Wear Lingerie To Your Wedding?

Kaviar Gauche, Berlin-based brand, unveiled a wedding dress collection sending one of their models down the runway in something that I wouldn’t even call underwear. It is what DailyMail named as a set of ‘diminutive sections of fabric joined together with a central strip’. The outfit looked more than weird. Who would want to wear it during the wedding ceremony? I would probably understand if it were suggested for the privacy of a wedding night. No… actually I wouldn’t.
Wedding dress is something we, girls, dream about since an early age. And when the right time comes nobody can ruin the drama of searching, trying on and fitting the important attire. So, it looks really ridiculous when a designer offers wearing lingerie as the outwear piece on your big day.

Wedding Accessories Ideas

Wedding accessories are a great way to help enhance your bridal look. Finding the right accessories to suit your style is important, as they can really help draw the ensemble together. There are many different wedding accessories to choose from, such as jewellery, hairpieces, shoes and the traditional veil. There are different accessories for different themes, and you must make sure that you pick the right ones to go with your look.


Every bride needs a great pair of shoes to complement their beautiful dress. You can get creative with your shoes so long as you choose something that you feel comfortable wearing, so you don’t stumble while walking down the aisle! Some brides prefer to wear flat shoes, while others are happy to wear higher heals.
The most versatile wedding accessory is jewellery. The jewellery you choose to wear should represent the chosen style of your look. If you have chosen to be the classic bride, along with your veil, diamonds and pearls will be the ideal choice for your jewellery. If you decide you want to be the bold bride, opt for bright and daring colours and wear bigger statement pieces.
For brides who want to dress their hair up, but not go to the full extent of a veil, hairpieces are a great way to accessorise. As far as wedding accessories go, a hairpiece is a simple yet stunning way to dress up your look. For a soft and pretty look try a single flower, or for a vintage look wear a bejewelled, feathered piece.


Veils are perfect accessory for the bride who wants to achieve a classic, timeless look. There are many different lengths that a veil can be, but this is a choice purely up to the bride.

Perfect Gifts for Your Bridesmaids

"Though it's the bride who's the star, all of the women who've supported her along the way should sparkle too," says Lori Hamlin, a celebrity makeup artist who's worked with brides for 20 years.

A Treat to De-Stress
Spending so much time and attention on a demanding bride can wear a girl out! Help your bridesmaids relax after the wedding with at least one item that promises to pamper and rehydrate. "Anyone who experiences an emotional event, stays up late, or drinks alcohol will benefit from hydrating treatments," says Hamlin.

Lip Balm
"A good lip balm will hydrate, smooth, and keep lip color on longer," says Hamlin. She says a quality balm will be absorbed into the lips and leave no sticky residue, so it helps your lips look healthy and smooth. This way, bridesmaids don't have to worry about dry or cracked lips -- even after lots of mingling and gabbing -- and lip color won't look faded in pictures. Tell your girls to put it on first, under lip color, and reapply throughout the day.


Mascara and Eyelash Curler
"Curling your eyelashes is an easy way to open up the eye without adding a lot of extra makeup," she says. As for mascara? "Go waterproof, since weddings always make us cry, and it wears longer in hot weather or while dancing."

Oil-Control Blotting Papers
After wearing more makeup in a day than they would in a week, your girls may start feeling greasy and self-conscious. "Blotting papers pick up oil, remove shine from the skin's surface, and refresh the skin without adding more makeup," says Hamlin.

Top 3 Valentine's Day Wedding Style Ideas

Planning a Valentine's Day wedding? Not sure how to pull off a Valentine's Day wedding with style? Flash forward hundreds of years, and you'll find that this year Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday, making the most romantic day of the year the perfect time to say I do. To get started, think about Valentine's Day and what it means to you. Look for inspiration from your own love story -- if you met on the ski slopes of Vail, incorporate cool blues and other wintry hues. Or take your decor cues from an ultraromantic destination you've been to, like Paris or Venice.


Valentine's Day is synonymous with pink and red. Depending on your style, you can go with this traditional palette or do something unexpected. For example, choose a classic black and white palette and subtly add hints of red or pink.


Valentine's Day is a day to indulge. Last year, $14.9 billion worth of chocolate was sold in America. For the actual cake, a modern heart pattern embossed into white fondant is a great option, or choose a red filling so that each slice will have a hint of color.


Don't forget to let your guests know how much you love them. Send guests home with something sweet, like chocolate truffles or chocolate-covered espresso beans, packaged in a creative way. Add a personalized card with a cute saying like, We're in love…with you! Thank you for coming.
