How to Be the Best Bridal Party 2016

Being asked to be a bridesmaid or a groomsman is one of the highest honors given to a friend. Yes, it is a lot of work and sometimes it isn’t fun but when your friend asks you to stand with them while they take this huge step in their lives, you do it… and you do it without any complaints. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the way things go.

As a wedding planner, I am constantly observing people. It is my job to not only put out fires but to also anticipate the next move of the couple, guests, bridal party and vendors. There aren’t a lot of things that are more annoying than a bridesmaid running to the bride about a problem at the wedding. From their feet hurting to not liking the menu, I’ve seen it all. Here are some tips to guide you down the road to being the best bridal party:

1. If you see a problem, don’t go to the bride about it. I had a wedding recently where the florist was all over the place. Despite adding an extra hour to their arrival time, they were still late. I had already been on the phone with them checking their estimated arrival time while contacting another florist just in case. Two of the bridesmaids wandered into the ballroom and noticed that there weren’t any flowers out. Soon after they left, I got a frantic call from the bride, worried about her flowers. All that did was freak the bride out for no reason. As her wedding planner, it is my job to extinguish any and all fires. Let your friend live in wedded oblivion for the day, please.

2. Be as self-sufficient as possible. If you are meeting the bride in her hotel room to get your hair and makeup done, it shouldn’t be her job to figure out your parking and transportation situation. Parking at a hotel can be a bit costly. After paying for your dress, shoes, earrings, showers, parties, etc., the last thing you want to do is have to pay to park your car so that you can pay to get your makeup done. I get it but the bride and groom shouldn’t have to be concerned with your logistics on the day.

3. Grin and bear it. When asked to be a member of a bridal party, be prepared to perform tasks that you don’t necessarily want to. You might be asked to tie tiny ribbons onto 400 mini champagne bottles or help the groom transport random items to the venue. Whatever you’re asked, no matter how absurd or tedious the task may seem, just do it and do it with a smile.

I can go on and on about ugly bridesmaid dresses and uncomfortable groomsmen shoes that you’ll never wear again. It just comes with the bridal party territory. Unless you plan on not being in the wedding, do what the couple asks you to do. Remember, they asked you to stand with them for a reason.

4. Follow instructions. Can we talk wedding rehearsals for a second? The whole point of a rehearsal is to make everyone comfortable with how they’ll be walking down the aisle, who they’ll be walking with and where they’ll be standing during the ceremony. Often times, the rehearsal is like a mini reunion. Maybe you haven’t seen each other in years, maybe you have. Give each other a hug and get in line. Not only is it frustrating when people are talking while the planner is giving instructions, it’s also rude. The faster you listen, the faster you can finish the rehearsal and get to the real party.

5. Be honest. It’s expensive being in a wedding. The purchase of the dress, the rental of the tux, things add up quickly. If you can’t afford to be in the wedding, be honest with the bride and groom and bow out gracefully. You shouldn’t have to decide whether to pay your rent or buy your dress.

The styling

Apart from wear kimonos and dresses Oriental airs, among other items, supplements are also helpful to wear this styling. One of the keys are bags, having to choose those that are handheld and they are printed, giving presence to the lotus flower, which is one of the main symbols of this culture.

Also they can not miss the shoes in which several trends come together. On the one hand, one of the star models are minimalist sandals, carrying a flat platform and are preferably white or black color. The foot is secured only with a strip in the area of ​​the fingers and over the ankle.

The other option is to incorporate some models also with floral embroidery, choosing in this case wide heel sandals or slippers few models to style.

Another top of this style are the details of rhinestones. Do not forget your culture, yet traditional, it has also become in recent years a very sophisticated touch. So bet on this type of ornaments in bags, earrings, necklaces, brooches, belts … and even in the tissues of the clothes you shine.

The fringes are another trend that can be incorporated with tassels hanging, for example, of a clutch. And do not forget a fan to keep the whole mystery as a true geisha.

Fashion Ideas for Independence Day

So the 4th of July is almost here which means the nations remembrance of Independence Day will be marked with fireworks, barbecues, picnics, family reunions but for some of us it also means fashion combinations of red, white and blue.

But what if you didn’t get that US flag T-shirt that was on sale or that stars and stripe pair of shorts that is now sold out?

Look at the calendar! Only a week left to order something and there is nothing left! OH, this can’t be happening! What to do?

Calm down, we are here to help. A few simple ideas can go a long way to fill in those last minute needs for that beach party or bond fire you are going to without feeling out of place.

US Flag Sunglasses 
No matter what you wear a pair of US flag sunglasses always makes a great 4th of July accessory along with giving you the freedom to open up the rest of your outfit to other options. There are several different brands and styles of US Flag sunglasses such as round, oval, heart shape, glitter, metal frame, plastic frame and even peace symbol ones so it really is up to you to select which one works for you.

Wear a white top with blue bottoms or a blue top with white bottom. 
OK, this may sound over done but that is because it works! You knock out two of the three colors in one shot, but I know you are thinking, ‘I really didn’t need to read this to figure this out’. Maybe you did, because every time someone says white top it quickly translates to ‘White T-shirt’ and blue bottom to ‘Blue shorts’. Did you stop for a moment and think about switching the colors around if you wanted to be noticed at a party? Remember, the flag is red, white and blue so unless you actually have the flag pattern on your clothes what you need to do is make sure you have all 3 colors on you. So a Blue top with white bottoms kind of covers that without breaking any rules, looks cute and makes sure you stand out of the crowd. Well you could be one of 20 other girls with the white t-shirts and blue denim shorts at that party or you can be that one girl with the cute blue denim shirt and the white denim shorts, it really is up to you.

Use Red Accessories 
If you concentrate the use of red to your accessories while allowing white and blue to dominate your clothing you will find it will free up your options. Having red nail polish, red handbag, a red hat, red scarf, red hair pieces, red jewelry, red shoes, or any other red accessories can make a big difference in your outfit while spreading out your patriotic sense of fashion. So what are you waiting for? Make up for lost time and get something together for the 4th of July right now.
