Hats For Weddings

There are many ways that you can use hats to support your favorite team. Hats are becoming more and more popular as ideas to be used as a symbol of what teams you love and what teams you want to see succeed. However, its important to know that how you wear a hat says just as much as what the hat itself says.

If you are interested in fashion hats, you know that there are all types of hats that you can wear. However, have you ever though of paying attention to how you wear them? How you wear them has a lot to do with how they look on you and whether or not they make a statement about the team that you are trying to support. If you want to find the coolest hats, you can check out http://hatheadonlnie.com for the latest in caps and hat trends.

Pay close attention to the way you are wearing your hats. If you are a hat person, and you have always found yourself wearing hats, you can easily be seen in baseball caps or fashion hats. However, most of the time the two don’t go hand in hand. If you want to find good hats for women and good hats for men, you have to keep in mind what your style is and how you plan on incorporating that into your hat wearing use.

First of all, if you play sports, you are probably accustomed to hats. If you have a baseball or a football or even a hockey or golf game to get to, you are probably used to wearing hats, but in this case they are probably not fashion hats, but hats that are used for a purpose, such as sun hats. Such baseball caps and other types of hats can be used for sun protection, and this is often why they are used during sports games – to protect you from the sun. This is why people began to wear hats during sporting events, and this way it sticks.

If you aren’t into sports, you can still be into hats. You might find yourself wearing fashion hats even if you don’t follow the NBA or the NHL, NFL, MLB, or NCAA. Wearing hats for fashion is something that has become very popular because you are finding yourself in situations in which wearing hats is great for you. Great fashion hats can come in many brands, but Timberland, Kangol or New Era are all very popular brands. If you are into fashion hats but you can’t afford the name brand hats, you can also buy fashion hats that are made by different companies but are just like the name brand fashion hats.

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
I want to make ethical hats for weddings, what materials should I use and where can I buy them from?
My tutor has used feathers, crinoline, felt any other suggestions on alternatives?
I’ve been using recycled fabrics, and would like to use a range of fabrics that are fair trade. I make fascinators which are usually made up of crinoline, sinamay and feathers. Is it ethically correct to use feathers in fashion even if recycled?
- ANSWER:
  Are you after “ethical” or earth and eco-friendly? The two can be incompatible as sometimes so-called “ethical” is neither organic nor eco-friendly. If you are aiming for all natural organic recycled products then yes, feathers are fine as they are 100% natural, biodegradable, and earth friendly, especially recycled feathers. It’s a shame to toss them in the garbage and add to the growing landfill crisis. Fake feathers are made of plastic look cheap, ugly and tacky, they aren’t biodegradable,. Eco-ethical customers who will buy organic and natural materials would never ever buy anything made with any plastic as it is highly toxic and earth unfriendly. Not to mention ugly and tacky looking.
  
  And there’s the problem, does a bride really want to wear something plastic on her “special day?” Or does she want something special?
  
  Many so called ethical products are made of synthetics, which are sourced from petrochemicals, and oil companies don’t have a very ethical history. And no there is no eco friendly or ethical plastic so don’t ask, once you understand the process by which plastic is made, you’ll understand why the two are incompatible ideas. Oil companies haven’t been ethical or fair to their workers, to the land they destroy or to the animals who are killed through habitat destruction from oil exploration and refining. Having said that, some consider and animal products unethical and prefer ethical over organic and eco friendly. Environmental ethics isn’t important to them.
  
  You need to narrow it down, instead of ethical, perhaps organic and earth friendly would be a better advertising tag. You’ll get far more customers. There are many who prefer eco friendly and prefer all natural over synthetic. The earth friendly eco friendly craftspeople I know are all experiencing growth in their business as people become more aware of how their choices affect the earth they live on. Traditional materials such as raffias, straw, silk, wool and cottons can be purchased through wholesale millinery and craft sources. Wool is about as natural and renewable a resource as you can get, there are cotton nettings available for veils, etc.
  
  The truth is there is no way to tell if everything you use is “ethically made” or not. Some suppliers will say they are ethical, but unless you track down everything to its source, you can’t know for certain. I use recycled fabrics in some of the clothes I make and they sell well. Eco seems to be quite hot right now.
QUESTION:
What is the British tradition of wearing fancy hats to weddings (I’m American & have a UK wedding to go to)?!
I have lived in the UK for 5 years, but have only just been invited to my first wedding in this country! It’s my understanding that women usually wear fancy hats (or sometimes feather fascinators) to weddings? I am a bit reluctant to do so because I think I’ll look stupid! Am I expected to wear a hat, and/or if I don’t, will I be the only one without one? Is it OK to wear a fascinator instead, as I think I may feel a bit more comfortable wearing one of those (plus they’re a bit less expensive than hats!) Any advice would be really appreciated!!!
- ANSWER:
  There’s no obligation for you to wear a hat, except if you’re one of the principles. A feather creation will look good, depending on the style of outfit that you choose.
QUESTION:
What is the etiquette for ladies wearing hats to outdoor weddings? I am attending a wedding this week & would
like to wear a hat with my cotton summer tea length dress. What are the rules to follow for ladies and hats? Do I have to remove my hat at any time and if it is a wide brimmed hat are there any rules about embracing someone without smacking them in the face with the brim. Any quick help would be great!
- ANSWER:
  You are permitted to wear your hat outdoors as long as you do not block the view of other participants. Remember this as you choose your hat. Perhaps you might select something with a mesh or net brim.
  If you are blocking someone’s view it would be considerate to remove the hat before being asked.
  When greeting others, you are allowed to keep the hat on and assume the “air kiss” head position in order to not poke them with the brim. If you are poking people, take it off.
  
