Duane Said:

How can I make my gown look Victorian?

We Answered:

It would be very tough to do, and require a lot of work. You'd have to make the dress have more layers and remove the top and replace it completely or add a black corset with a frill or trim on the bust line. You'd also have to have some sort of black overlay on the red, with a pattern of mesh or even holes to reveal the red underneath. I'd suggest buying a whole new dress.

Ronald Said:

Can I have separate themes for my wedding ceremony and reception?

We Answered:

I would have all of the tablecloths for the reception be brown. It is a neutral and would go with all the different set-ups at each table and would act as a unifying element.

You might also consider continuing the tree branch decor element from the wedding for the centerpieces on each table. You could hang themed ornaments, unique to each table, setting on the small branch in the center of that table. Like for Japan, you could have the tiny paper drink umbrellas on the branches or for England, you could have tiny silk roses (natl. flower of England).

Everything else on each table could be different and yet they would visually be tied together by the brown tablecloths and the center branches. It sounds like a charming and unique idea for a reception!! : )

Sally Said:

My future daughter in law is planning their wedding and reception and is considering an old fasioned tea party?

We Answered:

I think it would be lovely, but I know you know you can't require people to wear costumes. It would be cool, though, to have at least the bridal party and close fmaily in period attire. I'd contact a local costume shop to see whether this was something you could rent- I know ours has all sorts of stuff like this.

I also don't think there's anything wrong with asking guests if they'd like to play along with the theme. I love ot wear a costume, so I'd probably do it, buit I can see others wouldn't want to.

I guess they wouldn't have had a dj for music back then, so maybe a harpist for the ceremony and dinner music? And, how about an old fashioned drink (what that would be, I don't know).
