How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner On Your Wedding Day

Check out this article we found:

Every bride wants to look her best for the wedding day, but with all the wedding planning to-dos, sometimes it's tough to stick as closely as you want to your workout regimen. Luckily, there are a few easy shortcuts you can take to look trim in your wedding dress without hitting the gym every day or driving yourself crazy with diet fads.

Flatter Your Figure

Though alterations will ensure your dress fits, choosing a wedding gown that shows off your best assets (and camouflages your less-than-fab spots) will make sure it flatters. Trying to hide your hips? Go with a romantic empire waist gown or a strapless, full-skirted style. Want to suck it all in? A corseted ball gown is a great option to show off your bust, whittle your waist, and hide hips and thighs. And if you want to show off your curves (or create some), try a mermaid-style gown. A good bet for every body type: an A-line silhouette, which fits at the bust and waist with a skirt that gently flares out from the hips.

Get a Good Support System

Undergarments that fit well are key to a sleek silhouette. To avoid the dreaded bra bulge and create the right amount of cleavage (nothing that will scandalize the grandmas!), get a professional bra fitting to be sure you're wearing the right size. Then, buy a few bras -- check the store's policy, but you can generally return them with the tags -- so you can try them on with your gown and find exactly the right one.

Wedding planning: Tips for getting the job done quickly, with less stress and on a budget

Check out this article:

The season for wedding planning is upon us.

Enter Pinterest, magazines, tastings and fittings. Crafting, dance lessons, frostings and meetings.

It's a time with a rhythm and excitement galore. Plan for hours on end and then plan some more. But collaborate with your fiancé — don't make it a power play.

Things are going so well with the florists and vendors. You've even got a few musical contenders.

And then, sometimes, it stops. The dream life you were briefly living—it felt poetic, even—suddenly becomes a harsh reality and life isn't all about wedding planning anymore.

In my case, it was job loss. My husband's entire department was eliminated unexpectedly about six weeks after we got engaged. A fresh college graduate, I hadn't yet found work.

We decided to apply for jobs all over the country: New York, Los Angeles, Portland. We didn't know when an offer would come or how quickly we'd have to move away from Atlanta. It was important to us to be married before we moved to a new city, so in July, a few weeks into wedding planning, we canceled all the arrangements we'd made for a December celebration.

We hatched a new plan for an August wedding.

We spent the next month juggling job searching and wedding planning. A few days before the wedding I got an official offer from The Oregonian. When we returned from our honeymoon, we packed our things and drove across the country.

We couldn't have been happier with the way our wedding turned out, but planning it was hard—really hard. Not just logistically, but emotionally.

December is the most popular month for engagements, according to a survey from XO Groups, which owns The Knot. Congratulations to those of you who got engaged during the holiday! Most of you will have nice, long engagements, with plenty of time for poetic planning fun.
