What VERA Says about Wedding Dress Bustles........

A train that is integrated into the design of your wedding dress must be bustled. A bustle is achieved by lifting up the fabric of the train and fastening it to the rest of the dress with delicate buttons, loops, hooks, eyes, or snaps – the bride can then move freely and comfortably among her guests. So you do not worry about the bustle coming undone, make sure the stitching of the fastenings is reinforced. I also recommend rehearsing the bustling process several times before your wedding day to avoid any last-minute challenges. Before you choose a wedding dress with an integrated train, take note that the bustle might add unwanted volume to your backside. -- XO, Vera

What California Sol Creations Says about Wedding Dress Bustles:

Depending on your style, length and your wedding dress fabric there are various types of bustles. Having your wedding dress bustled by an experienced seamstress can cost you anywhere from $200 and up. The right kind of bustle for your dress can add a WOW factor to the overall look of your dress, not to mention keep you from having a wedding dress malfunction when your on the dance floor.

 WHAT VERA SAYS ABOUT "GROOMS CAKES"...
If you want to add a touch of humor to your wedding, buck the traditional and turn your groom’s cake into a fun-loving roast to your loved one. Historically, the groom’s cake is a dark, rich cake heavily laden with dried fruit, nuts and honey; today, it is the perfect opportunity to call out your groom’s hobbies, obsessions (besides you!) and idiosyncrasies. For my husband’s cake, I choose a humorous concoction that made joking reference to his love of golf, tennis and his vegetable garden. Fun aside, make sure the cake tastes as good as it looks.


A groom' cake is a great way to get your honey excited about planning your wedding day! Here are a few grooms cake we at California Sol Creations hit the "LOVE IT" button on.
