While it may be tough to talk a guy friend into joining you, if you can, you'll be glad for the help, as wedding gowns can be heavy!</p><p> 3. Devise a way to <b>keep track of your team</b> once you're in the store. You might all wear bright colored sweatshirts or hats, carry flashing light sticks, don silly headbands with springy antennae or wear whistles around your necks.</p><p> 4. Visit a bridal salon or study bridal gowns in magazines and on the Web to <b>decide in advance what type of gown you prefer</b>. White or ivory? Simple or elaborate? Sheath or full-skirted? Be sure to show your team pictures of what you have in mind. Also be sure your helpers know what sizes to look for, keeping in mind that most bridal gowns run small, so you'll need a size larger than what you normally wear. A good seamstress will have little trouble altering a gown that is too large, but you should avoid gowns that are too snug.</p><p> 5. <b>Wear comfortable shoes and a bodysuit or bathing suit</b> under a sweatsuit. It's not likely that you'll find a dressing room, so you'll have to try on wedding dresses in the midst of the chaos.</p><p> 6. When the doors open, be prepared to <b>grab up as many wedding dresses as you can</b> in the first several minutes. Once the racks are emptied and brides begin trying on wedding gowns, bartering begins, so the more dresses you score up front, the better your chances of swapping for "the one."</p><p> 7. Don't be afraid to <b>try on a dress that isn't exactly what you had in mind</b>. You may be surprised once you see the gown on you instead of on a hanger.</p><p> 8. <b>Bring along a small mirror</b>, as it may be difficult to get a place in front of the store's full-length mirrors. It won't be ideal, but it will give you a sense of whether the gown's neckline is flattering and help you decide whether to hold onto a dress or pass it along.</p><p> 9. <b>Be patient</b>. As more brides-to-be either find their perfect dresses or give up, there will be additional gowns to try.</p><p> 10. Keep in mind that <b>no dress is a bargain if you don't love it</b>. Filene's Basement won't allow you to return a wedding dress purchased at the sale, so save your money if you don't think you'll be completely satisfied. That said, if you do find a spectacular dress, run straight to the registers. Filene's Basement's wedding dress sale is a one-day event.</p><br /><p>Request the <strong>“Secrets of Success—finding your dream dress at Filene’s Basement’s <em>Running of the Bride</em></strong><strong>s.” <span style="font-weight: normal;">by emailing Pat.boudrot@filenesbasement.com</span><br /></strong></p></div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5613325283021743880-8961799755127957861?l=mishamedia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02543656529972165859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613325283021743880.post-84028765560759072092007-07-22T09:17:00.000-06:002007-07-23T11:45:28.151-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=""><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://mishamedia.smugmug.com/photos/176031801-L.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">the business side of our trip was to shoot fremy & mark's engagement session... these two were so cute together!

Ela creates original, one-of-a-kind paintings and drawings of your wedding day! Due to the great response that I've had during my meetings, I've decided to blog and let you know about Ela's fine art paintings... as an artist of photography, I appreciate the work that Ela does and her contribution to making your wedding special and unique! This is definitely something to consider as this is not only a painting, but an art work of you on one of the most special days of your lives!<br /><br />Ela can create the artwork at your wedding (as an added 'entertainment' aspect to your wedding), or even create a painting of your favorite wedding photo if your wedding has past already... Why not surprise your husband/wife with an exclusive wedding anniversary present?<br /><br />Ela creates both abstract and realistic paintings with many different styles... she can also imitate your favorite artist styles as well (ie. Van Gogh). Ela uses the following mediums to paint or draw your artwork - oil, acrylic, charcoal, colored pencil, and watercolor.<br /><br />Pricing starts at $295. If you are currently a <a href="http://www.mishamedia.com">Misha Media</a> client, she's offering a special discount on her artwork :)<br /><br />Ela does great work... here are a few of her sample artwork... how I wish I had something like this for my wedding!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">please emailme@mishamedia.com<br />for more information on Ela Kaya's artwork!<br /></div><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">medium: charcoal<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mishamedia.smugmug.com/photos/160626389-L.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Your engagement session gives me the opportunity to know you and your fiance better before your big day! This is truly the big warm-up before your wedding! As the weather is getting somewhat better =[ , I've been getting many inquiries on scheduling for engagement sessions... Please email or call me to schedule yours!<br /><br />Here are a few tips of what to wear for your session. </span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >W</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >hen deciding what to wear, make sure that your colors don't match those of your future spouse but that they blend in with each other, such as different shades of one color or a light color with a dark color. Be sure to coordinate your colors so that they do not clash. Avoid wearing something too bright or with busy patterns. Lastly, make sure that you wear something comfortable. If you do not feel comfortable, then you will not look comfortable. Typically, women wear pants with a sweater or shirt and men wear khaki pants with a buttoned shirt.<br /> <br /> </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Y</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >our choice for clothing may also depend on the setting and your own personal preferences. You may want more formal clothing for pictures inside but more of a dressy casual for pictures outdoors. Or you may prefer jeans over pants since you will be dressed up for the wedding. Your choice also depends on your own personalities. For example, if you wear jeans and are comfortable in them, you may prefer to wear them for your pictures. If you still cannot decide, bring several outfits with you to your engagement session and let us choose the pair that looks best on you both as a couple.<br /> <br /> </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >My engagement session photos are all yours to keep (just like your photos from your wedding)<br /><br />What my clients have done in the past with these photos are:</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >- save the date's</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >- rehearsal dinner invites</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">- center piece photos<br />- newspaper engagement announcement<br /><br />Get creative and Enjoy!<br /><br />=D Michele</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5613325283021743880-7255641801535362440?l=mishamedia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02543656529972165859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613325283021743880.post-61556769648553120842007-02-27T13:43:00.000-06:002007-02-27T14:09:30.155-06:00ok now why did they not have this for my wedding? i saw this on the news and was totally excited...<br /><br />Walt Disney Company and bridal designer <a href="http://www.kirstiekelly.com/index.asp" target="_blank">Kirstie Kelly</a> have developed a line of gowns that pay homage to Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, Ariel and Sleeping Beauty.<br /><br />The gowns will be high-fashion and very modern.<br /><br />Solutions Bridal in Winter Park will be the only store in Central Florida to carry the line, which will retail from about one-thousand to three-thousand dollars.<br /><br />The line will be expanded to include bridesmaid dresses, flower-girl dresses and jewelry in October.<br /><br />how cute is that! i cannot wait to see what these gowns will look like!<br /><br />oOo michele<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5613325283021743880-6155676964855312084?l=mishamedia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02543656529972165859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613325283021743880.post-7286355822562571542007-02-20T15:18:00.000-06:002007-02-27T15:28:49.722-06:00<div style="text-align: center;">emily! ... anxiety of being away from mommy... even though she was only 2 feet away...<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mishamedia.smugmug.com/photos/132568092-L.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://mishamedia.smugmug.com/photos/132568092-L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.kidsonprints.com" target="_blank">www.kidsonprints.com</a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5613325283021743880-728635582256257154?l=mishamedia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02543656529972165859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613325283021743880.post-36565272626018292872007-02-19T22:19:00.001-06:002007-02-27T14:09:51.285-06:00I am so excited to share with you our new service with misha media! we are currently offering wedding videography!!! please view our <a href="http://www.mishamedia.com/video.asp" target="_blank">sample videos</a> online... you will not be disappointed!
