When it comes to picking a dress for all your bridesmaids, you will want to pick something flattering for all your girls. One dress to keep in mind is a dress with an empire waist and a flattering strapless neckline. This type of dress will look good on most body types. We found one we love at sarahseven.com. It is a silk-chiffon dress with a pleated bust and flower. Empire waist flows down from pleats and comes in many colors. Sarah Seven has plenty in stock and ships within 14 days.
For those hot outdoor weddings, your guests will want something to keep them cool. We found 2 in 1 custom program fans! One side of the fan says the bride and groom's names and the other side gives details of the wedding ceremony. These programs have a handle and can be used as a fan to keep your guests cool. We love this idea, plus it will keep costs down since its a 2 for 1. Check them out on riflepaperco.com.
We found the new wedding workout for you! The new trend is to look long and lean, not muscular. Boxing classes are a popular way to getting long and lean. Skip the jump roping as it gains more muscle in your legs, but if you can hop in a boxing class, start doing one now! And interval cardio is a must. Get your heart rate up, then slow down, then rev up again and slow down. Keep this up for at least 25 minutes. This will boost your metabolism, allowing for a greater calorie burn. So next time you are on the elliptical, select hills! If you are going for long and lean, there are a long list of work out no-nos, 2 of them include lunges and squats. If you really want to shed some pounds, do a variety of work outs - vinyassa yoga, run, cardio machines, circuit train. Just keep mixing it so your body doesnt get too adjusted. Most importantly, remember to limit alcohol, sugar, and salt if you dont want those added pounds with you on your big day. Good luck!

Now that you are engaged, dont forget to send save the dates out! So many of us are busy months in advance. If you want to secure your guests' attendance, send out save the dates. General rule of thumb is you can send out your save the dates eight months prior and formal invites 8 weeks before the wedding. This will allow time for people to save money to travel to and from your wedding, save for a hotel if needed, get time off from work, and make the necessary arrangements.

We found centerpieces for your rehearsal dinner and/or wedding. If you want to get the "wow" factor then take a look at these simple but elegant centerpieces. Use long, clear cylinder vases, different heights, 3 to a table. Each one can have different flowers or do them the same. For instance, you can use calla lilies in one, cover with water and set a lit votive on top, use limes in another, and dendrobium orchids in another, all with lit votives on top. Dont forget some glass marbles on the bottom of the vases too! Gorgeous! You can even do all this yourself at a local craft store and florist.
