Want to add a unique personal touch to your special day? How about creating your own wedding bouquet. There is always something special about creating an item yourself and using it on your wedding day. I feel it gives your ceremony and event a personal touch. This, of course, is not limited to creating your own wedding bouquet. You can design and create wedding favors; centerpieces and even sew or embellish your wedding dress. How cool would that be to create many of the items used on your own wedding day yourself? Just another YesBride money saving tip.

Fitting Into Your Wedding Dress

August 26th, 2010

Six months to the big day, and one, two,  three – panic!

 

No, it doesn’t have to be like that! It may be tempting to fling yourself into a crash diet, join a gym, buy brand new gym wear and flog yourself half to death on the treadmill, or even opt for the surgeon’s knife in an attempt to get into shape for that big day, but unless you have allowed yourself to develop seriously bad habits, it’s hardly essential.

 

Instead, with a generous six months to play with, there’s plenty of time to tone up. Start by taking a long hard look at your current diet and level of fitness. It may be that simply cutting out cigarettes and alcohol, or at least, cutting down, can make an enormous difference to the overall level of fitness. Worried about having bingo wings or a less than flat tummy? There’s still plenty of time to do a spot of toning and exercising to pep up those areas of the body that you may be less than proud of.

 

This doesn’t even need special equipment – doing arm curls with a bottle of water in each hand, or a series of sit ups and stomach flattening exercises can make big changes to your body shape with little real effort. In between booking the reception and choosing the bridesmaids, a few brisk walks in the fresh air really help to boost circulation and get that peaches and cream complexion. Try a deep muscle massage or a body wrap to improve the look of the skin – with no effort at all required on your part!

 

Do bear in mind, though, that making any kind of drastic changes to your body shape once you’ve chosen your dress will probably mean a few extra trips for additional dress fittings. Better, then, to tone up sooner rather than later, and you’ll walk down the aisle looking and feeling a million dollars.

This week’s “Wedding Wednesday” comes courtesy of super talented wedding photographer Yun Gen Yang. Yan takes us on an amazing photo journey of Katie and Alan’s Hartford Connecticut wedding taking place at the Society Room of Hartford. Judging from these photos, the Society Room seems like an amazing wedding venue. See for yourself.

What an amazing wedding dress. I love the stunning, detailed, flower pattern. I am trying to find out the designer name.

No wedding is complete without flowers. It’s amazing how well the bouquet colors match the wedding dress. Flowers by Jessica Robinson http://jesscountryflowers.com

 

3yang

Love those sling back shoes. Great color match with dress and flowers. Someone did her homework when picking these.

 

4yang

Time to meet the lovely bride Katie. All smiles on this day. Every bride deserves to be this happy on her special day.

 

5yang

What a perfect couple. Katie and Alan deserve one another.

Future husband and wife posing in an amazing venue. I love the way Katie is looking at Alan. The eyes tell a story.

 

7yang

Speaking of eyes, Katie is looking amazing here. I think her makeup is perfect. The dark eyeshadow is evident but not overdone.

 

8yang

What an amazing venue. This is the Society Room of Hartford. Learn more here: http://hartfordsocietyroom.com

Final prep before the walk down the aisle. Dress on, shoes on, garter being placed.

 

10yang

Bridesmaids with bride are all smiles. Very elegant bridesmaid dresses. Those dresses can be used for other occasions. I love it when a bridesmaid dress can be worn for more than just a wedding.

 

11yang

The entire wedding party looking great. The pose in this photo kind of reminds me of the beginning of “Family Feud” when the families are being introduced. You know, “Introducing the Smith family; ready for action!”

 

12yang

Father of the bride looking very happy and proud.

 

13yang

What a beautiful photo. The bride, dress, flowers, bridesmaids, decor, drapes and even carpet look amazing. Say, “I do.”

 

14yang

Only natural to get a little teary eyed and emotional at this point.

 

15yang

Interesting “winter” inspired wedding cake. The snowflakes give the cake a very unique look.

 

16yang

Take a look at this venue. Elegance is an understatement.

 

17yang

Even the table settings have an ultra elegant look.

 

18yang

Here come the newly married couple.

 

19yang

May I have this dance?

Finally, some sweet treats to be enjoyed. This wedding really did seem perfect. To see more amazing wedding photos taken by Yun Gen Yang please visit http://yangphoto.com
