When it comes to a big ole’ southern wedding, most brides op for the traditional ball gown. If you aren’t into the bling and don’t feel the need to wear a tiara on your head, a classic ball gown may be a good choice for you. The gown featured below, Carolina Herrara collection, is a great way to have that princess look and feel without having your guest wearing sunglasses!

A wedding is unique in the fact that this is the one time in your life that you truly get to hand pick each person that you wish to surround you on your big day. Considering this is the case why would you leave out your most loyal friend of all….your pet. I’m talking dogs here people because lets face it everyone hates a cat. Seriously. There are several ways to include your furry friend even if your church or wedding venue has a strict NO PETS ALLOWED policy. You can still have your dog partake in the pre wedding pictures. Why should your loyal love miss out on the happiest day of your life? He or she shouldn’t and that is exactly why dogs are becoming more and more involved in the wedding day.

Flowers are always a great accent for your wedding but when it comes to your flower girl(s) sometimes simple is best.

It’s no suprise that the most common dish consumed by newlyweds in their first year of marriage is casserole. Straight out of the gate as new wives we all have big ambitions of cooking a made from scratch “home cooked meal” for our husbands each and every night,  and then life gets in the way and this whole domestic goddess thing doesn’t sound quite as glamorous as it first did. It loses its luster to say the least. What really happens is life. Life is what happens and you get busy at work and you have social obligations and the list goes on and on.  One thing that may help lighten your load is to get your husband excited about his new grill and toys that you registered for. Convince him that he is your grill master and without even knowing it you have just made your life a whole lot easier!

Now that you have gotten engaged and set the date, it is time to start working on all of the small details you must do, to actually pull this whole thing off. It sometimes helps to have a general theme or inspiration for your big day. Having a “theme” or “inspiration” helps your wedding planner, cake, and invitation designer to create the look that you are after.
