Tips For Handling The Toasts At Your Wedding

Once the "I do's" are done and the reception has started, that's when the toasts generally begin. There are a few people that should be heard from and some important things that need to be said. This can cause some awkward moments if you don't have a plan, so Angelus Bridal & Formals put together a few tips so everything can go as smoothly as possible. 


BRIDE & GROOM TOASTS
It is important to thank all of your guests for joining you on this very special day. Plan a point during the reception when you and your groom can do this. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

  • Think ahead: It is perfectly okay to speak from the heart with whatever comes to mind in the moment, but it's wise to have an idea of what you will say ahead of time. Think about the important things you don't want to forget to mention, and come up with a good closing line.
  • Keep it short & sweet: Even if there is a lot that you want to say, any speech longer than 3-5 minutes may lose your audience's attention. 
  • Speak clearly: Don't talk too quickly, and make sure that you speak loud enough so that everyone can hear you. 


WEDDING PARTY TOASTS
Traditionally, there are certain people that are expected to say a few words in honor of the bride & groom. You will want to give them a few guidelines so that the toasts don't get embarrassing or run too long. 

  • Choose who will toast: It is acceptable for you to pick and choose who you will allow to give a toast at your wedding. This way you can monitor how many take place and how long they will last. Ask first, and don't force anyone to speak that is not comfortable doing so. Generally, toasts are expected from the best man, the maid/matron of honor, and the couple's parents. 
  • Give them a time limit: Even if they are great at entertaining a crowd, lots of long-winded speeches may make your guests antsy. Ask them to keep it under 5 minutes. 
  • Schedule the toasts: The time that toasts are expected to happen should be included when you plan your wedding day timeline. If there are quite a few, space them out throughout the day so they don't last too long all at once. Someone could propose a toast at the cocktail hour, another before dinner, and others during dinner or before dancing.
  • Know it's okay to say "no thank you": If you are worried about toasts taking up too much time during your reception, it's okay to request that those other than the people listed above refrain from toasting. You can do this by letting the DJ know that no one should be given the microphone without your permission. Also, if a person has been drinking heavily or is prone to telling inappropriate stories, you definitely do not want them to have unnecessary attention.   


Hopefully the tips above can help you to plan a wedding that runs smoothly and is pleasant for everyone involved. Angelus Bridal has had the pleasure of knowing many brides over the years, and we have learned a few things from their experiences. Our own personal experience with wedding fashion has made us experts on that particular subject. If you are looking for your dream wedding dress, fashionable bridesmaid dresses, or something beautiful for your mother to wear, our South Florida bridal salon would love to help you out.

Fun Wedding Favors Your Guests Will Love

Wedding favors aren't something that you absolutely have to have at your wedding, but it's a great way to add a little whimsy and say thank you to the guests for sharing your special day. It's also a perfect place to personalize the event. Angelus Bridal has listed a few of our favorite wedding favors for you here. Your guests won't be leaving these behind after the reception! 


1. Something tasty.
Everyone loves to receive delicious treats. There are plenty of adorable ways to turn fun food into your wedding favors. Jars of honey are cute if you are "meant to bee" or jars of jam to "spread the love," packages of Hershey's Hugs & Kisses, or heart sugar cookies with your new monogram iced onto them. Food favors always put a smile on guests' faces.   

2. Local flair.
Look to your wedding location for clever favor ideas. If you are getting married on the beach, send beautiful seashells you've collected home with your guests. Share something the town is known for, like Atlantic City is famous for salt water taffy and Florida is known for growing amazing oranges. If you and the groom went to the same high school or college, incorporate the school emblem in some way. Local items make for wonderful mementos of the day.   

3. Seasonal symbols.
Fall is the perfect time to put a mini pumpkin at each place setting, and you can even go the extra step and write each guest's name on one. If you are planning a Christmas ceremony, a beautiful ornament for everybody is a great gift. A walk through the seasonal aisle in any store should give you some excellent ideas, and if you plan a year in advance, you can pick some up after the season for a discount.   

4. Your favorite things.
What do you and your groom love? Chances are, your guests will love those things too. If not, maybe knowing you are interested in it will pique their interest. If you both love baseball, offer peanuts and cracker jacks for your guests. If you are wine-lovers, give everyone a lovely wine topper. Avid bookworms could visit the local used book store and give every guest something to take home and read. 