  Much of etiquette is simple courtesy.
QUESTION:
What is a good web site for authentic English ladies hats, the kind worn to weddings and the such?
- ANSWER:
  if you go on ebay uk you’ll find plenty of them for sale – including websites from people who sell them professionally
  
  if you want to buy one, I’d recommend somewhere like John Lewis … you can go to one of their shops (they’ve got branches all round the country) I found a lovely one for my daughter’s wedding there, very reasonably priced … I think for something like a hat you need to try it on and see what you look like in the mirror, it’s difficult to tell from an illustration whether it would suit you or not
QUESTION:
Mature ladies!, do any of you still wear head squares?…or hats!…?

QUESTION:
I am starting an occasion hat business for weddings etc ?
Will the recession affect the start up of my business i will be selling table decorations and favours also bridal accessories
- ANSWER:
  The main thing that affects any business, recession or not, is how it markets itself. Market well and you’ll always have business; neglect your marketing and, no matter what the economic climate, you’ll soon go out of business.
  
  People are still getting married so they still want hats and table decorations. Link up with others who target the same market – florists, photographers, car hire people, for example – and find a way to market alongside them. Go to bridal fairs to promote your products. That’s where the people who want them gather. Think of other places that they go – jewellers, for example.
  
  Good luck with your business!

QUESTION:
Is it appropriate to wear a hat inside a church for a wedding and/or evening reception/?
I have worn hats to many weddings in England both outdoors and inside churches. It is acceptable and usually expected. Is this appropriate here in the U.S? I have also worn my hats to evening receptions indoors. Any thoughts? Thanks!
- ANSWER:
  It is very appropriate for woman to wear a hat in church in the US. I’m really sorry that people are giving you such worthless advice. When I was younger it was mandatory, but a lot of dress rules have been relaxed. It is more common to wear a hat in the UK than in the US, but it is never frowned upon.

QUESTION:

QUESTION:
What are etiquette guidelines for ladies who wear (dressy) hats?
Are they ever not appropriate? Do we remove for National Anthem, like men do for baseball-type caps? Can they be worn to evening weddings?
- ANSWER:
  Ladies’ hats are appropriate for any event. They do not have to be removed for the National Anthem or for any other reason. If someone will be seated behind you for a wedding or some other event, don’t wear a hat that is so large it will block their view.
QUESTION:
Why Are We So Obsessed With Royal Weddings?
Where I live, in Ontario, Canada, some of the shop owners closed their stores, and stayed home to watch the Royal Wedding on Friday. Where I work we set up a theatre so people who were interested could come in for free and watch the replay of the wedding ceremony. We served tea in china cups and saucers, petite sandwiches and dainties and we even sent out invitations to people asking the women to wear gloves and hats. It wasn’t mandatory, but just for fun. I think it was great that everyone was so excited about it, but I was satisfied watching the highlights on the evening news. How many shared the tremendous enthusiasm?
- ANSWER:
  It gives the dead the impression that they have a life. The trouble is people don’t realize the subliminal proposition behind all the exaggerated media coverage. They finally think that it is good to have a few extremely rich people living off their hard earned tax dollars.
QUESTION:
looking for a ad slogan?
I run a custom hat making business, and I’m going to advertise in a huge wedding guide, offering custom veils and wedding accessories, including keepsake corsages and bouquets, ring pillows, hats and headwear for the bridal party.

But i’m stuck for a good slogan – my general one is “Custom Hats for All Occasions – since I do a broad span of hat stuff – weddings is one market, historically accurate is another, and then the scifi and anime crowd is another.

QUESTION:
This is for the ladies….?
…Do you wish elegant hats for weddings and the like would make a comeback?
I have always thought elegant hats compliment a beautiful suit or a romantic dress. I think they top off an elegant outfit. I think many people love watching the Kentucky Derby for that reason. All the women look so lovely and they take special care in finding just the right hat to compliment the outfit.
- ANSWER:
  I think we have become all too casual in dress for certain occasions. Big lovely hats and lovely flowing gowns should also be the dress for attendees … I love to feel as feminine and beautiful as the bride and her party — nothing so spectacular as to take away from them, but a cotton dress for summer and maybe a knit dress for winter. It is just so exciting to go through getting ready, finding the right outfit, maybe a manicure and a massage, a bubble bath, getting your hair done. Donning some sparkly jewelry and shoes. Yeah! I really wish for that, a day to spend like a character in a fairy tale story.

QUESTION:
Dress code for weddings or funerals?
Why dont people still know how to dress for certain occasions? Is it is proper to wear casual/play clothes to a wedding or funeral?

Weddings: some wear shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes, or flip flops? This is rude to a formal event! Please dont say “you should be comfortable”. You can be comfy & not tacky at the same time. If you are an adult & dont own a suit shoes, then you should not be socializing!

Should ladies wear an entirely black outfit? Isnt that the mourning color? & should they try to out-dress the bride? Or look cheap, like they are going to a club or BET video shoot?

Funerals:
Same issue w/ casual. Sometimes it seems the opposite with this & weddings, people tend to try to be flashy. Bright clothes, fancy hats etc.

Am I the only one who sees this? How do you feel about these occasions not being respected eitquite wise by dress code? & those who do it, dont u think it rude or insulting? Do you think about this at all? Ever been told off b/c of it?
for those talking about the “theme” or the persons pesonality & location: all those are valid & I would have to agree. But I am speaking in general terms. Your standard or average wedding. If there is a beach theme, then by all means, wear a wet suit if that is what is called for! But other wise, you are best to show up dressed for the occasion.

