Chinese Wedding Dress Etiquette

posted by: judy category: Guides No Comments

In Chinese culture, marriage is a very important and significant life event for both the bride and the groom, as well as their families. There are many customs involved in a traditional Chinese wedding and specific etiquette regarding the attire worn. Colors are significant, especially the lucky color red. Modern Chinese brides often choose to incorporate some or all of these traditions, including attire, to honor their culture and highlight the importance of the wedding for bringing two families together.
Wedding Ceremony
Chinese brides traditionally have three different dresses for their wedding. A white, western-style dress and a veil are worn for the ceremony. Before she is dressed, she will have a bath in pomelo-infused water, which is believed to cleanse her of bad influences.
Wedding Reception
Chinese brides wear a traditional dress for the tea ceremony and wedding banquet, and the style varies depending on what part of China her family is from. Northern brides wear long, one-piece gowns, which are known as cheongsam. Southern Chinese brides wear a two-piece hung kwa, consisting of a jacket and long skirt. These dresses are typically red, which is a symbol of both love and prosperity. The dress is never black, blue or gray, which could be bad luck for the couple.
Traditional dresses have detailed embroidery in gold and silver thread and may include a phoenix, which is symbolic for the female half of the male/female power balance. If the bride’s family is very wealthy, she may have even more dresses to change into throughout the banquet. The bride may also wear an elaborate headdress to match her gown.
Bridal Party
The modern bride may choose to have her bridesmaids wear either cocktail dresses or longer gowns, or the traditional Chinese cheongsams. The groomsmen wear tuxedos or dark suits for the ceremony and reception, though they may wear traditional robes in colors such as gold or light blue for the tea ceremony.

Storing Seasonal Clothes

posted by: riken category: Guides No Comments

When the winter snows start to melt away, and the local swimming pool starts making preparations for its busy season, it’s time to pack away our winter clothes. Sweaters, coats, gloves, hats, and thermals are all thrown into the nearest container and tossed into some out of the way place. Or, if we don’t want any nasty surprises next winter, we take the time to store our clothing properly. Follow these tips to ensure the safety of your clothes.

1.Clean all outfits thoroughly before packing. Particles left on items can stain and set into your clothes after several months of storage. Cleaning the clothes also means that insects will be less likely to take up residence in your sweaters.

2.Plastic storage containers can be used for storing clothes, although if any bug larvae are in the clothing, they will have a feast. Cardboard boxes can be used for temporary storage. Make sure you use new clean boxes to avoid staining and insects. Even then be aware that cardboard boxes can attract bugs. One of the best storage containers is an unused suitcase that has been thoroughly cleaned. Line containers with acid free tissue.

3.Be careful with the use of mothballs. Children are naturally attracted to them with deadly results. Another option would be cedar blocks or cedar lined storage. Mothballs and cedar can be effective against insects, but keep in mind that neither is a complete guarantee.

4.Don’t hang sweaters or other knit items that can become misshapen by long term hanging. Instead carefully fold the items and place into the storage container. Stack your folded items from the lightest items on top to the heaviest items on bottom. Stacking items loosely will allow air to still circulate.

5.If you hang items, utilize all of the extra hanging loops to keep the clothing from becoming misshapen. Wrap the clothing in something breathable (i.e. fabric). Make sure the clothing has enough room to breathe. This will keep down the risk of mildew and mold. It will also keep the clothing from wrinkling and creasing during storage. I do not recommend storing clothes in plastic bags. The bags do not allow the clothes to breathe enough.

6.Remember Clean, Cool, Dark, and Dry. Your storage area must be all 4 of these in order to protect your clothing. Clean any area thoroughly before storing. Choose a place that is not likely to be exposed to heat. Avoid areas near heating sources. A dark place will prevent fading and keep the area and clothing cool. Make sure the storage area is dry because wetness will attract mildew and insects.

Bridesmaid Dresses

posted by: sabrina category: Guides No Comments

It is a big honer for women to being a bridesmaid. The bridesmaid dress can be elegant and serve its purpose at the same time. Today I want to show you something about bridesmaid dresses.

History

The bridesmaid dresses are usually similar to that which the bride is wearing. In ancient Roman times, it was customary for the bridal party to dress this way to confuse evil spirits whose intent was to kidnap the bride. By dressing similarly, the evil spirits could not be sure they were taking the right woman.

Misconceptions

The thought of bridesmaid dresses usually conjures images of hideous, frilly concoctions of lace and tulle. However, modern bridesmaid dresses are actually very tasteful and elegant. Also, most modern brides will get input from her wedding party when choosing a bridesmaid dress. It doesn’t have to be a dress that should go in a bridesmaid dress hall of shame.

