The most difficult thing about a bustle is deciding which type you want for your wedding dress: you can choose either the over bustle or the under bustle. Then you may create the bustle yourself or simply hire a seamstress.
The over bustle (or ballroom bustle) is a common bustle where the train on the wedding dress is pulled up and hooked or buttoned to the outer part of the back of the dress. It allows the bride to keep her train from dragging on the floor once the ceremony has ended and the reception has begun. This form of bustle would work well on a dress with no embellishments on the top part of the train because it will cover or hide anything in this area. The creation of this type of bustle should be done by someone will a good knowledge of sewing.
The under bustle (or French bustle) is the preferred choice for a bustle. If the bride is going to be very active after the wedding, this bustle is best. Although the French bustle has more volume, it's a very beautiful display for a dress that has beading or embellishments at the base of the waistline. The under bustle is secured by tied ribbon from the area between the lining and dress skirt.
Design Double Wedding Programs
There is no better way to make marriage nuptials more memorable for your guests than a double wedding. Sisters, cousins, or best friends who find their wedding dates close together may want to combine resources and have a double wedding. While there are numerous details to be determined for such an event, don't forget to carefully outline your double wedding ceremony in a program for your guests.
Plan a Winter Wonderland Themed Wedding
When I think of a winter wonderland scene, I envision an old fashioned frozen pond with people dressed warmly in sweaters, hats, gloves and mittens ice skating on it. Snowmen have been built alongside the pond, icicles drip from the trees and it makes me want a hot cup of cocoa and a roaring fire to go home to. This is one nostalgic scene of a winter wonderland. You could take this scene and use the elements to create your own winter wonderland theme wedding.
