DIY: Bachelorette Party Veils

por | | 0 comments


 (Image courtesy of Bachelorette.com)
We've all been to bachelorette parties where we outfit the bride in embarrassing shirts (Buy me a shot, I'm tying the knot!) and of course give the bride a veil to walk around in so everyone knows she's the bride.  Well thanks to this great DIY tutorials, you can make the bride her own bachelorette party veil which means you can make one that matches her leopard print dress or that is hot pink. The choice is up to you!

Miss Pug's blog has a great tutorial where she made her 80s themed bachelorette party veil in pink and orange tulle-of course, you can easily change the colors if you want to.  The DIY Wedding has a great tutorial for making a bridal veil so nice you could actually use it in the wedding.

Of course if making a party veil is not in the cards, you can always buy one.  Look at Bachelorette.com for a ton of bachelorette party veils like the one pictured above.

Title: EAUSPA PALM BEACH OPENING MARCH 1ST 2009

All 42,000 sq ft of Eau Spa is dedicated to pausing, playing and perfecting which means, forget the usual spa messages of omm and Zen, that is, unless you want to, as Eau Spa is all about spa-ing your way. Eau Spa instead offers a welcome respite from the standard spa ideology of abstinence with its messages of escapism and taking the time to treat your self. And what a treat it isFrom the jaw dropping moment that you enter the aptly named Wishing Well, you know your journey has begun. Its central courtyard garden is a water playground but forget water slides and screaming children, this is a homage to all things grown up; waterfalls you can sit under, perfect for cooling off in Floridas heat; hanging chairs that dangle over reflective pools; sundials that tell you to have fun and intimate spaces to take lunch with a glass of wine and lifes little pleasures. Watch out for their moon parties that will turn this decadent day spa into a hedonistic party by the light of the full moon.



In the modern baroque interiors (so very now), they have thought of everything that you think a spa should have and things you didnt even know you wanted until now steam, saunas, penguins (yes penguins!) and a huge bath lounge with a hot tub that invites you in to chat, unwind, play and most of all laugh. The hair and beauty salon is beautiful, bold and baroque and is rightfully described





Men are not forgotten with a tailored list of treatments just for them and for the ultimate in luxurious, feel good make sure you book a traditional mens barbers shave. And who could forget the shop or the BEAUtique as

they like to call it. Its filled with all your essential beauty buys including Elemis, LTherapie, Eau Spas new product line and a quirky mix of desirable gifts, sourced from around the world, calling out for you to take

them home. Its worth visiting for just this alone!



If you are looking for a more shared experience for romance or a party (perfect to treat that bachelorette before her big day) then book one of their signature Garden

Villas. Private treatment villas that can be customized according to your mood with colored lighting, aromotherapy and music.



The real wow factor is the private garden that comes with it where you can book in that ultimate luxury ... time. All of the garden villas come complete with the perfect escape; an outdoor roll top bath that can fit 2 or an outside shower, hanging chairs, beds to lounge and plenty of time for lunch,. All this and there is only the sky to distract you!



If, time or cost are an issue, than Eau Spa doesnt let you use it as an excuse to neglect your body as they have the perfect solution in their DIY body treatment at the Scrub and Polish bar. Take a place at the bar and let your scrub mixologist talk you through the benefits of the ingredients on offer. Choose your favourite scent from the 4 key scrub bases be it Vanilla and Ginger, Citrus and Eucalyptus, Lavender and Mint or the

signature Eau Spa scent Green Tea and Lemongrass and then pick from the many add ons and watch as your scrub is whisked, mixed and blended into your own design,

custom made for your skin. Take it away with some luxurious body butter, body mist & a loofah and just follow some simple directions to apply in the Spas steam, sauna, heated benches and showers. Oh and call an attendant if you are having trouble scrubbing those hard to reach places like your back! The scrub and polish package gives you a full days pass to the Spa with use of all the spa facilities and is a great gift to spend time with friends.



However, if you are looking for the ultimate in pampering and one to brag to all your friends about, then choose from the signature Bejewelled Collection. Exclusive to Eau Spa, these deliciously sinful treatments use platinum as their main ingredient combined with the healing properties of Diamonds, Rubies and other precious gems to make your skin literally sparkle! The collection has facials, massages and the magnificently titled Diamonds-on-the-palms-of-her-hands manicure and Diamonds-on-the-soles-of-her-feet pedicure to make sure that you wear your brilliance out of the jewellery box.