5. Something to last.
What we mean by that is an item that will live on after the wedding, just like your love. Small plants or potted flowers are sweet favors that can double as table decor. You could also give each guest a pretty pot and seeds to plant on their own so they can continue to "watch your love grow!"


Wedding favors aren't a necessity, but if you have room in your budget, they can be lots of fun. A wedding dress, on the other hand, is something you will definitely need to have for your big day. The best bridal gowns in South Florida can be found at Angelus Bridal & Formals, and we have years of experience in helping brides find the perfect one. When you are ready to go shopping, give us a call.

20 Ideas to Keep Romance Alive While Wedding Planning

If you are planning a wedding, most people would assume that you are in a romantic state of mind all of the time, but the stress of planning all of those details is anything but romantic. August happens to be Romance Awareness Month, which is a wonderful reminder to take time out to appreciate that person you are about to join in holy matrimony. Angelus Bridal has a few great ideas for you to make sure that happens. 


It's extremely important for the future bride and groom to carve out "couple's only time," where absolutely no wedding talk is allowed. You will want that stress-free time to remind yourself what it's all about - the fact that you love this person and want to spend the rest of your lives together. Find a way to work a few of the following ideas into your daily routine.

  1. Love Notes: Write short "I love you" notes and hide them around the house, in the car, in their jacket pocket, etc...
  2. Scavenger Hunt: Turn those love notes into clues with a special surprise waiting at the end.
  3. Follow the Trail: Instead of clues, make a trail to follow of candy kisses, rose petals, etc...
  4. Breakfast in Bed: Sneak out of bed early and surprise them with a tasty tray.
  5. Date Night: Get out your calendars and put a weekly date night on the schedule. Once it's written down, it's more likely to happen.
  6. Hold Hands: Whether out shopping, walking in the park, or simply walking down the hall at home, take their hand.
  7. 15-Second Kiss: It's impossible to not melt into romantic bliss with a full 15 seconds of smooching. An amazing stress reliever.
  8. Movie Marathon: Tune out the world and cuddle together on the couch for some binge-watching.
  9. Dinner by Candlelight: Even if it's just sandwiches, the meal will seem a little more special.
  10. Road Trip: No plans necessary, just get in the car and see where you end up.
  11. Amusement Park: Be kids again for a day and ride all the rides.
  12. Picnic in the Park: Pack up some food and a nice bottle of wine and go for a lovely outdoor meal.
  13. Watch a Sunset: Set your alarm to go outside and watch the sun go down together.
  14. Turn Back Time: Visit the place where the two of you met.
  15. Personal Masseuse: Surprise them after a rough day with a relaxing back rub. 
  16. Bath Time: Run a nice, hot, bubbly bath, light some candles, and tell them to take some time out to enjoy.
  17. Do Their Chores: Take on their most hated chore before they have a chance to do it.
  18. Dance: Turn on some music in the middle of the day and take a dance break together.
  19. Fresh Flowers: Ladies love a bright bouquet, and flowers can perk up a fella's day too. 
  20. Say I Love You: Don't let a day slip by without reminding them of these three simple yet extremely important words. 

Your wedding day will be full of romance and love, and there is absolutely no reason why you can't have that every day before, and after, the wedding too. Take if from us here at your favorite bridal salon in South Florida, as long as you always remember to remind each other of the love that you share, your marriage will be a happy and successful one.

7 Tasks to Tackle When You Agree to Be a Bridesmaid

We usually use our blog to speak directly to the bride, but this one is all about the bridesmaids. It is full of things that can be done to help the bride both before and during the wedding. Please share these tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals with all of your bridesmaids.    


Purchase a Bridesmaid Dress

One of the first things to be done is to find and purchase something stunning to wear. Our South Florida bridal boutique carries a large variety of the most fashionable bridesmaid dresses from many amazing designers. You will want to begin budgeting for the dress and accessories as soon as you say yes to being a bridesmaid. 

Most of the bridesmaid gowns that you see on our website can be found in stock in our Pompano Beach wedding dress store, so you will be able to try on lots of different styles when you come in. We feature fabulous fashions from Allure Bridals, Bella Bridesmaids by Venus Bridal, Bill Levkoff, and Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner. 

