Beach Wedding Dresses

Beach Wedding Dresses

Destination weddings have become one of the hottest trends now and a destination wedding means to have a wedding reception, casual or formal in a place more than 100 miles away from where the couple lives. Nowadays many brides-to-be are getting bored with traditional church weddings and now opt for something unique and more memorable.

Many young couples are now quite keen to book their nuptials at a resort or beach and plan to have a more intimate wedding with their close buddies and family members between the two. What about a beach wedding with a romantic boat ceremony? That sounds wonderful!

But there are also a few fine points to consider while planning for a beach wedding. Will the family members be ready and can afford to take time off to join you on your journey to matrimony in a place far from where they are living? Also the clothes to bring along if you plan to have a wedding by the beach. Loosely fitted clothes will be the option and also you must take into account the climate of the venue. For the brides-to-be, they must also bear in mind the blowing breeze from the sea and what sort of hair-do will compliment their wedding dress style. If you have long hair, you may want to consider a braid and some complimentray accessories to hold your hair elegantly away from your face especially while pictures are being taken or perhaps tie your hair into a neat bun or even consider a Bohemian hair style.

High heels are not recommended when you walk on the beach, instead you can put on your sexy beady sandals and also do a bridal pedicure a day or two before the Big day. Your guests tend to take notice of your feet if you wear open-toed shoes so put your best foot forward!

Now, what about the Beach Wedding Dresses? Cool, light fabrics such as organza and chiffon will allow air to blow through your body and keep you cool and comfortable in your dress for many hours in the sun. If you have slender legs, now is the opportunity to show them off, so go for short wedding dresses. A point to remember is to stay away from synthetic fabrics and look for strapless dresses, halter style, one shoulder, capped sleeves, low neck line, yet simple and elegant.

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature. Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome. It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours. The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process. The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over. The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry. Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts. It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.

Brides usually wear it while sporting turmeric or henna as gold jewelry might get spoiled when it comes in contact with them and they do save it - atleast the beads and bases as a memento
