7 Ways to Fail With Your Wedding Wardrobe

Your wedding day is one of the most important in your life. You will always remember it, and it will be immortalized in pictures, which may grace the walls of your home for decades to come. So what do you want to remember about it: how great you looked, or how your expensive wedding outfit let you down? Discover seven ways to fail with your wedding wardrobe, and learn how to avoid every single one.

 

1. Dress Doesn’t Fit

Try on your dress! Sounds simple, right? Many brides, however, make this mistake. They want to play it safe, but they miss out on something important. Try on your dress before you buy, when you get it altered, after you get it altered, and a week before the big day. Always be very careful when handling your dress, and enlist the aid of a friend (or several) when needed. If you’re conscientious, you won’t damage or dirty you gown before its big wedding day debut. But you’ve got to try it on several times because you don’t want to find out the day of that you can’t breathe in it, that the hem makes you trip or that the top just isn’t snug enough.

 

2. You Can’t Walk

Many brides worry about falling while walking down the aisle, but there’s a very simple way to avoid that nightmare entirely: wear your shoes. You’ve got to put your wedding shoes on to have a fitting, and while you’re at it you need to walk around. Don’t restrict yourself to the plushy carpet in the bridal boutique, either. Try to find realistic surfaces, like grass and hard floors, if you can. No matter what, take a decent little walk in your shoes even if you’re not wearing the dress to make sure they fit and you’re steady in them.

 

3. Visible Underwear

The bride’s in a beautiful white dress, underneath the bright June sun . . . and everyone can see her sexy red bra. Don’t let this be you. Wear light-colored or nude underwear beneath your clothes. Choose a bra with nude straps or clear straps, because you definitely don’t want them to show. White and beige lingerie are the perfect choice for any bride. Bold colors and black underclothes are an invitation for humiliation.

 

4. Lumpy Look

You want to look smooth and svelte when you’re walking down the aisle. The best way to achieve this goal is through a slimming structure garment such as Spanx. You can find form-smoothing garments in any length or style, so make sure to take the time to find one that won’t show underneath your gown.

 

5. Gaps and Slips

A wedding picture can be ruined if skin is showing where it shouldn’t. Use two-sided tape to make sure everything is a perfect fit, and it stays that way. With a single piece of two-sided tape, you can prevent gaping holes in shirts, slipping straps and a whole host of other problems that may affect anyone in the wedding party.

 

6. Deodorant

A gown can be ruined by deodorant marks. To avoid ugly problems, instruct everyone to wear clear deodorant. When even this doesn’t help, bring a small stack of sponges. A Magic Eraser and similar products may be used to wipe deodorant smudges away so that everyone looks great for every single picture.

 

7. Test Your Hair and Jewelry

Practice your wedding day hair look at least once before the big day, and put on your jewelry while your hair is all done up. You don’t want to find out while you’re at the altar that your hair keeps getting caught in your earrings, or that the necklace you’ve chosen doesn’t fall the right way with your gown. Always test your look before taking the big walk, down to the smallest of details.

 

You can prevent wedding wardrobe malfunctions and problems by planning ahead. Pack a small bag to take with you on the day of the wedding, or drop it off at your venue the night before. A travel sewing kit may be used for quick, on-the-spot repairs. Take the time to ensure that you have white thread and thread in the colors of your bridesmaid gowns. Pack clear nail polish to stop runs in nylons or give unmanicured nails a quick, camera-friendly sheen. Bring along extra buttons in the color of the tuxedos (likely black). You may also need shoe polish to shine up wedding party member shoes that look a little dull.

 

Some wedding wardrobe mishaps happen between the wedding and reception, or at the reception. Remember to take care of your dress for every moment that you have it on, even after your big march down the aisle. If you’re going to eat, lean forward toward the food and if possible, cover your dress with napkins. Hold your wedding gown up while walking to keep it from dragging on the floor, and have someone tie the train up as soon as the ceremony is over and the pictures are taken.

 

If you pay attention to your look and plan ahead, you’ll look perfect all the way from the proposal with Robbins Brothers engagement rings to the end of your big day.

