I am attending a wedding in August and have just bought this dress. I would be really grateful if you could advise on what would be the best way to style my hair to suit this dress.

First of all V, your coral maxi dress is amazing!!! I am a huge fan of summer weddings and I think that it’s the perfect time to have the dream garden wedding party, despite the high temperatures that the month of August brings. Therefore this should also be reflected in the way you style your hair.

Forget tight, sleek, perfectly pulled hair-dos, as they are completely not applicable in the hot season. This also goes for straight hair, it will definitely get frizzy and you will feel like your hairstyle is getting “curly”.

Instead, try to think of volume and loose waves. I think it also depends on the length of your hair. If you have longer hair, I think the perfect choice would be to pull it up or back, or create a side hair-style.  Braids can also work and all those bohemian hairstyles.

Shorter hair can either be let loose and combed to a side - the side where you don’t have the ruffle.

I really like the hair-styles sported by Olivia Munn and Mila Kunis and that you can also accessorize your dress with a pair of amazing earrings, just perfect for the coral goddess dress that you have.

I think you all know how details become essential when putting together an outfit or en event. Even if you have all the major pieces, you need to finish everything with a nice touch. When thinking about an outfit, the details can be the accessories or hair and make-up. For a bigger event, such as a wedding, the details can include the buffet, the floral arrangements or the wedding invitations.

At other previous weddings where I helped my friends who were getting married with planning, I used to go with the bride to local wedding stationery stores and order the invitations, but we were never very pleased of the range of options they had. Some of them didn’t come in other colors or they were simply too classic.

So this year, another friend of mine is getting married and this time we have found the perfect stylish invitations. She has everything planned in a fancy yet minimalist design, so we were searching for a special invitation design as well. We found amazing options of wedding invitations by David’s Bridal!

I really like that they have a wide selection of which you can choose from, and lots of cool styles. The ribbon and the arty typography designs are so chic and you can customize their color as well.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have everything in the same place? Just think about it..

Stunning dresses and remarkable wedding attires, luxurious venues, bourgeois menus and mouth-watering wedding cakes….all these are mandatory when planning your dream wedding. Never has every detail been as important as now, as I really believe that you must know very well what you want and what you like. There are so many different options out there that can make you lose your head and your wallet but in the end all that matters is that you make this day the best of your life.

A good tip to make your life easier would be to stay connected to the biggest fairs and trade shows in your area and to make sure you get an accurate image of the services and options that are out there. The Wedding Salon is a very good wedding planning resource because it keeps you in the loop with lots of ideas for your wedding.  These wedding events that take place in big cities like New York, Miami or Chicago and bring you closer to famous designer dress couturiers, creative florists and their recomandations,  beauty service providers or talented photographers and their glamorous portfolios.

This month they are organizing a big event in NY on Monday November 15 which gives you the chance to engage with all these wedding vendors 1:1 and ask them any question you might have directly. At these bridal tradeshows everything is displayed on-site, organized by the type of service and there is even on site registration for all of your wedding needs.

What I really think is going to be a plus is that you will be among other brides and you can share your opinions, get advice or inside tips.

I really believe this is an amazing opportunity and it’s the one stop shop when planning your wedding. So, why don’t you give it a go!

When choosing the perfect wedding dress, the key elements you need to look for are comfort and tailoring. Although the dress may be amazing, it can never look smashing on you, unless it’s personalized for you size and shape.

There are lots of great gowns out there that set the trend guidelines for this year, so even if you are tall, boyish or you are shopping for plus size wedding dresses, you will definitely find something that will suit you perfectly to walk down the aisle in great style.

The Goddess Dress

The Greek-inspired look floats on one shoulder for a subtle sexiness effect. This look can be applied on several types of silhouettes because of its flowing line.

The Strapless Gown

This shape is upgraded this season with embellished pearls or other type of embroidery. This should focus on a single element and the embellishments should be in the same tone and feel as the dress.

Color Accents

Colorful sashes and details add a modern touch to the classic wedding patterns. Color schemes can make the whole event feel brighter and more fun. Think your favorite color but don’t overwork it. Use at most 2 colored details or if you are brave you could try a two-toned dress as well.

Sleek Diva

It is a fact that the column and trumpet type dresses are now very up-to-date.  These classic choices are wonderful options if you have a well structured body type and they are the gowns that highlight your curves the most.

Tiered and Layered Dresses

Multiple layers of tulle, chiffon or even feathers are the next big think in wedding fashion. The romantic drama look can easily fit into any picture, because it is a classic eternal look. The oversized type-A turns into a princess look  due to the volume added by the various layers.

I think the easiest way to find the perfect wedding dress is to see and try on lots of different dresses and styles. This way you’ll get all the insights you need and you will surely make the right choice in the end. As 2 of my friends are getting married this summer I browsed the web for some lovely wedding dresses and found lots of amazing and affordable options, even if you choose to have your wedding as a fairy tale or on the beach.

The latest wedding style combines simple elegant venues with sharp sophisticated couture dresses but it all depends on what you really like and how you imagined your dream wedding.

All wedding dresses have the classic shapes and I’m sure you all know them by now, so whether you decide to wear a princess dress, a column style dress, a ballroom dress, or a mermaid dress, I’m sure you will look amazing.

There are tons of bridal galleries and tools online so it will be easy to figure out what will look good on you before going out to bridal shops. I’ve done my research and here is a showcase of the most beautiful dresses I found.

It’s really hard to select a good outfit for this occasion because you really need to be on your best appearance. There are heaps of stunning Mother of the bride dresses out there and you should be able to find something that makes you feel yourself and also makes you feel comfortable enough throughout the wedding party.

Not all the outfits include a seriously long evening dresses anymore and depending on your age and size you can easily adapt and accessorize the ensemble with simple refined jewelery or a fun clutch.

Le Deux Piece

I think that a soft warm toned color not too pastel or beige would be perfect. You can wear it with long or short-sleeved-jacket in the beginning and loose the jacket later in the evening. Usually this jacket has coordinated tone and materials and there are some custom made boleros have those small pearly details in soft patterns. I wouldn’t suggest matching a different color bolero because it can ruin the whole outfit.

Th clasic little black dress

This dress has no age and you can easily dress it up with some metallic accessories or an amazing pair of sandals. The lenght of the dress should have medium or ankle lenght in order to be able to still attend to your duties on the wedding day and not feel chained to the floor with a long dress.

Bold Choices

I also think a tailor made suit with pants would be a great option. You can wear it with a satin or silk top and a gorgeous wrap.  You can choose other trendy choices if you have the looks and a younger spirit, like a floral pattern dress, a one-shoulder dress or a lace detail dress.
