Wedding Wednesday: Being a bridesmaid

    On Saturday, November 17th my sister in law, MARS, got married to her soul mate/best friend. I had the honour of being a madrina (bridesmaid) that evening, it was very stress-free, easy and FUN! I say easy because her only requirement of her bridesmaids was to wear a red dress. She gave us the freedom to choose whatever shoes we and accessories we wanted to wear; and how to do our makeup and hair. Honestly, I don't know how to do my makeup/hair all glam, so I got my hair and makeup done that afternoon by a great team from Puerto Vallarta. They also did the hair and makeup for both my sils and mother in law :)
I got my hair done in my go to side fishtail braid with a beachy twist (aka messy but not) since the wedding was at the beach. And the MUA did what he pleased with my face, all he asked me was the color of my dress, and voila...

Gracias MARS por darme el privilegio y honour de ser tu madrina de Lazo. Fue una increible experiencia poder ser parte de tu dia. Que Dios los Bendiga con mucho amor, paciencia y salud! I love you so much big sis!
Have you been a bridesmaid before, what was your experience like?

What am I going to wear to the wedding?


Best Dresses To Wear To A Wedding In 2012/2013
So you’ve excitedly received a wedding invitation and the first thing you ask yourself is “what am I going to wear?” If there is one fashion faux pas when it comes to wedding fashion then it’s outshining the bride – so how can you make sure you look the part without stealing the show?

Long and Strapless
There is something about long strapless dresses that denotes sophisticated glamour. We all want to stand out at a wedding and wearing a fabulous long dress will certainly warrant a few glances to be made your way. The strapless option will give the dress a sexy feel, showing a little (but not too much) skin. Whilst long strapless dresses are usually considered timeless dresses for wedding guests, this style of dress is particularly in fashion for the 2012/2013 season – and even brides are getting in on the action!
For guests, opt to wear bright and bold colours such as yellow or green and place a skinny belt around your waist. A great wedding look for the 2012/2013 season is to keep hair and make-up neutral, with less most definitely being more. In terms of shoes, the long length of the dress is perfectly suited to high heels but make sure you don’t go too high or you may find yourself teetering into trouble.

Tunics
If you’ve got a great pair of legs there is no occasion quite like a wedding to show them off. Tunics are one of the best styles of dresses to wear to a wedding if you want to stand out from the crowd and for 2012/2013, these dresses are all about being emblazoned in bold patterns and bright colours.If you are going to a winter wedding then be sure to ‘winterise’ a bright and flowery tunic by wearing a pair of tights with it and grab some super high heels to show of those stunning legs!

Sequined 
Dresses for wedding guests are designed to be noticed and there is nothing quite as noticeable as a sequined dress that literally sparkles. Sequined dresses that are tightly fitted and fall just above the knee are particularly fashionable for the 2012/2013 Winter season and when worn with a pair of high heels of knee high boots will be the perfect outfit for a winter wedding. Don’t forget to wear a good pair of tights underneath to keep the chill off your legs and grab a shawl or bolero to cover your arms and shoulders when outside.
