5 Budget Tips To Cut The Cost Of Your wedding Day

Want to have the wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank? There are plenty of ways to save. Here are five basic wedding budget tips to get you thinking.
1) Reception Time
The best way to help your wedding budget? Be mindful of your venue and the time. Pick a morning brunch, afternoon party or cocktail soiree instead. It’s likely that guests will consume less alcohol if the occasion is during the day. If you’re set on an evening event, try a buffet or family style meal where the cost per plate isn’t as high as a plated sit-down dinner.


2) Alternative Season
June through September is peak season for weddings in Canada, so consider a celebration in the off-season to save — just make sure it doesn’t conflict with holiday party season. Get inspiring ideas from our slideshow on weddings by month.


3) Package Deals
Find a venue that will do everything for you instead of hiring separate services that could add up with charges and tips. And ensure to watch out for extra fees at venues, all those little extras can make you go over your wedding budget.

4) Discount Dresses
If you’re not into buying used or vintage, keep your ear to the ground for sample sales and trunk shows where you can save up to 70 percent on fashion discount wedding gowns by subscribing to designer and boutique mailing lists.


5) Budget Priorities
The most important part about having a wedding budget is sticking to it! If there are things you must have then put those at the top of your priority list and save on other aspects.

How to know you choose the right wedding dress ?



For some, finding their wedding dress is love at first sight, and for others, it's a whole lot of trying on duds to finally find the one. But no matter how long it takes to find the wedding gown of your dreams or how many places you have to go, you know you've made the right decision when everything on the below list rings true to you.

You can't stop Googling images of it. 
Or staring at photos of yourself trying it on at the salon (um, guilty as charged!). You get giddy all over again like you just saw it for the first time. It's simply too perfect, and it's definitely the one.
It's all you can do not to show everyone. 
It's that good! You wanted to keep your wedding dress a surprise, but you're practically bursting at the seams to show all your girlfriends how amazing it is. Okay, so maybe you've already shown a handful of them...that's cool, right?
Strangers are literally oohing and ahhing over you. 
If you're at your dress fitting and random people stop what they're doing to compliment you and your gorgeous gown, you know you've totally nailed it. Go ahead and give yourself a high five.

It feels like you belong on the red carpet every time you put it on. 
On your wedding day you should absolutely feel like a celebrity. After all, you are the star of the show! Any dress that instantly ups your confidence and makes you look, and most importantly feel, like a million bucks is a big winner in our eyes.
You can't help but think how hot your hubby-to-be is going to think you are.
Of course, you didn't choose the dress with only him in mind; you're just that sure of yourself in your own choice that you know there's no way he won't be into it. Imagining his reaction makes you smile from the inside out.
You're understandably annoyed at the thought of not being able to wear it again.
So you've already started to dream up potential scenarios in your head where rocking a wedding dress would make complete sense. Perhaps you can incorporate it into a future Halloween costume. That's not weird, is it?

You love your body in it (and that's no easy feat). 
In fact, you're pretty confident you could give the girl modeling it a run for her money. Your curves look
 that killer.
No other wedding dress even comes close in comparison. 
When you're browsing Pinterest and checking out real weddings online, you're all like, "Yeah, that dress is pretty and all, but mine is way better, ha!" Not to rub it in or anything...
It's actually within your budget.
Fist pump, happy dance, heck yes! If you can afford it, love it and never want to take it off (um, like ever), well then, you've definitely met your match.

5 emergency items you needs on hold for your big party


Throwing a bachelorette bash is an excellent way to de-stress and reenergize before the big day, but between toasting to your last night as a single woman too many times and running out of $1 bills at a certain sort of entertainment establishment, any number of things can go haywire during the fête. The solution is to be prepared for any scenario, and the key to preparation is an emergency kit. Whether you're planning a relaxing afternoon at the spa, a rigorous ropes course bonding exercise, or a trip to the local club to let loose, every bride needs a handful of key items on hand in case of crisis. Jove Meyer, owner and creative director of the lauded Brooklyn-based company Jove Meyer Events, and Rachal Smith Zembrycki of New Orleans and Nashville-based bachelorette party-planning company Bach Weekend offer their thoughts on exactly what crucial items to pack for an epic — and safe — bachelorette party experience.

1. Transportation company phone numbers
Zembrycki recommends that brides distribute the phone numbers of local transportation companies to each member of the party, lest attendees become stranded after a late night of carousing. "Before going out everyone should have the phone numbers for local cab services," she advises. In addition, "Pre-plan a meeting spot incase the group gets split up," Zembrycki suggests. There are usually one or more members of the bachelorette party who enjoy cheekily branching off from the prescribed plan. http://www.bellasdress.com/sexy-wedding-dresses-li65885/8/
2. Fashion emergency accoutrements
Not all bachelorette party crises are health-related, Meyer reminds brides. In case of a fashion emergency, Meyer proposes carrying a lint roller, a Tide pen, fashion tape, safety pins, deodorant removing sponge, scissors, baby wipes and extra undies.

3. Refreshments and snacks
Bachelorette parties are usually synonymous with drinking, and the last thing brides need is a group of highly inebriated pals painting the town red after imbibing on an empty stomach. "If the group is staying overnight in a hotel, bottled water and some snacks are a must. Always keep some food in your stomach and stay well hydrated!" Zembrycki insists.
4. Electronics essentials
Ensuring that your iPhone has a full battery may not be a top priority at your bachelorette party — but it should be. Make sure to stash your phone charger in your bag before dashing out the door. "Somehow phones die at the most important moments!" Meyer reminds brides.

