My boyfriend and I are planning our wedding, but we intend on a very long engagement. Our date is for 2014 right now. My problem is that I have found the dress of my dreams in Vera Wang's Fall 2010 collection. I am worried that when the time comes to walk down the isle Vera Wang will no longer have that particular dress.


Answer
They discontinue dresses all the time so if you found the one you want then get it now and save it. Its very hard to get a discontinued dress. If you change your mind you can always sell it on ebay or something.

What colors would look good with a main color of Royal Blue for a winter wedding?

We're looking at Royal blue as the main color for our January 2014 wedding. Brown would be one of the accents for certain, as the jerkin my fiance will be wearing is brown (yes, a jerkin. Its a Ren wedding.); Silver is another given that I know I want. The flowers are what's giving me a bit of a fit. I was thinking maybe some white blooms and several shades of blue?


Answer
With winter weddings I think of cool, clean, crisp as in new fallen snow and the crystal clarity of ice (maybe not very practical). Don't know the type gown you are wearing but the kind with the long draping sleeves that end in a point lined in silver would be beautiful. I digress, sorry, but love ren weddings//also brocades// In looking at ren weddings, ivy-lots of it is a given, bridal bouquets were large and hand tied.
Wheat was often added as a sign of fertility and many herbs. Also birch twigs and holly. With royal I like the silver, ivory or white and other shades of blue. Although bouquets of ren weddings were made from flowers (many wildflowers) whatever was available with many flower garlands and drapings.(google cosmos and anemones) Many brides wore floral circlets in their hair, braided or an updo of some kind with silver and pearl hanging ribbons and loops of pearls, never worn down loose. ( I love a single pearl teardrop on the forehead with a coronet or circlet of silver and pearls with small white flowers intermixed) White roses or be careful as many roses even though they say white are ivory. I would have a bouquet of several colors. Burgundy(to me burgundy is more of a winter color, not a true red-if you do use red red, no pinks, go with blues and lavenders and ivory flowers) roses to enhance the elegance of the royal blue and I would assume in ren times that red flowers were readily available, white lillies, blue delphinium, shades of pinks that will blend with the burgundy, ivy or silk ivy and some ivy loops within the bouquet itself with long ribbon streamers and the small ivy hanging down. Hand tied with silver/grayish silver ribbon with silver and pearl streamers, a very large bouquet depending on your size.Lots of silver and be careful of the way you arrange so as to not look too militarish. Even peach/coral could be substituted for the red/burgundy--I just love burgundy/mauve/ivory combo with the royal. Ivory rather than white would blend well with the brown jerkin as well as the twigs/decorative branches/just go out in the woods and look around. Also add the lacy Queen Anne's lace in your bouquet, very antiquish looking, also leaves of the gray dusty miller. Ask florist.