Coming in from work & doing a pop in, is fine & understandable. But not if you come with your paper hat on. I realize that there are many variations & little quirks. But what is the reason for coming to a Saturday wedding in jam shorts & flip flops? You could have put on khakis, loafers & an oxford. I am not saying to dress up for the red carpet! Just be appropriate. Dont have them guess if you are there for the wedding or volleyball turnament.

To everything there is a proper way to do it.
- ANSWER:
  I’m with you, I’m from the south and for the most part we still follow etiquette rules down here.
  
  and bright colors to a funeral is rude to the family, you cause a distraction. Saying these rules are outdated and that you shouldn’t have to follow them, or try to means you’re too lazy to dress right
QUESTION:
Why do women wear these silly baseball caps?
I find it so unwomanly especially when they have beautiful hair. Do they want to prove something? Is it fashionable?
I don’t like hats for women at all, but realise that there are occasions where wearing a hat is obligatory: weddings, official engagements, some churches. I still feel ill at ease, but as it would be impolite, I go along with it. Then there are the woolly hats, and sun hats to protect us against the cold and the sun. OK, no problems with that, but why should women be “hatted” all day long in- and outside when there is no need for it? (I missed a few dates with girls, because of this).

Note: Yes, my avatar has a hat, but that’s not the real me.
Sorry I can’t decide on the best answer, so I leave it to others to vote.
My question was about women wearing a hat/cap ALL DAY.
Thanks for your responses anyway.
- ANSWER:
  Maybe possibly because they like them? Probably the same reason I insist on having my lip pierced and dye my hair different colours whenever I want to, it all comes down to personal taste. Would you like someone telling you to not wear a certain kind of shirt even though it was your favourite and most comfiest shirt? Just because you don’t like the silly hats (And I do agree with you by the way) doesn’t mean that everyone else shouldn’t either, if these women want to wear these items then let them, its upto them and nothing to do with you I’m afraid.
  
  We have freedom of choice for a reason…
QUESTION:
weddings on tv?
I watch ‘for better or for worse on sky tv ,are the weddings they do for that prog. traditional American style weddings,they go in for alot of flower decorations petals on the ground etc. nobody really dresses up or the ladies wear hats etc.
Channerp I have asked ‘ are those weddings on f.b.o.f.worse traditional American weddings , thats all
- ANSWER:
  Gosh I hope you don’t think that everything you see on television reflects true life!!! Those TV wedding shows are selected because they’re diffrent or they reflect the producer’s taste. Weddings in the US and Canada are as varied as the people who live here and the most important aspect of planning is MONEY. Some families want to impress relatives so much that they will mortgage a house. Crazy! If you’re in the UK, yes, you see ladies wearing hats to weddings but in America that’s really gone out of fashion. Possibly because women spend so much time and effort on their hair, they don’t want “hat hair” afterwards and also because hats are so expensive for just one use. Guests at weddings dress just as they would dress for any party and that is determined by their customs, place they live, respect for family, good manners. People who are invited to sit-down dinners and who have received a beautiful invitation and who know the bride is wearing a formal long white gown generally have enough brains to dress “to the nines” in cocktail attire. Ethnicity also counts. Guests at an Iranian reception for example are expected to dress in long dresses or at least really beautiful clothing. The only time jeans and golf shirts would be acceptable is if the bride and groom said the wedding was outdoors and the reception was going to be a hot dog weiner roast and beer.
QUESTION:
Where can one find a ‘casual’ top hat?
This is a bit of an odd question, but I guess it’s because (as evidenced from my avatar) I’m a bit of a fan of dressing a bit smartly. I’m quite a dapper young man and definitely have a rose-tinted, nostalgic view of how gentlemen used to dress (in fact as I type this I am wearing a waistcoat) but at the same time I don’t like to look TOO posh (like when one goes to a wedding in creaseless suits and shiny shoes).

To that end, I am trying to find something that I can only describe as a ‘casual’ top hat. All I can find online are really-really smart hats for the aforementioned weddings or royal ascot etc., but I want something a bit threadbare; a bit aged, something that is designed to be worn every day, not just special occasions.

The obvious answer would be to check out charity shops and the like, but I was wondering if anyone could save me a little shoe-leather and direct me to a website (or even a shop that they know of) that may have a selection of hats of this nature.

I just think one would suit me!
For extra help, I live in the UK, in Somerset, but I vist London irregularly and so would not mind going there! Thanks for the suggestions so far!
- ANSWER:
  Here is a website with a good selection in the beginning. Judging how you describe your style, you’ll probably choose to ignore the costumey ones that follow.
  
  http://www.villagehatshop.com/top_hats.html
  
  It would greatly help your answerers if you say what area you live in. I’m sure if you live in a big city like New York, people can direct you to stores where you can shop.
QUESTION:
Homework help with the poem “The Whitsun Weddings”?
The question is
What image do we have of Larking as he reveals himself to us in the poem? Focus on the details which contribute to the self portrait. What is his initial response to the wedding?

That Whitsun, I was late getting away:
Not till about
One-twenty on the sunlit Saturday
Did my three-quarters-empty train pull out,
All windows down, all cushions hot, all sense
Of being in a hurry gone. We ran
Behind the backs of houses, crossed a street
Of blinding windscreens, smelt the fish-dock; thence
The river’s level drifting breadth began,
Where sky and Lincolnshire and water meet.

