Tips on how to have a warm winter outdoor wedding

The coldest time of this year is coming. It’s really cold outside now. For those who plan to have a outdoor winter wedding, keeping you and your wedding guest warm and cozy at your wedding is really important. The following are some tips and tricks on having a romantic yet warm winter outdoor wedding.

First, you may add sidewalls to your tent. Sidewalls are a critical tent accessory for keeping out rain and wind, and keeping warm air inside. Most professional tent rental companies will offer a variety of sidewalls to attach to your tent. If you have a stunning view, consider clear sidewalls so guests can still enjoy the outdoor scenery. Many rental companies also offer heaters, which use electricity to run the fan and propane to fuel the heat. Be sure and select a heater that has a thermostat.

If you've always dreamed of having an outdoor wedding but your big day is during a really cold time of year, plan to have only a small portion of the wedding outside. Consider hosting only the ceremony outdoors. Then move the party inside for the reception. This guarantees that your guests only need to face the elements for a short period of time. If guests seem really cold, start the dancing as soon as possible. They'll be moving and heating up soon.

Formal attire often calls for ladies to wear short or sleeveless dresses. Even the best wrap won’t provide as much heat and comfort as a casual dress code! You’d better implement a “stylish casual” dress code for your wedding reception. Thus, your wedding guests would add layers to keep them look both warm and stylish.

Nothing makes people feel cozier than a piping hot drink, so serve warm reception treat! When it's cold outside, you need a little something to sip on that will instantly warm you right up. The touch of pear in this traditional whiskey drink will definitely do the trick. Everyone has a soft spot in their hearts for chocolate, so why not add a little to your signature cocktail? If Manhattans are your favorite, heat up with this spicy version. It will definitely make your guests forget all about that chill that's hanging in the air.

Now that your guests are taken care of, how are you going to keep cozy? There are so many fun fashion accessories that not only keep you warm, but add a ton of flare to your look. You may add muffs, shawls or mittens over your wedding dress. About your wedding gown, choose dresses that are made of thick and warm fabrics like taffeta or satin.

Add green to your closet this winter

People usually associate green with vitality and hope, which are what we lack in cold months. Perhaps this is the reason why green color is so popular every fall/winter. Green comes in various shades. Everyone can wear green as long as you have chosen a right green shade. Wish to catch the eyes of all people at various parties during the party season this year? Read on for some styling tips.

Whether you prefer hunter, emerald, or mint, you’ll be tempted to turn your closet into a green scene this winter. The easiest way to rock the green trend is to add a green dress to your closet. Whether it is a floor length emerald green evening gown or refreshing short length mint cocktail dress, it will make you the most charming lady at the party. 

Sometimes the most effective wardrobe staples are the least obvious. Whether you want to emphasize a statement piece or keep an overall look simple and subtle, neutrals are closet champions. And olive is definitely a must-have color for winter closet. This yellowish-green hue is seen everywhere. One of the newest ways to use olive is to treat it as the ultimate neutral: mix freely with bright or tonal prints. Another way to treat olive as a neutral is to pair it with vivid bright colors like hot pink. Olive green also looks great with purple and orange.

Like reaching into your fridge and pulling out a frosty brew, bottle green is a refreshing way to break up any outfit. Literally inspired by the look of light shining through a bottle of beer, bottle green is quite suitable for the workplace. For office ladies, think about add a bottle green knit dress to your closet. 

Usually, mint green is color that people often wear in hot seasons like spring and summer. Many women thought that pastel colors should not be suitable for winter. This is not true! Just like a strong julep, mint green can add some levity to your day. This pastel hue color can take on different looks, depending on how it is styled.

Shoe to wear with green dress

Leopard print works really well with any color. Pair your green dress with a leopard print gown, you won't go wrong. Although most greens look ravishing with classic leopard or cheetah printed shoes, the bolder the color is, the better it will be. And silver colored shoes are also perfect choices. Silver looks exceptional with every green shade. A warmer alternative to silver, gold is one of the most sophisticated shoe colors you can wear with green! And as the trendy metallic of the moment, you really can’t go wrong with gold!  White shoes also work well with green clothes. Another great shoe color to wear with green to create “earthy” feel, is brown. What's more, nude and black colored shoes are also flattering for any green dress.

Color guide: How to wear blue in a tasteful way this winter

The color blue is a classic color that suits almost every hue. Every time when you find that you can’t decide which color to wear for a special occasion, you may play it safe with blue. There are many ways to add blue to your looks. The following are some of my tips on how to wear blue in a tasteful way.

Blue is a magic color, it goes well with many colors like bright green, red, pink, yellow and violet. Try to choose those hues and shades that suit your skin, eyes color and hair. Speaking of prints, then any beautiful blue dress looks neutral. One of the things that I love about blue is how crisp and confident it is. You can wear it alone or with numerous other colors and it always stands tall and remains an elegant backdrop or centerpiece alike.

