Getting married under an arch? An arch can provide a beautiful frame above and around a couple during the wedding ceremony. And it can be the UGLIEST thing in your wedding photos and video. An arch is typically a fairly basic somewhat mangled metal frame that comes to life when it is decorated with flowers, perhaps some lights, ribbon or whatever you would like. And gee--you only need to decorate one side because that is what the crowd will see. And that, my friends, is the problem. Most people only worry about the front. But photographers and videographers want to see your face. And as you face the officiant for the ceremony, the best shot of the two of you is most likely from the opposite side of the arch. You know--the side that is nothing more than an ugly bare metal frame with twisted wires showing! Yuck!
Her arms went up but the gown did not...
Strapless gowns are still the most popular choice for the bride and her bridesmaids and needless to say, you really, really, REALLY want that zipper to stay closed all night long. Fortunately, there is a small hook and eye fastener at the top of the zipper to protect against such disasters. But......what if the hook and eye fails? Trust me. They do. And more often than anyone would like! Sometimes the thread holding the hook and eye to the dress is nice and secure, and sometimes it is not. To insure you or your bridesmaids will not end up as part of some mass email, take the time to sew the hook and eye nice and secure.
So that's what those holes are for!
The makers of tuxedo pants have found a way to help the guys pull their shirts nice and tight. There are holes inside the front pants pocket. Feel around and up high--they are there!
Best man tip: Under the circumstances, the front pants pocket might not be the best place to keep the rings! (or your keys, or your money...)
These shoes are KILLING me! (For the guys)
Attending a wedding as a guest and dread the thought of your uncomfortable dress shoes? There is a way out! More and more guys are opting for a nice comfortable pair of solid black sneakers. What? Never saw any of the guests wearing sneakers before? Exactly. It is not something anyone really notices. But they are there!
These shoes are KILLING me!( For the gals)
Dread the thought of dancing the night away in your heels? Good news! Flip flops are in! Head to Old Navy and pick up a pair of white flip flops for the bride and color coordinated flip flops for the bridesmaids and you are good to go!
