Beach Wedding Dresses

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Beach weddings are definitely among the popular choices of couples that want to exchange marital vows in the most romantic way possible.

The breathtaking view of the sea and sand provides a spectacular backdrop that would definitely ensure the success of the most important event in your life.

However, part of the fun of planning a beach wedding would be in finding the perfect dress that would best compliment the stunning setting and play it to your advantage.

Choosing beach wedding dresses would largely depend on whether it is a formal or casual affair.

There are practically a great number of possible designs that you can choose from when looking for beach wedding dresses.

Images of soft chiffon fluttering with the wind definitely add a very dramatic effect.

Whether you want it sleek and long, short and trendy, or the classic elegant look, there are practically a gamut of cuts and designs to choose from.

While one might easily take flights of fancy and get carried away with the myriad styles, you need to keep in mind that you also need to take into account several factors.

As much as possible, it would be more practical to stick to designs with little embellishments as possible as this will be suitable in a beach setting. It you are contemplating of wearing one of those long and flowing beach wedding dresses, consider having as less fabric as possible since you will probably encounter difficulty if its slightly windy.

You dont want to have your skirt all tangled as you make that much-awaited walk down the aisle.

If you will be wearing a veil, make sure that it will be securely pinned to on the hair. If its a sunny day, it would be nice to wear your hair down but for a windy day, an up-do would be a more practical choice.

You wouldnt dream of looking like you have been in a catfight on your wedding day, right? So anticipate all the possibilities and come up with plan B and C to effectively cover all the bases, so to speak.

Simplicity is the rule of thumb when choosing accessories for beach wedding dresses.

A garland of flowers would be a more wonderful accent and would contribute to a tropical wedding look that you want to play out.

For footwear, it would be highly impractical to wear satin high-heeled sandals that will probably give you a nightmare walking around the sand.

Flip-flops or some elegant strappy sandals would be a more sensible choice.

There are also some brides who would opt to forego wearing any type of footwear and walk barefoot. This option will blend with any beach wedding dresses.

Knowing all your options will guide you to have the best accessories to enhance your beach wedding dress.

Career women want love

Monday, May 4th, 2009

MANY independent Chinese women like to earn their own bread, even if their husbands are already bringing home the bacon. But a recent survey suggests that such women find more joy from relationships, rather than successful careers.

The 2007 Career Women’s Survival Report was conducted by the consulting agency Universum and released by Sun Culture Multimedia last month.

About 73 percent of the 7,000 women surveyed in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou said they would choose to work even if their husbands earned enough for the family. The survey also found that 77 percent define happiness as “enjoying a relationship”.

But striking a balance between career and family can bring challenges to the woman’s career advancement.

Bottlenecks

“In my company, women usually have an equal or even a higher starting salary than men,” said Gu Hua, general manager of Beijing Chuangjiashe Book Circulation Company. “However, as they begin to climb up the career ladder, women often meet problems along the way, while men can climb the ladder more easily.”

Both physical and emotional differences can prevent some women from taking tough positions, Gu said. But family life is often the main hurdle for Chinese career women.

Despite these challenges, however, some experts believe it’s reasonable for some women to want to be breadwinners.

“In this way, the roles of a family are decided by the parents’ abilities rather than their gender,” said Gu Donghui, a sociology professor at Fudan University.

Gu says women should have the freedom to decide if they want to stay at home or work to support the family. “Everyone has a different interpretation of what it means to find self-worth”

Gu Haibin, an economic expert from Renmin University shares that view: “Traditionally, we tend to regard the family as the cell unit of society. Some members have always been expected to make sacrifices for it. But, it really doesn’t matter who earns more. Economic independence and personal choice is essential for both sexes in the family.” (By XU WEIWEI)
