Selecting A Bridal Gown For Your Body Type
Choosing your bridal gown is one of the most important fashion decisions you will ever make as every brides wanna look their best on their special day. It is hard enough to find that perfect gown for your wedding day, but to add to the frustration you must find something that works with your body type so that you will not only look amazing, but feel comfortable in. Brides come in all different shapes and sizes so we must choose a gown accordingly that will be flattering to our specific shape. The following are examples of body shapes and gowns that work according those figures.
1) Pear shaped - The pear shaped figure is a figure that is smaller at the top and fuller at the bottom, hence in the shape of a pear. (go figure!) A full ball gown is always a great choice with an accented waistline because it will minimize the hips and bring focus to the smaller upper bodice. This can be a gown that has pleats (including box pleats). A pear-shaped bride should stay away from sheath gowns (a gown that is straight up and down) as the fuller bottom will be pronounced in such a style .
2) Broad Shouldered brides should choose a gown that has spaghetti straps or a scoop neckline which to the eye shortens the width of the shoulders. An elongated bodice with a dropped waist also elongates the bodice and narrows the shoulders. Broad shouldered brides should stay away from oversized sleeves or off the shoulder sleeves with ruffles or accents. Think less is more when it comes to accents on the shoulders.

3) Short/Petite brides should stay away from gowns that are "too much" meaning gowns with too much fabric that "swallow up the bride." Full ball gowns with many pleats usually do not work well with petite brides. Modified A-line or Princess A-line with natural waistlines gowns are great choices for petite brides. Dropped waistlines tend to make short brides look shorter.
4) Tall/thin brides look great in sheath gowns which are gowns that are straight up and down. This will show off the figure and make a bride seem thinner than for example a very tall girl in a huge ball gown. Tall/thin brides are usually the only ones that can pull off such a gown so show it off if you can ladies!
5) Hourglass figure are brides that have curves like an hourglass. An A-line (modified or princess) gown with a dropped waist works the best with hourglass figures. It shows off the figure while accenting the appropriate areas of the body. Also, a sweetheart neckline will accent the bodice if it covers enough of the full bustline.
6) Thick waisted brides look the best in empire gowns which are gowns that have a high waistline. Empire waistlines are usually right below the bustline and gradually fade to an A-line skirt. Thick waisted brides should stay away from natural waistline gowns that emphasize the waist.
Best of luck gown hunting! Remember always choose something that you feel most comfortable in and never be persuaded to buy something you do not want!
How To Make Your Own Veil

How To Make Your Own Veil
The Lengths - Although there are slight variations, here are the standard measurements for veils:
to Shoulder -> 18"
to Blusher/Elbow -> 24"
to Waist -> 30"-36"
to Fingertip -> 40"-45"
to Knee -> 54"
to Chapel/Floor -> 60"-72"
Cathedral -> 144"
*But if you are doing it yourself, the best plan is to simply measure where you want it to fall on you and create your own custom length.
Materials:
1) Fabric - Tulle, organza, chiffon, silk, etc. Length is up to you! Measure the length from where on your head it will attach down to where you'd like it to fall.
2) Thread - Select thread that matches the color of your veil or use silver metallic thread if your edging will be silver metallic.
3) Comb - Any plastic comb will do, but clear/transparent is probably the best color.
4) Trims - For examples, crystal beads, pearl colored beads, sequins, ready made trims, satin cording and ribbon. Any trim that is ready made will be faster than sewing on individal beads or sequins when making a bridal veil.
Instructions:
Once you have the piece of fabric cut to desired length and width you will need to sew on your trim. Some fabrics actually do not need trim as they won't unravel, but most look best trimmed. You will only need to trim three sides of the veil since the top of the veil will be sewn onto your comb. Fold over the edge of the veil and add your trim to the three sides using a needle and thread. The trim shown is white satin cord.
Before trimming, you may want to round out the bottom edges of the veil. Place a CD disc on the corner and trace the round contour and then cut the rounded corner with scissors. This is optional.To attach the trimmed veil to the comb, find the center of the top edge of your veil and sew it onto the center of your comb. Bunch up the veil and continue to sew it onto the comb. Make sure you sew it onto the outside of the comb, the convex (rounded out) side.
Finish making your bridal veil by adding matching trim or beads to the top of the sewn on part of your comb. This will cover up any visible stitches.
Always a good idea to have someone help you with your veil. I advise that even with a comb, a few bobby pins should be used to secure the veil in place.
So get yourself to a fabric store and start looking for veil fabric and trims so you can start making a bridal veil!

How To Transform Normal Bags Into Bridal Handbags

How To Transform Normal Bags Into Bridal Handbags
1) Buy a long, rectangular bag.
2) Remove the straps and any other embellishments.
3) Get a nice hair clip or brooch and attach it to the bag, and there you have it! An elegant evening bag!
4) Sew a piece of organza material over the original bag. This will create a two-toned effect with the original colour peeping out through the organza.
*To disguise holes after removing buckles or embellishments, cover up with a strip of ribbon glue on a ribbon bow and/or add faux jewellery pieces.
Post-wedding*
Change the clip or brooch to something less bridal or make a long strap from a thick strip of ribbon for a more casual look. Replace the cream ribbon and bow with black satin ribbons for a classy, black and white look.