All afternoon, through the tall heat that slept
For miles inland,
A slow and stopping curve southwards we kept.
Wide farms went by, short-shadowed cattle, and
Canals with floatings of industrial froth;
A hothouse flashed uniquely: hedges dipped
And rose: and now and then a smell of grass
Displaced the reek of buttoned carriage-cloth
Until the next town, new and nondescript,
Approached with acres of dismantled cars.

At first, I didn’t notice what a noise
The weddings made
Each station that we stopped at: sun destroys
The interest of what’s happening in the shade,
And down the long cool platforms whoops and skirls
I took for porters larking with the mails,
And went on reading. Once we started, though,
We passed them, grinning and pomaded, girls
In parodies of fashion, heels and veils,
All posed irresolutely, watching us go,

As if out on the end of an event
Waving goodbye
To something that survived it. Struck, I leant
More promptly out next time, more curiously,
And saw it all again in different terms:
The fathers with broad belts under their suits
And seamy foreheads; mothers loud and fat;
An uncle shouting smut; and then the perms,
The nylon gloves and jewellery-substitutes,
The lemons, mauves, and olive-ochres that

Marked off the girls unreally from the rest.
Yes, from cafés
And banquet-halls up yards, and bunting-dressed
Coach-party annexes, the wedding-days
Were coming to an end. All down the line
Fresh couples climbed aboard: the rest stood round;
The last confetti and advice were thrown,
And, as we moved, each face seemed to define
Just what it saw departing: children frowned
At something dull; fathers had never known

Success so huge and wholly farcical;
The women shared
The secret like a happy funeral;
While girls, gripping their handbags tighter, stared
At a religious wounding. Free at last,
And loaded with the sum of all they saw,
We hurried towards London, shuffling gouts of steam.
Now fields were building-plots, and poplars cast
Long shadows over major roads, and for
Some fifty minutes, that in time would seem

Just long enough to settle hats and say
I nearly died,
A dozen marriages got under way.
They watched the landscape, sitting side by side
- An Odeon went past, a cooling tower, And
someone running up to bowl – and none
Thought of the others they would never meet
Or how their lives would all contain this hour.
I thought of London spread out in the sun,
Its postal districts packed like squares of wheat:

There we were aimed. And as we raced across
Bright knots of rail
Past standing Pullmans, walls of blackened moss
Came close, and it was nearly done, this frail
Travelling coincidence; and what it held
stood ready to be loosed with all the power
That being changed can give. We slowed again,
And as the tightened brakes took hold, there swelled
A sense of falling, like an arrow-shower
Sent out of sight, somewhere becoming rain.
- ANSWER:
  First off, is the protagonist directly involved? Is he a guest at a wedding? No – he is an observer. It is wedding season and the first stanza describes his train journey as he watches these weddings through the window. He is set apart and isolated from the joy going on outside. What does he think of the weddings he witnesses? Look for the negative words – ‘Noise’. Vain, “posing” girls, the mothers “loud and fat”, the uncles “shouting smut” and the children “frowning at something dull”. They are all the same to him. He doesn’t see them as individuals – they are stereotypes. And to him, they are all self-important – pompous and un-unique. Like the father who ‘has never known success so huge and wholly farcical”. Larkin hates commercialism – superficiality; people spending money on mindless things (in all honesty, he hated a variety of things!) He sees the girls in ‘heels and veils’ – the ‘perms, nylon gloves and jewellery substitutes’ and makes their efforts seem cheap and unremarkable. Because to him they are all the same – fake. I think this gives an insight into someone who is disillusioned, cynical and embittered. As you can see, he also didn’t have a very high opinion of the institution of marriage.
QUESTION:
What would be a good tuxedo gimmick for my wedding?
My buddies and I have a sort of tradition that we’re carrying through our respective weddings. For example, I was in one friend’s wedding and all of us groomsmen wore black Converse All-Star hi-tops with our tuxedos. For another friend of mine, we all had Kangol hats that we wore. I’m trying to find something unique for me and my groomsmen to do. Any ideas?
- ANSWER:
  Top hats…pocket watches….fancy carved canes….funny patterned socks…creative bow ties, unusual cufflinks…sports/hobby themed tie tacks…pocket napkins with interesting sayings embroidered on the inside. Have your gimmick, but make sure it is still classy…Remember, this is your wedding…a special, wonderful occasion, not a comedy!

Is it okay for me to wear a top hat and cane to my sister’s wedding?
I recently got a very bad haircut and want to cover it with a hat.

So at my sister’s wedding I plan on wearing a top hat and holding a cane. I have seen this at old fashion weddings but is it appropriate.
- ANSWER:
  If you go by the book, it is not proper to wear a hat indoors.
  
  You will be drawing a pathetic amount of attention to yourself if you arrive in this somewhat costume-like attire at your brother’s wedding.
  
  Don’t do it. Shave your head or get your hair restyled.

UK Afternoon Church Wedding in May Question?
Hello Everyone,
I have been invited to the wedding of a near relative/close family friend who is marrying in the UK. The groom is English and was able to tell me that he found weddings to be more formal than they are here in the states. I am wondering what would be acceptable attire, without coming across as either painfully proper or hopelessly American underdressed. The bride and groom are just 30, I’m 33. It is a big wedding, held in an abbey and all at 2pm. I understand that hats are the thing at weddings in the UK? Thanks much for the help!

QUESTION:
How many other people are totally miffed?
Sick of people ripping on Smoke
Okay, here it goes. I am totally frustrated, miffed and pissed off at people who hate Tony Stewart. Other drivers do the same damn thing Tony does but Tony is labeled bad and an asshole and a jerk among other colorful anecdotes to describe his demeanor. I am ready to blow a gasket I swear.

