SPRING cleaning




It feels so good to be back!!  Now that it's Spring and new growth is all around us, thought a fitting occasion to clean up a bit and breath some new life in to the look of my dearly beloved blog:)

I also altered the blog description to give a broader scope sense of the the subject matter I discuss here. My focus on wedding attire hasn't changed, but in that realm I cover a plethora of angles hopefully of interest to all those who find themselves brides to be.

Do brides Spring clean? The answer is yes, but perhaps not in the way you might think. Come Spring I think most humans rejoice that the days are longer, warmer and brighter. There is a new outlook, a new beginning, birth of baby animals, harbingers of summer around the corner. By Spring brides who intend to marry in the Summer are seeing their gown for the first time post purchase. Fittings commence and anticipation heightens as things become"real." At this time brides are also purchasing accessories to augment their walk down the aisle style. Other wedding plans are finalized and final payments are due. Brides sometimes make offers on homes or remit security deposits for their new marital nests.

Busyness can and usually does get out of control for brides. In the over 20 years I've been working with brides I know the few months before the wedding can be the most challenging. Sometimes there are setbacks like a dress doesn't arrive exactly the way it was intended or it doesn't fit the way the bride hoped. At those moments all involved must take several deep breaths and determine a plan of action together. This collaboration and not a bride vs. the boutique approach alleviates tension, confusion and mostly importantly wasted time.

A bride needs precious time to "clean" and prepare for her new beginning :)
