Five Unique <a href="http://www.yamlodress.nl/prom-jurken/goud-lace-up-floor-length-mouwloos-avondjurken-pd2012-36.html">mouwloos avondjurken</a> Ideas for Fancy Dress Costumes




Halloween parties give you the liberty to wear the Trouwjurk Lange Mouw most outrageous costumes, the crazier the better. The most common Halloween fancy dress costumes and the most popular are vampire costumes for men and witch costumes for women. These are an all time favorite at most Halloween parties. But you can add a little twist to these traditional fancy dress costumes by using interesting accessories. Women can try colored wigs with horns or bats in them, glow in the dark wigs and even gothic wigs to add some spunk to your witch costume. Other interesting accessories include spider web tights, bat tights, purses shaped like cats and of course there is the witch's broom.





Men can get very nice ghoul or goblin costumes. A gothic Count costume would be something quite different. And a Dementor costume from Harry Potter movie would be very 'in vogue' so to speak.





Dressing like the Adam's Family is a great way for you and your family to grab attention at the party and it would be even funnier if Dad dressed like Morticia and Mom dressed Like Gomez Addams!





Costumes for stag night fancy dress parties can always be a little over the top. A really hilarious costume is the fat stripper body suit. You can jazz it up a bit with a fur coat, a mouwloos avondjurken fancy wig, lots of makeup and even a feather boa. Another great costume idea for stag night would be to wear a pair of boxers and get an inflatable doll. The ultimate hen nigh costume is the proverbial bunny costume. Bunny ears, boppers and fur handcuffs make great accessories for this costume. Remember these costumes are meant only men and women above 18 years of age.

First <a href="http://www.yamlodress.nl/trouwjurken/trouwjurken-2012.html">Trouwjurk 2012</a> round of wedding dress <a href="http://www.yamlodress.nl/cocktailjurken/cocktailjurken-2013.html">Cocktailjurken 2013</a> ideas




I got to start focusing on some wedding decisions - we at least have a venue we happy with but now there is so much more to do especially if I am going to make decorations or have family help me out. We like to take care of many split voor Prom Dresses of the expenses early on - and I love to have things like my dress and whatever JC decides to wear decided, purchased and safely set aside. As much as a procrastinator as I been all my life I really don like to leave things to the last minute.





So I been doing a little looking around, getting ideas and keeping them in a little wedding folder on my laptop desktop. This morning I thought I might share a couple of these ideas with you.





This dress is from the new Anthropologie wedding line, B H L D N, and in typical Anthro style offers a vintage feel with a modern edge and absolutely rocks (in my opinion). Of course this dress is not inexpensive and in fact is more than I plan to spend. I really like the sheer sleeves, the color, the boatneck, the applique and of course, the shoes pretty much have me swooning. But this bride-to-be will not be dropping $2K on a wedding dress, I rather spend it in Vienna.





LOVE this dress. Love the color. I think JC and I could have a real poppin color combo if he wore a rust red shirt and we kept our color theme to a variety of pale grays, pale blues and the rust red. He isn sold on this color yet and I may have to get the dress so that we can see it live. This is one I just keep coming back to.





Another J. Crew dress I am liking quite a bit for the simplicity and the little sleeves - having a winter wedding makes me think I might like to have a little more to the dress. I could see shortening this and wearing it again. The t-shirt style and the heavy silk that J. Crew uses in their dresses makes this elegant, simple, timeless.





This one isn on sale but is under $1K. still well over what I want to spend. So much so I going to have to file it away as just an idea.





I pulled this image from the internet mostly for the colors and the idea of a skirt and sweater. I could do an ensemble along these lines - toning down the volume of the skirt. This one has potential for pulling together from various sources, maybe even finding something vintage. I am very drawn to the pale, pale blue.





I don remember where I pulled this from either but of course I go for the cowgirl boot and dress / skirt combo. I could splurge for a fancy pair of Lucchese or Old Gringo boots in pale blue and cream. If one could find such a thing.





This is the way I work. gathering images and ideas and letting them merge into the real deal. I like the process and am doing the same with decorating. I set a deadline for making decisions so that we might actually get everything together in time, and then enlist the help of my craftiest friends and family members. The planning is fun so far, but we already two months into our year of planning and I really haven gotten much done. Time to kick it into gear.

AUTUMN WEDDING DECORATING IDEAS




You can create professional-looking cookies decorated with fondant with this cookie cutter and impression mat set. The set includes a 3-tier wedding cake cookie cutter and three plastic impression mats to create appropriate patterns in fondant or buttercream. Two of the mats are designed to be used with the cookie cutter and the third mat has an all-over design which can be used either with the cookie cutter, or for creating an impression in fondant or buttercream to cover any small surface (such as other cookie shapes or cupcakes). Either side of the mats can be used: one side will produce a raised impression, while the other will give a recessed impression (which can be filled with a contrasting colour).





Set of 4: cookie cutter and 3 impression mats





Roll cookie dough and cut out shapes using the cookie cutter. Bake and allow to cool completely. To decorate with fondant, lightly spray the impression mat with cooking spray; wipe off excess with a paper towel. Roll fondant to approximately 1/8" thickness. Place the impression mat on the counter, and turn the fondant over on top of the mat. Roll over fondant once. Turn the fondant over and remove the mat. Cut out the impressed fondant piece with the cookie cutter and attach to cookie with piping gel or a thin layer of buttercream. To decorate the cookie with buttercream, ice the cookie with buttercream icing and allow the buttercream to crust. Place the impression mat over the crusted buttercream; roll over the mat once with a pastry roller or small rolling pin. Lift the mat.





Pumpkins, ghosts and Sexy Trouwjurken goblins are all things one would expect to see a lot of during the month of October, but there are a multitude of other fine fall elements that often get overlooked in the quest to decorate for Halloween. For the next few Wednesdays, The Finer Things will be focusing on autumn entertaining ideas that are still seasonal, yet unique enough to set your party apart from the rest.





Grapes, for instance, tend to be thrown into the summer party spotlight. However, with the typical grape harvest time period in the northern hemisphere being between the months of August and October (with the grapes for some late harvest wines, like Reisling, harvested in mid to late autumn), this dazzling fruit is fabulously fit for a fall fete.





To give your grape-themed party some fall flair, serve guests this mulled grape cider -- Taste of Home





Grape tarts make for a sweet, yet savory, treat -- Martha Stewart





Wear this gorgeous grape colored cocktail dress -- Ann Taylor





For easy and effective centerpieces, place clusters of purple grapes in everything from silver bowls to glass hurricanes -- Project Wedding, County Living and Firefly Hill Designs





Pour guests a glass of this medium bodied merlot to sip with the main course -- Wine Chief





Use a simple, handwritten note to invite guests to a small dinner party (I love the grape colored ribbon on this card) -- FineStationery





Cleanse your palate at the end of the meal with this gorgeous grape sorbet -- Martha Stewart





Love for all seasons - the wedding cake.





Spring: Chocolate cake with mint oreo filling, covered in buttercream. Decorated with ladybugs and leaves.





Summer: Lemon cake with lemon curd and buttercream filling, covered in buttercream. Decorated with lily pads, dragon flies and chocolate covered rocks.





Autumn: Spice cake with cream cheese frosting and filling. Decorated with meringue mushrooms and autumn-colored leaves.





Winter: White cake with rasberry filling, covered in homemade marzipan, and Trouwjurken buttercream frosting (bad idea for an outdoor summer wedding - live and learn!)





See my favorites for more, and better (I think) photos of the cakes.
