Keep Summer Dress at the Beach: How to Create a Dress Policy For Your Company

by Melissa Mashtonio

Dress codes or policies may seem to stifle individuality and lead to tension in an office, but if done properly, such regulations can have the opposite effect. Dress codes ensure the happiness of the employer by helping the company shape its image and create a work-focused atmosphere rather than one of relaxing at home. Additionally, dress codes can hinder problems of sexual harassment by requiring modest dress and eliminate Worker's Compensation claims that arise from unsafe dress.

Employees also benefit from dress regulations as it takes the guess work out of getting dressed for the job. A team environment is created as all employees are dressing similarly, creating a feeling of unity within the office. Also, uniform dress codes can ease tensions caused by coworkers criticizing the dress of one another as too fancy or too sloppy.

When setting a dress code, an employer should keep in mind that there is no set policy for every company. Dress regulations vary depending on the type of workplace; a factory would require different attire than an office, for example.

General regulations for an office environment include ruling out overly casual or revealing clothing such as mini skirts and see-through fabrics. Any regulations about piercings, tattoos, and hairstyles should be included in a dress code as well as any restrictions on perfumes and colognes. When creating a dress policy, it also may be helpful to consult employees as well as customers about what they think is appropriate. Changes can always be made to a dress code, and allowing employee input will make the policy seem less restrictive. It also may be helpful to look at the dress policies of similar companies in order to create a new dress policy.

Once a dress code has been created, it is important to make all employees aware of the policy. Periodic reminders of the dress policy are helpful, especially at the onset of summer. The most important factor in implementing a dress policy is for the employer to create an example by following the dress policy. If the boss is dressed according to the regulations, it is likely employees will be inclined to follow suit (no pun intended). There also should be enforcement of the dress policy, complete with disciplinary action for infractions.

Taking into account these factors, the creation of a dress policy should be easy and painless. Don't be shy about changing the policy if need be; just be sure to alert all employees to changes immediately. Taking employee opinions into account is key to making a dress policy work at your company. When the dress policy makes everyone happy, the company will run smoothly and efficiently while projecting an image of professionalism and unity.

A wedding on a tropical island invokes images of sand, surf, and rolling waves. A gentle breeze and shimmering sunshine the bride who awaits her island wedding, in her beautiful island wedding dress.

Island wedding dress fabrics

Island wedding dresses are more an idea or a feeling than style per se. several aspects must be respected for the bride to feel comfortable at the beach during an island wedding. One of these is the trade winds, which are breezy and light. To be capable of using these trade winds in a bride's favor, fabrics that are light weight are best, such as georgette, linen, charmeuse, gauze, satin, cotton, silk, and chiffon. The advantage to these fabrics is their easy mobility; to limit the amount of sticking or clinging a fabric may have against a bride's skin, in the hot weather.

This means the bride's wedding dress will have to be packed, therefore a dress that irons well or less likely to crease is a safe bet. In keeping with an island wedding theme, sarongs, tea length dresses, or short wedding dresses lend themselves really well. A train that is extended is not advisable when the wedding location is outdoors, but a shorter version is acceptable.

Colored Island wedding dress or colored detailing

Tropical island statements are made by colored wedding dresses, as opposed to the more conventional white or ivory, which are still very good color choices for island wedding dresses. Color adds character and island charm is infused into the ceremony, and as such any color can work well with an island setting wedding. For those brides who prefer otherwise, a few details of the wedding details can be in color, such as appliqués, embroidery, some piping, or sash, can be in color. This finer detailing will hint at color, without overwhelming the senses.

As a tribute to the stunningly beautiful nature of island weddings, quite a number of the well respected designers in the wedding dress industry have entire lines of island wedding dresses. The style of dress can range from spaghetti straps, strapless, and halter necks, to A-line, empire waist, cut out low back, and full skirts.

Island wedding dress accessories

Island wedding dresses have to be paired with the appropriate footwear, as traditional pumps are not practical in sand. As a consequence, sandals, which are elegant and simple, will work well with wedding gowns. One strap sandals are particularly recommended. Flip-flops, adorned with flowers that are hand painted, jewels, or shells are a popular choice of island wedding dress footwear, as are barefoot sandals. These are jewelry that embellishes the top of a bride's feet, at the same time leave the soles of her feet bare. Adornments may include flowers, rhinestones, and pearls.

Jewelry should be kept simple, as a simple rule. A lone gold chain, pearl earrings, is normally adequate. Fans, be they of straw or white elegant paper, can also adorn an island wedding bride, as well as parasols can. Brides retain a feminine look with parasols draped off the shoulders. A hair ornament will add romance to any island wedding, with a tiara, jeweled comb, or flowers completing the ensemble.

Spring-Summer Dresses

Women have a wide variety of spring and summer dresses that invite them to emphasize their femininity. Not only can you incorporate classic dresses in neutral colors like a shirtdress or a wrap dress, you can also adventure yourself to wear dresses with geometric, abstracts, ethnic and floral prints.

Here are some tips on which dress is the right figure for you:

- Shirtdresses and Wrap around dresses are made practically for every type of woman.

- For a cocktail party or a night out, you can choose a trapeze or a Blouson dress, these look elegant with high stilettos and an oversized clutch.

- Wide hip women should not wear dresses with pockets.

- Strapless dresses are ideal for women with moderate breasts and a smaller back. V-neck dresses are favorable for women with small breasts, while an imperial style dress helps make big breasts appear smaller.

- A baby doll and a blouson dress have a nice flow that sits well to almost every lady.

- Halter dresses help distract attention from the hips and create a more proportionate figure.

- Mini dresses look great with long sexy legs; they stand out the inferior part of your body and create the illusion of a rounder bottom. This effect can also be obtained with a ruffle dress.

Choosing the right color is also an important factor, bright colors like blues, hot pinks and greens are preferred for spring and summer; yellow and orange are also on the top of the list, but can ultimately be seen more in accessories like bags and flat shoes.

Your Cheap Wedding Bouquet

By Suzanne Daykin

Your cheap wedding bouquet could easily end up being very expensive, flowers cost a fortune especially if you have your heart set on a particular color or flower and you may have to write a blank cheque if you have chosen an out of season flower!

There is an alternative and that is looking at artificial flowers, don't think cheap and plastic, artificial flowers have come a long way since the sixties! The new age silk flowers (or cotton/polyester blend) can look stunning, manufacturers use real flowers to create the look and spend a fortune on getting the color just right. This does mean that when you first look at this alternative for your bouquet the price can be the same as real, in some cases more!

Where you save money is shopping around for the best price, look at the resell value of all your flowers - check out online auctions and if you were looking to preserve your bouquet you have saved yourself that cost. The best artificial flowers seem to be online or in florist shops, craft shop's artificial flowers tend to look a bit tacky but still worth a look as they could have a great buyer for their store

Other practical advantages are if you have hayfever or a pollen allergy or if you are having a destination wedding all of your flowers could be made up and taken out with you. This could save you a big headache when you arrive as you don't want to be panicking about the flowers and where you could get them. Plus if it is a hot climate some flowers can wilt very quickly, silk flowers will last the day and beyond. Helping you have the perfect location and your dream flowers.

Don't just think cheap wedding bouquet you could have silk flowers for button holes and if silk flowers are not your thing you could have a very sparkly bouquet made of silver wire and crystals, if you wrapped the stems with ribbon it would look stunning. Most craft and gift stores have these already to be used as a display in your home and you could use it for that after!