So Tony has a temper, so does everybody else. He’s opinionated. He’s honest. He’s a bit aggressive on the track and he gets sick of media sticking their damn microphones in his face when he gets out of his car. The man is claustrophobic, give him a break.

I want to see one of these buttheads in the media do what Tony does with the pressure on him he has. He’s a man for crying out loud! He is not perfect.

If any man has ever had a heart it is Tony Stewart! Bad boy my ass. He donates money to all sorts of causes. He takes his time with each fan when he can. His heart is broken over the loss of others loved ones. He loans out his chopper and his plane to friends for funerals, emergencies and weddings. He gives and he gives but all people want to see is the side of Tony that embarasses even him at times.

Give the man a break! He’s talented. He can drive anything with wheels on it and win. He’s won so many damn championships in so many different kinds of cars it’s insane. He deserves some respect for the things he does. So you’re not a fan! Keep your mouth shut. Wear his shoes for a day and see if you can hold your head high at the end of the day.

I am just fed up. He is not gay. He is not an asshole nor is he the other versions of that word I hear so often. He wears his heart on his sleeve but I think he has finally realized that all you people want to do is stomp it for him. Shoot me if I am wrong but he is a man and he will make mistakes. He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like everbody else. He loves what he does.

The media needs to back off a bit and let Smoke breathe. The fans who don’t like Tony need to take a better look at the man. I am ready to kick some serious butt. One more person approaches me to inform me that my jacket or my tshirt or my hat shows I am stupid because of Tony I am going to go absolutely nuts. Psycho ward here I come because I cannot handle people putting this man down anymore.

I am a Tony Stewart fan. I will always be a fan, even if he runs a reporter over with his stock car. I have great respect for him. He is my hero. If you don’t like that, that is not my damn problem. Give me some respect and Tony some and keep your stinking mouth shut. I have stopped slamming Gordon and the Busch brothers out of respect. Why can’t everybody else?

Oh that’s right because it’s easier to put someone else down than it is to look at your own faults as an individual. Get a life!
I could tell you a few stories where I have been picked out of a crowd for being a Tony fan and all but hospitalized but we wont go there will we J Lo because after all Gordon fans never get violent! I don’t hate the drivers I hate the stupid fans who use it as an excuse to hurt people.
- ANSWER:
  Those who think that it is easy to go out on the track, put up with some of the nonsense and still be perfect ought to try getting out there. racing is not just driving a car that your team maintains, but knowing what the car needs in set-up, how it is handling, etc. road rage is wrong, but on the track, when week after week some other drives pull the same garbage, sometimes a driver has to make a move and sometimes they have no place to go. I am not strictly a stewart fan, but I like him and you are right. just yesterday he was talking about the children’s camp he supports.I am at the races every week and it just amazes me when I hear people who think the drivers have no brains and can’t wait for the next crash. they are not true racefans. It takes a lot of nerve to get out there and a lot of knowledge to keep that big monster they are sitting in going and staying out of trouble. Everyone has their favorites, so they should keep their mouths shut when another person wears shirts, hats, etc., of their favorite driver. but, like anything else, you will have many opinions on one driver, they love or hate him. Being in racing and being there every week, I know of the many problems there can be, but the drivers love it, put up with it, that is why they drive. I know it is hard to hear the filth out of some people’s mouths, try not to let it upset you. I know it is hard, you just have to ignore the ignorant people, they don’t know what they are talking about.
QUESTION:
I’ve figured out why i get sad at weddings?
i get sad at weddings because….i don’t think that it will ever be me up there with a girl. If you read through my previous questions you may understand my uncertainty. I believe I’m gay. The term for this being “coming out” i know hat if i told my family they would only see the bad in it and if i were to marry a guy, they wouldn’t treat him with the same degree of respect as they would a wife. If i follow what my attractions tell me then i will not have any children of my own and suppose i do marry a guy. if me or him were to die and i went to his funeral or he went to mine, they wouldn’t treat him with the same amount of compassion as they would a grieving widow. A more recent example right now would be that if i told a single soul about my thoughts, my school would immediately expel me. What should i do? Should i bury my feelings forever or let them loose into the world?

QUESTION:
I’m going to a wedding in Puebla, Mexico. What would be appropriate attire for this event?
The bride & groom are Mexican, and the wedding is Catholic. The ceremony starts at 9 (!) in the evening. I’m assuming the sun dress type of attire that is prevalent at California weddings wouldn’t work in this situation. Plus I’m assuming that in a church I should have my shoulders covered (??). I’ve been told that Mexican weddings are very formal…but are we talking a Joan Collins Dynasty type sequined get up or Jackie O-ish skirt w matching jacket and hat? Or something else entirely….? Is black ok?

QUESTION:
who designed the hat Oprah wore in the Wedding Crasher clips (for future shows)?
it was a floppy straw hat that covered much of her face. it kind of looked like a Kaminski, but more refined. it was shown all over the media about 2 weeks ago when she “crashed” some weddings in Oklahoma (I think) for a new show for next season. I have searched all over and found tons of references to her in the hat, and pics, but the designer is never specified…. thanks in advance if you know the answer. I need a new hat for an outdoor function and loved Oprah’s.
- ANSWER:
  That hat was an Ola Kazan’s, made just for Oprah. They have a similar hat at Vetters on Rodeo Drive, in Beverly Hills, 8.00. Peach, or Salmon.
QUESTION:
How can I raise money for my Church and keep it legal?
I run a very small Church of Atheism in Eau Claire WI. I am afraid to take any contributions because I do not know what I can put the revenue towards. Obviously I could spend it on directly related supplies, but what about travel costs to officiate weddings, or salary?

