Dress a Perfect Cocktail Dress on A Cocktail Party on dressv.com

Most of girls dream putting them into a perfect cocktail party all their life, just once. But first is to figure out what is a cocktail party. A cocktail party is a largely informal social gathering generally featuring mixed drinks, light refreshments, and an intimate guest list. Guests are encouraged to mingle while enjoying a variety of drinks served by the host or a professional bartender. An informal party may be an alternative to a formal reception or full dinner party, especially if the guests have already made other dinner plans or are planning to meet later in the evening.

If you are a host of cocktail party, what are the tips for planning it? When planning for a cocktail party, many experts on entertaining suggest hosts should assume at least three beverages per guest, unlike a dinner or reception where heavier foods are expected to be served and fewer mixed drinks are served. The party may include a variety of finger foods, light snacks or even heavy hors d'ouvres, but the primary focus is generally on cocktails, good conversation, and music, not on the food. An invitation should mention any special food arrangements, especially if the party is scheduled during regular dinner hours.

Girls are born with loving those gorgeous bling bling things, like diamonds, pearls or dresses. When seeing those amazing things, they are dying to put them on in some occasion, like a cocktail party. The attraction of those high heels and make-ups can never be greater. Now on dressv.com we have various colors, fabrics and styles of cocktail dresses. And do you know what the trendy is in 2014? Just go to dressv.com and you will know.

reblogged: 5 Wedding Color Palettes to Look out for in 2014

original: http://www.intimateweddings.com/blog/5-wedding-color-palettes-look-2014/

The 2013 wedding season has officially wrapped up, which means it’s time to start looking at all the upcoming trends we predict brides and grooms are going to love this year – one of our favorites being color trends!

While choosing a color scheme for your wedding is an incredibly personal choice, it never hurts to check out what the hot hues for the season are going to be, and, trust us, we’re predicting some real beauties in the line-up this year. So without further ado, here are five color palettes we expect (and hope!) to see lots more of in 2014:

1.  Sapphire Blue, Deep Coral, Peach, and Silver

This is a fun and vibrant palette we hope to see lots of this spring. It would suit a modern nautical-themed wedding perfectly and you could easily swap out the silver for a touch of gold if you prefer.

2.  Hemlock, Turquoise, Deep Teal, Pale Grey

With emerald being last year’s Pantone color of the year, green has seen a real resurgence in popularity as of late. Hemlock is one of Pantone’s spring 2014 colors and we love the combination of the pale minty hue with the deeper, bolder shades of turquoise and teal in this palette.

3.  Dark Magenta, Dark Plum, Berry Red, Slate, Brass

Fall/winter 2013 was all about the jewel tones and we predict fall/winter 2014 we’ll see more of the same. But while rich plummy purples and deep emerald greens were the belles of the ball last year, we think 2014 will see a lot more pinks and reds taking center stage.

4.  Peach, Coral Red, Cream, Placid Blue, Gold

This is one of those color combinations that looks all wrong on paper, but works like magic when it’s put together well. It’s light and fresh with just the right pop of color to make it interesting and fun.

There is nothing more special than getting to know a couple as they plan the most important day of their lives. I love chatting to my couples on their complimentary engagement shoot and hearing how their special day is carefully being pieced together. And I love love love being able to document the wedding day! Seeing the looks on family and friends' faces, capturing those moments forever and creating beautiful memories makes me so happy. It’s always special when a bride and groom stay in touch with me after the wedding as well, I’ve made some lovely friends.'

When it comes to my work I am inspired most by the couples I am photographing. It is their hard work and effort that makes the day look and feel the way it does; it is my job to document that. I'm also inspired by the surrounding environment and the colours around me on that particular day. After all, photos are about creating memories of that snippet in time.'

At prom, a Prom Queen and Prom King may be revealed. These are honorary titles awarded to students chosen in a school-wide vote prior to the prom, and are usually given to seniors. Juniors may also be honored, but would be called "Prom Prince" or "Prom Princess." Other students may be honored with inclusion in a "Prom Court." The selection method for Prom Court is similar to that of Homecoming Queen/Princess, King, and Court. Inclusion in a Prom Court may be a reflection of popularity of those chosen and their level of participation in school activities, such as clubs or sports. The Prom Queen and Prom King may be given crowns to wear. Members of the Prom Court may be given sashes to wear and photographed together.

Girls wear traditional ladies' dresses or gowns and wear ladies’ jewellery such as earrings and a necklace. Traditionally girls wear perfume, and make-up such as eyeshadow, lipstick and blush. Traditionally girls also wear a corsage, given to them by their dates, and girls give boys matching boutonnières to be worn on their lapels.
