Most vendors have done tons of weddings, and likely have tons of photos & examples to show you. So, always ask your vendors to show you samples of their work so you can get a better understanding of their style.

Most florists will do a mock up bouquet and centerpiece based on your requests, and you can make any adjustments from there.
As for your DJ/Entertainment, you can ask to see videos or listen to samples of their previous work.
Other vendors you can ask for photos/samples from are: photographers, videographers, wedding cake bakers, hairstylists, makeup artists, caterers, event decorators, venues, and even wedding planners.

Ill- Fitting Clothes
Better to wear an outfit that is tailored to suit you, rather than anything that feels or looks too tight or too short. Wearing short skirts and dresses that will give you a hard time sitting give a wrong impression of you.

Jeans
Even if you will wear them as parts of your work attire, staying away from jeans at an interview is smart. They are casual and comfortable but not professional.

olors
Don’t wear bright colors. Stick with the basic, a black, blue or grey suit.

Loud Makeup
Tone down on your makeup, keep it simple and natural

Obvious Bras
Always wear a nude bra under business attire because they rarely ever show

Hats
It either distracts the interviewer or prevents the two of you from making eye contact

Are you dating someone who you have to initiate contact with all the time? To a man this would be an obvious sign of disinterest. Yet we women like to make excuses maybe he is busy, he has a lot on his plate, or anything.

We refuse to accept the obvious, why? I am saying this for me as much as for you. Ladies stop being in denial he just doesn’t want you. I know it sounds harsh but reality is often harsh and not sweet at all.

A lot of times we simply just do not want to be left feeling unwanted. If all he offers is sex move on, no sense in adding another unnecessary notch on your belt. In most cases, he is getting more than he is giving. Quit holding onto someone who was never joined to you.

He told you in so many words he would never be yours. All he can offer is this and that. You deserve better than this and that you have to know that. Walk away with your dignity intact. It hurts like hell when you desire more than he does. Especially, when you all have known each other for quite some time and he only pursues you to do you. All that energy on a momentary fix. It is so belittling like that’s all you see in me. Yet he says there is more yet his actions prove it is just the physical. Keep your cookie to your damn self. He is so not worth it. Once you deem him unworthy move on without any qualms. He will just keep on till he can poke somebody else.

No love lost and no more notches added to your belt. Stop settling for less than the best. Always remember this too shall pass and the best is yet to come. Yes ladies this message is for us. Let him go!

I am going to take my own advice. I am going to let this thing go no matter how much it hurts. I know this means going back to the drawing board but it is time to put my pen down for a while. Obviously, this thing is not working for me. I need time off. It gets lonely but we cannot fear being alone more than being with someone who is unworthy of our time and attention.

Just getting married doesn’t change a spouse. If your boyfriend was a liar, marriage won’t make him an honest man. If your girlfriend cheated, marriage won’t make her a faithful wife. People change because they want, not because they’re married.



Wake up each morning vowing to make the decision to love your spouse no matter what. When you feel anger or negativity, look at your spouse and remember your decision to love.

Write and leave surprise “ Thank You’’ notes. You will be surprised, how powerful these little acts of gratitude can be in making your husband or wife feel special. These can make their day. You can hide a note somewhere for your partner to discover, or send a quick text message on your way to work, or shoot a heartfelt email, to simply say “Thank You”

our search for the perfect bridesmaid dresses. This part of the process should be a fun experience for you to hang out with your best girlfriends and talk style. The process can seem a little daunting when you mix different personalities, conflicting schedules, and unique style preferences among friends. Before dialing up the gals and booking your first bridesmaid appointment, answer these important questions.
How much time do I have?

You should typically allocate a total of 5 1/2 months before the wedding date to complete the process: about 3-4 months to wait for the manufacturer to produce the gowns, and 6 weeks before the wedding to have the dresses altered if necessary. If you stick to this timeline, you should also have some cushion left just in case there are any hiccups in the plan. Many salons will help select the right dress and manage logistics between the bridesmaids and the manufacturer. Some retailers offer an online service where all your girls can place their individual orders on their own, streamlining the process. However you choose to order your dresses, remain aware of your timeline.

How much can my bridesmaids afford?

While you may have expensive taste, keep in mind that your girls are already making a financial sacrifice to be a part of your wedding. It is typical to expect your bridesmaids to pay for their dresses (or at least half the total cost), so be courteous enough not to ask them to spend an arm and a leg and a big toe on a dress. Your bridesmaids may also appreciate you chipping in to pay half or 25 percent of the cost to help out. Just be mindful of price as you search for dresses.

What are the best colors for my wedding theme and season?

You can select your color theme and consider the time of year for your wedding. For example, darker greens, purples, and golden shades look great in the Fall and Winter. Pastels and highlighter colors work well in Spring and Summer. You should also plan for colors that will not minimize your presence as the bride, but instead help you to stand out among your wedding party. If you were to wear an ivory wedding dress, and then put your bridesmaids in beige, you might be later disappointed when you look back on pictures of you blending in with the group. Instead, you’ll want to reminisce, and see yourself as a shining star.

1. Invest in Shape wear

By now you’re probably tired of hearing about Spanx and the other gazillion types of stretchy devices that promise to shave off of pounds, but here’s the thing: They really work. At its core, the right piece of shape wear works as a means to help distribute bulges, and define your waist when wearing body con dresses, clingy skirts, tight pants or evening gowns.


2. Wear All Black

Using one color to enhance a slender illusion is the oldest trick in the book, and for a good reason: It helps create a long vertical line. While wearing head-to-toe black is the most effective and eternally chicest option, other darker hues work well too, such as navy, oxblood, and green.


3. Wear High-Waist Jeans

They can trick the eye into thinking you’re leaner by elongating your lower body. Be sure to make the elevated waist visible by tucking in a tailored blouse, tee, or opting for a slightly cropped top. Don’t choose garments with a super high-waist that button up or have an elastic waistband. Instead, go for a rise that hits directly above your belly button and has a zipper fly.