Features

The bridesmaid dress will usually be chosen to complement the bride’s choice for her wedding dress. It will usually be similar in style, but in a more subdued manner. Also, where the bride will be more apt to go with a traditional white or off-white, the bridesmaid dresses can be more colorful, usually keeping with the colors chosen for the wedding theme.

Types

The type of bridesmaid dress will depend on several factors, the most important being the scale of the wedding. If the wedding will be a large lavish affair, the bridesmaids dresses will usually be more elegant, perhaps floor length. If the wedding will be smaller, the bridesmaid dress should be more simple. Other factors to consider when choosing the type of dress the bridesmaids will wear are the time of year the wedding will take place and the time of day. Evening weddings tend to be more formal than daytime weddings.

Function

One major function of the bridesmaid’s dress is to complement the bride’s dress while contrasting enough to allow the bride to stand out. Unfortunately, the function of the bridesmaid dress is usually over by the end of the wedding. This may leave a former bridesmaid with a dress that she will never wear again. If a bridesmaid finds herself with a dress that no longer serves a purpose, she can sell it, donate it or have it altered to suit another purpose.

posted by: hellen category: Guides No Comments

The ring bearer and flower girl are sometimes replaced with the junior bridesmaids. Dressing the junior bridesmaid has been a little difficult in the past, and reading this article will give alternatives for these occasions.

If the wedding shop doesn’t have a junior bridesmaid selection, go to a local upscale department store and find a dress to coordinate with the wedding party attire. Catalog shopping would be next, or through the Internet. Shopping on the Internet, it is suggested you contact Peridress.com, which has a selection of gowns for the entire bridal party. If you give the detailed customizing information to Peridress, the dress can be made as your requirements.Here is a 5% coupon code for you: p003du938e.

(Jim Hjelm) Occasions Best Selling Bridesmaid Dress Style JH5728

1.Contact this company to check and see if they have junior bridesmaid’s dresses, and let them know the date of the wedding, if alterations will be needed and measurements of the junior bridesmaid. Hopefully, your dress will be perfect when it arrives.

2.An alternative would be to go to the site, www.sewingpatterns.com and review the junior bridesmaid patterns for a custom-made dress. You may be able to find a pattern where the design is simple, but elegant, and is quite versatile, in order to blend and match with bridesmaids’ gowns.

3.Measurements can be acquired from the junior bridesmaid, if she lives a long distance away from wedding location. She can go to a seamstress or tailor shop in her hometown. Then measurements can be sent to the bride, who will then choose the pattern and fabric and give all this information to her local seamstress to make the dress. Once the dress is made, it can then be shipped to the attendant for alterations.

The bride has to approve the pattern and fabric, wherever it is chosen. The bride has final approval of all garments in the wedding party.

4.Once the attendant receives the dress, she would try it on and see if alterations need to be made. She should have everything on and a photo taken to send to the bride for final approval. The only thing missing will be the fresh flowers, which will be delivered on the day of the wedding.

5.Once this is done, select shoes and hair accessory to match the attendants’. Once these steps are taken, your junior bridesmaid is ready to walk down the aisle.

How to Choose the Right Evening Gown for a Beauty Pageant

posted by: alice category: Guides No Comments

Your pageant evening gown should fit properly in regards to size and style. Keep in mind that trendy dresses may not be your best option. It is more important for the judges to remember you and not your clothes.

(Antoniette Catenacci) Evening Dress 3

Your evening gown for a beauty pageant should be of a style and color appropriate for you and for the pageant. If you are a teen avoid slinky fitted beaded gowns. By the same token, avoid ruffles and bows if you are a Miss. It doesn’t matter the price of your gown, is the overall impression of you in it that counts.
The style should flatter your figure and be in good taste. The neckline should compliment the shape of your face. Stay away from plunging necklines, excessive cleavage, backless or very low cut gowns. Every formal evening gown must be floor length and professionally tailored in order to avoid wrinkles or puckers as you walk on stage.
The shoes for your gown can be clear or the same color as the bottom of the pageant gown. Choose a classic pump or nice sandals and avoid clunky shoes. The height of the heel should be at least 3 inches.
Jewelry should enhance your look and not over power it. Include rhinestone or crystal earrings that match the gown and which are longer than the earrings used for the swimsuit. Any other type of jewelry pulls the judges’ attention off your face

Sincerely hope this article will be helpful for you.