We also have an extra-special bonus available every day. If the bride buys a wedding dress on her first visit to Angelus Bridal & Formals, each bridesmaid dress will be given a $30 discount. (Discount applies to gowns priced $159.95 or more. If the price is less than that, a 10% discount will be offered.)    




Be the Bride's Personal Assistant

Wedding planning involves lots and lots of decisions and errands, which can be both time-consuming and stressful. Let the bride know that you are available to assist her when she needs it. Run errands, help with DIY projects, give input on her dress (if she asks for it), and generally offer to be there when it all gets to be too much for her to handle alone. 


Offer Emotional Support

You are a bridesmaid because you are a very close friend or family member, and the bride loves and trusts you. One of your most important jobs will be simply to listen. Whether the bride is gushing about wedding details, complaining about the things that aren't going right, or de-stressing with an emotional crying session, you simply smile, nod, and offer comfort. This is a once in a lifetime event with a roller coaster of emotions attached. Give her the support she needs to get through it.   


Plan Pre-Wedding Parties 

A bridal shower and the bachelorette party are both events that are not planned by the bride or groom, so the bridesmaids take these tasks over. She can give you a guest list, but the theme, activities, and all the other decisions are up to you guys. 


Attend Wedding Related Events

As a member of the wedding party, if your schedule allows, you are expected to attend any wedding related events before the big day. This includes engagement parties, multiple showers, and bridal luncheons. Please note, even if you attend every bridal shower, only one gift is expected. You will need to make time to attend the wedding rehearsal too, so that there are no surprises on the wedding day.


Take Care of the Bride

You have been providing support during the planning process, but on the big day, your job's not over yet. You will be there to help the bride get ready before the ceremony. Make sure she eats and stays hydrated throughout the day, keep track of her cell phone and other items, help to bustle her dress, and even assist her when she needs to use the restroom. (That's a difficult task to tackle alone in a full skirt!) You do the worrying and thinking for the bride and just let her enjoy the day.   


Play Co-Host 

You have the inside scoop, so you can help to make sure guests know when they should be someplace and where to go. Be ready to give a toast to the happy couple if asked. Also, it is your job, along with the groomsmen, to make sure everyone gets out on that dance floor and keeps the party going all night long.  



There are lots of things that you can do to help the bride enjoy this very special time in her life. When you are helping someone that you care deeply for, it's not work, but a pleasure and an honor to help in any way. 

That's how we feel about the women that shop at our Pompano Beach wedding gown store. We care deeply about each and every one of you. When you come into Angelus Bridal & Formals, we will take the time to put you in a dress that makes you look and feel like the magnificent woman you are.

6 Popular 2016 Wedding Trends We Love

Every year brings along with it trends that many brides gravitate toward. Angelus Bridal & Formals loves seeing how much things change, yet still stay very similar. Some trends come and go, only to come back again, while others are timeless. 

Our South Florida bridal gown store sees many amazing trends in wedding fashions and decor. Not all of them are for everyone, but they are definitely great inspiration when you are deciding on your own personal wedding style. 

Wedding Dresses with V-necks and Low Backs

Showing a bit of extra skin seems to be very popular this season. Some brides choose to wear a deep V-neck in the front, while others lean toward wedding dresses with very low backs, or backs with elegant cutouts. A stunning look straight off the runway.  


Drone Photographs

The point of view that can be achieved in your wedding photos by having a drone record footage is amazing. It's perfect for getting pictures of everyone in your wedding, including guests, all in one shot. Drones are great for capturing a video of the wedding processional. Some of our favorite pictures have the bride on the ground with the skirt of her bridal gown elegantly flared out around her. 


Floral Patterns

Beautiful blooms are showing up on more than the table decor and bouquets. Bridesmaid dresses adorned with floral patterns bring a beautiful burst of lively color to a wedding party. 


Naked Cakes & Dessert Bars

We have seen wedding cakes with a lack of frosting for a couple of years now, but it's still a popular option for many couples. These "naked" cakes either have no icing at all or just a very small amount, opting for fruit as decoration and a touch of sweetness. Others choose to offer a buffet of a variety of different desserts, making it hard to pick only one. 


