Enjoying this hot weather? If you're having an August wedding you may want to make sure you have already seen or planned to visit your dressmaker for (with luck) your last dress fitting. And it's also a good idea for peace of mind to schedule a fitting the week of your wedding. You can always cancel the appointment if you try on the dress and it fits perfectly.

Wedding season is in FULL swing! and I got so many tips for all you Brides to be. Remember to try on all of your jewelry during your gown fitting. This will not only give you a better sense of your overall look, but also allow you to test out your earrings and necklace to make sure they don't snag on your veil. This is one pre-ceremony mishap that's easy to avoid!

Each ice water glass can have slices of lemon, lime, or cucumber for a refreshing drink guests will love. Please Share your ideas. http://bit.ly/13PM261

Think about the venue and time of year you're having an outdoor wedding. In July, you may want to re-think that heavy satin ball gown. And if you're hosting a romantic barn wedding, consider ditching the beaded ball gown.

Allow enough time It takes most designers four to six months to deliver a completed wedding gown. And if you request any customization, like additional beading or lace, it can take even longer. Try to start your search at least a year in advance. Remember: You’ll still need another two to three months for alterations once the gown arrives.

When choosing a gown, go with your heart and your instincts. Do not rely on what the trend at the moment is or which dress was worn on the red carpet last month. Instead, ask yourself: Does this dress make me feel and look beautiful? Will I love this dress in photos 10 or 20 years from today?
