Destination weddings continue to grow in popularity.  From sandy beaches to quaint European cities, the location of your destination wedding impacts a number of choices.  For example, the dress you choose must fit the location of your destination wedding.  The best way to do this is by getting your dress ready locally before you jet set across the world for your big day.

Follow these tips for having your dream dress in your dream location:

The Perfect Dress:  Finding the perfect wedding dress depends on your ideas, dreams, materials and destination.  Just because you are traveling for your wedding doesn’t mean you can’t find the perfect custom creation locally!  Once you have the perfect dress for your big day, it’s time to get the perfect fit.  A flawlessly tailored wedding dress will accentuate your bodice in ways you never imagined.  Ask your seamstress to pack your dress into a garment bag and insert a cardboard form to help with traveling.

Traveling Without Worry:  With the perfect dress in hand, it’s time to travel to your destination!  Do not mail your dress or pack it in a checked suitcase because there is a chance it will get lost.  Decide beforehand if you want to take your dress on board in a garment bag or in a carry-on bag. If you choose a garment bag, ask the attendant if you can board the plane early to find sufficient space for the dress in an overhead bin.  If you feel comfortable asking, the flight attendant might even hang your bag in the closet for you.  If your dress is in a carry-on, add layers of acid-free tissue paper in between each fold to help prevent wrinkles.

Eliminate Wrinkles:  Once you have arrived with gown in hand, it’s time to get out any wrinkles the dress may have.  While you can always ask the venue for a reliable steamer or dry-cleaning service to get out wrinkles, you can safely do it yourself.  Hang your gown in the bathroom with the shower blasting hot water and shut the door.  The steam will naturally ease the wrinkles out of just about any fabric.  Just don’t let the dress get wet!

Ring in Spring 2015 with the biggest wedding trends of the year!

Before you look through hundreds of bridal magazines for the wedding of your dreams, take into account the upcoming trends that are sweeping the nation.  As one of the biggest days of your life, you want to look your best, wow your guests, and shine in photography!  In order to do this, know the popular trends to help make your wedding perfect!

Choosing THE Wedding Dress:  Some girls know what they want their wedding gown to look like when they’re ten years old… but the lucky ones get to try on countless dresses until the right style comes along!  Some popular wedding dresses this season include dresses with subtle coloring.  Barely there mints, pinks, crèmes, and more are finding their way onto the shelves.  If this trend doesn’t interest you, you shouldn’t worry.  There will still be plenty of shades of white for you to try on.

As for style and design, off the shoulder dresses, lace embroidery, high necklines, collars, and accouterments are making a trend.  Beach chic and boho glam style are also incredibly popular among younger brides.

Gorgeous Bridesmaid Styles: Pastels are traditionally popular for bridesmaids during Spring but vibrant shades are starting to make a trend!  Have bridesmaids try on colors like neon yellow, cobalt blue, or hot pink.  If you decide this trend is too bold for your taste, try dressing bridesmaids in a neutral color with a bold bouquet!  The pop of color will shine beautifully in photographs without taking attention away from the bride.

Also, dressing the girls in an array of pretty pastels is a fabulous idea that is currently trending!  Bridesmaids will love choosing their own individual color and/or style to wear!
