Summer Wedding Dress Trends - The Hottest Looks for Fashionable Brides

Another Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, and for those of us in the United States, it means the unoffical start of summer.  With summer comes the start of summer wedding season!  Did you know, more people still get married in the summer (particularly in June) than at any other time of the year?

If you're planning a summer wedding, there are certain things you need to take into consideration before you begin shopping for your wedding dress, including the current fashion trends, but most importantly, the styles that make you look and feel fabulous.  You also need to consider the special challenges that a summer wedding presents.  Read the article I just posted on TyingTheKnott - Summer Wedding Dress Trends - The Hottest Looks for Fashionable Brides for some ideas.  Take a look at this Pinterest board I created for some additional inspiration and ideas for summer wedding dresses.

Hot Trends for Summer Weddings

Summer has arrived with a bang this year here on the East Coast.  Just like the old saying - "If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it'll change," summer arrived well before the official first day with temperatures near 90 and high humidity.

With summer comes wedding season!  June is still the most popular month for couples to tie the knot.  As I browsed boards on Pinterest and Lover.ly, beautiful summer details can already be found in weddings.  From bold, colorful dresses, to rustic glam accents like lace, twine, burlap, plus lots of mason jars, summer wedding season is going to sizzle this year.

Read my article posted on the Top Wedding Sites blog about Summer Wedding Trends for more information on what to expect at weddings this summer, as well as how you can incorporate these details into your own wedding.  Browse through this Summer Wedding Trends Pinterest board that I created for some additional inspiration.

P.S.  Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.  Thank you to all who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice.

Tips to help ease the stress while shopping for your mother of the bride dress.

Shopping for a special occasion dress is stressful under normal circumstances, but when the occasion is your daughter's wedding, the pressure is really on!  Not only do you want to look perfect in front of family and friends (some of whom you may not have seen in years), but also because it's your daughter's special day.  Everyone will be looking back at these photos for the rest of their lives.  That's a lot of stress added to what is an already tense situation.  Add to that your daughter's thoughts on what she wants you to wear, the pressure of having to find your dress before the mother of the groom shops for her dress (wedding etiquette dictates that MOB shops before MOG) and things can become volatile pretty quickly.  Before you consider giving your daughter money to elope so you don't have to deal with any of it, take a deep breath and relax. Read this article for some tips on how to find the perfect dress while keeping your daughter (and yourself) happy and stress-free in the process.