5. First aid basics
Meyer advocates carrying first aid necessities for any bachelorette bumps or bruises that may occur during the revelry. His favorites to have on hand include Benyadryl, Tums, cough drops and blister defense. Zembrycki agrees, explaining, "Many brides don't realize they need to be almost as prepared for the bachelorette party as they are for their weddings."

So here are seven date ideas to help you take advantage of the season and that won't detract from your wedding planning — we promise!  sexy evening gowns at bellasdress 

1. Take dance lessons outdoors 
More and more, companies are bringing their dance lessons to the great outdoors, hosting free or for-a-small-fee sessions at botanical gardens and river and lakeside parks. So twirl along with a two-hour class and take notes for when you're waltzing across on an entirely different dance floor.
2. Tackle a triathlon of outdoor activities 
Slate a few hours for an outdoor competition, where you bike ride, swim, or run our way to a fitter body. Not only does a little competition make sparks fly between you two, but working out will help you both get in shape for your big day.
3. Visit a vineyard 
Walk through rows of vines and just-budding grapes, then settle in for a wine tasting. Take notes; you may just find the perfect vintage to serve during your wedding toasts.

4. Take a class at a local nursery 
Learn about the flowers you want most for your big day, then duck into an onsite café for a bite amongst the blooms.
5. Go shopping — at a yard sale 
Summer is the time for neighborhood sales, where you can score one-of-a-kind finds for your wedding décor or new home. See who can bargain their way to the best deal for additional fun.
6. Snap photos in the sun 
Play photographer for a day, taking photos of one another as you walk through your city's streets, parks, or other outdoor areas. You'll enjoy gazing at one another all day, plus it's great practice for when you're standing in front of your wedding photographer!

7. Taste your way through a farmer's market 
You have to go grocery shopping anyway, so why not head to an outdoor farmer's market where vendors are generous with samples of berries, baked goods and more. Who knows? You could discover the perfectedible favors you'll soon give to your guests.

My View on Following the Fashion


Nowadays more and more young people prefer to follow the fashion. On this phenomenon, different people have different views. It is held that one should follow the fashion so as not to be despised or considered eccentric. But it is also held that one should have one's own judgment. Bellasdress.com


Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progressing and one should adapt oneself to the constant change. In their opinion, if everyone always sticks to the old fashion, there won't be any change and naturally there won't be progress. In contrast, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn't follow the fashion without discrimination and one should have one's own judgment and characteristics. As for me, I agree with the latter opinion.



Admittedly, one should be flexible and adapt himself to the situation, but this is not to say that one should follow the fashion without discrimination because the fashion may not be beneficial.We should consider whether the fashion is favorable or unfavorable. Moreover, one should have one's own characteristics. If everyone follows the same fashion, there will not be variety and the whole society will be monotonous.

Here are tips for your summer wedding 2015


Wedding season is officially in full swing! With the gorgeous weather and seemingly endless hours of daylight, it's no surprise that the summer months are some of the most popular times of the year to say, "I do." But when the heat is on, hearts will melt, and unfortunately, so will other things. To be the absolute best summer wedding host you can be, we talked to a slew of expert wedding planners, who gave us the scoop on what they wish more summer brides would do. Get your notepads and pens out, ladies! Elegant wedding gowns

1. Order extra boutonnieres.
"The heat is tough on cut flowers. With all those big-loving hugs, a lapel receives a lot of action, and the summer suffers. Add an extra one or two to your floral order just in case they get squished or wilt before walking down the aisle." — Viva Max Kaley, NYC-based wedding planner and creator of Viva Max Weddings
2. Prepare for the weather.
"Just because it's summer doesn't mean the weather will hold out so I definitely advise having tents or a tent on standby. Also, it would be great if more outdoor brides had small bottles of sunscreen and parasols handy for guests. No one wants to get burnt during your ceremony." — Sofia Crookes, celebrity wedding planner and owner of Sofia Crookes Events

3. Use the weather to your advantage.
"I wish brides would put a little more thought into the wedding start time. For example, a reception that begins around sunset will give you and your guests that warm summer feeling, yet you can still enjoy an al fresco candlelit dinner, which I personally love." — Andrea Correlate, president of Elegant Affairs
4. Actually be on time.
"If you know that it's going to be a little warm at your ceremony, don't make your guests wait around an extra 30 minutes in the sun because the bride and her wedding party weren't ready to head down the aisle. You're better off not serving beverages before the ceremony since you end up with ugly cups and bottles in your wedding pictures. However, if you plan on putting your guests outside some place hot with nothing to drink, you'd darned well better be on time!" — Sandy Malone, owner of Weddings in Vieques
5. Reconsider formality
"For some reason, no matter how much I harp on my clients that it is hot and that they should maybe rethink their outfit or the formality of the day, they still want black tie. While the bride spends most of her time being pampered inside, she never experiences the heat and what the guests endure outside as they wait for the wedding to happen. To keep everyone happy and smiling, cover metal chairs, which are a conductor for heat, and hand out fans to guest as a takeaway item." — Brian Worley, celebrity event planner and co-founder of Your BASH!

6. Protect your wedding cake
"Buttercream is by far the best frosting option when it comes to standing up to the summertime heat, but even this yummy option can only endure so much. To prevent a full on wedding cake meltdown, ask your site's staff to store the cake in the refrigerator until you're ready to cut it. This will also keep mosquitos and gnats from attacking it. I've seen way too many cake photos ruined by these little critters!" — Andrea Freeman, celebrity wedding planner at Andrea Freeman Events
