Wednesday Wedding Tips - 5 tips for a gorgeous gown
Today's tips are from Melanie at Andrea's Bridal.
Granger, IN USA 46530
Justs 2 doors down from Brides a la mode!
Love your bridal gown and want it to be PERFECT on your big day? Here are a few do's and don'ts from the experts at Andrea's Bridal in Granger:
1. DO have your gown professionally pressed.
2. DON'T use a steamer, it could ruin silk.
3. DO take your gown straight home or to your hotel after it has been pressed.
4. DO NOT leave a freshly pressed gown in its bag in your car while you run a few errands on your way home....wrinkles are inevitable. There is even a story of a bride who stopped at the mall for pantihose and came out to find her gown stolen!
5. DO make sure you (or your maid of honor, friend, mom) have practiced bustling the dress or consider hiring a dresser to help.

Wednesday Wedding Tip -- Hiring a Wedding Coordinator
Today's tip comes from one of my favorite wedding sites, Martha Stewart Weddings and I think it is an excellent summary of why a bride should hire a wedding coordinator:
Hiring a wedding coordinator was once a luxury. Today, for many couples, it's a necessity. Planning a wedding is more complicated than ever, now that most brides and grooms don't meet and marry in the same hometown. Both the bride and groom usually want to be involved with the arrangements but are often preoccupied with work or school. They have high expectations of their weddings, but are novices at organizing such big events. Not only can a wedding coordinator handle the time-consuming, stress-inducing details, but he or she can also help make the planning itself an enjoyable experience. "Many couples have tremendous wedding days," says Elizabeth K. Allen, a planner with offices in New York City and Atlanta. "But looking back, they realize how stressful it was to get there. A wedding coordinator helps to make it an enjoyable process all around, so the couple has great memories of the engagement and the celebration."

Wednesday Wedding Tip - 5 Tips for an organized Marriage
Today's tips are brought to you by Brides a la mode member, Wendy Taddeuccu of Simply Organized. http://sollc.blogspot.com/2010/02/5-tips-for-organized-marriage.html
Here's what Wendy has to say about her business:
"I help my clients clear their clutter so that they know what they have AND where to find it. I am especially excited to work with newly married couples - starting with a clean organizing slate makes organizing, well, easier! New couples have the opportunity to place their things in the home for maximum efficiency and use. When I work with a couple that is or has recently moved into their first home, I work with them and help them decide where everything goes. So, if you have stuff just shoved anywhere and can't find anything, call me for special pricing. When you are organized, life is so much sweeter."
