Perfect Foundation, Perfect Dress

July 31st, 2008 by Zuriana

Does a bustier work well with a strapless gown?  Is seamed or seamless shapewear better for a dress made with lightweight material?  Ensure your dress looks perfect on you by investing in lingerie that complements your dress.  Additionallly, your lingerie should provide support and be something you’ll feel comfortable in.

Wedding Channel has tips to ”Match Your Lingerie To Your Wedding Gown“.  Bare Necessities has a great article with tips on lingerie to wear when shopping for your dress, a quick guide on the most popular styles of bridal underpinnings, and more. 

Let the experts at your lingerie or bridal salon guide you to what works best for you and your style of dress.

Donating for a Cause

July 2nd, 2008 by Zuriana

A colleague of mine was wondering where could she donate her wedding dress.  This got me thinking about organizations that allow you to donate your wedding  dress for a cause.   Here are a few:

I Do Foundation
The I Do Foundation allows you to donate the proceeds from the sale of your wedding gown to the charity of your choice.  www.idofoundation.org/resources/dresses/

The Bridal Garden
The Bridal Garden is a bridal boutique which offers top designer gowns at reasonable prices. Proceeds from the sales of dresses benefit the Sheltering Arms Children’s Services.  www.bridalgarden.org

Making Memories
Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation allows you to donate your gown, veil or slip for the Brides Against Breast Cancer™, Nationwide Tour of Gowns.  “This is a very unique opportunity for brides-to-be to find one-of-a-kind gowns at fabulous prices and help grant a wish for a woman or man with terminal breast cancer.”   www.makingmemories.org
