Pearl Rhinestone
Whenever I go to a wedding, I love the magic that is in the air: The nervous yet loving look in the bride and groom’s eyes, the months of careful preparation so that every picture captures the elegance and sweetness of the ceremony, the dress, the shoes, nails, ties and colors are all carefully picked so that not only are you feeling the moment, all your guests feel it to.
There is a certain “thing” about weddings that makes every single one of them unique, even if you can cite the vows word by word. It’s about seeing that happy couple and knowing that even though they know each other’s weaknesses, they are still willing to work it out. It’s about a choice, a choice you made to be with that person and endure till the end.
I’ve attended many weddings throughout my life. And I can honestly say, that some are magical and some not so much. Some brides look happy and beautiful and some look way too stressed out to even be enjoying the moment. Perfectly Presented Online has come with a great site that is designed to help all you brides find what you need in one place, one order and you are almost done, working miracles to your sore tense muscles that not even a masseuse could do!
Let’s capture that magical moment. The classic picture of you and your husband at the church door; newly weds, happy as ever. That picture is what is going to hang on your wall for the rest of your life, the picture that your children and grandchildren will probably know your wedding by. And, you do want that picture to look wonderful so that you can convey a good image to all your posterity, right? That’s why your hair style has to be modern, fresh and absolutely “drop-down dead” gorgeous.
Whether you have long hair, short hair, Perfectly Presented Online has the right wedding hairpiece for you. The variety of wedding hairpieces from wedding hair combs to wedding tiaras is outstanding. Here’s a few tips on how you can do your hair with the wedding hairpieces offered by Perfectly Presented Online to achieve the “gold” picture you have worked so hard for:
If you are the romantic type of bride and have a classic dress that goes perfectly with the princess that you are, then wedding tiaras are for you. Pull your hair up in a bun, leave the bang down flattering your face and accentuating the beautiful make-up that took you hours to do. Clip your veil to your bun and add the wedding tiara on the top of your head crowing you as the princess of the day. The day is yours and you will conquer it!
Now, maybe the princess look is not for you, but you still want something that is elegant and will take the breath away of those that see you. There’s always the option of pulling the hair into a “messy” bun and adding wedding hair combs to your already beautiful hairstyle. You can choose between roses, flowers, feathers and many more that will capture the elegance you are looking for.
Now, if you have short and sassy hair and cannot possibly do the classic bun and veil look. There’s something for you. Take a look at these beautiful rhinestone headbands that compliment your outfit like no other accessory would. Or you can go with the ribbon headband. Any way you choose to go with your hair, there is a wedding hairpiece for you!
Oh! Do be happy on this day! We do want this to be a moment that you will never forget. We want you to have that picture that you know is the one you will remember this moment by. You will love these wedding hairpieces so much, you will want to have daughters to pass these on to. Or, you might even be generous enough to let your future daughter-in-law have it. Enjoy the moment and look beautiful. You owe yourself a happy and stress free day.
We wish you the best!

What to wear to a Ballroom competition?
I have my first ballroom competition coming up in about a month, and I have no idea what to wear. The guidelines for level 1 (which is where I’ll be competing, i suppose) are pretty strict – ‘dress is to be classified as general daywear, eg skirt and blouse or dress. Not allowed: Slacks and after five wear. No metallic or diamonte sequin materials allowed. No decoration allowed (eg rhinestones, sequins, fringing, lace, feathers, pearls etc). No decorations allowed in hair, which must be tied back, using a simple elastic or scrunchy. Buns are also allowed. No jewellery allowed. Plain gold or silver studs the exception.’
How can I still catch the judges’ eyes and look really nice without breaking regulations?
I suppose that I should add that most ‘proper’ ballroom gowns don’t pass as general daywear. And nor do they usually come without substantial decoration, which isn’t allowed.
I’d say, go for cleaner and better lines. That catches the judges attention in a good way. Colors are awesome, but if I have to choose between colors or beatiful body lines I say body lines. Any details of the dress that can move are good too (wide slieves, bows, ruffles on your skirt, wide skirt itself). We humans react to moving objects.
Try to find a skirt and a top in the same color. Better yet, find a dress that is still within the regulations. Some people buy undecorated ballgown, but that might be against the rules too. Advantage of wearing one color is you preserve your lines rather than visually breaking your body into two separate pieces. Keep in mind that your partner is forced to wear 2 different colors for Standard – black pants and white shirt (if you are in the US). So if you add 2 more colors to the scheme then you don’t have much visual unity in your couple.
When I competed lower levels I wore black practice skirt (short for latin and long for standard) and a black top for standrad. The top had a beatuful cut of the neckline that really enhanced the overall look of the couple. It had white decoration aroung the neckline that made it stand out and also gave an optical illusion of even deeper cut. That was one very successful outfit – we made finals and placed well consistently from quarterfinals and first rounds. My latin top was rich blue color. Ruffle skirts can make a lot of difference, especially in Latin. When you move all that fabric is moving too.
If I had the time, I’d make myself pink and purple top and skirt for standard. I even bought the fabric, but I placed out of syllabus division before I got around to it.
Pay particular attention to the slieves: in general, slieves are your friends because they extend the line of your arms. But the fabric needs to be very stretchy and the cup of the slieve is not allowed to stick up when you put your arms in the dance position. If you can’t find anything with “dance-friendly” slieves – go for a halter neck instead.
If you need fashion ideas for dance wear that is not ballgowns visit http://www.dancesport.uk.com they have stuff that’s rather expensive by world famous designers like Chrisanne but that’s the stuff that will look good on the floor. Maybe you can look and find something similar in a store nearby. Also visit http://www.ericaridgeway.com Whatever they have is a little too much but it can give you good ideas. I like her style. http://www.aidadancewear.com is less pricey but less glamorous (aslo beware that fringe is not allowed). http://www.allaboutdance.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.577/.f has pretty good inexpensive skirts (I like top two) but in general that website has ballet stuff that’s too flowy for ballroom.
Practice in your competition dress beforehand to be sure it is as danceable as it seems.
If you have long hair definitely do a bun, don’t leave it in a ponytail. Buns look much more professional at the beginner level. Make sure that not a single strand comes out. Use a lot of gel to secure it. You can make it look really smooth, that looks good and is allowed. The look of the hair is very important. Also, makeup. Hair and makeup is where you can go like a pro all the way, and this makes a lot of difference on how you look. (Hint: decorated pins fly out when you dance, even professionals tend to avoid them). You have a month to practice it, so try it in advance.
Most importantly – have fun. There is nothing else in the world that compares to your first ballroom competition. I’m really happy for you that you got this far. Congratulations.
