Much has been written about how to preserve a wedding gown after a wedding to ensure that it stays in top shape for decades to come. But what about before the wedding? You may have your dress months in advance, so let's look at the best way to keep it perfect for the big day.
I am getting married next August, and I have already found my bridesmaids' dresses. My fiancé and I have chosen black and white as our colors.

And would it be appropriate for my mother to wear black?
Lucky you! There are plenty of options for finding earth friendly attire for your wedding day.

I am to be in my brother's wedding and they have decided to have the wedding at 10 a.m. My brother is to wear his dress blues, therefore, making the wedding a more formal affair. My sister-in-law-to-be wants the bridesmaids to wear full-length gloves, died to match our navy blue dresses. Our dresses are sleeveless and can certainly handle such a look, but I, and many people I consult, think this is inappropriate for the time of day.
You would be surprised how many brides have questions about concealing tattoos! Apparently the body-art craze of the early 1990s has left many women with "permanent" adornments that don't quite coordinate with their dream wedding gown.
