Comfort is key! Anybody who knows me, knows that I’m all about comfort. Having hurting feet can shift your focus from the the glory of the day – and the wonderful man that you choose to spend the rest of your life with – to painful and swollen feet. Yuck. Pain can affect everything, walking , pictures, dancing – the total enjoyment of your day.
Not fun.
And totally annoying.
Ballet flats are cute for the Bride, the Bridesmaids, Jr. Bridesmaids and flower girls.
You can do some fun things with color!
Guess what ladies? They don’t even have to be made of satin. There are beautiful ones out there made of breathable leather. Comfortable and breathable – imagine that!
Happy planning!

I have always wanted to do this – but have not been able to convince anyone that it’s a great idea. I’m not sure whether that’s a testament to my lack of vision or the lack of being able to sell an idea.
Anywho, I still think it’s a fabulous idea – but just like anything else, it must be planned.
Take a look at how you can change the world – through your Bridesmaid’s attire!
Those pale yellow dresses are HOT!
Cool, eh?
Variety is the spice of life!

I see Bride after Bride going out to search for the “perfect” wedding gown. Wow, sometimes the “perfect” gown is so hard to find. I often wonder why Bride’s do not take advantage of professional seamstresses?
Is it more time? Not really. When you get your dress made, you have to attend a muslin fitting – and a few more fittings. You also have to attend a few fittings for a pre-made dress. Maybe you attend 2-3 more fittings (depends on the style of your dress) – but it’s custom designed for your body – and nobody has your dress. It’s something totally unique to you.
Is it more money? I guess it depends upon which budget range you are in. If you are planning on spending $250.00 on a dress – then, yes, I wouldn’t suggest that you get a dress made. However, if you are spending $1,500.00+ – why not? I have seen situations where the Bride loved a dress that was $2,500.00 in the Bridal shop. She had a dress made in pure silk – had a cathedral veil (lined in the same silk) and a bolero jacket made out the same fabric. The complete ensemble was $2,000.00.
If you want rushing, detailed bead work, or a special type of fabric – a custom dress might be the option for you.
It’s essential that you seek the help of a professional – someone who knows fabric and can offer you recommendations that will fit you and the style of your dress.
Call us and we can give you some excellent resources.

It’s pretty easy to green your wedding party. You can choose to have a small wedding party, just a Maid of Honor and Best Man, or not have a wedding party at all. You can choose a dress that’s neutral in color (black, white, navy, gray) so that they can wear it again. You can choose something second hand or vintage, or you can opt for a dress that’s organic cotton, silk, hemp, or bamboo!
There is a lot of choice!
Today, I choose to show you some pretty sustainable beauties!
Enjoy!
Happy Planning!
Thank you to Nimli and BTC Elements for these wonderful ideas!
I think flower girls are so cute, and add so much to a wedding. Their cute little faces as they walk down the aisle….
However to see them hidden underneath so much tulle and polyester is – so very sad. Sometimes, there is so much fabric, I can’t even see the girl underneath. I maintain that a flower girl doesn’t have to look like she’s just off the runway at a Little Miss Perfect beauty pageant, and still maintain the “kid cuteness” that’s exists within her.
So, in advocate of all the little girls out there – and all the Brides who want the little girls in their life to have an upscale look – this post is for you!
