Something borrowed, something blue a vintage wedding dress (pattern) just for you.
Maybe etiquette keeps changing, but marriage ceremonies change only slightly over the years. A bride (of good taste) doesn’t want her wedding to be startling with innovation. Traditional is also magnificent. It should be beautiful, graceful and dignified. That doesn’t mean a fortune need be spent there are many shopping venues offering affordable wedding ceremony accessories, neither should she economize with pretentious substitutes. Simplicity is always best, always sophisticated.
Q: What’s considered a formal wedding?
A: One wear the bride wears a bridal veil and gown and has more than one attendant. The service may take place in a church, at her home, at a friend or family member’s home or in some suitable public place. There should be a space for guests ans an aisle for the ceremonial professional. P.S. The bride designates the place of the wedding.
Q: Who’s invited to the Wedding? The Reception?
A: Guests may be invited only to the wedding, only to the reception or to both. If the wedding is in a small church or chapel, ask intimate friends to the ceremony and the reception, and other friends only to the reception. If the marriage is in a big church and you wish to ask only close friends to a small reception, that’s fine.
Q: Who may wear a wedding veil?
A: Any bride, so long as she’s not been previously married. The groom’s status doesn’t effect what the bride may wear.
Q: What jewelry does the bride wear?
A: She may wear her engagement ring on her right hand, a strand of pearls, earrings, a pin or clip, but not bracelets or a watch.
Q: Does the bride pay for the bridesmaids dresses?
A: No, not she’s wealthy and the expense is no big deal. Otherwise bridesmaids pay for their own dresses. The bride however give bridesmaids and other attendants a lasting memento of the occasion-maybe jewelry(maybe a charm), a compact or some other special memento.
Q: Who pays for the expense of the wedding?
A: Traditionally, the bride’s family pays for everything, except that the groom provides the wedding ring, the marriage license, the bride’s flowers, boutonnieres for himself and the ushers, a corsage for his mother, gloves and ties and gifts for the ushers, the minister’s fee, his bachelor dinner, the wedding trip and a wedding gift for the bride.
Q: What are suitable gifts for the bride and groom to give each other?
