Vera Wang's Rules for Saying 'I Do'

s 的朋友介紹的,揀婚紗前可以睇下 Vera Wang 既忠告
-------------------------------------------------------

Vera Wang’s design portfolio spans far and wide into 40-plus categories, but her reputation as the go-to wedding gown designer is far from waning.

There’s no question she knows what works fashionwise for that trek down the aisle, and here are Wang’s Top Ten Wedding Day Dos.

  1. “Feeling comfortable in your appearance is incredibly important. If you feel comfortable with the way you look, you will radiate the most confidence.”

  2. “Determine what kind of wedding you are having. The volume, silhouette, proportions, amount of adornment, tailoring and other elements of the dress should have a lot to do with not only where you have your wedding, but what time of day it is being held and what the temperature is. [The dress is] not only about how it looks on your body.”

  3. “It’s really important to see the whole look — the dress, the headpiece, the size of the bouquet and the shoes. I would even go so far as to include the makeup. A lot of girls put a tremendous amount of effort into the dress, but they don’t give a lot of thought to the headpiece, tiara, barrettes or other accessories. Very often they are an afterthought.”

  4. Go easy on the bouquet. Bouquets that are too large or too loud will detract from the dress.”

  5. “Hem lengths are very key. You have to make sure you don’t see the shoes. The dress should definitely be floating above in the front. If it is too long in front, it’s treacherous. In order to make a wedding a success, the bride should not have to lift the dress. Someone tripped in my most recent show. It can be a particularly long walk down the aisle.”

  6. “Makeup is another thing to think about. I’m not crazy about strong red lipstick with a white dress. If you never wear blue eyeshadow or purple eyeshadow or glitter, why wear it on your wedding day? You want to avoid any makeup that makes you look disguised or that makes you no longer look like yourself. That is huge. It should be the same with the hair. Sometimes stylists can get too elaborate with hair styles and colors. Wearing [hair] accessories and [bobby] pins are very much about editing.”

  7. “I have to say I prefer a shoe on the quieter side whether it is a fashion shoe (though it doesn’t have to be) or something with a bit of a wedding feeling. I like a shoe with a tapered toe box. I’m not someone who is into a full-on Swarovski-covered glittery shoe. I don’t think you want that much attention. A little kitten heel is nice if you are marrying someone shorter than you, or a platform if you are marrying someone taller.”

  8. “It is just as important to have black-and-white photography done as it is to have color. Black and white is chic and timeless.”

  9. “Step into your dress whether it is large or narrow. There are things no one can compensate for. I once had a bride get red lipstick on the front of her dress when she pulled it on over her head. Keep anyone with colorful drinks, beverages or makeup away from you.”

  10. “Savor the moment. There’s a tendency when people get married to rush down the aisle as soon as the ceremony has ended. I’m not sure if it’s relief or what. But you have to remember the guests spend most of the time looking at your back during the service. So much work goes into planning. Take your time when walking back down the aisle. Let them see the dress.”

手花idea 1

復活有時間時便想想手花應怎樣制作。(無錯!我地係未做body check 未book prewedding 未睇衫未試妝就試做decoration)

從網上看到下面的手花看似不錯,便隨便找塊爛布試做一下。(由於爛布是深色,sorry detail 位不太能看到)先放完成圖(不喜者可skip)。

準備材料:圓規(用來畫圓的,夠堅可不用)、爛布一塊、剪刀(要夠利最好不會剪到爛晒)、針線、glue gun及紙樣。(sorry 沒有拍照)

先用圓規畫上一大一細圓型,然後剪出。大小隨自己的喜好。大圈會是花的size而小圈是花的第二層。上面的花大圈是2.7cm而小圈是2cm。

IMG_1708大圈和花的比例

畫好紙樣後,用布剪出6個大圈及6個小圈。

之後,在每個圈上往中間剪一刀(不用太正中也可)。注意:小圈留一個不要剪後用。

開始制作花瓣。由大圈開始。由剪出的邊開始 ,將圓圈左右對摺。

剪好後用針線 縫好底部以免彈出。

IMG_1709

拿沒有剪的小圈用來做花的底部。將六個大圈貼到花底(由於我懶得找glue gun,我用了縫的)花的底層完成,花型已出。

IMG_1714其實可以花底可剪細一點(好爛的底部)

小圈也以同樣做法,再以glue gun貼到第二層。(如覺得不夠,可多剪幾個小圈)

注意最後花蕊亦是其中一個小圈,如想效果更好,花蕊的小圈要摺得比較不均勻便可。

最後用glue gun貼上花蕊到正中便可(攤開兩邊)。

P.S.不過未諗到個底應該用咩去襯托.....待續。

Pom Pom DIY 2

由於隻橙色太橙既關係,完成品同想象圖差好遠...............

想象圖

製成品....七彩龍珠

Anyway呢隻色唔太岩個場,所以唔會再試呢個組合啦!至於製作方法都係同上次差唔多(請參考 Pom Pom DIY 1)。今次用左 6" 既 foam ball,29個 tissue pom。實物 10" 大,遠睇都幾靚 (唔計顏色),不過近睇唔 ok。建議用 3-5" 既 foam ball 做 pom pom 較佳。
