7 RED HOT ‘Must Haves’ for the IJORERE Val Bride!
When I think of Valentine’s Day 7 thoughts comes to mind:
1. Red
2. Love
3. Pink
4. Hearts & Kisses
5. Sugar & Sweets
6. February
7. Romance
Believe it or NOT, sources say Valentine day dates back since 496 A.D! February is my favorite month, but that’s perhaps because it happens to also be my birthday month! ;-
An IJORERE bride goes for nothing short of extraordinary & always finishes her day off with a POP!
Here are 7 RED HOT ‘Must Haves’ for the IJORERE Val Bride
1. WEAR RED SHOES & RED LIP STICK …GO HOT & SULTRY VINTAGE!.
2. BE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT! THAT’S WHAT SETS AN IJORERE BRIDE FROM THE REST ACCENT YOUR RED’S WITH OTHER ROMANTIC COLORS LIKE PURPLE, TURQUOISE & ‘THE NEW RED’… ORANGE!
3. Of course, You must have red sweets & chocolate “kisses” for wedding favors. For quick bites at the wedding cocktail or reception, pair red wine with fruits in the red family like, strawberries (A NATURAL APHRODISIAC!) to get your guests in “The mood for Love”
4. SEAL YOUR WEDDING STATIONERY ENVELOPES WITH ROUGE KISSES …VERY SEXY!
5. Comment mon amour Je t’aime! The language of French is known as one of the most romantic languages of love. Use French words on your wedding stationery and highlight the words “Love” in Red. Your guest may not know how to translate…but they’ll what it means!
6. Greet your friends and family with a Kiss! Don’t just hug or shake their hands. At the wedding reception, make it a must to give them a Kiss. Very romantic!
7. Make it an evening event! Nighttime ambiance is UUuh la! la! So much more romantic than day time!
