Most brides never stop to think about the size of their wedding when choosing their bridesmaids because the emphasis is mostly placed on having people their close to participating in the wedding. While that is the goal everyone you're close to may not be able to participate and you'll have to balance between the size of your wedding versus the size of your bridal party. The size of your bridal party should be proportionate to the size of your wedding and the size of your wedding will also dictate how formal it should be. Formal weddings tend to be large, so you can have between 6-10 bridesmaid, the same amount for groomsmen along with your best man, maid/matron of honour, flowers girl and ring bearer. For semi-formal weddings which tends to be medium sized, you can have 2-5 bridesmaid, the same amount for groomsmen, along with your best man, maid/matron of honour, flowers girl and ring bearer. Informal weddings which are usually very small can have your mai...

Weddings fall into three main categories; formal, informal and semi-formal. The larger your wedding, the more formal it has to be and the more formal, is the more elaborate it will be. Factors that dictates the formality of your wedding are as follow: 1. Location/Venue (beach versus a banquet hall). 2. Attire (for you, your wedding party and guests). 3. Time of day (morning versus evening wedding). 4. Decor (this sets the ambience, linen choices, backdrop design, and centerpieces, all speaks to how formal your wedding is). 5. Food choice (finger food depending on menu can go either way). 6.Serving style (buffet versus a sit down dinner with several courses). Other factors that follow are the wording of your invitation, the design of other stationery and whether or not you have a seating plan with either assigned tables or seats. The formality of your wedding all depends on your personality because you could like things nice and simple or you ma...

Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? This superstition dates back to the Victorian era and is said to bring the bride good luck. The something old was meant to tie the bride to her family and her past, while the something new represented her new life as now belonging to a new family with the hope of good fortune and success for the future. The item borrowed was supposed to be taken from someone who was already a successfully married wife, so as to pass on a bit of her good fortune to the new bride. The colour blue, stood for love, loyalty and purity. Today we continue this tradition with full or part awareness of what it means and to be honest some of us still believe in this superstition, even though we know that marriage is built on love, trust, communication, fidelity etc. It should also be noted that nowadays it's white that stands for the colour of purity and not blue as it once was.

Will we be sharing the house work, if we both have jobs? 7. How will we resolve conflict? 8. Who will manage the finances? 9. What happens if one of us loses our job?...

Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? Arranged marriages are often cited when discussing the origin of the wedding veil. When daughters were considered a commodity to their family, a marriage was a way of sealing agreements between families and increasing assets. A Bride and Groom would likely meet for the first time on their wedding day, at the altar. The veil was used to obscure the bride's features, only being lifted after the marriage ceremony was completed. This was to keep the groom from backing out from the deal if he didn't like what he saw. Some historians say that Ancient Romans were the first to incorporate the veil into the wedding ceremony, believing the bride was vulnerable to enchantment, so she must be hidden from evil spirits. The Romans veiled brides in flame -coloured veils to actually scare off those spirits who were jealous of her happiness and seeking to disrupt the union. In modern times, generally we have some ...
