Traditions: Then and Now - Wedding Gifts

Clearing out my emails today and came across a blog article titled "Why We Give Wedding Gifts".  Informative if nothing else, but finding out that Macy's began their bridal registry services in 1924.

Times have for sure changed.  Statistically, more couples have lived together before marriage, and most retailers says that registering for appliances and household goods are down.  Personally, I blame it more on the fact that a Vitamix is $600, and  people aren't comfortable asking someone to buy them a $600 blender.

Wedding Trends - High-Low Wedding Dresses

Even though they have been around for a few years asymmetrical styles continue to be a very popular style among brides.

The high-low or as more commonly referred to, the hi-lo dress continues to show up in many designers collections for remainder of 2014.

These designs work well for those that have toned legs, so keep that in mind when thinking of your pre-wedding workout.

If you want a dress that gives you the appeal of a long dress, but delivers a fun and flirty attitude, consider the high-low option.
