Bridal Shorts: Summer Need-to-Know

Chances are that your special day will be a hot one and you and your guests are going to want to be comfortable. Check out dexKnows Weddings for some tips on how to keep the party cool and your wedding guests happy.

Having a more formal rehearsal dinner? Don't be afraid of colors! My new favorite trend right now is mixing pink and blue, but it can be a little tricky if you don't have the right shades to match.  If you are having trouble with what to wear and are not sure how to pick out the right shades, just think about the colors of your very own wedding! If you've ordered bouquets for the bridesmaids, think about the colors of the flowers and how well they match with the bridesmaid dresses.  I've seen a lot of brides choose pink and blue flowers and the colors look stunning next to each other!  What opposite colors have you paired together? Was it a success?

Bridal: Outdoor Wedding

Having an outdoor wedding? I've personally never been to one, but it seems like it would be nice during the warmer months.  Check out these great tips from Weather.com on outdoor weddings and don't forget to go to A Perfect Celebration for more ideas. Have your ever been to an outdoor wedding? How was it?

Bridal: Wedding Fitness

Yesterday I started my summer workout plan and it inspired me to include a post about wedding fitness.  Every bride wants to look her best on her special day and there are only two reasons I can think of why that is: all eyes will be on her and taking pictures. Those two reasons alone are enough to start a fitness regime.  At My Bridal Fitness Program one bride talks about her own fitness plan. When preparing for an event, do you have a stay healthy plan that you follow?