Could I sell shirts, books, and hats related to Atheism and still be legal on my nonprofit status?

I guess I don’t know what it means. Take Catholicism. A non-profit franchise more or less with giant salaries and the ability to construct multimillion dollar facilities and pay operating costs for those facilities to boot. I run my Church from my home. What separates traditional nonprofits from a regular corporation?
- ANSWER:
  Just pass a basket around like other churches.
QUESTION:
Does anyone know anything about Mariachi bands?
I have to write a dumb essay on World Music for band class. So i chose Mariachi. I’ve pretty much been copying it off of Wikipedia ( you don’t need to write essays in band, thats what english is for) but im afraid the teacher might get smart. Does anyone know anything about Mariachi music? This is what i have so far:
Mariachi is a type of musical group originating from Mexico. Usually a mariachi band consists of at least two violins, two trumpets, one Spanish guitar, one vihuela (a 5 stringed guitar), and one guitarrón (a small acoustic bass.) They dress in silver studded outfits and wide-brimmed hats. Mariachi musicians were originally street musicians or buskers, but because of they’re great popularity, they are now hired for gigs, celebrations, weddings, and for serenading women. It has a fast and lively son jalisciense tempo that is enjoyed throughout the world.

Mariachi began in the nineteenth century in the Mexican state of Jalisco, in the town of Cocula. The Mariachi was the distinctive version of the Spanish theatrical orchestra of violins, harp and guitars which developed in and around Jalisco. In other areas such as Veracruz and the Huasteca region in the northeast, the ensemble evolved differently. By the end of the nineteenth century, in Cocula the vihuela, two violins, and the guitarrón (which had replaced the harp) were the instruments of the Mariachi.

In the 19th century, Mariachis were roaming laborers. With the revolution, many of the haciendas were forced to let the mariachis go. They would then wander from town to town singing songs of revolutionary heroes and enemies, carrying news from one place to another. Still not enjoying the same position they had before, the mariachis took to playing in public venues for a fee. One of the most popular venues was San Pedro Tlaquepaque in the state of Jalisco, a fashionable place for the residents of Guadalajara to spend their summers. Since they were playing for a fee they were forced to add new elements to their music and to expand their repertoire to include waltzes and polkas. Mariachi music soon became popular and spread to all parts of Mexico.

People who play Mariachi music are called
- ANSWER:
  Well, my parents are Mexican (from Jalisco to be exact) and you pretty much summed it up. I don’t know what else to say. Some of the famous mariachi singers of the past were Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, Lola Beltran, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, etc. They are considered to be legends not only in Mexico but in all of Latin America.
QUESTION:
Does this look Plagiarized ?? A project I wrote in my own words?
I just need to know if it does cause i got some of the stuff but i did it in my own words

Mariachi

Mariachi is a music group that came from Cocula, Jalisco. They usually dress in silver

outfits with a top edged hat. They usually do paid shows for weddings and quinceañera.

In the 19th century Mariachi were laborers moving to another place to another. But

people were forced to kick out the mariachi so they played songs in towns. Mariachi

music if for dancing and people do different dances to different songs that the Mariachi

play, like the Mexican Hat Dance (which is not the National Dance Of Mexico) and the

zapateado. Mexico. Before the 1930’s mariachi was not that known yet, but that changed

when a Mariachi Group called Vargas de Tecalitlán founded by a guy named Gaspar

Vargas. Then the President of Mexico asked the group to play for his ceremony as

President. Mariachi music has a mixture of melodies common introductions and bridges.

Mariachi music is made up of other music pieces put together.

  The different types of clothing used by people from different fields of work, clothing used for special occasions, clothing used in different countries are ultimately statements made by the wearer of these clothes about the places, occasions they are worn at. They are also dependent on a number of different factors like environment ,climate, weather, place where it is worn etc.
QUESTION:
Could you tell me whether you think this is a good idea or not?
I have been thinking about this idea for a while but thought i’d just find out if you guys thought it was a bad or good idea:

I want to start my own business, sort of like an anne summers/Virgin Vie party but for weddings.
I will come to your house with wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, dresses for the guests, shoes, hats, hair pieces ect ect. So everyone can have a try on and a few drinks and enjoy themselves like girlies should before a wedding
The best part about it is all wedding dresses I will be selling will be at a fraction of the shop prices. I’m hoping more like £350 for a gorgeous dress instead of the shops £1000!
Let me know what you think and any ideas you wish to add.
I have worked in a wedding shop and modelled for wedding catalogues so do have a real interest.

Let me know what you think

Kirsty x
I want it to be more like a boutique so I wouldn’t be dragging 100 dresses around with me. Would just be a selection, id find out what colour the bride wants b4 to make it easier for the both of us. Maybe this would appeal to someone thats not on a large budget??

QUESTION:
Fashion Advice Required for the Melbourne Cup?
Ok – I know this is the wrong section but you answerers in the weddings are always so much better than the fashion category!

I am hopeless with fashion so want some advice on how to look great for the Melbourne Cup this year. I am going to wear this dress…

It’s a little hard to see but it is fitted and rouched all the way down with a high neckline with thick straps.

I don’t want to wear black with it like in that photo so I was wondering what you thought of adding gold or cream coloured accessories instead to make it more ‘light’ and daytime appropriate?

