Ballerina Wedding look inspired by the movie Black Swan

The performances of Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel in Black Swan may have garnered the adulation of the film critics, but it's the spectacular visual feast of tulle and tutus that will have brides clamoring for ballerina-inspired wedding looks for the most important role of their lives.

This season, some of the most memorable bridal designs channel Swan Lake, with dresses featuring corset tops, big tulle skirts, and feather accents. Designers such as Randi Rahm—who named one dress "Odette" after the white swan in Tchaikovsky's famous ballet—and Vera Wang—whose dresses showcase enormous, flowy, light-as-air skirts and tight bodices—allow a bride to live out her ballerina fantasy.


The best part about this style of dress is that it's forgiving to most figures. The corset creates a cinched waist and accentuates beautiful shoulders, while the skirt covers a bottom half that just might fall short of a dancer's physique.

HOW TO: Personalized your aisle runner

Okay, having a aisle runner  is basically a neccesity to have a beautiul wedding. Traditional brides stay on the safe end and stick to a white aisle runner while the modern brides add a little style to theirs. To save money brides are now personalizing their own aisle runner without spending that extra $40-$50.
Step One: Creating your monogram (you can create your monogram on powerpoint, paint, publisher or photoshop) print out your colored monogram and save it on your flashdrive.
Step Two : Go to your local Kinkos and have them blow up your monogram black and white at 400%(standard 36' wide runner) if you runner is smaller or wider then you can adjust the percentage according to the size of your runner.estimated $5.00
Step three: Now pull out your aisle runner  (estimated $15-$25) on flat surface and unroll it out to where you want you monogram to be (usually 5 feet) place your enlarged monogram under your aisle runner and use blue painter's tape to hold each corner of your monogram that is paralled to your aisle runner. You should be able to see your monogram through the aisle runner. note*make sure you placed cardoard under your monogram because paint will leaked through)
Step four: use a stencil to trace over your monogram and then carefully paint your monogram with your desired colors .Watch your monogram come to life! Before you remove the card board wait until it dry!

WHO, WHAT AND WHAT IS A DAMASK WEDDING

Nothing sets off a chic color scheme like an elegant dose of pattern! Make your event pop off the page with these timeless florals, paisleys, toiles and damasks.Today I decided to put together pictures of weddings with damask theme. But, be careful to not overdue the damask - not everything has to have the damask pattern on it. For example, I wouldn't pair the damask dinnerware set on top of the damask table runner.
Here are couple of example of "THE CHIC DAMASK"

Is anybody having black and white wedding? A damask wedding? Has any photographer or wedding planner worked with a bride and groom on a wedding with this particular theme or colors? Please email me at mail@upgradeeventsbyingrid.com to have your wedding featured here.
