Contemporary Celebrations: A Guide to Crafting a Stylish and Modern Wedding!

1

If you are tired of the all the classic weddings that you have attended in the past and are looking for something a bit different for your own special day, you may want to consider throwing a modern wedding instead.

A modern wedding is a popular trend at the moment and it will be a great way to celebrate the time that you are currently living in. Getting rid of tradition can be something that can make the day a bit less stressful as well and you may be more comfortable throughout the wedding process. Below are some tips to get you started in the right direction.

Simplify the Wardrobe

No one said that you have to dress in a formal wedding gown with bridesmaids wearing matching dresses beside you. This is one of the easiest ways to create a modern look.

Start with the wedding gown and choose something that defies all traditions. Choose a piece that shows off your personality and unique style instead of the tradition you want to uphold. You may even want to dare to choose a dress that is not a traditional wedding color to really stand out.

When it comes to the bridesmaids, one fun trend that is currently sweeping the wedding industry is dressing each bridesmaid in a different dress but that stick with the color scheme of the wedding. This is a great option because no two women are created the same. While one dress style may work well with one woman, it will look horrible on another. By having separate dresses, you will know that all of your girls will feel beautiful.

Throw out Traditions

If you are looking to completely go against the norm, you should get rid of some of the traditions that are usually present at weddings. For example, if you do not feel that being married in a church is important, choose a different venue instead. If the weather will be nice, you can always choose to have a wedding that is outdoors.

Another tradition that may be a fun one to break is waiting until you walk down the aisle for the groom to see you. This makes for a fantastic photo opportunity and you can plan a ‘first look’ before the ceremony to make it even more special. Having this moment in a private setting will allow you to enjoy it even more.

Conclusion

You can do many things to have a modern wedding that defies tradition. These weddings are created with the bride and groom’s interests in mind and bring out a lot of the couple’s personality.

Keep in mind that you do not need to throw out all traditions in order to have a modern wedding. There are many that you can keep, but the point is to create a wedding that you love rather than one that is based upon tradition.

Fun at the Bridal Shower

Having a bridal shower is an important part of getting married. However, some of the portions of it can be rather boring. While it is fun to share the time with the bride, many guests may grow weary when they are watching the bride open her gifts. Since the gifts are usually household gifts, there really isn’t anything that the guests can do to become excited about these items.

However, there are some games that can be played during the gift opening ceremony that will make the process more fun and exciting. This is a great way to keep the guests excited and involved even when the shower takes a boring turn. Below you will find some special games that you can play as the bride is opening her gifts.

Bridal Bingo

1

When the bride is preparing to open her gifts, pass out bingo cards filled with common household goods instead of numbers. Then as the bride is opening her gifts, they will look to see if they have a match. The first person to get a bingo on their card will be declared the winner. This is a great game that will help keep guests involved with the process of opening up the gifts and will help them to enjoy the shower better.

Good Wishes

With this game, each guest will have a moment to give the bride some good wishes for her upcoming wedding and marriage. These wishes can be written down on a piece of paper that will be added to a special vase later on. As the bride is opening the gift that was brought by the guest, the guest will share with the group their wishes for the bride’s future. This is a fun way to enjoy a moment with the bride as she is opening up her gifts.

Wrapping Paper Décor

2

Another fun game that you can play while the bride is opening up her gifts involves creating a special décor item for her to enjoy. Using a large piece of poster board, each guest will take a portion of the wrapping paper or gift sack that they choose to present her gift in and attach it to the poster board. After the party is over, the bride can then have the board framed and will always have a reminder of her bridal shower at all times.

Conclusion

These games are all unique ways that you can make sure that the guests of a wedding shower are able to enjoy the time when the bride is opening her wedding gifts. Instead of having a fairly boring time during this part of the shower, guests will instead be able to enjoy the time and have some laughter to go along with the party as well. So, if you are looking for a way to make the gift opening section of the bridal shower more enjoyable, be sure to rely on some of these games.

How to Get in Shape for your Perfect Wedding Dress

1

One of the biggest concerns that brides have is looking great in the wedding dress that they have chosen. Most brides feel as though they should lose a little weight before the attention is completely focused on them. If you are in this situation, you will find that there are many things that you can do to help improve your figure for your big day.

Eat Healthy

The first thing that you will need to do is to make sure that you are eating the right types of foods to remain healthy. There are many nutrients available in fruits and vegetables that are great for you when you are looking to lose weight.

You should also avoid things that are bad for your health, like caffeine, sweets, cigarettes and excessive drinking. These items can all hinder your goal of losing weight and can make it harder for you to get in shape for your wedding.

Exercise

2

Plan some time every day to get out and get some exercise. Not only will this help you get in shape quickly, but you will be able to eliminate some of the stress that you are undoubtedly feeling from all the wedding planning that you have been doing lately. This may be something that you prefer to do alone so that you can relax your mind each day.

You can also make your exercise routine part of a special bonding ritual that you have with your bridesmaids. If you are all looking to get in shape so that you will look great in your dresses, schedule some time at least once or twice a week that you can all meet up and go for a walk or run together. This is a great way to spend some time together and to get in shape with your friends before your wedding arrives.

Get your Fiancé in on the deal too

3

Another thing that you may want to consider is getting your fiancé involved with the exercise process. Whether he already has a gym that he attends regularly or is new to the exercise game, the two of you can enjoy a bit of time away from the wedding planning process to relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Many may be surprised that the groom usually wants to lose a little weight before the wedding too. He will want to look fantastic for you in his tux on your wedding day as well as for the honeymoon. By exercising together, you will both be able to look and feel your best when the wedding arrives.

Conclusion

Getting in shape for your wedding is a simple process if you put your mind to it. You should keep your goals realistic and feel good about any progress that you make before your wedding day arrives. Regardless as to how much weight that you do or do not lose, your groom will find you beautiful in your wedding dress.
