Have you heard about bridal registry? I’ve just heard about it and I was shocked to find out that there was such a thing. It’s actually like you’re demanding that your guests give you a gift. But since everybody’s doing it, I guess it’s okay that I follow suit. Besides, who’s complaining?

To discuss in detail, this system they call bridal registry was actually designed by department stores. Their purpose was to help engaged couples manage the gifts they are to receive at the wedding. How so? The couple checks the items that are available at the department store and uses them as basis for their list. This list consists of the items that they would like to receive from their guests. The couple or the participating stores then distribute the list to the guests.

That’s not the end of it. The department store updates the list whenever an item is purchased. Now this means that you won’t have to receive two same gifts from your guests. Imagine the convenience the system brings. I mean, who needs two oven toasters in one house? I remember my sister’s wedding. She did not receive two, but three oven toasters. I’d say it’s a waste.

And imagine the savings you’ll make if you implement the system. Now your guests can shoulder some of the expenses you are bound to cover with your new home. I just finished making my own list. Now I have my oven toaster, coffee maker, kitchen utensils and many other home amenities covered. That leaves me more money to spend for my wedding.

This is exactly what I need since I am planning to invest on my bridal gown big time. Yes, I call it investment. My wedding dress is not a one-event thing for me. I’m planning to make it last a lifetime. You see, my Mom used my grandma’s wedding gown who used her grandma’s wedding gown who used her grandma’s wedding gown. Too bad this long tradition had to stop at my generation. You see, the vintage gown has finally given up and is now beyond repair.

Anyway, I plan to start my own tradition with my new wedding gown. I haven’t bought it yet though. But I have my eyes set on a Bridal Gowns – MyLady. The collection consists of lovely gowns embellished with splendid Austrian Swarowski and are made from deluxe European fabrics.

I am trying to choose from three exquisite pieces. The first one is Lady Alba. It’s a two-piece bridal gown (bodice and skirt). The top is basic in cut and style yet part see-through. That’s looking bold and decent all at the same time.

Next in line is Lady Alegria. The bodice and skirt are also separate. I love its full skirt and elegant draperies. And what’s great about it is that you get to wear the bodice with plunging cleavage and still manage to look decent.

And the last but definitely not the least (I think I’m going for this one) is the Lady Amaranta. This wedding gown is the perfect embodiment of elegance and splendor. Need I say more?

Are you getting cold feet already? Don’t fret over it. It’s natural for you to experience wedding jitters. Practically everybody who’s about to make that momentous march to the altar goes through the same nerve wrecking apprehension.

I remember my own wedding. I was so nervous that I started to believe that my intuition was screaming at me, telling me that I was making a wrong decision. One day, I just lost it. I went straight to my fiance’s doorstep and told him I was not pushing through with the wedding. Broke his heart on the dot. I still remember his eyes, and the pain that registered as I uttered those silly words.

Naturally, the news found its way to my imposing mother in an instant. And she decided to put the matters into her own hands. In no time, she was at my doorstep with that scrutinizing expression that never fails to get me all cowered.

Then there she was, explaining to me what this so-called ‘wedding jitters’ was all about. And there I was, telling her that I was finally going through as planned. After she left, I could not help but wonder if I changed my mind because I was convinced that I was overreacting or because I was afraid of her.

Right at this moment, I don’t really care. I’m pretty sure I made the right decision. I am now happily married to my husband of eight years and we are now expecting our third baby. This is one reason why I am never bitter with my Mom. She always truly knows what’s best for me.

As for you, don’t go breaking your fiance’s heart because of some stupid wedding jitters. Lest he’ll go and tease you for the next decades. And you’ll never forget how silly and childish you were. You know what’s the best way you can get your mind off your jitters? Attend to your wedding affairs. Be meticulous with every little detail.

Believe me, you’ll never run out of anything to attend to. There’s the flower arrangement, the wedding gifts, the choice of bridesmaids and flower girls, the reception and many others. But don’t get too engrossed with little details that you’ll neglect the important ones. And what’s more important than your bridal gown? Do you have one already. If you don’t, let me give you my recommendation.

Check out Bridal Gowns – Tulipia. They are not your ordinary wedding dresses. I can assure you your guests will always remember how you looked on your wedding day.

Let me give you a run-through of my favorites. First in the list is Tulipia – 5. It’s your usual white bridal gown with a tube top and full skirt. What sets it apart is its drapery at the hips in an eye-catching shade of off-white.

Then there’s Tulipia – 7. I love its white and fluffy skirt. Reminds me of those beautiful winter days I always enjoy spending with my husband. You should look at it yourself.

Finally, on top of my list is Tulipia – 11. What I love about this piece is its exquisite detail that definitely sets it apart from other wedding gowns. Its lustrous fabric is embellished with pink swarowski all in the right places. The result is a dress dazzling in its splendor.

Funny how I still enjoy looking at bridal gowns even when I don’t actually need them anymore. Well, come and join the fun!
