Many couples decide to have a long engagement so that they can plan the perfect wedding. But between the engagement and the wedding date they can still have a lot of fun. The process of planning a wedding starts with the engagement party. This event should bring your families together and this is why the emotions are always very high and the expectations are very big for both you and your parents. In some countries the engagement is seen as the major wedding. A real deal compared to the white wedding…

You can plan it at your own house or make it an outdoor event like most people do in Nigeria..

There are short and long engagements to choose from. The engagement party can be held six months to one year before the wedding day. Back in the old days it was customary for the parents of the bride to plan and host this party. Nevertheless, couples of today choose to organize their own engagement party without involving their folks completely.

 You should not let the annoying element “stress” come between you and your happiness. There is a lot of planning to be done, it’s true.

All About Wedding Dresses For 2015

We are well used to the tradition of a bride in a long and modest maximum floor-length gown in any wedding. We also find it characteristic and traditional to have a veil covering the bride’s head until that moment when she says ‘I do’ when she can be unveiled to kiss the groom. Things have gone bolder in 2015. I’m talking serious traditional twists.

‘Less is more’ is becoming a popular philosophy. I still find it new and daring that the veil is slowly getting replaced, by less bulky headpieces which in essence cover less face. We see more tiaras, head beading as it was much more popular from the 1890s to the 1910s. Some go as far as donning Edwardian hats with feathers. Vintage is here! Dressing gowns are getting short too. Mmmmhhh  ‘Less is more’ for wedding gowns, talks of low cut neckline dresses. Look out also for short silk 50’s trend mini dresses that can go as short as just above the knee, with low backs and held together by bows.

Another emergent gown trend for the long floor-length gowns is the hold-tight-and-flare pattern where you find that the gown is figure hugging and follows the bride’s figure up to the knees and then flares out wide. In the name of vintage you should also expect to see interesting necklines, pearls or metal materials as well as gold colors.

Vintage has seen to the popularity of more lacy gowns too. Grooms and groomsmen are also seen wearing stylish feathers on the lapels of their coats in harmony with the advent of vintage.Whatever the case might be, this exciting, bold new dressing style has become more and more popular and fast so watch out for it too.

 This year you expect to see bright colors making wedding themes. Brides are keen this season to show off bright colors so look out for deep pink in flowers or dresses, or in floral archways as well as cake highlights or invitation cards. A pink flower means ‘I will never forget you’. Pink is sensational, the universal color of love: the lighter, sweeter side. Look out also for purple in its royal shades. Guest and family need to feel the joy of being part of these wedding events as they get together to see off loved ones in the next step of this journey of life.

Other colors hot choice selections are peach and aqua. These colors stir interest and enliven social interactions in a remarkable and exceptional way. For those going for much cooler feels, we see royal blue, cool reds and in some instances, rich enticing citrus colors, including yellow and orange.

Let your wedding fun begin with your colours and wedding dress!!!.
