I am 5'5 1/2 and 108lbs , small frame, what type of wedding gown goes best for my body type? Thanks for any help.
What is the best style wedding gown for a small framed thin person?
I think that this is not something for an individual to tell you without seeing things on you. Also I think that your own style has to be a factor as mine may be different from yours, but I will give you my opinion. I think that a strapless gown or ooff the shoulder would be my first recommendation. Second would be spaghetti strap style. Being that you are small I think the bigger the gown and the more material would overwhelm your figure. Good luck and congratulations!
Reply:Hello ,
I work in a boutique of a major French fashion house and we are specialised in clothes for women with 'petite' figures .
I advise to go and look for a gown with an empire waistline and pleated skirt ... that way You will look taller and slender , like a Greek goddess ...

How can I turn my wedding dress into a creative keepsake?
I'm looking to create a beautiful keepsake out of my wedding dress. Does anyone have any good ideas, or patterns? I've thought about maybe a pillow, but that seems a little common.
Please help.
How can I turn my wedding dress into a creative keepsake?
I've seen photos of wedding dress quilts, and they're lovely. Unfortunately, they aren't washable. Do a web search to see some samples.
Reply:You could buy a doll and have a dress made for the doll out of your dress.
Some people will have the dress cut into Christening outfits if they think they might have their future children baptized.
You could cut pieces of the fabric and lace and have them framed like a picture, or in a shadow box with your wedding picture.
You could make fabric flowers out of the material and turn it into a bouquet and put that in a shadow box or under a dome.

Reply:the most beautiful item I saw was two Christening gowns made for a woman's twin daughters,from her wedding gown. I thought what a fabulous keepsake.

I want to start a wedding/party planning business. I have my certificate so where do I go from here?
I am currently planning a wedding and I'm checking out how much other planners charge in the area.
I want to start a wedding/party planning business. I have my certificate so where do I go from here?
When I started my business (Pampered Chef) I found that my biggest breaks came from word of mouth. I threw my own "Grand Opening" party and invited almost 100 people. At first I was dissapointed with the turnout, but over the next few weeks I realized that everyone I invited got the news about my business. Soon people I hardly knew were telling me that thier sister-in-law (friend, aunt, etc.) wanted to have a show. Someone else who I barely knew couldn't make the grand opening but offered to have a show of her own. It led to 4 more shows, which led to an open house, which led to a recruit! She is now a great friend!
I also got a table at some local vendor fairs %26amp; always had a raffle at the table. When people filled out the raffle slip they gave me their contact info for my mailing list and answered a few questions, such as "are you interested in earning free and discounted products by hosting a fun cooking show?" This was a great help in building a customer base.
My suggestion - throw your own "Grand Opening" and invite TONS of people. Use raffles to boost your customer base.
P.S.
Pampered Chef does wedding registeries with great benefits. Send me a note at heatherkrey@rcn.com if you'd like to network so we can both get more customers. (that is, I recommend you, you recommend me.)
Reply:Get some caterers and live performances. Than put your add on Craig's List.
Reply:you may want to offer your services at a lower cost or even pro bono for a short while so you can get together a portfolio and references so that others will want to hire you...
Reply:build a relationship with local vendors. Attend bridal events and make new friens. Word of mouth is the best way to get this information out.
Good luck!
Reply:Put an add in the news papers, bullitons around towns, and make flyers. You'll be sure to get some responses.

What is the average wedding coordinator cost for 50 person or smaller wedding?
Looking to find an average cost for a wedding coordinator to arrange a relatively small wedding (50 guests and under).
What is the average wedding coordinator cost for 50 person or smaller wedding?
The wedding planner can range from 500 dollars to 3000 depending on their experience and what they will be responsible for. They usually charge either by the hour, by the percentage total of wedding or a flat fee. Whatever the cost, they are well worth it. A good wedding planner though expensive may save you money, as they will compare vendors etc.
Reply:Hi. I am a wedding planner based in NY but work nationally. It all depends on how extravagant you want the wedding to be. I have planned wedding with 40 people where they have had so much to do because of the level of extravagance they wanted. On the other hand I have had weddings where my fee was cheaper for a 300 person wedding. It all depends on what you are looking to be done. How involved do you want the planner? Do you want them there just the day of the wedding or to coordinate and plan your entire wedding starting with coming up with a theme? I am not sure where you are located but if you are looking for a wedding planner or just advice you can email me or go to my website at www.confettieventplan.com Good luck and Congratulations!
Reply:well they normally take a % or a flat rate look in your area or look for a bluk package i plan on going to hawii for mine an spending 750.00 for video photo limo and cake and location and a minister and it will hold at least 30ppl only thing we have to pay beyond is flights but my guests are picking up the tab of flights and i am paying for hotel and activities
Reply:I belive its normally 10% of your total budget

How to dry clean a wedding dress made of satin?
I bought my wedding dress from China and there are no dry cleaning instructions attached to the dress! The cleaners are not sure how to clean the dress! It is made of Satin and is very plain. No beads! Does anyone have instructions on how to clean this dress!
How to dry clean a wedding dress made of satin?
Take it to your dry cleaner. They will know what to do with it. They clean all wedding gowns regardless of their fabric or detail and offer proper storage for them as well. If your present cleaners can't figure it out, take it to another.
Reply:To put myself thru college, I worked in a bridal shop for a few years. We would have many brides that bought their dresses from overseas and had the same issue as yours.
Go back to the manufacturer. If they are legally importing goods to the US, they needs to provide care instructions. This is from the Federal Trade Commission website:
Care instructions. The care label must identify:
At least one safe cleaning method -- either washing or dry cleaning -- and any necessary warnings about the cleaning method.
Example: If the care instruction is to dry clean, the label must specify one type of solvent that may be used, unless all commercially available types of solvents can be used safely on the gown.
Example: If the gown is labeled for washing, the label must say whether any step of the normal washing process -- washing, bleaching, drying, or ironing -- could harm the garment or other items cleaned with it.
The care label must be sewn in. Imported garments should have care labels when they are sent to the U.S., or labels should be attached by the importer.
If the lable is not there, go back to the manufacturer and request one.
If you have no luck, try the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists. You can search my state for a cleaner that specializes in wedding gowns.
To store your gown, I do not advise having it professionally preserved. It is expensive and there is no way to check the gown to make sure all the stains were removed when the dress was cleaned prior to heirlooming. I reccomend (and I also do this with my wedding gown) after cleaning fold the gown placing clean white acid-free tissue paper between each fold. Store in one of those vacuum storage bags (you can buy Space Bags at Bed Bath and Beyond) in a cool dark place so the dress does not get discolored by light. Once a year (just before your anniversary so your husband has a reminder ;-) ) take the gown out, inspect it for any damage and let it hang for a few days. Then fold it back up and store it in the vacuum bag for another year. You can also store your veil the same way, just wrap any sharp edges with tissue.
Reply:since the cleaners did not know...take it to a bridal shop and ask them
Reply:Take it to a professional that knows more than the one you took it to.
Some one should know how to clean.
