A Look at Wedding Purses

If there's one day when you want to look stunning, it's your wedding day. You also want to be practical on this busy day. You probably would like to carry a few needful things along so you'll have them on-hand as you prepare for the reception or as you drive away into the sunset with your beloved. Bridal handbags are both stunning and practical for this very purpose.

Bridal handbags, or wedding purses, come in all shapes and sizes with many dashing designs, and with just enough room to carry those small personal items such as touch-up powder, eye liner, lipstick, deodorant, a comb or brush, keys, handkerchiefs, or maybe even a little spare change! After the wedding, there are always photos, reception food and drink, and a time of fellowship with family and friends. A bridal handbag allows you to carry a few things along to touch up your hair and makeup as you make the transition from the wedding to the reception.

Types of Bridal Handbags

Bridal handbags are usually very small and easy to carry. They may be decorated with sequins, beads, crystals, lace, ribbons, miniature tassels, or precious stones. Wedding handbags are usually made of materials such as satin, silk, nylon, or polyester.

There are three basic styles of handbags for brides: clutch, fancy, and structured. Clutch bridal purses are typically made of silk or satin, have an inner lining, and do not have straps or handles. Fancy handbags are usually made with elegant designs embellished with precious stones, crystals, or beads. They also come with decorated handles made of metal or cloth with optional shoulder straps. Structured wedding handbags have a stable bottom and are usually made of satin, silk, nylon, or polyester. They also usually have handles and clasps made of metal.

Accentuate Your Wedding Dress

Bridal handbags are a great accessory for your wedding attire. Choose a bridal purse that matches or complements your dress, jewelry, tiara, and wedding shoes. The handbag should be made of the same or similar material as your dress and have similar patterns and designs. If your dress has lace and white pearls, find a wedding purse decorated with lace and white pearls (or beads that resemble pearls).

Choose a bridal handbag that fits your style and your figure. The handbag should be easy to handle and not too large. You don't want to attract too much attention to your wedding purse. It shouldn't stand out, but it should blend with your other attire. It should add a touch of elegance without dominating the reception photos.

Wedding Handbags as Bridesmaid Gifts

Wedding handbags can also be ordered to match the dresses
of bridesmaids and given as gifts from the bride. Choose handbags that your bridesmaids can use for other occasions, not only at the wedding. Every woman and girl loves a new handbag, so these make excellent gifts!

If you're not sure where to shop for bridal handbags, you can find a variety of styles online along with other wedding accessories such as tiaras, ring cushions, jewelry, and more. Use these tips to find a lovely bridal handbag for your special day!

Three Steps to Designing a Tee-Shirt

A number of technologies exist today, from inkjet transfers to online designers, which make designing and printing your own t-shirts easy and affordable. But ease of production doesn't guarantee a good design. The following are three design components to consider when creating a design for a t-shirt: Contrast, Size, and Balance.

Contrast is the difference in *brightness* between colors. You want to have contrast between your ink colors and your shirt. For example, bright yellow, a perfectly good color, is not good for text on a white shirt because white and yellow are similar in brightness. It's very difficult to read yellow letters on a white background. Dark colored inks, likewise, do not show up well on dark colored shirts. Navy blue ink, for example, won't show up on a black shirt (or a burgundy shirt, or forest green, etc...).

Another area where you need to consider contrast is the graphic itself. A graphic (or multicolored font) that is made up of a group of similar colors, such as dark blue, deep purple, and black, will be hard to distinguish; the lines and colors will visually blur together. Contrast between light and dark colors will make your graphics easy to recognize.

Size does matter when it comes to shirt design. Bigger is usually better for both text and graphic elements. Your design needs to be able to be read from around six to eight feet away. Keep your text relatively simple, or at least have a major few words that are large and easily seen. People don't have the time or inclination to read a paragraph of text on a shirt. You have about 3 seconds to get your message across before the shirt has passed by. While smaller text can be used, remember to save it for information that is less important than your main idea since it will be less easily seen.

Balance refers to the overall distribution of text and images on your shirt. A layout is described as being "heavy" where there is a lot of imagery or thick, full, font styles. As the word implies, when there is an area that is heavy (or light), there needs to be a similar area on the other side. Balance can be focused either left/right or top/bottom. As a design element, balance is an area where there is the most leeway for "breaking the rules". Many times an off-balance, asymmetric design can be very energetic. But for a classic, clean design remember to keep your elements balanced.

If you are conscious of Contrast, Size, and Balance when designing your t-shirt, you will be well on your way to a result that will be visually pleasing to both you and your audience.