With mothers day fast approaching, now is the time to treat someone or even yourself, but dont let this be your only excuse to visit this magical place, Eau Spas zest for life is infectious and in dark times such as these

who doesnt need a little magic in their life.



To book Eau Spa, please call 561 540 4960

THE FINE ART OF CUSTOMIZING A BRIDAL GOWN

por | | 0 comments
Hi Everyone and happy holidays! I'm Amy-Jo Tatum, editor of Bride Chic and I'm so happy to be guest blogging here at Weddings Fresh. Today we're talking fashion. Since my last visit back in Fall when we explored trends, so much has happened . . . We're going through changes in leadership as well as the economy that will influence everything we do from buying gas to getting married. One big change in the wedding arena is . . . Brides are searching for new ways to economize while keeping their 'chic factor' going . . .
More are opting for the simple budget-conscious gown then taking it to the dressmaker or designer to get it personally customized. So how is customizing your gown different than a custom made gown? A custom gown is made from scratch, that is, you and the designer working with a pattern and raw cuts of fabric to create it from the ground up. Customizing a ready-made gown is different. It involves remodeling and/or embellishing one already put together. It can be store bought, sewn or inherited as long as it's fairly basic and free of mass adornment. However you come by owning this gown, once it's finally delivered suppose you plan on adding a detachable train to the waist and heirloom lace to the bodice. Those two details if integrated, would make the gown ideal, distinctively yours. Customized.
THE FINE ART OF CUSTOMIZING A BRIDAL GOWN
Remember, the whole premise is you start with a basic dress and work from there . . . . . . . So where to shop for this basic dress if you don't have one? Check out the one above. I'd have to say Isaac and Target got this 100% silk Harlowesque number right on target (no pun intended) at a shocking $64.99."No way!" you say. But you heard it right: that's $64.99. Heck, and I thought it was a helluva steal at 129.00 before it went on sale. And admit it, accessorizing this little stunner would be a pleasure with its endless possibilities . . . which, my dear, is up to you now . . .
Below are some simple gowns in 100% silks by known designers that would make great starting points for a customized gown.

J. Crew has been on fire the past couple seasons, bringing out classically cut gowns in high quality fabric with lower than norm price tags. With a combo like that how can they miss?

Here's Ann Taylor's classic strapless A-line Deb Dress all ready to be adorned.


THE EMBELLISHMENTS AND ALL THOSE DESIGN DETAILS


Finding how to integrate all the design details you want isn't all that difficult. If you're going through one of those decision dilemmas just log onto Etsy and shop for ideas. Their designers have developed some of the most beautiful accessory and design attachments beyond anything you'll ever run across in any salon or boutique. On Etsy you'll find boleros, shoulder swags, lace collars, detachable over skirts, blouses and-- believe it or not--these lovely angel wings?. . .

Who says you can't have it both ways. This is a basic dupioni sheath under a full skirt of silk tulle that hooks on and off easily.

This gorgeous shoulder swag of pink rosettes suddenly turns this strapless bodice asymmetrical and
stunning.

This lace over blouse is a beautiful addition to a strapless sheath. While lace is expensive, with the right designer, a little bit can go a long way . . . .


The above creation was a pleasure to customize. The gown is a simple sheath with criss-cross straps. The addition is a silk organza train dappled in rose petals and silk florals

FINDING HELP

The biggest concern most prospective clients have is, "How and where do I find expert help?" Start within your own network. You've heard the best place to find someone is through word of mouth. Usually referals come from guests actually getting a close up look at the bride's dress at a wedding. Sometimes it's a tight network of friends passing info on, other times a friend knows a friend who knows a friend.
SALONS. Bridal salons and specialty stores sometimes employ custom designers or dressmakers either in house or as outside contractors. Depending on how they are set up, sometimes they’ll give a referral if it doesn’t interfere with the flow of their business.
There are a few salons, typically the boutiquey smaller ones,that will do some sort of customizing if you buy a gown there. My final words on this: Customizing is better left to specialists and sometimes a salon can recommend you to one. If you plan on customizing once your gown is delivered, get advise on whether the alterations should be factored in with the price of customizing

CONSUTLTANTS. Bridal consultants or planners are an excellent source of referrals and usually know who’s truly expert in the area by years of working with them. Some consultants are willing to work on an hourly basis or for a small referral fee.
FASHION EDITORS. Fashion or wedding section editors in regionals can be helpful if you reach them directly or run across their editorials on bridal wear. Most newspapers feature a spread on weddings twice a year. Here, private designers and dressmakers are sometimes featured or listed. Ask for back issues.
YELLOW PAGES. Before the internet, this used to be the first and last place people look. After word of mouth, this is the best and easiest way to find a dressmaker (not designer) in my opinion.