Maybe a fascinator like this one?

http://www.hatsfromoz.com.au/catalog/images/hats_images/fashion/S880_cream.jpg

I have reasonably short hair which I am growing out but the bottom layer won’t be much past my shoulders by the time of melbourne cup.

Any advice, comments, ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
- ANSWER:
  Alright here goes.
  Thing about races… Is you can go out and get couture. I totally recommend this. I actually love the fascinator but I don’t know how well it goes with the dress. It may go better if you have a bolero or something that is airy and modern something like this:
  
  In a cream color

  Or even something like this
  
  http://www.etsy.com/listing/53606096/beauty-parade-fashion-glamour-felted?ref=v1_other_2
  
  Although the above may be difficult considering the strapless ness of your dress… It could still add a ton of drama.
  
  Wear them with some crazy loud shoes… Maybe vintage maybe even gold…

  The above aren’t loud except in color but would go so well with the fascinator you pictured and would go a long way to making your outfit a blast.
  
  Luck!
QUESTION:
Christians, what does your church family mean to you?
My church held a funeral this past weekend for Rollie Henderson, aged 94 when The Lord called him home. Funerals are one of those things, like weddings, that help us see the best in each other.

The church was packed, and the closeness and the heat focused the congregation, waiting, nervous, as though uncertain of itself. We were of one mind, one accord, a single entity at this point; we were “the church”. A low hum filled the air as we softly sang in wordless mourning, a sound rising and falling like breathing. Grief in perfect harmony, it surely was. There is this about southern congregations of the faithful, this music that fills them. It is imparted into our marrow, nurtured in us from a thousand nights of song, the true language of the southern church. I know this language that starts from my heart. It was born in the fields where the slaves toiled, that song of affliction that becomes art, becomes the singular voice of the people, of my people. It wafts around me now, born about by the tempo of the slow, lazy movement of the fans, those paper fans pasted on sticks that I have known forever, that are part of the church attire. This is the Gospel according to The South, and it never fails to move me.

The preacher stands tall, opening an enormous black King James Bible, the only Bible we would ever think of using. Those words, those verses filled with thees and thous, is hallowed to us. The preacher lifts his eyes up and speaks out, loud, strong: “Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust!” Around me, the hum breaks into a hundred voices singing out from the old hymn, “Carry me home, Lord! My soul is weary and seeks rest!” Hands are raised, heads are bowed, as the pent-up tension shakes itself loose. We came here to mourn and we will do it beautifully, passionately. From the pulpit, the preacher half-sings his sermon, telling of the life of mortal man, and of our departed brother, Rollie. Rollie, we are reminded, was a man who carried himself as a Christian, who knew he had a greater calling. He did not let life wear him down, even when faced with every tribulation the wicked hand of man could deliver. We are reminded of Rollie’s hard upbringing, working in the cotton fields from the time he was ten. We are reminded that, as a young man, only 15 years old, Rollie had helped cut down the body of the poor man who had been discovered hanging from the magnolia tree in the church yard, a lynching meant to intimidate the church. This same church held the funeral for the man, though he wasn’t a member. My own great-grandmother donated my deceased great-grandfather’s old Sunday best suit so that the body might be buried in dignity.

The preacher tells us how Rollie held no bitterness, even though he had to serve in a segregated combat unit in the Second World War, and was relegated to playing baseball in the old segregated nеgro leagues. Rollie was that good at baseball, and was a star to us black southerners. History passed him by, however, and he settled into life as a laborer after the war, after his youth faded. He carried himself always erect, always proud, though. He was a man of God, and one of our own. The preacher paints his life before us as an example of a man who has surely earned his reward in Heaven. I am sitting in the first row with the other senior ladies of the church, a position I attained only a few years ago and after my husband, God rest his soul, lost his life too early. We flank the grieving widow, aged and frail as parchment, and hold her up at this time of loss. We each have our lovingly-tended “church lady hats” on, each adorned with hand-sewn accoutrements such as feathers, artificial pearls, lace, and velvet trim. They are our crowns, and we sit, stately and majestic. More than anything, such occasions are the province of women, and we have prepared well for this one, spending hours of hard work rubbing orange oil into the church pews, scrubbing the wooden floors until you could see your reflection in them, and other tasks that make certain that the church is ready to receive one of its own to lie in state.

I look around at this church, these people, and feel such a pride in me. From the casket that holds the seemingly-carved-in-mahogany body of Brother Rollie, with its pile of wilting magnolia blossoms on the lower lid, to the ranks of the sanctified, sweating in their suits and starched shirts, their black dresses and matching jackets, this is my family. Like any family, we fight and quarrel, but we are there for each other. We will make a dignified procession to the grave, to commit our brother to God’s earth, and then adjourn to the widow’s house, mightily laden with food and drink prepared by the tireless hands of my church sisters and myself, to pay our respects and provide comfort. This is my church, these are my people. I can think of no greater honor than to be included among t
I can think of no greater honor than to be included among their ranks. I know in my heart that I am blessed.
What does your church family mean to you? Thank you for listening, and Vicki, I want you to know I love you, girl.
- ANSWER:
  You, my dear friend, have moved me to weep when I can not imagine how these eyes of mine can keep producing tears. You have managed to describe with such eloquence the very essence of my home and my church. My kitchen is like the sanctuary. The food is being prepared by loving hands and shared like I imagine The Lord’s Supper was meant to be shared. My family is the church and the church is my family.
  Before my son left his earthly body at 7:55pm, May 23, 2011, I pulled the sheet back and I kissed his feet…….just like I kissed them when he was placed in my arms thirty two years ago. The hospital room was our church for much of that day.
  I wish I were better able to express myself, but all I can say is thank you. I read this beautiful tribute, (if I may call this a tribute?), earlier and I made myself go to the kithchen and put on some collard greens and black eyed peas before I could respond. That was my contribution to the already generous amount of food in the house. We have to make sure the little ones are fed.