The calm and classic shades of blue look ideal for neutral daywear and office looks. Evening options may be either bright, opened or even eye-catching. If you are not confident in your abilities of a stylist, then you better go for minimum accessories. Sometimes clutch and shoes are fair enough in addition to a beautiful blue dress. But if you still want to add some jewelry, then go for tiny classic ones.

Sometimes when it comes to wearing a solid color dress we face the question of how what we should wear with it. Shoes are one of the first accessories we need to go with our blue dress. Depending on the shade of blue, one color of shoe will be better than another, but in general you can wear nude or skin color, black, gold or silver shoes with blue clothes. In the latter cases, make sure they are not too bright and flashy. Once you've chosen your shoes, look for a bag that goes with everything too. If it's for a ceremony or formal event opt for a small handbag. And if it is something more casual, you can choose a big and bold bag.

Fall and winter are the seasons for layering so don’t let the low temperatures intimidate you and allow it to work to your advantage! Wool dresses will keep you cozy while still rocking some bright tights. Let the inspiration flow and mix and match until you find the right combination for you and your style, it’s all about practice and trying things out to find new styles and outfits that accommodate your look and day to day activities.

Dressing tips for fat-thigh ladies

Many women have thick thighs problems. The fat thighs prevent them from wearing clothing like short pants and thigh-high dresses. Don’t feel frustrated if you have fat thighs. We all have certain body flaws that we try and cover up using clothes and different kind of styles. Here are some style tips for women who got fat thighs.

If you're going to wear a dress, avoid anything that is tight. It will cling to your thighs and make them look bigger than they are. The ideal dresses will be those that hang full from the waist down, as they will be loose and hide the thighs. An empire dress will help to take the attention off your thighs. Avoid mini gowns if you're trying to hide the thighs. Find dresses with a tighter waist, a wide flare at the hips, and a hemline that finishes well below the knees, or down to the ankles.

For thick-thigh ladies, try wide-leg trousers. Wide-leg trousers will flatter your body, conveniently hiding the thighs. The important part is the fit of the trouser. Get one with the right length or alter it if you like because that will add points to your look, slimming the thighs and making them look longer instead of wider.

With their stretchy fabric and the plethora of colors and patterns available, leggings have become a comfortable and stylish mainstay in fashion. If you have thigh fat problem, stick with dark, solid colors. Darker solids such as black, navy, darker blues and rich purples create a slimming effect. Leggings can be deceptive, as some poorly made ones can actually be see-through. Test out leggings by checking the knee area and trying them on in good lighting. About the legging length, opt for long leggings that go to the ankle.

Accessories can be helpful when you're trying to distract from large legs. Wearing heels will make your legs seem longer which will help to make your thighs look slimmer. Nude colored shoes are very effective at adding length to your legs. Do not be afraid to wear a single bold piece of jewelry, such as a trendy necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings. Also, you may try shaping underwear to help to give you a nice outline and keep your thighs squeezed in a bit!

Dressing guide: How to rock bodycon dresses

Bodycon dresses would be your perfect choice if you decide to make a head-turning entrance at the party. A bodycon dress fitted well with you would show off your feminine body curves. This dress style is flattering for many body types. Don’t think that you can’t wear this sexy dress style. The bodycon dress doesn’t have to show off your body completely. Depending on the style and cut of the garment, it can be used to accentuate your best feature.

Who can wear bodycon dress

It takes a confident woman to successfully carry the look off since bodycon dresses cling to every curve and bump of the body. If you have an hourglass shape body, you are so lucky. Your luscious curves would work well with such dresses. Usually, women who have pear shape, apple shape or inverted triangle shape should avoid such style. But, the most important rule to wearing anything is to be comfortable and happy in it. If you feel pretty in it and you feel good, that will radiate through and make your outfit look even more appealing.

Tips on wearing bodycon gown

Who says you have to be a size zero to rock a body con with ease? A simple trick to look slimmer in this daring dress is finding one that features black or navy panel sides. This will create the illusion of a smaller waist. If you want to smooth out your curves, shapewear can be a big help. Just make sure you are comfortable. Also, a seamless bra and panty is a must! Panty lines especially can take away from you having a polished look. Always look at the fabric content. Some fabrics like a ponte knit will allow you to size down, lighter fabrics like elastane and polyester look better when you wear your exact size.

How to accessorize bodycon dress

Traditionally, bodycon dresses are worn as evening wear, with elegant or glamorous accessories. It is becoming increasingly popular to combine shorter bodycon dresses with other garments or accessories to create a suitable everyday outfit, without the wearer looking out of place. The bodycon dress is a show stopper on its own, which means it's best to keep the accessories at a minimum. Skip the heavy-duty jewelry and focus on pieces meant to complement, not overpower, your outfit.

Though bodycon dresses are great fashion pieces to flaunt what you got, they can also create a major fashion faux pas if not carefully thought of. Shop bodycon dresses in various styles, cuts, textures and lines at BlackFive.
