The wedding day is one of the most critical days in a woman’s life. Even little children have an idea of how they want to look like when they walk down the aisle. For engaged women and soon-to-be brides, conceptualising and preparing for their overall look on their big day can be stressful and daunting.

You naturally want to be the brightest star in your wedding and to be one, you should look stunning. Your physical attributes should be accentuated, but your style should be a priority too. Here are three essential tips to walk down the aisle in style.

1. Choose your perfect wedding dress first

There is no one-style-fits-all wedding dress. Every woman responds differently to various cuts and styles because each has their preferences. The most important aspect of styling on your wedding day is your dress. It is wise to choose the wedding dress first before thinking about ways to complement it.

Your wedding dress should be the hero of the day, and it is essential to choose one that you feel radiant in. Consider different styles and finish before settling for one. Most brides think that they want one specific style but end up choosing a dress of an entirely different design.

2. Go for understated elegance

Your wedding dress should shine and not be overpowered by your accessories. When choosing bridal jewellery, go for pieces that would not upstage your dress. Professional Hatton Garden jewellers can recommend accessories that are best for you. The most common advice of Hatton Garden jewellers is for brides to opt for timeless classics that lend understated elegance.

3. Think long term

While your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life, you should not anchor all the elements of your bridal get up on it. When choosing bridal jewellery, seriously consider pieces that you can return to again and again. It is always a wise decision to go for items that you can use on more than one occasion.

Preparing for your wedding day should be enjoyable, not stressful. Be the brightest star when you say “I Do” by following these three essential wedding style tips.

Walking down the aisle is one of the most beautiful moments in a girl’s life, but preparing for the big day can be tiring and nerve-racking. Looking for affordable caterers, dresses, flowers and wedding rentals in St. Paul, Minnesota can be overwhelming, not to mention expensive. It might make you wonder why you even have to bother with all these little details anyway. Well, take a break from it all for a bit and amuse yourself with these tidbits of trivia about the wedding traditions you love and hate.

Bouquets against Evil

The bouquets brides carry nowadays are gorgeous, and you want yours to be perfect, too. But, did you know that it’s more than just a pretty accessory for the bridal outfit? Brides originally carried bouquets to ward off evil, but they made them with herbs like garlic and dill, which gave off strong smells that they believed could drive away evil spirits.

Stay Clean for your Wedding

Back in the day, people didn’t bathe too often, and this rare cleansing typically happened in May. So if you got married in June, you’d still smell relatively nice. Hard to believe, isn’t it?

Statement Dresses

Brides didn’t always wear white to the ceremony. In fact, they often put on their best dresses – no matter the color. It was actually Queen Victoria who broke the trend of wearing red wedding gowns by walking down the aisle in white silk-satin.

Protector Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids used to dress like the bride to confuse evil spirits. It was not until people’s fear of evil spirits subsided that the dress, veil and bouquet became unique to the bride.

A lot of the traditions in weddings nowadays show extravagance and beauty, but they have superstitious roots, too. These bits and pieces of history will make you see weddings in a whole new light!

Are you trying to figure out what quirky way to spice up your wedding? Here’s an idea: popcorn bars. Yup, you read that right. As novel as it is, popcorn bars have become a hit at weddings, dominating Pinterest boards and ideas recently.

Of course, most people are used to popcorn and soda when watching their favorite movie at home or the cinema. But weddings? Novelty is, therefore, the extra spice in this growing trend. To add to that, the actual flavors — salty, sweet, spicy and savory — have guests eagerly anticipate these low-calorie treats. Adults and kids love popcorn almost equally, especially when it comes to popular gourmet toppings and seasonings such as peanuts, chocolate chips, cheddar, and chili lime powder. If you have now been convinced to consider ordering bulk popcorn for your wedding, here are some things to keep in mind:

Quantity of Popcorn

Popcorn is usually bought by the gallon. The quantity you decide to reserve needs to match the number of your guests. As a rule of thumb, calculation allows for 32 single-cup servings from a two-gallon bulk bag of popcorn. So, for a wedding reception of three hundred guests, you’ll need twenty gallons.

How Much Serving per Guest

Containers vary from one occasion to another. Some wedding receptions may serve “cinema-sized” packs while others serve less.

Popcorn Bar Design Theme

There are many wedding popcorn bar themes to choose from. The idea is always to match the overall theme of the wedding reception itself. Thus, for vintage style wedding venue themes, the popcorn bars could feature a wood-motif bar.

There you have it. These ideas should help you hold the most unique wedding your family and friends have gone to. Do it. Making the wedding more memorable never hurt anyone.
