Every bride will always want a dramatic dress designer wedding worthy of most input. Since the belle of the ball, it's only fitting that it be prepared for the role. While there are projects wedding gown that are just too much to bear for some brides, often not the case with wedding gowns.

From designer wedding dresses are created based on specific design principles, they are usually more elegant, tasteful and class. Designers create wedding dresses dress, not only good design but proper implementation.

Bodice is satin, but bustline is covered with intricate embroidery in a formal linear model, which trails around the waist corset top. The top of the dress is decorated with floral embroidery spread of equal distance deputy. All complex embroidery is further enhanced with beadwork, embroidery which gives three-dimensional effect that looks like jewelry.

tuesday remix: sister style

you know how i told you my baby girl was feeling a bit under the weather? we have had a few sleepless nights at our house this weekend. and yesterday, instead of the bbq we were supposed to attend with my sister in law and her boyfriend, we spent the afternoon in urgent care. it turns out mimi has a really bad ear infection...the worst one the doc had seen all day. poor little baby girl. i feel so bad for her. the doctor told me to expect another sleepless night. luckily he was mostly wrong. she only got up twice last night, and the first time was before i had yet gone to bed. the second time was just to give her some meds (which took some effort! imagine a squirming baby with tightly pursed lips, tears streaming, and her head turning every which direction to avoid said medicine.) and she went right back to sleep. phew! hopefully this means she is beginning to feel better!

anyway, let's talk remix. this week's item is a silence + noise shirt i bought at urban outfitters years ago (2008, if i remember correctly). it wasn't a style i would normally wear, but it was on sale and i thought it was just really cool. perhaps too cool for me as it has been sitting in my closet, unworn, since then. so pathetic. i hate when i do that. i broke it out for the remix to see if i could make it work...and i was also so curious to see how megan might style it. turns out i really like this shirt. it's not really an everyday, throw on and run errands type of item. but i could definitely see it dressed down for a summer bbq with friends or fancied up for girl's night out. i think i will keep it and try and incorporate it into some outfits this summer. and if i don't, it's gone for good. i promise!

Using a hairspray on straight hair has its benefits and draw-backs. While straight hair has an inherent need for hold and smoothness, some sprays can lead to damage that increases frizz and static electricity. On the other side of the argument, if you have curly hair and the purpose is to straighten your hair, a spray or mist is necessary to protect from humidity and holds curls at bay.
