You can be provided with prices,a variety styles, and fashion sense.

2.You must conform strictly to a budget.

Budget can not be absent in planning your wedding. Sticking to a budget is a common problem. Be sure to budget for your wedding gown. Do not be enticed with any special promotions offered by the person designing your gown. If you do not stick with your budget you will fall short on the other aspects of your wedding plans.

3. Every angle of your wedding gown should look great.

The back of the wedding gown is the most neglected part. Make sure you look good from behind When ordering your wedding gown. You must look good from behind because often the guests will have a look at your back.

4. The design you choose must be practical.

Large skirts and long gowns, although traditional,have become typical styles of the past. If the venue is small, wedding gowns like these are not at all practical, especially in today’s modern world. It can become stress and a real burden for the bride to carry a heavy dress throughout the wedding celebration. Having the bride comfortable in what she is wearing in whats most important.

5.Environmental condition of the venue of the wedding should be accounted for.

Consider the weather and the venue when choosing a wedding gown. This will have a great effect on the kind of fabric that should be worn by the bride. If the wedding takes place during the summer, it is best to choose the fabric for the wedding gown that will not make the bride uncomfortable and perspire throughout her special event.

It is important to provide much time preparing, designing, and ordering the wedding gown. Deliberating on the details of the wedding gown can be a stressful task. When planned correctly there will be plenty of time for any changes and modifications without being rushed. It is very important for the bride to consider her comfort when choosing a wedding gown. if the bride is not comfortable wearing it,looks and designs will only be put to waste.

You are what you wear, as the old cliché goes. Wear a wedding gown that will reflect the love and happiness that is within the bride. The wedding gown will then appear before the audience as the most beautiful centerpiece of the wedding.

How to choose a perfect wedding venue
You have found an excellent groom and bought that superb dress. You’re anticipating a flawless wedding. You now desire the perfect wedding venue. Choose wisely when finding a wedding venue. It is, after all, where you will share lasting memories with friends and relatives.

Here are some wonderful ideas for that perfect wedding venue.

Trust your intuition. When you arrive at a certain venue you will automatically have a certain reaction towards it. Trusting your instinct is important. If you have a good feeling about the venue then that’s a good start.You will know if a particular venue is right for you or not. You should not however leave out the logical choices in choosing a wedding venue. It will have to feel right because you and the man you love will exchange vows here.

Pace yourself. Don’t go rushing into choosing the perfect wedding venue. Having a wedding is one of the most important events in your life so you will want to make a wise decision. Try to start looking for a venue about a year before the wedding date if possible. You will then have enough time to make good decisions and alter the venue if something happens.

Think about the size. The venue size is vitally important in your decision. Pick a venue that is too tiny and it will be awkward and annoying. The wedding will loose its intimacy if the venue is too large. The number of guests will dictate the the size. You will need a rough idea of how many guests you will plan on inviting before looking for your wedding venue. Try to be as accurate as possible. Don’t just say I want to invite from 200 to 500 guests. Such a large difference in the number of guest would affect venue size.Remember to leave enough space for the dance area. The more guests you have, the bigger space you need to designate for the dance area.

Review the parking area. Many people who have attended weddings complain of limited parking space. Make sure your choice of wedding venue has generous space for all of your guests. Parking may be a minor consideration but it could be the key between a satisfied guest and a frustrated one.

Find out if there are any restrictions for the venue. There might be some type of noise restriction which would hinder your decision to hire a band and have a loud sound system. There are time restrictions on some venues while others let you have a great time all night long. There are even some with restrictions on decorations.
Ascertain whether the venue would allow you to bring your own florist, caterer, decorator, etc because some might have specific professionals and contractors they would like you to use.

Create a diagram of your wedding. Have a setup on paper or your mind before choosing a wedding venue. You have to know where each of the following will be located: reception area, dining area, and seating for guests, etc. Then review whether your venue fits the setup you have in mind.


Wish u all the best

All those "don't do it" respondents are just people who haven't yet been lucky enough to fall in love.

My advice is to have a wedding that's true to you. It's very difficult, and you'll have to be very strong not to listen to all those around you offering their opinions and making their demands for your day.

I, due to being overseas and due to never having visited the country I was getting married in, my husband's country, pretty much just let my mother-in-law organise the whole thing and, while she worked so hard and I appreciate that everything was done with the best intentions, I despised my wedding. There were many things that were against my beliefs and many things that were the polar opposite of the wedding I've always dreamed of. Don't make the same mistake I made. My husband and I have a fantastic marriage, but it really was a dreadful start to married life, and I'm not sure that all couples could overcome such a disaster.

It's a regret that I'll always live with.

Keep it really small, there'll be no stress and the whole occassion will be very personal and intimate. It will also be inexpensive. Our wedding in 1999 cost around £200.00 GBP, that included my fabulous dress, rings, ceremony and even the meal my new husband cooked on a campfire for us in the evening. It was the most perfect day of our lives and if we were doing it again there is not one thing about it that we would change. There isn't anything that could compare with it.

I've been training to be a wedding planner so if you have any specific questions just ask me!

The best tip I can give of the top of my head is plan everything!! And get as creative as possible! For my wedding we actually had a guy dress up like a chicken and come out to do the chicken dance and the hooky-poky... The kids loved it and so did the adults... No one will forget that!

Plan well ahead.
Write an itinerary of the day with a time line
delegate duties well in advance and have pre-wedding day meetings with your core group of organisers ie. you, fiance, bridesmaids, bestmen, mums.

Create a document with the names and numbers of important peeps on the day like bestmen, florist, photographer etc and distribute to your key organisers.

Get lots of sleep the night before the big day.
On the day just enjoy it come what may.
Good luck!

Yeah, don't get married. Save yourself a lot of money and mental torment by staying un-attached. Unless of course you want a visa for another country, which I imagine you do seeing as you're from Wales. That's the only good reason I can see for the farcical hypocrital union that we know as marriage. I might do it to get to Canada one day and leave stinking Britain. I know a few girls there that may help me. Have a lovely ceremony. Check the priest's record first too. There are some dodgy ones.

I got married 9 days ago in Sorrento, Italy, it was fantastic. The only tip I can give is don't worry about things, enjoy the day for what it is - the beginning of your marriage!

Sorry, I'm not usually flippant in my answers but simply ... YES ... DON'T!! :D

Sorry I can't leave it there so I'm editing - you say you want some tips? Tips on what? It's a little easier for people to help/answer if they have a little understanding of what it is exactly you want to know, don't you think?

BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET!!! Then stick to it like glue. Don't start your marriage deep in debt from having a wedding you couldn't afford. The wedding is for 1 day, but your marriage should last a lifetime. Best of luck to you.

Don't go psychotic. I'm not being funny, it's very easy. Just remember how happy you are with your spouse and chill out when you start to get stressed about the ceremony.
