Bridesmaids Dresses and Bridesmaids Shoes
Yet another question we, the wedding experts of TeamWED, get asked with some frequency is “Just how much can I ask my bridesmaids to do with regard to their personal appearance?” We’re heard the myths about bridesmaid contracts that stipulate the repercussions of weight gain and brides-to-be who chose a round of Botox as her [...]
Outdoor Wedding Photography Tips
Brides who are planning to take outdoor wedding photographs should let their wedding stylists know since the bridal makeup that will look best outdoors will be different than the makeup that will look good indoors. Outdoor wedding photography frequently turns out beautifully because diffuse outdoor lighting makes for great wedding portraits. However, we’d warn all [...]
Bridezilla? No Way!
Bridezilla, bridezilla, BRIDEZILLA! Those of us who are happily married here at TeamWED feel for today’s bride who has been overexposed to the idea of the bridezilla. She is afraid to speak up, afraid to ask for what she wants or to demand that a vendor contract be fulfilled lest she be dubbed a *gasp* [...]
Mother’s Wedding Dress
Many a little girl dreams of wearing her mother’s wedding dress. When those little girls turn into bright young women and are poised to be brides, however, they often change their minds. It’s only natural — when you’re seven years old wearing your mom’s size eight heels and sashaying around the house in your mother’s [...]
Bride’s Gifts and Groom’s Gifts
Almost all brides and grooms buy gifts for their attendants (and sometimes parents) but some couples take it a step further and buy pre-wedding presents for each other. The bride’s gift and groom’s gift can be anything from tickets to a sporting event to jewelry for the wedding day. Sometimes the groom will have a [...]
Cold Feet?
Cold feet are normal, and almost everyone gets them. Don’t worry too much about cold feet unless your feelings are getting in the way of your day-to-day life. Passing thoughts questioning whether marriage is the right choice don’t signify danger, but if you’re absolutely paralyzed by fear of the future, reassess your choices. One of [...]
Co-Ed Bridal Showers
Some engaged couples feel uncomfortable attending pre-wedding parties that are segregated by gender since it’s common nowadays for brides and grooms to have male and female friends. While having separate pre-wedding parties – a bridal shower for the ladies and a bachelor party for the gents – is still more common, there’s no rule that [...]
Silver Wedding Dresses
Looking for something a little different? Bored of all the white wedding dresses out there? In that case, silver might be just what you’re looking for! Silver wedding dresses are chic and elegant and rather subtle in that they’re not bright canary yellow or striking red. For that reason, silver wedding dresses are a great [...]
Bridal Shoes: Heels vs. Flats
Shoes, shoes, shoes! TeamWED is certainly not ashamed to share our love of shoes — especially bridal shoes — with the world. We like them all: heeled bridal shoes, flat bridal shoes, satin bridal shoes, colored bridal shoes, and even bridal sneakers! Heck, we’ve been known not to turn up our noses at bridal flip [...]
Wedding Cake Alternatives Are Sweet
We here at TeamWED are quick to announce that we like cake and even quicker to say that we think wedding cake is the sweetest cake of all. However, we also understand that there are plenty of brides and grooms out there who simply do not care for cake. And wedding cake can be very [...]
Second Weddings Don’t Have to Be Muted
Second weddings… the TeamWED gals decided to have a little brainstorming session about second weddings, also known as encore weddings, and these are some of the words that popped into our heads:
Bridal suit
Small wedding
No gifts please
Eloping
Family wedding
Older brides
Simple ceremony
Casual reception
And so on and so forth. Basically the second wedding we envisioned in our heads was [...]
Writing Wedding Vows Should Be Fun
A lot of brides and grooms balk at the notion of writing wedding vows, but the process shouldn’t be a daunting one. Wedding vows can be anything from a short declaration of your love for your partner or a long description of your courtship. Whether you like long or short wedding vows, however, writing wedding [...]
Wedding Shoes: Anything Goes!
Shoes, glorious shoes! Who among us doesn’t love shopping for footwear, even if it’s just a new pair of running shoes? Buying bridal shoes can be fun, but there are a lot of blah white satin pumps out there on the market. TeamWED has often wondered how different two pairs of satin pumps can possibly [...]
Mother-In-Law Woes
We hear at TeamWED get a fair number of emails from brides-to-be looking for advice. While we admit that we much prefer helping brides find their wedding dresses and bridesmaids’ dresses, we recognize that brides with parental problems need help, too. And by far the most common question we receive in this realm is from [...]
Wedding Ceremony Basics: Before You Say ‘I Do’
A bride who said her “I dos” this past August wrote to tell us how much she enjoyed all the wedding planning advice here at Daily Wedding Planning Tip, and we are so glad we could help! But we did ask one thing of her in return for the help we offered… no, not her [...]
