Italian ceramics importer Giardini di Sole announces “La Vita è un Viaggio” (Life is a Journey), a unique bridal contest celebrating everyone’s favorite four-letter word.
“What makes this contest so special is that we’re commemorating more than romantic love; we’re looking for brides who have taken their hearts on a variety of journeys and discovered unexpected places within themselves, their relationships, in nature or in a new city or country.
To help brides hone in on the story they’d like to share, we’re asking them to consider the following three questions:
· What aspects of your personal journey have shaped you into the woman you are today?
· What aspects of your romantic journey with your fiancé made you know he was The One?
· What travel journey impacted you most/helped bring something new out in you?
We’re also inspiring our contestants to stretch their creativity by encouraging submissions in the form of written or photo essays, videos, songs, poetry or other visual mediums. Brides will be able to view each other’s entries and make comments in an online forum via our dedicated Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/giardini-bridal-contest. All submissions should be sent to giardini-bridal-contest@googlegroups.com with the subject line as follows: NAME and TYPE OF JOURNEY
The contest begins on Tuesday, March 1 and runs through midnight April 18. Three winners will be announced at the Boston showroom on May 6. Prizes are as follows:
First/Grand Prize: 8-person place setting of Cassandra Lemon design with serving pieces, and an Arcobaleno or Artistico table of choice.
Second Prize: 4-person Cassandra breakfast set in her signature Pomegranate design, plus a 60-cm Arcobaleno-topped bistro table
Third Prize: A $300 gift certificate to Giardini di Sole, redeemable online or at either showroom, and a Bridal Gift Basket”

One of the most often heard dilemmas in wedding planning is what should the moms wear? Do you have them wear long or short dresses? What colour should they wear and should the two moms coordinate so that one doesn’t upstage the other?
Well, the answers to these questions are simple but not necessarily set in stone; so, use these tips as guidelines when looking for mother of the bride dresses in Vancouver (or mother of the groom) or anywhere else for that matter.
Colour:
The colour mom wears should compliment the overall theme of the wedding and it should go well with the bridesmaid’s dresses. Etiquette tells us the mother of the bride chooses her colour before the mother of the groom and that the ladies outfits should compliment each other. Both moms should not clash with each other or with the bridesmaids. If a complimentary colour does not work with either mom, they should wear something neutral.
Some basic and fabulous mother of the bride colour choices are lavender, blue, rose, silver, burgundy or beige.
Style:
The style of the mother of the bride dress depends greatly on the style of the wedding. A formal evening affair would allow for a full length gown, whereas a lunchtime event or a cocktail party would be perfect for a short dress or two piece suit. In any case, the length of the mothers’ dresses should be knee length or longer.
Mother of the Bride Dress DON’TS:
Do not wear white. Always let the bride stand out not blend.
Do not wear black. It would appear you are either mourning or disapproving of the wedding.
Do not wear very bold colours if this is out of the norm for you. It will end up making you look tacky.
The final word on what the mother of the bride, or groom for that matter, will be wearing on the wedding day rests with the bride. The moms should consult with the bride along the way to get her input and to make sure that the dresses will ultimately work with the bride’s vision for her special day.
