Are You an October, November, December or January bride
Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under wedding
Winter months are a great time of year to get married. The nights are drawing in and everywhere starts to feel really cosy.
October brides can still get away with light and often strapless dresses as October days can still be quite warm. Equally, if you marry before the end of the month, you will still officially be in the ’summer’! If it gets cool in the evening you could wear a light stole or pashmina to keep yourself cosy. In terms of colours, you may be inspired by Autumnal tones of orange, golds and browns. Aubergine and purple colours also look fantastic at this time of year. Although most Octobers are warm, watch out for the odd rain shower; invest in a cute bridal umbrella just in case!
November brides are guaranteed to be fiery ladies and there is no excuse for not ending your evening celebrations with a fabulous fireworks display. Depending on the time of day you are marrying, the air is much cooler in November and it really starts to feel quite wintry. Therefore, best to go for a warmer bridal gown, or one that at least has a matching bolero or shrug that you can take off indoors. Unless you are blessed with naturally dark toned skin, skin can look paler and wintry by the time November comes as holiday tans have long gone.

Posted on April 26, 2008 - Filed Under wedding
If you are planning a wedding, there are hundreds of things that you are thinking about. You are thinking about the colors, the food and the music. But, are you thinking about the cost? Are you worried that you just will not have enough? Are you planning to pay for the wedding later? While you do need to worry about all those other things, it is important for you and your spouse to sit down and talk about what is going to happen at your wedding financially. Having a wonderful wedding also means having an affordable one.
Do I Need To Skimp?
Many individuals think that they need to have a cheap wedding to afford it. The fact of the matter is that you do not. You can find everything that you want and have to have at lower prices most of the time. And, you can plan your wedding to be what you want and not go over board. Here are some tips.
Plan a budget. The most important aspect of the wedding planning is doing the budget. If you plan to spend $1000 on a wedding dress but find one that is several hundred dollars more, you’ll need to give up something else, look for another dress or you’ll need to make that extra money.
Credit card purchases. One of the most financially problematic things that any couple can do when entering a marriage is to start out with lots of debt. Whenever it is possible, make your wedding purchases with cash. If you are planning to have a home, you’ll need to make sure that your credit stays in good standings as well.
Realize the benefits of spending less. When you think that you are going to have a bad wedding because you can’t spend a ton on it, that’s just the way it will turn out. But, if you plan a budget and look for ways to keep your purchases in check, you’ll be able to use that money for other things like a great honeymoon or an investment in a down payment for a home.
Yes, the wedding is important but look towards your future as well.
