Weddings around the world: the painted face of a Bulgarian brideFiled under: Wedding Lore/TraditionsAt the "end of the world" in a corner of predominantly Christian Bulgaria, Fikrie Sabrieva upholds winter wedding ceremonial customs, despite decades of persecution, poverty, and a world in which most women want to be modern. In a private, female-only family ceremony, her face is painted with white chalky paint and elaborately decorated with sequins. She is presented to her husband-to-be wearing a long red veil over her face, baggy pants, and a colorful bodice. Fikrie is not allowed to fully open her eyes until the priest blesses the couple. After facing Com...

BRIDE MAIL: THE TALL BRIDEPhoto by Henley PhotographyBrideMail@Bridechic.comI’ve spent most of my life in blue jeans so I have no idea what to look for in a wedding dress. I like the idea of wearing a long, white dress on my wedding day but I’m finding it confusing to know what I’m going to look good in. I’m 5’9” and slender. Can you help?How lucky can you get? You’re going to hear it again and again—tall women look best in any style (well, just about) whether it be ball gown, A-line or sheath. Some words of caution though: There have been some tall, svelte, otherwise lovely brides of late who went way...

Someone named Cynthia created www.payforcynthiaswedding.com in an effort to raise $25,000. And CyberBeg and DonateMoney2Me remain as active as ever.” Some of these sites offer advertising space in exchange for contributions to a wedding fund, while others...

BRIDE MAIL: THE PETITE BRIDEBrideMail@Bridechic.comI'm 5' and very small boned. Most gowns I've tried on are for women that are 5'6. This means whenever I get in front of the mirror I'm swimming in the dress. Almost any sleeve, belt, print or lace looks magnified on me. What are my options? One of the most important things for the vertically challenged to remember is scale. If you're petite and in shape, you can wear just about any gown as long as you scale down to the right proportion. Also thinking vertically (up, up, up) it will be easier to figure out which treatments suit you best. For instance, choose a bodice and...
