It's all about THE DRESS!


"What works best on my body?"  That is the number one question that we hear from brides when they come to try on gowns.  Most women want the shape of their body to be curvy, feminine and have the hourglass figure.  For the month of January we are going to help you with a few tips on finding the right dress starting from shoulders on down!

SHOULDERS!

* You want your shoulders to be in balance with your hips.  They should be approximately the same width to create a beautiful silhouette.*

 For Narrow Shoulders
-Try an off the shoulder gown. This will help round out your narrow shoulder line.
-Try a tip-of-the-shoulder gown, this gown is where the top of the shoulder meets the top of the arm.
-Avoid halter dresses!  They will make your shoulders look even smaller.

For Average Shoulders
-Good News! You can wear most necklines.

For Broad Shoulders
-Try an A-line or a full skirt this will help balance out your top.
-Try a sweetheart neckline.  This will help soften the shoulder line, making your shoulders seem softer.
-Avoid halter dress! They will accentuate your broad shoulders.
-Avoid straight dress!  They will make you look like the letter "T".

For more tips stay tuned!  Here at Perfect Weddings, we are trained bridal consultants and we can help you find that "Perfect" dress that will not only look gorgeous but make you feel gorgeous too!

Your Music Wedding Guide By the Numbers!!


5 Genre of Music to Consider


Want a party that's off the charts?  Match your music to the Reception vibe!

Here are 5 types of music to consider focusing your reception around!

1. Reggae- Consider this type for an informal outdoor or beach party!

2. Salsa-  Perfect for a clubby or Latin feel to your reception!

3. Bluegrass or Country-  Fun for a ranch, barn, or casual backyard blowout!

4. Swing-  Jazzy music that's danceable think Benny Goodman or Duke Ellington.  This will give you a retro-cool party.

Your Wedding Music Guide By The Numbers!


Your Wedding Music Guide all this Month from Perfect Weddings!

It's time for the holidays and what better time to think about what music you would like to have at your wedding.  Music can make or break an event.  All month long we'll be giving you some ideas and tips to help make your wedding the most musical anyone has ever heard!

3 Ways to Cut Costs On live Music!

Tip #1  Hire musicians to play the ceremony and the reception!  The longer you book a live band, the likelier they are to negotiate price or just charge less.

Tip #2  Book a Band with fewer musicians who can each play several instruments.  You will have more chance to get your money's worth and a variety of music.

Tip #3  Don't have the Band play the cocktail hour.  Ask your venue if there is equipment that would allow you to play recorded music for an hour!

All these ideas, tips, and more from Perfect Weddings and "Brides"