Metallics & Shimmer

Metallic colors are popping up on everything from invitations to table covers to icing to fashion! Brides seem to be leaning toward more neutral shades with a shiny accent in silver, gold, or rose gold. Glitter and sequins also make for a shimmery effect. 


Classic Cocktails

It is still fun to have a signature cocktail created specifically for your wedding, giving it a special themed name. Lately we are also seeing many receptions and cocktail hours pulling out the classics: Old Fashioned, Moscow Mules, and Manhattans. 


You will find fabulous fashions at our Bridal Salon in Pompano Beach that fit perfectly into the latest trends. We also have a store full of gorgeous gowns at Angelus Bridal & Formals in every size, shape, style, and color so that there is sure to be something for every woman. Find your favorites and start a brand new trend of your own.

How to Handle Rain on Your Wedding Day

No one wants it to happen, but rain on your wedding day is always a possibility. If you are having an outdoor wedding, you really need to make plans just in case this happens to you. Your gorgeous hairstyle, perfect makeup, and that exquisite wedding dress that you bought at our South Florida bridal boutique need to be kept dry. 

Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few ideas for you on how to keep the rain at bay and still enjoy this special day. 

Remain calm.   

Number one, a little, or even a lot, of rain does not have to spoil your wedding day. You may be a bit disappointed if everything was supposed to take place outside, but don't waste too much time being upset about it. Remember that old saying, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain!


Actually, some cultures look at a rainy wedding as a sign of good luck. It symbolizes fertility and cleansing. Your entire day doesn't need to be ruined because it's wet outside. As long as you are married to the one that you love when it's all over, then your wedding was a success. 

Always have a plan.

If you thought about the possibility of rain during your wedding planning process, then you should have a few backup plans in place to keep everything running smoothly. Have an indoor spot reserved for a backup, or a tent rented to keep the weather off of all of your guests. Today you can rent tents that have elegant walls with windows, and they are more like a sheltered oasis than simply something to cover your head. Even if the rain stays away, a tent for an outdoor wedding is still a nice touch in case anyone wants to get out of the sun. 

Find adorable umbrellas that match your wedding colors or theme, and have enough for everyone in the wedding party. You may even want to have umbrellas available for all of the guests if you have a crowd that will brave a light rain. These will make great favors, and can be returned if they are not necessary. (Just don't remove the tags until you are sure you'll be using them.) 


Keep yourself dry.

Before the ceremony, take precautions to keep everyone's wedding fashions dry. Keep everything zipped up tight in garment bags until you arrive at your destination to get ready. Ladies, you will want to take extra care to keep long gowns up off of the ground. 

If you need to go outside for photos after the rain has stopped, lay down a tarp or something similar to walk on. Your photographer should be creative enough to keep it out of the pictures. 

Have fun with it!

Take this unfortunate turn of events and roll with it. Getting upset isn't going to make the rain stop, it will just ruin your day. Choose, instead, to make a few memories that wouldn't be possible without the rain. If you don't mind getting wet after the ceremony, get out in it and have your photographer take some amazing photos. Those matching umbrellas can really come in handy here. 

Remember to protect your wedding dress if you do decide to get out in the rain. Find out what will happen if the material gets wet, and keep any areas that may be ruined out of the water.


Don't let anything ruin your special day. A little bit of pre-planning and a positive attitude will assure that you can handle anything that comes your way. Angelus Bridal & Formals knows that the most important thing about any wedding is the fact that your are a "Mr. & Mrs." at the end of the day. As long as that happens, you can deal with all the rest.

7 Tips to Find the Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

Finding the perfect bridesmaid dress in South Florida is a very important task on your wedding to-do list.  After all, those dresses will be standing up front with you while you are saying I do, and they will be prominent in most of your wedding photos.  Plus, they will be worn by some of the most special people in your life.  Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few tips to help you find bridesmaid dresses for your girls that all of you will love.  



1. Determine the style.


You will want your bridesmaid's dresses to fit into the general style and feel of your wedding, whether it be romantic, eclectic, rustic, etc...  Use your own wedding dress as inspiration.  Styles that are similar to what you have chosen to wear always look nice standing alongside you at the altar.     