The Human Love Affair with Jewelry




Man's love for ornaments goes back to the earliest days of human civilization. Starting from the ancient Egyptian rule to the medieval days of Chinese empire, and ranging as far back in the ancient era when the indigenous populace solely occupied America, we have sufficient proof to showcase how men and women wore all forms of ornaments. In fact, some recent findings even suggest that ornamental beads were being produced as far back as 100K years ago.

Incidentally, jewelry was never meant for beautifying one's body in the earlier times, and was intended more for practical uses, such as pinning clothes together or family wealth storage. In the contemporary world however, it's manly used now for decorating bodies. We can find, as a result, two different categories of ornaments getting evolved with time as we trace back its history. Obviously these two different forms were meant for men and women respectively. Men preferred adorning themselves with the sturdier jewelry items, such as heavier gold chains and wider rings that could have expensive stones studded inside them, to display their wealth and power, while women chose wearing sleek nose rings, earrings, bracelets etc, to enhance their feminine outlook.

Many historical societies had set norms for wearing ornaments. This often made it very hard for commoners even to dream of buying, leave aside wearing precious metals. There are no such restrictions in today's world however, as people could buy whatever they wished for and had the capacity to purchase it. It should still sound natural to imagine that only the rich might wear the most precious jewelry items even today, since no law on earth has made it possible to bring down the gap of rich and poor until this date.

Varying trends based on one's religious and political identities, socio-economic realities, and differing cultural ethos could still be traced out in today's jewelry fashions, hence the divisions remain in some or the other ways. Many of today's young generation might find navel piercing a way of bold defiance. Similarly, you might see a completely new class of jewelry lovers who will buy ornaments just for its aesthetic value and not for the rare materials involved.

Many well known ornaments like gold chains, bracelets, earrings etc, could be seen in all time zones if you looked across the world. However, some products like gold chains and rings are equally popular in men and women buyers both. The difference could often be seen in the overall sizes they come with and the rare metals involved in manufacturing those items, which has already been spoken about in this write-up earlier. Some very popular gold chain types could be named as Box, Byzantine, Curb, Figaro, Mesh, Omega etc. Each of these normally has a distinct way of getting manufactured. For example, Curb comes with a series of interlocked, oblong and beveled rings, while Figaro, which has a similar pattern that of Curb, will normally have a ring twice as long as others after a gap of every three links.

The market for jewelry items continues to grow all out, and remains one of the most lucrative ones around the globe. Some very big ornament makers could be seen operating internationally, including those based in the USA. One could buy items from these companies by going to their official websites, and entering the required information, which hardly takes making a few mouse-clicks at any given moment. Several dozen websites from the USA and elsewhere could be seen competing for your orders in this manner, leading out into a cost reduction for you to your surprise.

Masses can afford to purchase it because of its affordability than any other precious metals. Silver jewelry is gaining its popularity nowadays.

The Newest Diamond Engagement Rings

The engagement ring is a symbol of a promise. The promise is the intention to marry. Such "promise" or "betrothal" rings have probably been around since the 4th century, but their style and has changed dramatically, even if the meaning and tradition remains unchanged.

It began with the Roman Empire. Those betrothed wore an iron ring in private and adorned a more elaborate gold ring during public appearances. The traditional diamond engagement ring didn't come into play until about the 18th Century. Prior to that, other gem stones started coming into play to dress up the plain gold band.

Selecting an engagement ring with diamonds is an education in and of itself. One learns quickly about the 4 Cs of selecting a diamond. Understanding the 4 Cs will help you make the best choice for your budget.

The 4Cs consist of "Cut," "Clarity," Carat," and "Colour."
Cut: The cut refers to the shape of the diamond. This can be round, oval, princess (a square shape), Emerald (more rectangular like an emerald), or marquis (pointed on either end.) The cut can greatly impact the brilliance because certain cuts provide more facets to the diamond therefore the opportunity for more light to reflect. A round cut has the greatest number of facets, and if properly proportioned, will appear the most brilliant. An emerald cut diamond has the fewest facets, so larger stones are need to make an impressive display.

Clarity: All diamonds, except the most rare, has some kind of mark, nick, or cloudiness to them caused by flaws. The clarity of the diamond is measured by an alphabetical and numerical scale with the diamonds in the "F" category being completely flawless. Most average jewelry stores carry diamonds in the range of VS1 to S1 ratings where slight flaws are still very difficult to see at 10x magnification.


