Dress Up to Commit for a Lifetime

Although marriages are said to be made in Heaven, the preparations for it are completely temporal. The most important part of any marriage ceremony is the bridal accessories. Nowadays, it is a trend to have theme parties. A theme serves to invigorate a party. So dressing up to that theme is very essential.

Dressing up for theme wedding parties

Some innovative themes and bridal wedding accessories to go with it are as follows:
  • A Fairy Tale Wedding – Bridal accessories are very essential to enhance the theme. Such weddings would require the right kind of ambience. And the bridal costume can lend the particular feel to the setting. Some of the themes are that of Cinderella, Snow white and the seven dwarfs, and Sleeping beauty. For a theme like Cinderella, hairpieces, flowers, sparkling beads are a must but most important of all is a pair of glass slipper. Snow white and the seven dwarfs would be quite a challenge because apart from ball gown and tiaras, one would also have to organize seven dwarfs. Dressing up Sleeping Beauty would also be a challenge since she would not be sleeping in case it is her wedding. So it would take up a lot of one’s creative potentials.

Coral looking flowers, laces, bouquets shaped like shells, with the color of flower like particular fish, jewelries made of pearls, shells or beautiful beach pebbles are some of the ideas of bridal accessories. The wedding rings can be placed in seashells. Instead of wood or twig baskets, the flower girls can carry seaweed baskets.