2. Be mindful of the season.


If you are having on outdoor wedding in the middle of July, don't put your bridesmaids in a heavy material.  Same idea, don't pick short, thin dresses for a winter wedding unless you are getting married in a tropical climate.  The time of year that you are getting married in should be a major factor in the styles that you choose from.  The time of day is important too.  Afternoon weddings are generally less formal than evening weddings.  


3. Remember comfort.


Your wedding day is going to be a long one.  Everyone will want to be in something that isn't painful or annoying an hour into the festivities.  There are numerous bridesmaid gowns available that are both stunning and easy to wear.
   

4 Don't break the bank.


Keep in mind that the cost of the bridesmaid dress is not the only expense that your girls will have.  There will also be shoes, jewelry, wedding gifts, and possibly alterations and hotel stays, just to name a few.  These women are a part of your special day because they care deeply for you, just as you do for them.  Be mindful of the price for them so that no one has to be put in an uncomfortable situation because of finances.    

5. Start shopping early.


The dresses will have to be ordered once you decide on them, and it is very likely that they will need an alteration here or there.  The earlier you begin shopping, the less chance you'll have of the dresses not being ready in time for the wedding.  



6. Trust your girls' opinions.


These are some of the most important people in your life, otherwise, you wouldn't have asked them to be in your wedding.  Most likely, they are all different sizes and shapes, and bridesmaid dresses are not "one size fits all."  Work together to find gowns that are flattering on everyone.  If you are having a difficult time doing that, consider different dresses for each girl in a matching color or complimentary shades.  Choose a few options that you love before your girls go shopping with you and narrow down their choices with your picks.   

7. Ask yourself one important question... 


Would you want to wear that dress?  If it's not something that you would want to put on, then don't make your bridesmaids do it.  Put yourself in their shoes, literally.  If they have problems with a dress that you like, try it on yourself.  You may see their point of view a little better.  



Bottom line, be a good friend.  Work together as a team with your bridesmaids to find a look that you all can love.  Begin your search at the best bridesmaid dress store in South Florida where we will take special care with each and every one of you.  

As a bonus, if you buy your wedding dress at Angelus Bridal & Formals on your first visit to our store, each of your bridesmaids will get $30 off of her dress when she is ready to buy it. With the amazing bridal fashions that we have for you, everyone will look their very best in all of those wedding photos that you will be enjoying for years to come.

20 Tips For a Smoother Wedding Experience

Over the years, our South Florida wedding dress store has met many brides and grooms. They have had some wonderful tips and tricks for getting through the wedding planning experience easily.  A few learned these things through mistakes that were made.  Angelus Bridal & Formals would like to share a few of these wedding hacks with you so that you don't run into the same problems.  



PLANNING STAGE


  • Keep pen & paper, or your digital version of those, handy at all times.  You never know when inspiration may strike.  
  • Open a wedding email account.  Give this address out for all wedding-related correspondence.  That way, it's all in one place and won't get mixed up with your everyday emails.  You can also close the account after the wedding and skip marketing emails you no longer need.
  • Use a wet sponge or glue stick to seal invitation envelopes.  You will avoid paper cuts and that disgusting glue taste. 
  • Write your thank you notes as soon as gifts arrive so that you don't have as many to write after the wedding.  Also, place a sticker with the giver's name on each gift until you write the thank you in case the card gets misplaced.  
  • At least once a week, do something with your spouse that allows no wedding talk at all.  This will keep you both connected and fresh for future planning. 

FASHION TIPS

  • First and foremost, make an appointment to try on wedding gowns.  This will guarantee that you aren't waiting around for a dressing room behind a line of other women.  You get the undivided attention of a consultant when you have an appointment.   
  • It's fun to stand in front of the big mirror and admire those wedding gowns that you are trying on, but don't forget to move around in them too.  Walk, sit, dance, and whatever else you will be doing on the big day.  Looking good is important, but being comfortable is too.  
  • Wear your wedding day shoes around the house before the wedding.  You will want them to be broken in before you wear them all day at the big event.  Have a comfortable backup pair ready too, just in case.
  • Stash a piece of white chalk in your emergency kit.  It can hide stains on a white dress.
  • Get your engagement ring professionally cleaned before the ceremony.  It will sparkle and shine in all of your wedding photos.


