Beautiful DIY Flowers + Affordable Budget
=
Beautiful Art Works @ Low Cost
Beautiful Art Works @ Low Cost
It's Spring! What else is better than beautiful blossoms to represent the lovely season? Flowers not only brighten up your day, but their pleasing aromas can also calm you down after a hard working day or the most stressful and yet happiest day in your life - Yes, it's your wedding day!
Flowers are something that can't be eliminated from your wedding checklist. Flowers can either dramatize your lavish wedding or to dress up your small-scale intimate wedding nicely. However, it is kind of costly to dress up your entire wedding decorations using all real flowers. Cost of hiring a professional floral designer to decorate your wedding could go from a few hundreds to a few thousands dollars. Wow, that's a huge amount from your pocket! Ouch!
If you are truly a flowers lover and you will not satisfy to celebrate your special moment without the companion of flowers, what can you do to get rid of the expensive bills?
There are a few options such as
1. Choose in-season flowers, so that you can save some money to import the selected flowers from other places.
2. Minimize flower usage and complete the decor by using candles. Candles create romantic feel especially in the dim light room.
3. What's in season? What's the hit in Spring 2009? It's the {Paper Flowers Arrangement}!!
Let us focus on {Paper Flowers Arrangement} today.
A touch of creativity, inspirations, and sacrificing every afternoon on weekends leading up to your wedding day to create splendid artworks on your own without breaking the bank! Who knows you are a talented artist behind the scene?! Even if you are not, simple steps and tools as seen on the newest issue of Martha Stewart Wedding Magazine (Spring 2009) - BIG BLOOMS ON SMALL BUDGET, prove that DIY Paper Flower is not hard at all! Inspiring? Get a copy of your Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine =)

I believe every girl dreams of their ideal wedding since young. What's the most profound 'thing' for all princesses?
It's dressing up like a true princess of the day - The Power of Wedding Gown!
Here are some of the popular silhouettes for the modern wedding gowns:
1. Ball Gown
2. Classic A-line
3. Empire
4. Mermaid
5. Sheath
Let's discuss each of the silhouette listed above.
1. Ball Gown
This silhouette is classical and formal - to create dramatic 'Cinderella Prom Night'.
It composed of a fitted corset-style bodice which usually ends at the waist or just below, and finishing the look with a very full, floor-length skirt.
This silhouette is suitable for:
Formal weddings (E.g.: Black tie sit-down reception)
This silhouette looks flattering on:
Most brides, especially full-figured and petite brides
It has dual functions for small and large hips brides. It is good at hiding larger hips, as well as to create a curvy look for brides with narrow hips.
Not the first choice for:
Brides with short waist; unless a dropped-waist bodice is chosen. It creates the hour-glass look and minimizes short waist.
2. Classic A-line (A.K.A. Princess Style)
This silhouette is very similar to Empire style. However, both silhouettes flare out at different points. Empire silhouette starts with a fitted bust line and flares out from just beneath the bust line down to the ground. Whereas, A-line silhouette hugs your upper body tightly as it flares out into an 'A' shape skirt right below your natural waist. It elongates your torso and hides your heavy bottom very well.
This silhouette is suitable for:
Any level of formality (E.g.: Black tie sit-down reception or intimate garden wedding)
This silhouette looks flattering on:
All brides, especially full-figured brides
*Be wise in choosing the right fabric for your A-line gown! Heavier fabric such as bridal satin, does not cling on your body, but falls down naturally and cover your lower half very well.
Not the right choice for:
None
3. Empire
This silhouette creates a mysterious goddess look for your big day that will blow your man as well as your guests away! The high-waisted, long flowing skirt skim your midsection and camouflage wide hips. In addition, it helps to add a few inches taller for petite brides by creating a high waistline just beneath the bust line.
This silhouette is suitable for:
Any level of formality (E.g.: Black tie sit-down reception or an intimate garden wedding)
This silhouette looks flattering on:
Apple- and Pear-shaped brides, as well as petite brides
Not the first choice for:
Brides with brilliant curves to show off on their special day
4. Mermaid
This silhouette is elegant and yet sophisticated, it goes step father than Sheath (will be discussed later) - to create a tighter and curvaceous look. It hugs your body tightly from top down to your knees and flares down to hemline, exactly like a mermaid's tail. [That's why this silhouette named as MERMAID]
This silhouette is suitable for:
Formal and informal wedding (E.g.: Black tie sit-down reception or beach wedding)
This silhouette looks flattering on:
Very confident bride who is proud to show off every curve of her body
Not the first choice for:
Brides who are not comfortable revealing their curves
5. Sheath
This silhouette is simple and yet elegant.
It hugs your curves softly, accentuates your torso, waist and hips - to create slim and sexy silhouette to the body.
This silhouette is suitable for:
Casual, intimate weddings (E.g.: beach or other destination weddings)
This silhouette looks flattering on:
Petite and well-proportioned brides
Tall and thin brides
Not the first choice for:
Brides with larger lower bodies. This silhouette may not be able to hide your wide hips, unless you use heavier fabric that is less form fitting.
