Black is stereotyped as a taboo for wedding, because traditionally it is a symbolic colour for death and sorrow. Unlike last year, this year the colour black is not widely used on major part of the wedding gown, but as decoration, such as black bow, black belt and black gloves.

Also this year focus less on colours, but more on styles. Colours used are blush pink, champagne, grey, coffee, etc, and mainly are ivory and beige. Style wise, princess style has become the most popular style; flared skirt and short skirt are also the highlights in 2011.

Prepare a great shape for the big day – tips 1&2

January 27th, 2011

Every bride dreams to have a memorable wedding and a good shape is essential for beautiful wedding dresses. Here we put together some tricks and diet advices for those who are preparing for their big days.

NO.1: drink plenty of water or low calorie drinks

Sometimes we can not distinguish whether we are hungry or thirsty, and we will have excess energy without knowing, but in fact maybe only a cup of cold water will solve the problem. Tea is a good option to rid the body fat, such as oolong tea, lemon tea, pu’er tea, chrysanthemum tea, hawthorn tea. Try not to take too much alcohol as its energy is just next to fat, or you can take a small cup of wine per day.

Tips: If you do not like the taste of plain water, try to add a chopped lemon or a spoon of fruit juice, or fruit tea such as mango tea or peach tea. These will add flavour to your water but not calories.

NO.2: Small meals during the day

Everyone knows eating less helps lose weight, but if you are hungry all day, it may not achieve the result you want. An appetite expert said scientific research shows that eating 4-5 meals a day are more conducive to weight loss.  It is suggested that people who want to lose weight, will need to minimize each meal intake, but increase the number of meals.

Britain developed a one-time “low carbon” green wedding dress fabric

January 18th, 2011

According to British media, after honeymoon the bride has long been troubled by how to deal with the wedding dress, researchers appears to have a solution, but pricely. Sheffield Hallam University’s fashion and engineering students have developed one-off wedding dress, and now five styles have been designed. Thematerials of the wedding dress are made of polyvinyl alcohol, a biodegradable substance that can dissolve in the water, which makes the wedding dress environmental friendly. Last year, researchers at the University hold a special exhibition called “sustainable marriage” Fair.

However, wearing this type of dress requires the bride to reserve an umbrella, because the rain may destroy the whole event. It seems there is no perfect solution.

Fashion experts Jane Boom commented: “wedding dress is perhaps the most significant symbol of a woman’s life in the wardrobe, this challenges the ‘one-off’ feature of the dress.”

After the wedding, people are generally carefully concealed the dress in the bottom for the rest of their life, but cleaning is a big problem. She believes that this new invention combines art and technology, the exploration of human diversity on clothing material challenges the modern society’s attitude towards one-off fashion. She also said that, in order to reduce the environmental impact of fashion, fashion industry must change some traditional practices.

According to a survey by Britain in 2008, the British spent more than 20,000 pounds on each wedding, an increase in spending compares to £14,643 five years ago. The average price of a wedding dress is 997 pounds.