- ANSWER:
  Well that’s cool if you are a tomboy. that’s who you are. Im 23 years old female im married no kids yet. Im kinda tomboyish too. Im always out in about doing things with my husband. like fishing,hiking,riding the quads,into football. just doing other minor extreme stuff. And that’s cool you run around in sports bras and stuff. You see i have a different style to my own of what i wear. majority of the time im always wearing like short shorts like cut off jeans(daisy dukes) cut off t-shirts,tube tops(midriff styles),halter tops,crop tops,sport bras,and tiny bikinis. whether its in my own home or out in about doing some outdoor activities,depending were im at. Im able to pull it off i have a athletic body and yes i have big boobs too lol im a 34c. its what im custom to. most people would say its slutty or something. and no im not. i do dress modest and be professional. so anyways my advice to you would be. be who you are and stay in school and graduate. being in extreme sports is super cool but also set a good example to others. as we get older we become more mature about things in life and think back i should of done things differently. dream big and set goals im very sure you will do alright. i hope i have helped and wish you the best of luck
QUESTION:
Why do people/businesses wait until the last minute to order decorations for a large event?
I work for a wholesaler in the party supply business and I would like to know why people/businesses wait until the very last minute to order decorations for a very large event. I understand if it’s a small event or something personal but when there are let’s say 50 to 1000 customers coming to your event why do you leave it til the last minute forcing us to run around to get everything you need.

Here are some examples:
- A customer called looking for New Year Kits for an event for 1100 and they arrived on New Years Eve.
- A customer walked into looking for some 100-200 cowboy hats for an event later that night.
- Another customer wanted some balloons and New Year kits for New Years. We shipped them on the last possible day so they would arrive on New Year’s eve. However, this time the courier didn’t deliver them on time and they were out of luck.

It’s just not New Years but it’s weddings, anniversaries, etc. These events are set weeks in advanced so I just do not understand.

QUESTION:
What should a 28 year old woman wear to a buckingham palace Queen’s award reception?
I don’t know if we will be meeting his and her majesty as yet – but I have no idea what to wear! I don’t own or look good in hats and I live in my jeans! I own a couple of dresses but one is more evening wear for posh weddings and the rest more casual – and i don’t suit skirts that aren’t full length casual numbers. I don’t want to turn up and feel awkward but I am attending with an older lady so need some fashion advice for the younger visitor Any tips on etiquette also gratefully received!
- ANSWER:
  First off congrats. This is quite an honor.
  
  Second I do not think you have to worry about a hat. I do not feel that is the make or break of an outfit. However you are, or may, be seeing the queen. You have only the first chance to make a first impression.
  Easily if possible you may want to shop with your older friend so you can be somewhat together rather than totally clashed with her.
  
  A formal dress is mandatory. Not a slinky cocktail dress. Matching shoes and bag. Pearls are always a nice touch but either way a nice piece of jewelry again nothing to gaudy as this person can wear the crown jewels and hard to impress that way.
  
  As to etiquette-practice a curtsey. Once you get through the initial intro you are in much better stead.
  
  Good Luck and have fun
QUESTION:
Suggestions for a no DJ wedding reception?!?
I can see the benefits of having a DJ, but I mostly see the negatives. I even flirted with the idea and asked my DJ friend about prices and what is involved, but the price is too high for something I just don’t really want to have.

We’re going to make our own play list, I’m sure a dance floor will be there for those that want to dance, but I think we’re staying away from a first dance, a father/daughter dance, and so on. We’re just not dancers, and it’ll feel more awkward then natural. Do we really want to put ourselves through this at OUR wedding?

I’ve been looking around online for ideas to entertain our 80 guests without having a DJ or traditional dance floor. It’s been really hard, because I mostly stumble across sites for DJs saying how horrible weddings are without them. But I believe with the right planning we (and others) can make it work!

One thing we’re thinking of is having a poker table set up. Think it might be a good idea? I was thinking of ordering a wedding pinata as well, and maybe setting up a photo booth for our guests to take some crazy pictures in (maybe even have some fun hats there as well).

Do you guys have any other ideas? I’ve been to one wedding (even tho they had a DJ) where the set up a Ping Pong table. Everyone enjoyed it and the couple even had the guests sign it as well! Some people even suggested hooking up a Wii and playing party games. Our problem might be that we are out-of-state and finding a t.v. to borrow might prove difficult. I’ve even heard of some people giving out quizzes on how well you know the couple.

Also, what do you think would be too much? Having a poker table, a wii station – would it just feel like too much?

Please any and all suggestions are a must! Our wedding is three weeks away from today, and I’ve gotten almost everything else taken care of!
- ANSWER:
  Have a cocktail lounge set up and an ipod with a pre-designated playlist on shuffle. Photobooths are a blast at weddings and you can ask people to snip one picture out of them and put them in a book for you and your wife that you provide (make sure it is set up right next to the booth). The rest of the stuff sounds horrible, don’t do it. Most of the people won’t want to do that kind of stuff at a wedding. And yes, it is your wedding and you should have a sense of entitlement over the ceremony. But these people want a reception for THEM, since they flew from all over to see you and are bringing you two wonderful gifts. A reception should incorporate your interests while making sure your guests are taken care of
