How to Add Color to Your Wedding Plans

White and black wedding themes are now a thing of the past.  Although still a traditional theme, many couples want to add color schemes to their plans.  Engaged couples are now taking control of their wedding plans and usually want to add personal touches to the overall look.  As one of the leading wedding planners in Los Angeles, I love this idea.  Click here to visit my website.

Weddings are an event of any size that celebrates love and life.  Many people see black and white as dull colors that do not reflect the overall wedding experience.  Don't get me wrong, black and white themes can be extremely elegant, but why not add some colored touches? Colored themes are now more common than black and white themes.  Even if you hire a wedding planner like myself to create a beautiful event for you, there is no harm in giving your wedding planner suggestions for a pop of color.  Is it your wedding after all.

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.
