I was in the cab a moment ago with my cousin and we were discussing if a soon-to-wed couples need a wedding planner.

I personally feel “yes” and “no”.

Why “yes”?

1. If you feel you are completely straped off all your time due to work or socialisation and you are dead-tired when you reached home, I feel you do not only should, but must get a wedding planner.

2. Some wedding couples are not into organing anything for themselves. They feel that they are much better off delegating these “impossible” tasks to someone more professional. Then, they can engage a wedding planner to avoid bring unnecessary pain upon themselves.

I have a wedding-related email enquiry on what kind of bridesmaids dresses to wear.

This lady is about 1.57cm tall with fair/ yellowish skin tone with a weight of between 45 to 50kg.

Her sister-in-law is going to wear a turquoise evening dress and this reader is quite confused about what to wear during the wedding dinner.

I supposed this type of confusion is common among the many bridesmaids who are helping out. There are some who want to have a share of the limelight while others just want to help out.

I have come across bridesmaids who want to manipulate what to be worn on the wedding night. However, such cases are rare.

I went to Google search “turquoise wedding gown” and I have found some wedding photos. I am trying to understand how does one look like so that I can be clearer in what my reader wants.

So, these are the wedding gowns’ photos I found.

Clueless of what to get for beautiful bridal rings sets?

Surf the net and get your answer. Today I would like to introduce JelweryVoretx.com, an online site that sell diamond jewelry, gold chains, titanium jewelry, silver jewlery, brandname watches and birthstone jewelry.

It is really common to see titanium jewelry, silver jewelry and gold chains in most wedding jewelry websites. The unqiue of JelweryVortex.com is that it sells watches, birthstones and designer wedding bands.

1. Watches

Do you long for a branded watches without spending all your salary? JelweryVortex.com offers a wide selection of men watches from brand names such as Movado, Bulova, Breitling and Cartier at much less than the retail price

If the men out there are looking gifts for the women of your life, you can also get women watches. Piaget, Longines, Concord, and Bvlgari are some of the brand name watches you can find at JewelryVortex.com

A wedding is a wonderful occasion where two souls are united while taking vows to be together and for each other for the rest of their lives. This is why everything has to be done in ensuring that the wedding is as memorable as possible. And one that needs lots of thought and consideration is the selection of the bridal gown.

1. The complexion of the bride is the most important point to consider when choosing the bridal gown. Women who are on the fairer side should wear dark colors while women who are more on the dusky or dark side should use light colors. This is because a contrast in the color of the bridal gown tends to enhance the beauty of the bride.

2. Another point to look out for when choosing the wedding gown is to choose a gown that matches the color of the bridegroom?s attire and your hairstyle. This is because since both of you will be the center of the show, it proves to be wiser on your part to collaborate your colors so that you look both harmonious and stand out from the crowd. In addition to this, the color of the bridal gown has to match the jewelry you intend to wear for the wedding.

Whether it?s an 10-carat marquise diamond such as the one worn by Catherine Zeta-Jones when she promised to wed Michael Douglas, or the 5-carat oval shaped ring in pave setting, such as the one given by Tom Cruise to Katie Holmes, celebrity engagement rings are as much a testament to the Hollywood glitz and glamour as any other piece of jewelry.

Just what exactly makes celebrity engagement rings so alluring? Other than the fact that they are glimpses into the intimate lives of larger-than-life individuals, their existence in this real, 3-D world we ordinary mortals live in makes us all believe that fairy tale endings might just be possible for us, too, after all. Celebrity engagement rings transcend the pomp and circumstance of Hollywood and strike at the very expression of real and enduring love. Or at least the illusion of it. Indeed, one can argue that celebrity engagement rings and this new breed of commercialism are responsible for the malaise that grips the present state of marriages, especially Hollywood ones. Still, these rings are no longer just Hollywood props. They are real, they?re right here and they don?t come at a cheap price.