BEFORE THE CEREMONY

  • EAT!  Too many brides and grooms get busy getting ready and forget to eat, which leads to a tired, hungry couple halfway through the day.  Keep it light, but get something in your stomach for the energy you need.  It's wise to keep a few snacks handy too, for a quick pick-me-up until dinner is served.
  • Drinking straws are the perfect way for a bride and her bridesmaids to stay hydrated without smudging that gorgeous lipstick.
  • Ladies, wear a robe or button-up shirt while getting your hair and makeup done.  You won't have to worry about pulling a shirt over your head and messing up your look.
  • Appoint someone, like the maid of honor and best man, to be in charge of the bride & groom's phones for the day.  You will be busy enjoying the experience.  They can field any calls you may receive and be in charge of the selfies.  
  • Do not pick up your own bouquet directly out of the vase.  It will be wet and drip all over your dress.  Have someone else pick it up, dry it off, and hand it to you.

    FOR THE RECEPTION


    • Give the DJ a list of songs to definitely play and another list of songs that should never be heard at any point during the night. 
    • If a speech goes too long or gets embarrassing, cue the DJ to cut the microphone.  
    • Ask the caterer to set aside a plate for the two of you.  Occasionally, couples get busy enjoying the reception and greeting guests, and they miss out on the best food.  Setting some aside assures that you get to eat what you paid for. 
    • Prepare a quiet, out-of-the-way spot for the two of you to sneak away to during the reception.  A few minutes alone during all of the excitement is a wonderful and special treat.
    • Put someone that you trust in charge of taking the wedding gifts and cards to a safe place after everyone arrives at the reception. You never know who may wander through the area besides your guests.  

    Hopefully you can use some or all of these tips to make your own wedding run as seamlessly as possible.  All of us here at the best bridal salon in Pompano Beach are partial to the fashion tips, but we can attest to the fact that all of the ideas above will be very helpful to every bride and groom.  The bridal consultants at Angelus Bridal & Formals love using our experience and knowledge to help make every couple's journey as easy as possible.

    A Wedding Day Emergency Kit - Simple & Can Save the Day

    Everyone wants their wedding day to go perfectly.  At the end of the day, as long as you are married to the person you love, then it did.  As far as everything else, well, unexpected things are bound to happen.  If you take a little bit of time ahead of your wedding day to prepare, those unwelcome surprises can be fixed and out of your way easily.  



    Angelus Bridal & Formals has heard a lot of stories about wedding day problems popping up. A great way to head these off before they become gigantic trouble is to put together a wedding day emergency kit.  Many of the items that you will want to include in this kit are things that you already have around the house.  Gathering them together can end up saving the day.
      
    • White cotton towels or cloths:  great for dabbing spills on a white dress
    • Baby Powder:  can help remove some dress stains & keep them from spreading
    • White chalk:  can work like baby powder or occasionally cover a small stain
    • Stain Removal Pen or Wipes
    • Cotton balls & cotton swabs:  also great for dabbing stains on a white dress
    • Tape:  Double-sided, masking, or duct tape - these are a quick fix to a broken hem if there is no time left to sew it. 
    • Super glue: same reason as the tape and can hold a loose button on. 
    • Small sewing kit:  make sure you have thread in your dress color, the bridesmaids' dress colors, and the guys' suits.  
    • Safety Pins: for fashion emergencies and also good to have in case boutonniere pins are missing
    • Lighter:  both for candles and it can fix a fraying hem.
    • Lint brush
    • Extra earring backs
    • Nail clippers & file
    • Facial blotting paper
    • Mirror:  for makeup checks in case the room you are in right before walking down the aisle doesn't have a mirror
    • Kleenex
    • Moist towelettes
    • Hand sanitizer
    • Bobby pins:  for every hair color in your wedding party

    You may not end up using anything in your wedding day emergency kit.  On the other hand, one single item in it may be the key to a happy day.  Better safe than sorry!  It only takes a little bit of time to get these things together and make sure that any "suprises" on your special day don't ruin it.  


    Take it from your favorite bridal salon in Pompano Beach, you will not regret the small amount of time it takes to put this together.  Your bridesmaids will probably be happy to help you do it.  We hope this information is helpful to you and your wedding party.  Angelus Bridal & Formals wants to help you make your wedding day as perfect as possible.
