Back in the day, getting married while with child was a fate that a bride-to-be avoided at all costs. In recent years, however, society has become relaxed towards the idea of an expectant woman walking down the aisle towards her betrothed. Sharing the promise of commitment while presenting the new life that is growing inside of you adds a special element to your big day that goes beyond a typical wedding. With this in mind, you can succeed in flaunting that fabulous bridal style with the opulent options that are available for mommy-to-bes. Whether you’re looking for a gown that flatters your growing belly or a dress that conceals your fruitful frame, you’ll be sure to find something that will allow your loved ones to appreciate the wonder of your wedding day while adoring the beauty of pregnancy.

If you’re in no rush to get married before you start showing and aren’t bashful about your fuller figure, Pregnant Bride suggests that you look into shopping for a maternity gown. Hardly the monstrous muumuus of yesteryear, there are scores of sensational styles to choose from. What’s better, you can also shop online for beautiful bridal gowns from such wedding boutique websites such as Jessica Iverson Couture without having to sacrifice the luxury that a designer gown would bring. However, it is strongly suggested that you acquire a tailor that will be able to make last-minute alterations without spending a great deal of time or fuss, should you become bigger over time.

Then again, if you prefer to tie the knot before you start to show, we at Yazzie & Co. highly suggest that you collaborate with a masterful wedding dress maker or sharp bridal designer that will be able to skillfully conceal your growing belly. Do immediately inform them of your being with child so that they can accommodate you by adjusting your gown while being able to take it in prior to your big day so that it will fit your frame. According to Pregnant Bride, an early-pregnancy bride can’t go wrong with an A-line gown or a baby-doll style dress – both of which you’d be sure to find in Therez Fleetwood's versatile wedding dress collection.

Worried about choosing the right accessories that will complete your magnificent mommy-to-be bridal style? No need to be, for you can still wear that radiant veil and stunning ring on the big day while being mindful of what you pick. For instance, you should make sure that your veil isn’t so long that you run the risk of tripping over it. In addition, you want to make sure that your chosen wedding ring will fit you on your wedding day. Pregnant Bride recommends that you have your real ring fitted before you are further along while using a mock ring for the ceremony or snagging a trinket that will fit your already-swollen finger on that day and alter it post-pregnancy. As for your hot honeymoon night? You’ll surely be able to find your share of sultry lingerie to fit your frame that will knock your new hubby’s socks off. With lovely maternity unmentionables from chic websites such as Bellabumbum to pick from, you’ll finish off your wedding day with a fabulous flourish!

Michael Jackson - The Icon of Love

While we were unfortunate to lose the greatest entertainer of our generation this past Thursday, we at Yazzie & Co. choose to pay homage to the King of Pop in a different way. Instead of dwelling on the tabloid fodder or the overwhelming sense of loss of his passing, we are going to focus on the greatest gift that he blessed us with - his music. Though there are various themes that many can take away from it, the most pervasive has been his message of love. Whether it was the rapture of romance or the innocence of love, Michael Joseph Jackson managed to convey both with such heartfelt emotion and incredible ease that his music surpassed any boundaries. To put it simply, he embodied the spirit of true love - something that we're definitely about celebrating.

As we thumb through our memories of the many MJ songs that have touched our hearts throughout, it's undeniable that they've served as the soundtrack to our lives. Whether you were marveling about human nature or reminiscing about the good times, his songs have always had the power to leave an indelible impression that lasts beyond the actual track. Moreover, many a wonderful milestone has celebrated the splendor of love to the tune of Michael's tender countertenor. So, though we are indeed saddened about his death, we surely appreciate his innate ability to express the feelings that our mere words couldn't even begin to convey. Not only will we at Yazzie & Co. miss him, we will forever be grateful to him for symbolizing pure love through music while asking us to blame it on his boogie. In closing, we ask all of you to join us in doing what Michael would've wanted us to do - enjoy ourselves to the tune of his irreplacable music while working day and night to keep the spirit of love alive.

Sincerely,
