Black, White & Pink Wedding
At a recent wedding in CA, the well co-ordinated ceremony took place in a garden and the dress colors of the bride, the bridesmaids and their bouquets made a lovely combination of White, Black and Pink.
Bride's Dress
White Shoulderless, Mermaid Cut Gown. Hairstyle was a casual updo.
Bridesmaid's Dresses
Black Knee length dresses varying in style according to each body size and figure. Hairstyles were loose updos.
Wedding Bouquets
Pink Gerberas. The bridesmaids carried bouquets made up of 5-7 pink gerberas each and the bride held a similar bouquet only larger in size.
The greenery of the garden and the pink gerberas gave the whole wedding a very pleasing look.

Black & White Wedding Dress at My Friend's New Zealand Wedding
I am back from my friend's wedding in New Zealand last month which a truly wonderful experience. Apart from the beautiful scenery and the extremely lovely Princess Bay in Wellington, it was the wedding ceremony that took the cake.
The Dress
My friend made a lovely bride wearing a trendy shoulder-less A-Line dress with black embroidery over the bust area and at the bottom and stones sewn onto it. The dress had a detachable train.
Accessories
Accessories were kept to a minimum. A stunning lariat, ear studs and a satin and pearls heart shaped little handbag added to the simple beauty and glamor.

Ballgown Wedding Dresses: Are they right for you?
Ballgown wedding dresses give you the fairytale princess kind of look and look pretty on most brides. Nevertheless, there are some things you might like to keep in mind:
1. Ballgown dresses have a fitted bodice. If you have a heavier bust, it might focus attention on that rather than disguising it.
2. A heavier bottom i.e. a pear shaped body will be very well disguised by a ballgown wedding dress.
3. Petite sizes may go in for trials before deciding upon a ballgown wedding dress if you really, really want to wear it. Get it altered a little so that you do not feel swamped in it.
4. Beach weddings and other more casual wedding ceremonies and receptions call for something more comfortable, modern and sleek. It would certainly look out of place to wear a ballgown wedding dress for such types of ceremonies.
5. Last but not the least, like for every other wedding dress, do not simply rely on what you see in the catalogs. The women wearing your favotite wedding dresses have a figure perfectly suited to those kinds of wedding gowns. Always, go for trials.

Multi-Color Stone Wedding Bands
Eternity Bands with dashes of several colors make for a good choice especially since you are going to wear them for a lifetime and they go beautifully with any outfit. I found one in Sterling Silver for just $10 at Amazon.com. Ok, it usually sells for $21 but they have a sale going on, so grab it fast.
