Tip of the Day: Wood décor items are gorgeous at spring weddings, especially when they’re paired with light-colored lanterns and just a few delicate spring flowers matched to the color of the lanterns. That makes the wood element stand out, and beautiful stenciling on the wood can say anything you wish, from a welcome to your wedding to party directionals, like ‘Ceremony This Way’ with an arrow. (Eco-friendly brides like to have their signs made using re-purposed wood!)

A Harry Potter Wedding Proposal

Harry Potter fans, you're going to love this sweet proposal story! 

After meeting and falling in love in college, Jaquie, a Harry Potter fanatic, introduced Rachel to the wonderful wizarding world through endless movie marathons. When Rachel decided to propose, she knew she wanted to incorporate Jaquie's love of Harry Potter in the proposal. She came up with the idea to present Jaquie with a Quidditch set, where the Golden Snitch would open to reveal the engagement ring. Anthony Albano of CustomMade (remember the epic Star Wars engagement ring they created?) brought her vision to life by designing the incredible Quidditch set! Rachel even set up an indoor Quidditch pitch, complete with hooped goal posts.

What to Look For in a Mermaid Wedding Gown

mermaid gownsLooking for the ideal dress to show off your voluptuous hourglass figure? Consider the mermaid gown — the ideal dress for curves! When selecting a mermaid, take note where the skirt fans out; for a flattering fit, it should fan out at least four inches below the largest part of your hips. Also, look for internal corsets or corset boning in your dress to ensure the look of a small dainty waist (so important to the hourglass shape). 

I also like to consider the fabric when choosing a mermaid. Watch how it clings or bunches when you walk; you want a flexible fabric that will move with you and your curves. Lastly, when getting a mermaid altered, wear the undergarments you will be wearing the big day. If you plan to wear Spanx, wear them to the fitting. You don't want your dress loose around your hips or waist on your big day. Here a few of my favorite mermaids from Enzoani, Vera Wang, and Saison Blanche.
