Tip from the Pro:

Owner/Designer Bridal Perfections


Underlying Secrets
The foundation of the Wedding gown

Worn hidden away is an underlying secret that will make or break the fit of
even the most expensive wedding gown. The cut of the bustier should mimic
the cut of your gown bodice.  For example, if your gown has a dropped waist
your bustier should not stop at your waist. The bustier must not show at the
neckline or have boning that is so thick that it shows under your gown. Sewn
in cups and tape or self-adhering gel cups are also an option. What ever
your decide,  I suggest wearing your foundation selection once or twice for
up to six hours before your special day... you don't want to find out on
your wedding day that it's unbearable or just doesn't work. Proper selection of
foundations will enhance the look and fit of your bridal gown giving you
that perfectly finished look and the comfort to enjoy your magical wedding
day.

Trivia

The history behind the Best Man:
Among the Germanic Goths of northern Europe in 200 A.D., a man usually married a woman from within his own community. However, when there were fewer women, the prospective bridegroom would capture his bride from a neighboring village. The bridegroom was accompanied by his strongest friend (or best friend), who helped him capture his bride.

Questions for Kiya:  Kiya S. Sakaris,
C.P.C.C.

Question:  Dear Kiya,  I would like to prepare myself for marriage but I tend to be controlling, possessive and insecure.  How do I overcome these negative traits to become a better person and find one true love? ~ Les

Answer: 
Dear Les,
Controlling, possessive and insecure behaviors are traits that all go hand in hand. Most of the time, you can’t have one without the other. Insecurity usually brings other types of behaviors to the surface, such as, control, possession, obsession, anger or paranoia. The best way to plan for your future is to work on any insecurities you might have. Another way to look at it is to build as much confidence as possible. There are many ways to build confidence and I will list many of the pertinent ways below.
1. Do things for others. Helping others can help you to concentrate on them instead of your own worries. Sometimes, just the fact that one knows they have these traits can enhance them. To alleviate insecurity, look to help and care for other people.
2. Never put anyone down. Every time a person makes a negative comment towards another, they become withdrawn inside. If you are sincerely happy for a person, without jealousy or hindrance, you build on your essence, as a quality person.
3. Exercise and eat a healthy diet. A diet that is full of nutrients will give you the proper vitamins and minerals that a person needs to create and expel endorphins, naturally. Exercise always makes a person feel good about themselves as well as creating those important chemicals in your body.
4. Believe in fate. If you believe that there is only so much you can control; the rest is a waste of time and energy. Let life take it's course and let things happen. You can usually find a valuable lesson in it and a way to grow as a person, because of it.
5. Let go of the ones that you love. The more you let others do what they want to do, the more they will choose to be with you. When people are fenced in or smothered, the more they want to stay away or leave. Nobody wants to have restrictions or boundaries. It is like a form of punishment.
6. Do the right thing. Follow the rules, live your life to the best of your ability. Stay away from trouble or bending the rules.
7. Be independent. Do as much as you can on your own without the help of others, unless you are truly in need. Learn how to do things that you do not already know, for example, building, cooking, hiking, sewing, mechanics, etc.
Become well rounded and be proud of what you have learned and accomplished.
Hope this helps a little! You can do whatever you put your mind to, so if you want to change some personality traits, it is up to you. You will do great and you will find a gal soon. Just practice these qualities and it will come.
Take care and good luck!
Kiya Sakaris, C.P.C.C.
