Make sure you know all of your duties as the Groom!

10 May | No comments

Weddings and wedding planning are too frequently associated with the bride – and while this may draw its roots in an archaic patriarchal society, it surely has no place in a world where women can choose to be rulers and men can choose to be stay-at-home-dads.

As the groom, you know the Big Day is just as important for you as it is for your lovely bride-to-be. What are some of your duties for this special event, though? Here are some things you should definitely keep in mind:

• Listen. She is very stressed out and she needs to know you are listening – even when you don’t understand exactly what “chiffon”, “mint green” and “blush peonies” are. Listen to her, be her friend, her confident and, more than anything, her sounding board when it comes to planning this huge event in your lives.

• Share your opinion. When she asks you for your opinion, she really needs to hear you saying it out loud. She wants you to be just as happy as she is with the wedding-related choices, so you should make sure to truly communicate with her.

• Don’t be indifferent. Sooner or later, there will be something you might want to include in the Big Day – and if you haven’t actively participated in making the decisions until now, it may come as hurtful or unexpected for the bride. Communicate with your fiancé, tell her about your honest opinions and say when you want something to be in the wedding. No matter how much she loves you, she will never be able to read your mind.

Make sure your guests thoroughly enjoy your wedding cocktail hour!

03 May | No comments

Although not a very old tradition, the cocktail hour has become so common among couples getting married that it is almost surprising not to have one at your wedding. And while a cocktail hour may be the perfect opportunity for you and your spouse to disappear and shoot some photos, it should also be really entertaining and fun for your guests too.

How to make sure your guests thoroughly enjoy your wedding cocktail hour? We have some tips you might want to keep in mind:

• The drinks. The best way to surprise your guests at the cocktail hour is by serving them with a delicious signature drink created especially for this moment. Also, having an open bar and serving non-alcoholic options are both extremely good ideas you should consider.
• The food. You don’t have to serve anything too fancy or too expensive at the cocktail hour. However, the passed hors d’oeuvres you serve now should be really tasty and they should increase guest’s anticipation for the upcoming reception. That doesn’t mean you can’t serve anything sweet at the cocktail hour, though. On the contrary! A delicious seasonal fruit tart will open everyone’s appetite for the big dinner!
• The music. Don’t leave your guests in silence. Regardless of whether you choose to work with a band or a DJ, you should make sure to create a relaxing and positive playlist for the cocktail hour too.
• The entertainment. Want to make sure people are having fun? Provide them with some simple games (board games, outdoor games or “ice breakers”) and they will surely love the idea!
• The seats. Just because this is a cocktail hour doesn’t mean your guests should simply stand and walk around. Provide them with some comfortable lounge seats and they will be sure to thank you!

Can you have a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen?

26 Apr | No comments

Your bridesmaids and groomsmen are more than important to you. They are your best friends, your closest relatives and the people whom you have chosen to be there for you as you walk down the aisle, spell out the big “I Do” and party along with everyone else.

Naturally, you want everything about your bridesmaids and groomsmen to be perfect. Does that include an even number on each side, though? Can you have a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen? We have some tips you might want to keep in mind – so read on and find out more.

Yes, you can definitely have a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen. And the reason you can do this is very simple, actually: you don’t have to feel obliged to add an “extra” to your side of the wedding party just because your future spouse has done it.

• In fact, having a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen should pose no problem whatsoever. If you are worried that doing this will look odd in the pictures, think again: this is a wonderful opportunity to pull off some really creative and fun photos with your wedding party!

• Furthermore, walking down the aisle shouldn’t be an issue either. Simply match one or two of the bridesmaids with a groomsman on each side (or the other way around) and everything will be just fine.

• Last, but definitely not least, you don’t have to worry about the way this will look during the ceremony either. Simply add chairs at the altar so that the wedding party can sit or arrange them in a way that makes it less obvious they are not equal (of course, if this is something that you want – if not, nobody will mind that you have 5 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen standing at the altar with you and your future spouse).

Your wedding dress should be gorgeous, so choose wisely!

19 Apr | No comments

Your wedding dress is not just another outfit you wear. It is the gown you will wear on the most special day of your life – so you really want to make sure everything about it is perfect. To choose a dress that goes with the surroundings and makes you feel comfortable, it is very important to think of the season you will get married – but how do you do that?

We have gathered some tips for you to keep in mind – read on and find out more.

• Winter. Are you a winter bride? We suggest you settle on a heavier fabric – such as silk or taffeta. Also, don’t be afraid to go overboard with the dress’ design – this season calls for opulence, so search for a dress that comes in a very bright shade of white and is decorated with stunning embellishments.
• Spring. This season is a time of revival and high-energy, so your dress should speak to that. Think of a wedding gown made from a lightweight fabric (such as tulle) and with an airy vibe to it. Bateau necklines, discrete wedding belts and embellishments, A-line and ballgown-cut dresses – these are some of spring’s favorites.
• Summer. With the hot weather outside, you need a dress that will keep you stylish, fabulous and comfortably cool too. We suggest you settle for a low-back halter top dress or for a shorter cocktail dress embellished with lace and embroidery – it will look amazing in the summer vibes!
• Fall. This romantic season calls for a celebration full of warm hues and stylish luxury – so a ballgown dress with gold accents and rich embellishments will work fabulously. Furthermore, you could also settle on a dress that overlays different fabrics (such as lace and tulle) to add a romantic touch to your wedding look.

Do you know how to incorporate that “something blue” into your wedding?

11 Apr | No comments

Your wedding is the beginning of the rest of your life – and although you may not be superstitious, following the traditional “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” custom may be a fun way to add just a bit of “good luck” to your big day.

So, how do you incorporate “something blue” in a truly unique and creative way? We have gathered some ideas to inspire you – so read on and find out more.

• Underneath your dress. You don’t have to wear your “something blue” in plain sight if you don’t want to. Sew a little blue heart underneath your dress or “hide” a blue ribbon for a mysterious and beautiful touch. Also, wearing a blue garter or blue underwear are both perfectly acceptable options.
• Accessories. Add just a bit of blue to your wedding look by wearing blue accessories. A gorgeous necklace with blue details, a pair of blue shoes or even a blue wrap for your bridal bouquet can all look really amazing.
• Manicure. Want just a delicate touch of blue? Get a blue manicure done and it will look really unique! You don’t have to wear blue on all your nails – you can always find a very sophisticated and subtle way of adding blue to your wedding day manicure.
• Wedding vows. Write your wedding vows on blue paper for an extra dash of sentimentalism and beauty. What better way to bring good luck into your future marriage than by vowing to truly take care of each other?
• Bridesmaids. You don’t have to wear something blue on yourself. In fact, you can actually have your bridesmaids be your “something blue” too. This works amazingly well with weddings that have blue in their wedding color scheme too.
