Easter Wedding Ideas

Everyone loves a long weekend. What better way to spend it than with a wedding?

Easter provides the perfect time for a wedding – and we’ve had a little fun with ideas for this one.

A good idea is to stick with lots of pastel colours  - think baby pink, light blues, and mint green.

Sandra used baby pinks and mocha colours at her wedding in February!

A great idea if you don’t want a wedding cake! (Or even use them as a gift for the guests)

Hope you enjoyed our Easter-themed Blog – we hope everyone has a very safe and happy Easter!

How to: Lace up a Wedding Dress

There are a million things a bride needs to think about before her special day;

  • Flowers? Check
  • Reception? Check
  • Groomsmen’s suits? Check

Often, learning (or figuring out) how to lace up your wedding dress is so far down the list of important things to remember, it’s forgotton.

Here is a very simple guide on how to do it, so that the panic button isn’t hit the morning of the wedding

1. Put the dress on the bride

Put dress on

2. Adjust the dress so it’s sitting in the correct position on the brides body

3. Make sure the modesty panel (if there is one) is sitting neatly (don’t clip it on both sides as it will buckle when dress is pulled tight)

4. Use a ribbon or a shoelace as a ’waist tie’ to hold the dress in place halfway down the lace-up (depending on the dress about 6-7 loops from the bottom)

Prep

5  . Ensure that the ribbon is centered (so that you don’t run out of ribbon half-way through)Ribbon is in the middle

6. Start lacing from the top down. Alternate loops with the ribbon so that the ribbon criss-crosses across the back of the gown

Start Lacing from top down

7. Lace-up to the waist tie from step 3

8.  Pull tight each loop

9. Finish lacing the rest of the gown

Continue lacing after pulling out waist tie

10. Starting from the top, pull tight each loop and work your way down to the bottom of the gown

Tighten lace-up

11. When the dress has been tightened all the way down – you have two options

Option 1: Tie ribbon in a knot and tuck it down the back of the gown

Knot

Finished lace-up Option 2: Or, tie ribbin in a bow (you can cut off the excess ribbon so that it doesnt drag on the ground)

Bow

12. Enjoy getting ready stress free!

Gold Coast Weddings – Summertime

Summer is always a great time to have a wedding. Every day brings beautiful sunsets, warm evening breezes and the relaxed atmosphere that every bride wants during her special day.

The Gold Coast has always been a popular destination for weddings, and as some of you might know Luv Bridal has just opened a new store with designer wedding dresses on the Gold Coast! The new store boasts two levels of bridal bliss – gowns for the bride, her maids and of course accessories such as veils and tiaras.

Over the last few months we’ve been really busy fitting brides for their summertime weddings. Chiffon gowns are always a popular style as they look great on all shapes and sizes. They also have a lovely soft silhouette which suits all kinds of weddings, whether it’s at the beach, in a garden or on a golf course (all of which can be found on the Gold Coast).

Earlier in the year, Getaway presenter Natalie Gruzlewski got married in Burleigh Heads. Of all the locations that Natalie has traveled to, she chose to be wed in Burleigh – must be a pretty special place! Here are some pics of her;

Your Summertime Bridal Gown

Here are some of the gowns the girls at Luv Bridal would suggest for a Gold Coast summertime wedding;

M1115L - Available in Diamond White and Ivory/Champagne

M9827L - Available in White and Diamond White (with either Purple or White flowers)

C1118Z - Available in White and Diamond White

C1101Z - Available in White/White and Ivory/Dark Ivory

Bridesmaids Gowns

To compliment your beautiful flowy bridal gown Luv Bridal also has some gorgeous bridesmaid’s dresses. Luv can accommodate almost any colour for your girls.

Popular colours for summer weddings are always very bright – think aqua/turquoise, fuchsia and of course lemon.

MB1110 - Available in all Mia Solano Chiffon colours

MB1110 is a perfect style for a beach wedding. It’s nice soft skirt isn’t too dressy but the bodice makes the girls feel very slim and confident (very important). It’s perfect for the bridesmaid who has a fuller bust as they feel secure with the straps. The colour of this dress is Ocean Blue – a beautiful fresh colour which would compliment either a diamond white or white bridal gown.

Reception Dress

The reception dress is becoming more and more popular. E1102 is an Envi Prom gown which has been used as a reception dress for one of our lovely brides. She wanted something to change into after the formalities were over and was definitely more comfortable in this halter dress.

E1102

All gowns can be ordered from either of our stores – please feel free to ring to check for availability or pop in anytime!
