5 Thoughts for use of color in weddings

-By Every Blooming Thing

Welcome To BrideAccess.com's Blog. We hope you find what you are looking for. If not, please don't hesitate in contacting us. Thanks for visiting!

Thought #1:
A very current trend is the use of Tiffany blue with another accent color.  Just remember the issue for florist is there is no tiffany blue flower and white and cream are over used.  Here is an example of Tiffany blue used with shades of blue, such as Iris, and a complementary color such as Apricot or Lemon Yellow.

Congrats! You are the new proud owner of some Sexy Lingerie?

-By Blue Boutique

June 24th 2009

So, you’ve just become the proud new owner of some very sexy lingerie, the kind with lots of lace and elastic and maybe even a little beading. The only problem is you don’t know how to take care of it. Most of us have had a little practice in our lives owning delicate clothing we unintentionally ruined: that shrunken wool sweater, torn nylons that accidentally went through the wash, or your favorite silk dress which is now a spotted mess after bleeding color in the washer. Experience tells you that there’s probably a right and a wrong way to wash your lingerie.

Have no fear, just follow these tips and the only thing you’ll have to worry about is an over zealous partner tearing them off you.

On Focus – Trends in Wedding Photography

-By LatterDayBride

June 17th 2009

Trash The Dress
So what do you do with your wedding dress after the wedding? The standard treatment is to vacuum seal it and store it away in the hopes that one day in 20 years or so your daughter will want to wear it to her wedding (suuure she will). Some brides have a different answer – they trash the dress! For photos and video, of course.
 
While clearly not to everyone’s taste, the trend follows the logic that a bride will never really get a second wearing out of her dress, and many of them want to create a unique and indelible memory without having to worry about keeping the dress pristine.
“We’ve seen brides under water, brides in the mud, brides and grooms having paint fights and even one bride on fire!,” says Mitch Burt of ZumaPhoto. “But those are extreme examples – it doesn’t need to be that crazy to be unique. It’s really about creating, not destroying.”

Boudoir Photography – Your Chance to be His Supermodel

-By Definition Images

May 18th 2009

There has been a lot of talk about Boudoir Photography lately.  What is it and what can you expect at a photo shoot?  Read on to find out the facts about the hottest gift for your fiancé (and yourself).

What is a boudoir anyway?  The word “boudoir” traditionally means a lady’s dressing room, but boudoir photography is all about creating intimate and sexy pictures.  The photo shoot is private and the outfits can range from decedent and feminine lingerie to his shirt and tie.  Although boudoir photography doesn’t usually include nudity you can do “implied nude” images.  This is where you appear not to be wearing anything, but are strategically covered (psst, it’s not scary, we just tuck your straps under your arms).

Photographers

Wedding Photographers should be high on your list of priorities. You want to be able to remember the way you look on this most special occasion. Finding the right Utah wedding photographer may take a little research, but it will be well worth it. You want to make sure that your wedding photographer will capture you in the style you want and deserve.


Your wedding photographer will work with you on creating the feel and look you want. There are many wedding photographers but not everyone is a professional. The better your rapport with your photographer the better your pictures will turn out, and the happier you will be when you look at those pictures years and even generations down the road. Having a professional wedding photographer needs to be high on your priority list.

Wedding Dress

The all important wedding dress should be at the top of your to do list. You should allow plenty of time before the day of the wedding to find your wedding dress, as you may have to special order it and/or have special alterations made to your wedding dress. These can all take several weeks or even months to accomplish.


Make sure in choosing your wedding dress that you look not only for a style you like, but that you try on several style's of wedding dresses. The wedding dress you may like in a magazine may not suit your body style. Professionals in the wedding dress store you choose will be able to help you find the perfect wedding dress and make it fit you perfectly!

Utah Reception Location

High on your list should be choosing your Utah reception location. There are many factors involved in choosing your particular special reception location. Is your reception location determined by having it indoors or outdoors (climate pending), can you bring your own caterer, or is your reception location a full-service wedding planning location where they can include almost everything from flowers to cakes to center pieces.


Remember that your reception location is the back drop for your big day. Make sure it will accommodate your decorating taste and ideas. You want your reception location to be part of your unforgettable wedding. Indoors or outdoors it should bring everything together...colors, food, style everything and be an expression of you.

Flowers - Florists

Flowers have always been a romantic part of a wedding. When choosing the right flowers for your Utah wedding, consider your bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, flower girls, centerpieces, as well as other ideas you wish to use flowers in. Some flowers are more readily available than others depending on the time of year. Also, when selecting your colors, keep in mind the flowers you wish to use as part of your wedding. Not all flowers are available in all colors...although a newer trend is to dye certain flowers to accommodate the color scheme you have chosen.


Flowers are often associated with certain significance. Do a little research or ask the florist you have chosen to give you a run down of what certain flowers signify. Perhaps there are some flowers which will reflect an important value to you or feeling, which you can incorporate into your wedding theme. Flowers can speak the unspoken. Make sure to make flowers speak on your special wedding day!

Cakes

What flavor? What style? What kind? Cakes have evolved greatly over the decades to now be an active part of your wedding reception decor. The sky's the limit as far as flavors, everything from a chocolate cake...to carrot cake...to raspberry flavor. Cakes have taken on personalities with the use of colors to match your color scheme and using edible sugar flowers to match ones from your bouquet.


Make sure to look at lots of pictures of various cakes. You may be surprised to find cake styles you never would have thought of with a combination of designs which look almost too good to eat. Cakes can be one of the great centerpieces of your wedding reception. Let your imagination run wild...a wedding cake expert can do pretty much anything. Let them help you make the cake of your dreams. Utah wedding cake designers are some of the best anywhere in the country.
