Wedding, or bridal, showers are an important traditional part of the wedding process. It's a time for friends and family members of the bride and groom to come together and shower the bride with love, gifts for her new home and advice on how to have a successful marriage. It's a much needed day that makes her feel like a princess and relieves some of the stress from all the wedding planning chaos. The maid of honor normally throws the shower and begins planning it a couple months before to ensure everything is perfect and that it is a day the bride will never forget.
Sew a Wedding Dress Bustle
Making your own wedding dress saves the cost of labor and fitting charges. Although modern dresses come in a variety of styles, many brides still prefer traditional gowns with bustles. Sewing a bustle may seem harder than it actually is, since it relies on older construction methods you may not be familiar with. Does this Spark an idea?

Color a Wedding Dress
Although wedding gowns are traditionally white or ivory in color, some brides want to have a dress that is a different color. Other brides want to change the color of the dress after the wedding to have something that they can wear to other occasions. While coloring a wedding dress is something that should be done very carefully, it can be accomplished at home through a few steps. Does this Spark an idea?
Have a Fun Wedding With No Alcohol
People choose alcohol-free weddings for a variety of reasons. Sometimes religious beliefs prohibit the use of alcohol. Sensitivity to the needs of members of the wedding party that have issues with alcohol often results in an alcohol-free wedding. People also forgo alcohol at weddings to save on expenses, as the cost of adding alcohol to a catered event adds a substantial amount to the overall bill.
