Wedding Shoes Throughout History
By Bobette Kyle-Wagner | May 15, 2008
The bride’s shoes have been a source of fashion, and discomfort, throughout history. Historically, in Anglo-Saxon or European weddings, the bride — considered a cherished piece of property — was handed down from the father to her new husband. To signify this passage of ownership and responsibility, the father gave the bridegroom one of the bride’s old shoes. Variations on this tradition included the bridegroom keeping his foot on the bridal shoe throughout the marriage ceremony or tapping the bride’s forehead with one of her shoes (One can only imagine what the modern bride would do with that shoe). On a more positive note, a penny or sixpence was often placed in the left bridal shoe to assure a happy and wealthy marriage. It may surprise you to learn that the old adage “something old, something new…” originally ended with the line “a silver sixpence in her shoe.”

Wedding Veil - Scallop Edges
By Bobette Kyle-Wagner | May 14, 2008A veil’s edge is usually cut straight or on a slight curve. The exception is the scalloped wedding veil, which is cut with a decorative edge. Mantilla veils often have a scalloped edge. Picture the curvy pattern a row of semi-circles makes placed side-by-side, or see photos of veils with scallop edges currently for sale online:
Wedding Dress Shopping
By Bobette Kyle-Wagner | May 13, 2008
Shopping for and purchasing a wedding dress is one of the most involved parts of wedding planning. The process can be exciting or harrowing, depending on how you approach it. Here are some tips to make your gown-buying experience fabulous:
- Be aware of fashion trends, but decide what features *you* like. Initially, try on several styles and settle on your preferred style, neckline, train length, waist line, detailing, and any other features you find important. Also, be aware that a wedding gown — like any piece of clothing — may have a different look from in front of a mirror than from across the room. Have someone take pictures of your favorite styles, then scrutinize them later. You may be surprised that the style you fell in love with doesn’t look so special in a photo. Or, a dress you weren’t sure about emphasizes your best features.
- Whether you are buying through a bridal shop or online, order the gown well in advance of your wedding — at least five to six months before the big day. This allows time to receive your dress and have alterations completed.
- For a perfect fit, plan on alterations. Ask around to find local seamstresses that specialize in wedding dress alterations. If you buy your dress through a local shop, they can likely help with scheduling fittings or finding someone to do alterations. Schedule at least two — maybe three — fittings. When it comes to fit, don’t settle for less than you really want. You will be wearing the gown for several hours and be immortalized in photos.

Your Wedding Shoes Style
By Bobette Kyle-Wagner | May 12, 2008
Soon after you begin shopping for wedding shoes, you find a wide range of styles — from simple to elaborate. How do you know which will look best for your wedding? The key is a balanced look. If your dress is simple, you can get more elaborate with the shoes (and vice versa). Another way to create a balanced, elegant look is to choose similar accents for your shoes, jewelry, and gown (pearls, beads, crystals, rhinestones, etc.). Having a common element across all pieces of your bridal ensemble helps pull the look together.