Decorating and Organizing Your Closet

Most of the rooms in your house will benefit from a little paint, some curtains and maybe even a trinket or two strategically placed on a shelf. However, you cannot overlook the one place that you spend a lot of your time: the closet. Clothes, shoes, accessories, and jewelry are sometimes all stuffed into the same place so that you can look around and see everything that you own all in one spot. If this area is not eye catching or well organized, you may be missing out on some important pieces of your wardrobe.

The first step to making a change in your closet is clearing everything out. Place like items together. For example, there should be an area just for your shoes, an area for all of your purses, and if you have a favorite brand of clothing that you really like, keep all of the LRG Clothes together in one pile. While you are moving things, look for items that are too small, too big or just are not in style anymore. These do not go back into the closet.

Figure out what types of containers or organizers you will need. If you have narrowed down your shoe collection to only twenty pairs, you need to find a way to keep them all neatly in order. They cannot be thrown all over the place. The same goes for seasonal clothes.

Go through everything until it is back in place and organized. Then add the finishing touches. Consider a mirror with a beautiful design around the outside. Maybe even hang a picture of yourself in a favorite outfit!

Four Essential Wardrobe Items for Women

Every woman can dress with style. No matter the season, she can achieve a classic look with just a few staples in her wardrobe. Fashionable, classic outfits and accessories can accent any ensemble.

Shoes are, arguably, an accessory that can make or break an outfit. Especially for women, purchasing shoes can be either difficult or exhilarating. Searching for deals at www.offers.com can be a positive experience for every kind of shopper. Today, high heels are available in wedge form, classic pointed-toes styles, or strappy sandals. Tones of brown go best with dresses because they blend well with skin tones and elongate the legs. Finally, shoes such as ballet-style flats are available.

Belts add a plethora of options for women’s wardrobes. From classic brown or black leather, to sparkly-accented belts, to scarves, women have an abundance of products to enhance their waistlines. Besides holding pants up, belts are able to finish off an outfit with flair.

Scarf Worn as a Belt

Depending on the weather and climate, thin sweaters, jackets, or heavy coats will be a staple in a woman’s closet. Here is where it can be interesting! Jackets or overcoats in eye-popping hues and unique designs should be considered.  Shoppers should not worry about matching their outfits perfectly here.  Feel free to add a vintage style to a modern outfit, or vice versa!

Last but not least, women should purchase a quality pair of blue jeans for their wardrobes.  Dark washes work best on every body type, but jeans can be bought in a variety of cuts and colors.  Tall, thin women can sport skinny jeans, while shorter women may prefer boot-cut designs to lengthen their figures.

This Season’s Style: Fashion Ideas

A new year is here and you need some up-to-date fashion ideas. Keeping up with current style is fairly simple. Checking out coverage of fashion week is a good indicator of what is to come. Here are some fashion ideas that you should be on the lookout for:
*Keep your eye out for wide leg pants. Wide legs were fashion staples of the past and are now making their way back into style. Designers are bringing back wide legs in both jeans and dress trousers.
*High waists are flattering figures once again. The higher waist style of pants is making a reappearance. With the high set waist comes a thicker waist band. This keeps pants from having undesirable bulges. Another bonus to the higher-waisted pant? No more “muffin-top” That should get cheers from all sides!
*Decorative elements such as tassels, buckles, bows and lace are adorning all types of clothing and footwear. Also look for built-in belts, scarf neck ties and zippers where you might not expect them. What was once out, is now back in.
*Crop tops are here. Start working on the abs, girls, this belly-baring look is back with a vengeance.
*Cute heeled clogs look great with the wide leg pants that are showing up. Studded leather clogs with wooden heels are making a huge statement.
*Batiked skirts, tops and dresses, along with other bohemian trends, are going to be available for seasonal looks.
*Lace and satin are showing up in the resurgence of the lingerie trend. Camisoles as tops, slinky skirts and sheer attire are swathing bods everywhere.
The great thing about the new styling trend is that there are no hard and fast rules. Mix and match as you please. Use the looks you like; leave the looks you don’t. Have fun with your wardrobe, but don’t get too attached. By next year, something else will show up on the runways.