PRICE
I wanted to get another designer's opinion on this and I'm glad I did. Lena Kanter of Kanter Fashion Design Studio in Chagrin Falls, Ohio specializes in formal and bridal wear. When I asked what she'd charge for a detachable train, she claims her price would depend on the type fabrics used and degree of complexity of the customization. Some are so intricate with rows of unusual pleating or say, layers of inside crinolines; the cost could run neck and neck with some higher end wedding gowns; others like the photo above that I've done are simpler, panels of gathered organza attached to a cluster of purchased silk florals. That particular customization cost my client about $375.00 (excluding fabric). Shoulder swags, lace overlays, gauntlets and collars run a little less, again depending on the detail of the customization.

Finally, once you're through customizing your gown, you'll get that first glimpse of yourself in the mirror. What you'll see yourself in is the equivalent of a custom made gown, one-of-its-kind and like no other in the world . . . yours.

Portrait of a honeymoon

por | | 0 comments
I think most people will agree that the honeymoon is one of the best parts of your wedding. Let's face it, after all your hard work, it's the payoff (aside from the happy, life-long marriage of course). You and your love get to take off on a trip by yourselves and just bask in the glow of being married.

How do you decide where to go? Many factors (probably most importantly budget) can dictate your choice. For my husband and I, our criteria were:

1. Europe (for the historical tourism).
2. Somewhere we'd never been before.
3. Somewhere we could get some beach time.
4. A place where we had some knowledge of the language.

For our honeymoon, that spelled a trip Portugal. We rented a car and traveled from Sintra, to the Algarve and Lisbon. It. Was. Awesome. The best trip of my life so far, and at least once a week for the last 17 months I've turned to Jim and said "Let's go back. Seriously, like, right now". Sigh. Hopefully we will someday.

Portrait of a honeymoon
Our first night in Sintra, the "medieval city". I just loved our hotel, the Palacio Seteais. We arrived earlier in the day and had to wait a few hours to check-in, so we headed to the hotel restaurant and ordered a typical Portuguese meal for lunch, bacalhau (dried salt cod) and vinho verde (literally 'green' wine, made from very immature grapes). Yum. Now Jim might tell you that at this point I was falling asleep and ever so-slightly sulky, but he's totally lying. Well, exaggerating, anyway. In my defense I was exhausted, jet-lagged and somewhere on our flight I managed to come down with a pretty nasty cold. Illness aside, the best part of day one was when we finally made it to our hotel room and realized we'd been given the honeymoon suite, where they'd left us champagne, strawberries and doces de ovos (egg yolk sweets).

Portrait of a honeymoon
Things were looking up the next day as we had an early breakfast on our balcony. Sintra is situated in the misty hills and the views were amazing. I remember while we were eating the wind picked up a bit and revealed a huge castle that had been obscured by the clouds. . .right in front of us. Beautiful!

Portrait of a honeymoon
Then came more sniffles. Followed by sneezing, coughing and hacking. In which Jim proves his ability to really speak Portuguese. If you can walk into a pharmacy in a foreign country and say "Do you have nasal decongestant?" in another language, then I'm calling you fluent. No arguments.

Portrait of a honeymoonWe took a day trip to Fatima to see the shrine and basilica.

Next stop: The Algarve. This (with some cropping) was the view from our balcony at our hotel, the Almansor. Three days and three nights of sun and crashing waves. This picture has been my computer background for said 17 months. Not exactly helping me get over the experience.

Portrait of a honeymoonThe view from our final hotel, the Dom Pedro Palace. We were pretty beat after the long week and had to get up really early to catch our flight home. So truthfully our time here was was spent looking out this very window, exclaiming over the really cool bathroom, ordering room service and sleeping.

I have to admit, at the time we were under the impression that by heading to Portugal, we were going on the most unique honeymoon ever, but we weren't quite that slick. While we were in line for the rental car I struck up a conversation with an American couple behind us. Not only were they also newly-weds, but we'd gotten married on the same day, in DC, and our new husbands had the same occupation. So much for blazing a trail!

Sniffling aside, I loved every second.
