The song that will be playing as you pace dreamily down the aisle is playing like a broken record over and over again in your head. The only time you need to hear this song is at the wedding. How to tune it out at such a stressful and crucial time? Pace yourself – -and get FOCUSED! You don’t want to miss doing these last few significant things as the big day approaches…
Tail SpinorTo Do?
Before you get caught in the tail spin of stress, try and catch yourself to stop and see what exactly it is that is stressing you out. One way of doing this (and probably the BEST way) is to make a list. Make friends with your notepad and use some sticky post-its as your new guidance. This helps you keep track of appointment timings and the zillion other things you have to do. In order to organize all of this, the timeline with tips offered below helps to let you know when you need to be making the last call for things to get done and crossing them off.
(Notice how you feel when you cross things off your list…it feeds that good type of stress hormone that your body pumps to keep you motivated in getting something accomplished. You feel empowered and productive with the swift cross of ink flooding over a “to do” that is equivalent to the sound of a sigh of relief.)

YOUR LAST MINUTE LIST…before true love’s tick of the clock tower strikes at the time of the ceremony!
ONE MONTH BEFORE: You’ll want to confirm the appointment with hair stylists, make up artists, and whoever else would be part of the glamour team to transform you into a bride beaming with beauty on your special day! Book a facial and other date/time set-ups for skin maintenance (you don’t want to go on a date that is too close to the wedding day). Also, make sure to go for a trial run to test out different styles you were thinking about to see what makes just the right fit for you…and on you. Stick to a fitness regimen. Have a separate calendar for all dates/times to set aside for your personalized work-out agenda, including exercise classes. Exercising shouldn’t just primarily be to focus on your weight. Exercise is about energy…endorphins…feeling good. You want to feel your very best during this time in your life. And look it, as well!

Brides by body type: What’s your aisle style?
….And once you thought the mission was accomplished of you being so lucky enough in life in finding the ONE…the one person who suits you so well, your best friend, your soul mate…a sigh of relief is put on hold once more because you need find the OTHER ONE: your perfect wedding dress.
You may try on four or five gowns, still being unsure of which one you want. Exhausted and ready to give up for the day, your mother, sister, or best friend (or maybe all three!) will eye-ball one last dress that they beg you to try on. Reluctantly, yet with grace (because this is all about you!), you give in. After trying on the gown, you may turn and see your loved ones break down in tears. Then you turn and look at yourself in the mirror. Your reflection leaves you awestruck. You begin to cry…This is it, your moment…you found the one. It stunningly fits like a glove, and you finally feel like a gorgeous bride!
Sometimes your family & friends can see your strengths and flaws easier than what your own eye is capable of seeing. Notice how we take notice from a compliment of a stranger? When someone acknowledges or reassures us of something, an instant rush takes over our bodies. We are suddenly swollen with a moment of pure happiness and self-confidence. Let that someone be someone closest to you, and include them in your days of wedding dress shopping. Their eyes may see something yours miss.
The right clothing to suit our body types, the right or “perfect” wedding gown may not even be in our radar. We have a certain sense of style instilled in us and that is our taste in fashion that we usually stick to. This doesn’t mean that we should change our tastes, but to just become more aware of how to choose the proper dress and details that work with us and our bodies. A dress that fits is a dress closer to perfection. And don’t we all want to look perfect (our best) on our wedding day?

The bridal gown’s fabric affects both its beauty and price. The medium to low priced gown usually made from man-made, affordable fabrics such as polyester satin, polyester chiffon, and polyester organza.
When you are shopping for a wedding dress always ask the salesperson what is the fabric of the dress. The most popular bridal fabrics are: “satin”, “taffeta”, “chiffon”, “dupioni”, “brocade”, “Georgette”, “jacquard”, “crepe”, “crepe de chine”, “Organza” and “charmeuse”. Don’t assume that those fabrics would be made from natural fibers. You always should ask, “What is the content of this fabric?” If the answer is “Silk”, you know you are buying the queen of textiles, the most luxurious fiber in the world.
Silk comes in many different thicknesses and textures; it can be soft and shiny, or shiny and rough. The weaving and knitting of silk fabric may contain minor variations and irregularities that should not be treated as defects. Silk fabrics are always slightly off white because silk is a natural fabric.
Silk is one of the best bridal fabrics that is perfect to wear in any season. It is warm in the cool season, yet cool enough when it’s hot. Silk fabrics are usually lighter, more comfortable and breathable than man-made fabrics. It would be your choice if you have a Sensitive Skin. Silk has natural thermostatic properties and contains many amino acids that help moisture penetrate the skin (aid in absorption) and aid in skin healing.
If it’s always been your dream to have a silk gown but thought they were too expensive come to Aleana’s Bridal in Paramus, NJ, where 80% of our gowns are made from silk fabrics at a very affordable price. We proud of our silk bridal collection and confident that you will be able to find your special dress.
