The Veil

     Before introducing in the world of the veil, we are going to discover the origin of the veil and why it has become an esential complement of many brides. The veil has also a relevant moment during the ceremony. When it is risen. The groom is the only person who can rise it. This is a beautiful moment when the couple look at their eyer each other and after say the expected sentence: “Yes, I do”

     Their origin comes from the past when people believed in evil spirits. They thought they could be around to ruin the wedding ceremony. The bride wore a veil to cover her face. In this way, evil spirits would not know who was the bride. Likewise, bridesmaid were made part of the ceremony to surround the bride, so evil spirits would be confused about who the actual bride was, and leave. Many couples today still honor these customs, but use the veil to hide the bride's face until it is first revealed to her groom. The bridesmaids are chosen to help the bride celebrate her happy day. This is also true for the ushers to celebrate with the groom.

     Although we are getting used to think the veil has always been white, this is not true. As we told in the review about the colour of the dress, where we discover that there are many colours according to the culture or the election of the bride. With the veil happens the same. In some cultures used the veil to transmitt messages. For example the yellow veil was a virginity proof, while blue in honour to the Virgin.

 And you?. Are you going to use this ornament?, white?, other colours?. Tell us.

Square Face

     How many times have we watched a hairstyle that we have loved but in our face is horrible?
   
     The wedding day, we want to shine in one's own right, so the best idea is going to go to the hairdresser and she advice us. But, we can take a certain advantage if we know which are the hairstyles according to our face. We will focus on a certain style, to make the most of our possibilities.

     First of all, we are going to focus on in the different shape of faces.Today we are going to focus on the square face.

 Square Face 

 

     A square-shaped face is strong, square jaw line and usually an equally square hairline. If you have this face shape, the best  haircutcut is short-to-medium length hair, especially with wave or roundness around the face. Wispy bangs will soften your angular square face. Off-center parts with height at the crown look great on you. You want to soften the square look of your face with layers and wispy looks around the face. Height at the crown will elongate your symmetrical shape. If your hair is straight, you may want to consider a body wave perm, as some curl or wavy hair will create a nice balance to the straight features of your face.If you have a square face shape you must avoid long straight hair styles that stress the square jawbone, “linear” straight bangs or center parts, a straight bobbed hairstyle ending at the jaw line aren’t the best choice for a square face. You can wear a layered bob hair style, but  it should end above or below the jaw line, not at the jaw. Make sure in styling that you create some roundness to the shape and some height at the crown or bangs, and you will be on the right track. 

      Celebrities with square face shapes: Kristin Scott Thomas, Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore or Isabella Rosellini.

Wedding or Mortgaging?

 Money, money and much more money. Probably, if we think about a wedding 20 years ago, it will be very different from a current wedding. In the last years, when we think about a wedding implies a series of expenses, such as: Dress, rental car, hotels, bridal memories, travel and wedding photographers…But, it is not true.

We are going to show you different ways of celebrating your wedding without the necessity of mortgaging.

The most important thing is to focus in your priorities for celebrating an unforgettable wedding. One of the most important priorities will be saving your money. Remember! Luxury does not mean a best wedding. 

Basics aspects to take into account:

Compare: Once you choose your priorities, you should look for the best price.