How to Pick a Wedding Dresses for Short Women?

posted by: judy category: Guides No Comments

Shopping for clothes as a petite woman is difficult, but looking for a wedding dress can be even harder. Styles with huge, poofy skirts and heavy embellishments only overwhelm a short bride, and empire waist or mermaid dresses can make a petite woman look even shorter. Do your homework before you go dress shopping and learn the best way to suit your body; after all, your wedding dress will be displayed in photos for the rest of your life.

Measure your height from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. Get a feel for what dress length you prefer. A short wedding dress should fall no longer than mid-calf. Avoid dresses shorter than the top of the knee. Dresses this short can make it very hard to dance at your wedding reception.
Cross voluminous ballgowns off your list; a petite woman will be swallowed up by its full skirt. The same rule goes for dresses with heavy beading or large ruffles and bows. Stick to a natural waist; empire waists and drop waists can break up a short silhouette, according to Wedding Channel.
Compare colors. A traditional wedding dress is made from white or off white fabric; These traditional colors, as well as shades of pearl, beige and mother of pearl are also available for short wedding dresses in most bridal shops. Consider a different color if this is not your first wedding; if you have a particularly striking feature such as wide purple eyes, a short lavender dress will draw attention. A shorter dress works best in a single color. This helps avoid a choppy look that can cut you in half visually.
Evaluate accessories. Wedding dress accessories include trains, tiaras, veils, stockings, handbags and shoes. Each accessory should complement your overall look. Put the spotlight on your shoes or your hairpiece with a short dress. Add some sparkle to your look if you’ve opted for a simple dress with a jeweled tiara or high-heeled silver shoes. Wear a train with a shorter wedding dress to add formality to an otherwise informal dress. Match the color of your pantyhose to the color of your dress. A mismatched color can make the entire ensemble look awkward and ungainly.

posted by: julie category: Guides No Comments

Weddings can be extremely expensive events, especially for the family of the bride. When formulating your budget, you can save money on key aspects of the big day, like the dress for the mother of the bride.

(Rina di Montella) Social Dress Style RS1355

Instructions

1.Consult the bride on her color choices for the wedding party. Decide whether to follow the color scheme or wear your own color.

2.Consider what type of wedding you will be attending. Determine how fancy you think your attire should be depending on the wedding style.

3.Shop early. Take advantage of end-of-season clearances and closeouts in the seasons preceding the wedding.

4.Pay close attention to advertisements announcing sales. Check newspapers, television, magazines and the Internet for upcoming deals.

5.Stake out local shops that could sell the type of dress you want. Talk to sales staff about their expected shipments or request something you’d like to see.

6.Consult the Internet. Be sure to shop at only reputable sites and place any order early to avoid untimely delays.

7.Consider shopping in a consignment store. Many are upscale, and because most mother of the bride’s dresses are commonly worn only one time, you might find exactly what you need here. The prices can be very reasonable and that could allow you to expand your budget in another category.

8.Upscale thrift shops that sell merchandise from estate sales can be an excellent choice.

9.If the wedding is informal, buy a dress you can wear many times afterwards.

10.Try a non-traditional color or style. As long as it’s appropriate for the occasion, you may find something beautiful and in your price range.

How to Choose a Wedding Veil that Suits Your Face

posted by: sabrina category: Guides No Comments

A veil is one of the most defining aspects of your bridal appearance. Historically a veil was worn to protect the bride from evil spirits; nowadays it is simply considered a beautiful form of adornment. Today’s bride can choose any type of veil she desires, but it is important to understand that a veil is an accessory, and as such only one part of your overall look. You need to consider how it will work with your face shape.

Look at what type of Face Shape Do You Have. A veil frames your face, so your face shape is an important denominator in choosing a veil. Consider the following advice for your face shape:

Round face-a round face is virtually as wide as it is long and looks full in appearance. When choosing a veil look for a style that will help make your face look longer and slimmer. It is preferable for your veil to reach at least shoulder length and for it to have some volume on the top of the head. Avoid veils with too much fullness at the sides of the face.

Square face -a square face is typically wide and angular looking. When choosing a veil look for a style that will soften your face and add length. It is preferable for your veil to reach at least shoulder length and for it to have some volume on the top of the head. Circular and cascading styles can help soften the angular nature of your jaw line.

Oval Face-an oval face shape in slightly longer then it is wide, it is similar in appearance to an egg shape. As this face shape is well balanced, you are free to experiment with different veil styles. However, it is a good idea to avoid going extreme in either volume or width, to help maintain your proportions.

Rectangle face-a rectangle face is longer then it is wide and it tends to appear narrow and angular. When choosing a veil look for a style that has width around the face, but no height at the top of the head.
