Wedding Guide: Undergarment Study

Another important for your big day is Lingerie which can make you in shape under your beautiful gown. Here are some samples to say hello to the painless nip/tuck.. :D

Fitted, Low Back

For a gown that plunges deep in the back, get invisible support from a strapless bra with reusable adhesive cups. Below the waist, go for a seamless tummy-controlling thong.

Here is a sample from many bras I found:

Caress Strapless Bra - Jezebel (No. 22533) $27.00USD

Slinky, Open Back

When your back is at center stage, wear a self-stick backless bra for no-show support.

Here is the one that I love the most..

Very Bare Backless Bra - Sassybax (No. VB14) $78.00USD

One-Shoulder

A bodysuit with multiple strap or strapless options solves asymmetrical concerns. Or try a thigh shaper under unforgiving fabrics.

Here is the sample..

Strapless Minimizer Firm Control Body Briefer - Flexees (No. 3356) $53.00USD

Deep V Halter

This plunging bodysuit with halter strap stealthily supports while offering stomach and waist control.

I found this bodysuit..

Deep Plunge Firm Control Bodysuit - Dr. Rey Shapewear (No. SHAPE71) $40.00USD

Plunging Neckline

Stick-on bra cups work wonders. And if your backside looks a little flat, consider derriere-enhancing briefs.

Sample of silicone cups..

Flex Body Bra - Frederick's of Hollywood (No. 53142) $45.ooUSD

Strapless, Fitted

This strapless slip with built-in bra streamlines and offers just enough lift.

I found this perfect built-in bra shapewear..

Strapless Convertible Bra Slip - TC Fine Intimates (No. 4555) $66.00USD

Strapless A-line

A lightly padded and contoured seamless bustier will enhance your bust and keep your waist in check.

Ultra-lift Seamless Bustier Bra - Va Bien (No. 1503) $75.00USD

In fact, there are some silhouettes that I haven't talk about here.. but I will try to find more to show to you.. and next time I will match the undergarments with the gowns so you will understand and get an idea easily.. ^-^

Wedding Music: At Last

AT LAST - ETTA JAMES

At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last

Other Version by Beyonce' Knowles

Wedding Guide: How to throw a green wedding - Part 2

Source: Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine Winter 2008

Want to spend your big day with family and friends while saving the planet? It’s easy – and can be utterly elegant – when you follow these eight steps to an eco-savvy celebration.

(continued from Part 1, See Part 1 Here! - Click!)

Pay it back – At least some of your friends and family will have to travel to attend your nuptials. Before her wedding Denver bride Kim McLawhorn compensated for her guests’ expected fuel consumption by using Mapquest to determine about how many miles each person would be travelling by air or car. Then she bought carbon offsets from NativeEnergy, a Vermont company that uses these proceeds to fund cleaner, renewable-energy projects, such as wind farms. Buying carbon offsets won’t magically erase the globe-warming carbon dioxide your event will add to the atmosphere, but it is similar to a one-time donation toward a cleaner future environment – you can even donate in guests’ names if you’d like. “I feel on really good about making my wedding as green as possible,” says McLawhorn, who spent approximately $300 on carbon offsets.

Go local – Food and flowers grown nearly require less transportation – and thus fuel – and as a bonus are generally fresher. If they’re organic and pesticide-free, all the better. (The availability of locally grown produce varies by season and location; choices tend to be most abundant in summer or fall.) Use local vendors for other wedding services such as videography and music. Take advantage, too, of the decorating and tabletop items your venue has on hand, rather than having specialty items trucked in. “Our hotels generally stock at least five different colors of linens, and the larger ones often have an inventory of candles and holders, bandstands, dance floors, chairs, and chair covers,” says Andrea Testa Nacci, director of event management for Marriott International.

Give Earth-friendly favors – Skip the throwaway tchotchkes in lieu of a donation in guests’ names to an organization such as the World Wildlife Fund or the Rainforest Alliance. Or, if you’d like your guests to go home with a small keepsake, try tiny potted herbs, tree seedlings in biodegradable containers, or edible gifts such as fair-trade coffee or organic chocolate.

Recycle – Yes, you should ask your caterer to separate bottles and cans at the reception and to ferry the leftover food to a shelter. But there are so many other unexpected – and beautiful – ways to reuse items, says Anderson. She knows one bride whose Japanese mother-in-law created one thousand origami cranes to dress up the wedding venue; they now hang in the couple’s home as a particularly meaningful bit of décor. You can wear your mother’s gown – a lovely sentimental gesture, as well as a conscientious one – or a vintage dress rather than buying one that is brand-new, and you can repurpose your flowers as well. For one recent fall wedding, Lilly used the ceremony floral arrangements – white and ivory roses, hydrangeas, and camellias – at the reception. She simply added some foliage to the mix and lit it in such a way as to make it look altogether different. Whether they do double duty or not, consider donating your blooms. For a small contribution, an organization in New York City and Los Angeles called FlowerPowerFoundation.org will pick up your arrangements and deliver them to the sick and elderly. Besides the feel-good bonus of re-gifting beautiful flowers and benefiting the environment, you get a tax write-off. Check for similar charities in your area or call your local hospital or nursing home for suggestions on how to donate.

Now your wedding day will be the big green day for the world too.. ^-^