Carat: Carat is the weight of the diamond. Many eager young couples focus too much on size. A one-carat diamond can be impressive, but if the quality of colour and cut don't compare with the size, it will not be such a brilliant looking ring. Many couples opt to have a better quality diamond that in the proper setting appears large and put more emphasis on clarity and colour.

Colour: The colour of a diamond is also measured alphabetically. D-I are the whitest, with D being the very whitest. A diamond rated J-L will still be near colourless. The farther down the scale the more yellow the diamond will appear. There are some people who value a large, perfectly cut yellow diamond, but most traditional engagement rings focus on the brilliant white appearance.

Diamond Engagement Rings Today
If you are not necessarily one to stick with tradition, then you may choose an antique ring with smaller diamonds. It may be a sapphire ring with diamonds on the side.

The role of religion or tradition may play into your decision about your engagement ring. If you are Jewish or Christian you may want a ring with meaning related to your faith. A Celtic ring may be a must for those of Irish decent or others who love the rich tradition behind the intricate scroll work.

Whatever style you prefer, just be sure to shop around. There are so many different qualities that make up a special engagement ring, that you can't rely on price alone to tell you its value.

A Brief History of Rings

Richard Joyce along with the crew on a fishing boat from the village of Claddagh, Ireland, was captured the same week he was supposed to be married. Goldsmithing was Richard Joyce's trade while he was enslaved. While he was captured, neither married. Richard Joyce made a ring for his beloved that had two hands holding a heart for love and a crown for loyalty.

Joyce escaped from his captors and returned to Claddagh where he was excited to see his love again and know she had never married. She never gave up hope of his return to her. He gave her the ring that is known as the Claddagh ring. Wearing the Claddagh on your right hand, crown inward means that you are letting people know that you are single.

The person who wears the Claddagh on the right hand with the crown outward is in a committed relationship. Wearing the Claddagh with the crown outward on your left hand says Let our love and friendship reign forever, never to be separated. There are many reasons for wearing rings, one is adornment. Rewards for a job well done include rings such as the one given after the Super Bowl victory.


Rings such as engagement rings and wedding rings symbolize commitment. Women Religious wear rings to show their commitment to God. You can use almost any material to make rings now. Plastic, silver, copper, gold or even wood can be use to make them. Ceramic materials can be used as well.

Rings can be very simple or of something as intricate as filigree. Rings can be plain and simple or be adorned with jewels and/or gemstones, as is the case of birthstone rings. There is a birthstone for each month with its own meaning.

It is believed that February's birthstone the Amethyst helps soldiers in battle, hunters to catch prey, control evil thoughts and help the owner have success in business. In order to prevent seasickness, keep them safe, and gain courage and foresight, sailors use the Aquamarine, the stone for March.

The Diamond is April's stone and is the symbol of strength, courage and invincibility. The diamond is the greatest gift of love. In 1477 Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave a diamond to Mary of Burgundy which started the tradition of engagement rings. The Emerald is the birthstone for May and believed to sharpen the eyesight and mind of the wearer.

As protection against the hazards of long trips travelers used Emeralds. The owner of the Emerald is said to be given the power to predict the future because of its green color. The pearl is the birthstone of June and fresh water pearls are said to give the power of protection, luck, and love.

Selecting Your Jewelry


What's most important is that your jewelry matches up with your outfit. Your jewelry is the finishing touch on your total look. Make your fashion statement count!

You need to determine what you want your jewelry to do. Do you want it front and center stage? Do you want it to compliment? Do you want it subtle? The occasion or event you'll be wearing your jewelry to is also important - make certain it is fitting. A sexy oversized choker might be perfect for a night on the town but may not be fitting for the boardroom.




Although you may have a favorite designer. There's really no need to stick with just one designer. In fact there's no need for the pieces to actually be designer. There are plenty of wonderful pieces on the market that are unsigned but certainly make a fashion statement. Mix and match your jewelry to give it character and a little pizzaz!

Costume Jewelry, both signed and unsigned, is an affordable way to complete your look. Costume Jewelry can be bought for a low price and has plenty of life. Heck we see costume jewelry back to the 1920s still in excellent condition. What's great with costume jewelry is you can use it, get tired of it, put it away or give it away and have still gotten good value for your money.

Designer pieces tend to cost a little more, last a little longer, and they usually follow more traditional lines so you can wear them for more than one or two seasons.

Sterling Silver is affordable and very versatile. If you don't want to spend the money for sterling, then purchase some silver plate pieces. Silver is a must have to any wardrobe! You can go from dainty and delicate to large and noticeable. It can be dressed up or down and is acceptable for any event or occasion.

