Bride Changing Mind ?

Do you ever have this feeling that everything is going all wrong ? I had really clear idea about how i will look on our wedding day.  No worries, no stress... At this particular moment there is a bit over a month time before the wedding day and suddenly everything goes upside down and now i feel huge doubts about everything. Well maybe not everything, but the hairstyle and hair accessories for sure. I paid good money for my hair accessory, so i just can't decide not to wear it - or can i ? Hairstyle changing is suppose to be easily done, but if i change it ... What kind of hairstyle will i have ? And should i try find new hairdresser or is the one i found already good enough ? I feel so confused. I don't want to look silly on my wedding day, i want to look fantastic!

Then i worn my wedding dress last time in November! What if it isn't as good looking on me as i remember it ? What if i will hate it ? What then ?

I think this doubts are because the wedding is getting so close and i know that if i want some changes to be done, i need to make them right now or it will be too late. Who would have guessed that i would want a perfect wedding day ?

Bridezilla time , huh ? :)

Wedding Shoes - Part 1

I never thought that wedding shoes will actually be the most stressing thing in my bridal look! I expected to have huge difficulty in finding a dress, deciding on my hairstyle and flowers. But no, those all went so easily and smooth. And the shoe dilemma came. I actually had couple of shoes in my mind before i went to find a wedding dress and when i fall in love with the wedding dress, and then found out that all the shoes i wanted - had too high heel. I never consider myself very tall only 172 cm ( 5'8" ), so it came as a surprise for me that i can wear shoes not higher than 7 - 7,5 cm ( 3 3/4 inches) with my wedding dress. I don't know about bridal stores in your cities, but here it seems that all the wedding shoes are mostly 8 - 12 cm ( about 3-5 inches ). 

So what a bride like me should do ? I do not want to cut my dress shorter and wear flats and i can't add extra inch to my wedding dress...  This bride decided to try find something in the wild wild web :) And i found Minna Parikka white shoes and was so extremely happy as they were said to be about 7,5 cm heel. So i ordered them...

But when they came here i found a huge disappointment.. I actually shouldn't be so surprised as the heel does look kinda high even tho online store said that heel is about 7,5 cm. But when they came i measured the heel and it was actually about 10 cm ( 4 inch ).  I thought i would cry when i measured.. they were so adorable :( But anyway i need to start searching for some other shoes and hope that the heel height will be accurate this time. Honestly I'm little scared that i won't find what i like and in right height :(

This ones i consider now from Brandos

I like this style a lot. I think they would compliment my wedding dress really well. If something critical to say, is that I'm not sure that the fabric and the quality in this shoes will be good. But you won't know if you won't try. Was it so ?

One of the most cute looking shoes I've ever seen! Totally bridal looking, but they are showing toes, and I'm not too happy to show them. But yeah i love this ones !

No so sure about this shoes. There just something that doesn't let me right away to say " Yes those i want!". But as the wedding day coming closer and closer i decided to try be less critical and just try things. Who knows, maybe they will look stunning when i see them life, and they have the best heel height. If i can trust any website and their heel height measurements anymore :)

Not sure about wearing sandals and showing my toes. Then again i think this shoes could definitely wear after the wedding as well, which is an important part in my mind.  The flower "diamond" decoration is really beautiful.

Basic white shoes.

I'm simply in love with this shoes! But i just don't know if they come on time for our wedding.. Aren't they stunning ? <3 American Duchess

Dress of April - Butterfly Wedding Dress

 May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun,
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.”
~Irish Blessing

As summer is on its way i thought something very bright and colourful would be the dress type of the month. So dress of April is a butterfly dress. This is something for those brides who would like something different for their wedding day.  I am actually little bit sad now as i found this type of dresses just now after I'm already having the wedding dress in my closet.

If you do not want to be an actual butterfly on your wedding day, you might like butterflies on your wedding dress.

Butterflies represent rebirth and a new beginning, and as we know the marriage is one of the beginnings.

Bride in a Wedding Dress Photos

When you are going to someones wedding, there is one thing you wait to see the most. That is the bride when she is walking down the isle, and of course her wedding dress. The wedding dress is usually really expensive and brides stress about getting the right one. For some finding wedding dress was an easy thing to find, right the first dress from the rack. But for some it could be a very depressing search. In the end it doesn't matter if it was hard or easy journey in finding the wedding dress. What really matters is that the bride will put on the most gorgeous dress she will ever wear in her entire life. At least for most of us brides this is truth.

Think about all the money spend on one dresses, and they are worn only once, for one short day which will clearly end too fast! That i is why i think that every bride needs LOTS of photos of her and her beloved dress! To be reminded of how beautiful her dress and bride herself was! Here are some ideas for your bridal look shoot.

One of the most beautiful photos is possible to have while taking photos somewhere in the nature. Near the river or just somewhere at your favorite childhood spot. Do not think about where everyone else is taking photos, but think which places possibly are important to you, as they will give you so much more and possibly help you relax and look great in the photos. Remember that what you are thinking and feeling will affect on how you look on the wedding photos.

Romantic Wedding Bags

When you think about how traditional bride should look like. The first words that coming to my mind is romantic, ethereal, girly, lovely... It doesn't mean that today's bride should look that way, but if you feel that you want to be all of those, then maybe the romantic type of a wedding bag will help you achieve the desired look.

This bridal clutch bag is romance in its purest form. It is made of an white material and wrapped around with a layer of ivory tulle and adorned with pieces of Alençon French lace and organza flower and hand beaded fresh water pearls all over the bag.  The handle of this bag is made of a string of pearls, strung with a knot between each pearl just to give it a finished vintage romantic look.
