Bridal Parasols: Style and Class made for each other

The average cost of a wedding in 2011 was $49,202, according to Wedding Guide. It’s a small price to pay for the most special day of your life, of course, but it’s still a pretty hefty expense at a time when you’re also probably thinking about buying a new home, starting a family and a lot of other things. Still, nobody wants to compromise on the celebration, especially when it comes to the latest bridal styles.

Parasols have been a popular wedding trend since 2009. They originally started off at beach weddings, but they’ve since become popular for weddings of all kinds. Parasols give a classy vintage look to an outfit and make a stylish alternative to a bouquet. Unlike a bouquet, they also give a lasting reminder of the big day, and they’re practical too; many modern bridal parasols are waterproof,  and if it’s a hot sunny day, a they can help keep you cool.

Since 1990, Impostors Bridal Jewellery has been offering stylish but affordable wedding accessories from our Melbourne store and now also online. We’ve been featured in high-end magazines like Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire as well as sponsoring Miss Universe Australia. In addition to a full range of exquisite jewellery, evening bags and guest books, Impostors also carries a stunning range of lace parasols in classic white, elegant ivory or black. 

At an affordable price of $49.95, all the bridesmaids can carry matching parasols along with the bride. These parasols are not only fashionable and practical but also make great props for wedding photos. And if you want an idea to save money but add style, parasols make great wedding favors for your guests. For a real touch of Victorian class, why not pair an ivory parasol with a soft fur wrap in a matching shade. Impostors have a large selection of affordable wraps in high quality faux fur.  Let the staff at Impostors help you put all the pieces together for your dream day!

Choosing the Perfect Bag or Clutch for Your Wedding

While wedding accessories are important for putting the final touches on your special day, it’s the bridal accessories like the bridal bags and clutches that are the true icing on the cake. After all, you spent hours, days, maybe even months picking out the perfect wedding dress. You should certainly finish off your beautiful look with a bridal purse that suits!

When looking for a bridal handbag, the first thing you will want to consider is color. If you’re wearing a white dress, you’ll most likely want a white evening bag. However, you can also choose a bag that matches your accessories. For example, you might choose a silver bridal bag or clutch to match your beading or jewellery. Be sure to think about size as well since you will need something to carry all your essentials without getting in the way.

You may also choose to purchase a bag for your bridesmaids.  Evening bags come in all sorts of colors. Many times you can find a purse in a color that complements your bridesmaid’s dress or even matches.  Bags and clutches are becoming the preferred item over holding flowers for bridesmaids. A bag is an item that can be used again and always looks stylish.

Weddings are very important events in our lives, as a matter of fact many people suggest that it is the best day of their lives.

Easy Wedding Preparation

Make a To Do list

At the beginning and throughout, it can be helpful to put together a ‘To Do’ list. The list will contain the most important things that need doing before the wedding. It might not seem like much, but it can help you stay calm and keep on top of everything.

Budgeting

Any wedding comes with a lot of expenses! But you do need to consider what are the most important costs and budget for your wedding accordingly. It is a must to make a proper budget of the necessary items to avoid spending far more money than you could ever afford. You might also consider consulting with an expert to help you prepare the budget.

To Buy List

Shopping for a wedding can be the most exciting and the most difficult aspect of wedding preparation. Ask any bride, shopping for the dress in particular makes you both anxious and incredibly excited at the same time!

Prepare separate lists of items to be bought according to priority and your budget. You need to think about wedding attire for the groom, bride, bridesmaids and groomsmen, bridal jewellery, any decorations, the cake just to name a few.

Invitation List

A wedding is an event of joy and happiness. It is a special day for the couples and their near and dear ones. People in the lives of the bride and groom are invited to the wedding, but determining who is invited can also take a lot of thought and can be quite stressful.You need to allocate time to deciding who you want, even if it means you might end up offending some people.

Venue and Photographer

The wedding venue is another key factor. Try to find a suitable venue considering the season and the climate. Obviously, you need to make sure the venue can accommodate the invited guests comfortably. Your wedding photos will be viewed for years to come, and a professional photographer can catch the moments perfectly. A good photographer knows how to take wonderful photos without being noticed, so be sure you find someone that comes highly recommended.

Entertainment and Food

The appropriate food items can vary depending on the weather and the guest list. There are some common items like cake and beverages and ensure those suit your guests. There are a variety of cakes and drinks. Contract a baker or caterer to supply the food items in time. Playing a soft music or having a band/DJ during the event is an excellent idea. It will help create the proper environment and put everyone in a great mood.

Plan for Honeymoon

After planing a wedding, organising the honeymoon will feel like a breeze! It's important for a newly wed couple to get away for some quality time together. Many couples prefer isolated, relaxing destinations while others prefer happening places where they can really get out and have a good time. Whatever your preference, make sure your trip is well planned!