We always recommend have some gold plate or gold tone pieces in your wardrobe basics also. 10-14k gold may be a bit too pricey for many but gold plated jewelry is quite affordable and will give you good value for the cost. Gold like silver can be dressed up or dressed down and is perfect for a very classy look.
When purchasing rings you can have great fun - again the choices are endless from large and overwhelming to dainty and feminine. The length and size of your fingers plays an important role in what will look good. For example long skinny fingers don't look good with huge oversized rings, yet a woman that has long thicker fingers they look exquisite. Long nails? Short nails? it all makes a difference. Play and see what you like what looks good. Also determine where you will be wearing these rings. For example if your working around fine fabrics you'll not want any rings that have sharp edges that could snag. Your rings are also part of your total statement.

When purchasing necklaces be certain you know your neck size so that you get a good fit. This is very important when purchasing on line as you don't get a chance to try. If your neck is average in size then a 16" necklace will look great, however if you have a somewhat larger than average neck then a 16" necklace could be too tight. Measure the length of some of your favourite necklaces you already own. This will give you a good indication of what length you prefer. Opera necklaces which are over 30" are terrific. They can be double wrapped, knotted, or whatever else your imagination comes up with. When choosing colored necklaces make sure its a color that compliments your skin tone. It may match your outfit fabulously but if it doesn't match or compliment your skin tone your look could be lost.

When purchasing bracelets you'll need to decide where you're going to wear them, and how noticeable you want them to be. The availability of size and shape is endless - you can go from large bangle bracelets to dainy gem bracelets. If it is a slip on bracelet be sure that it will fit over your hand. Make certain to measure your wrist as the fit of a bracelet is very important. To large and it will look sloppy and may even slide off. Too small can constrict your wrist movement.

When purchasing earrings - the shapes and styles are endless - from dangles to chandeliers to hoops to studs to buttons. From enamel to beads to gems to metal to wood. Size of the earrings is very important to the statement your making. The larger the earring the more noticeable and the more incorporated they become into your total look. Large earrings aren't for everyone - depending on your face size and shape they may actually detract rather than attract. Experiment and find what looks best on you.

Little Black Dresses

The little black dress is a timeless classic, pioneered by Coco Chanel, who liberated us from corsets and frills, so it’s a statement of independence and elegance. Coco intended for the little black dress to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable and accessible and to the widest market possible, which it is without doubt what it is deemed today.

The little black dress is easy to wear and easy to style, an elegant black dress can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion: for example, worn with a jacket and pumps for daytime business wear or with more ornate accessories for the evening. Wearing your dress with a blazer or sweater and some knee length boots is a great look for work or an interview.

A girl must always have the perfect LBD in her wardrobe as it will always make you look elegant and glamorous. One can never go wrong with a little black dress. They add versatility to your wardrobe making it well worth the purchase. Black never fades, it always goes with the trends and you can mix and match it with anything. You can choose your perfect LBD to suit your size and shape. You don't have to be a skinny stick to wear one. More voluptuous girls can wear them

too. The LBD is perfect for that slimming affect.

Your dress can also go on holiday with you and will be perfect for a stunning look quickly. Whether you're heading off to a class reunion or walking the decks of a cruise ship, the little black dress is a no-fail option. Look for details that flatter your shape (strapless to show off great shoulders; waist details to optimize an hourglass shape) and pick a length anywhere from mini to right below the knee for the most versatile look. Be sure to choose a material
that resists wrinkles and dries quickly and you are ready for any fashion emergency. An LBD is a wardrobe staple that will go with all your new fashion finds from magpie antique jewels to colourful shoes and jazzy tights. Black fashion is a staple on the international

catwalks and is a shade that people will never tire of seeing it’s poetic and romantic with a hint of sensuality.

Famous little black dresses include Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, who epitomised the style of Coco Chanel, adorning her LBD with pearls in the film. Wallis Warfield Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, was known to own several little black dresses and said much in praise of the garments. She was quoted saying: “When a little black dress is right, there is nothing else to wear in its place.”

Edith Piaf, the French folk icon, performed in a black sheath dress throughout her career, for this habit she was nicknamed “little black sparrow." It was thought that the dress helped audiences to focus more on Edith Piaf's singing and less on her appearance.

Black is slimming and is great when we don’t have the time or inclination to go to the gym. Great for the more fuller-figure lady as it will create a more svelte silhouette. It is the answer to every, ‘what should I wear to the’ question, from cocktail parties, night-clubs to the theatre.
