Why Third Party Administrators (TPA’s) Use Independent Review Organizations (IROs)

Monday, March 31st, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Skip_Freedman] Skip Freedman In today’s competitive health care environment, third party administrators (TPAs) turn to Independent Review Organizations (IROs) to assure fast and cost effective claims decision making on the most expensive and complex treatments for the patients they are administering benefits to. Third party administrators lack fundamental medical decision making thats required to successfully administer health care benefits. Many TPAs have a part-time medical director. The director may be part time or come into the office for an hour or two a week to look at the most difficult treatments. But for TPAs administering patient populations of any size, it’s difficult for a part-time medical director to keep up with the workflow necessary to adjudicate claims quickly and cost effectively. In order to solve this problem, many third party administrators are turning to Independent Review Organizations (IROs). TPAs can easily send questionable cases requiring special medical knowledge to their IRO outsourcing partner for speedy decision making, knowing that each member getting fair, objective and unbiased attention. Third party administrators that use IROs get high speed decision making, lower costs for adjudicating complex claims and meeting regulatory compliance for any approval or denial of benefits. Many third party administrators use IROs not only to look at their most complex cases but also to provide fractional medical director services. AllMed has several clients who not only use us to do independent medical reviews but also use our medical director staff to attend regular utilization review meetings and claims adjudication meetings as a part of the TPA staff function. TPAs that use IROs this way greatly benefit from having a strong, integrated working relationship with the medical staff that only an IRO can provide cost effectively.

Mairi

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

By Juliana Johnson Mairi came into my life about two years ago. She came from Arizona with a cheap trailer, four kids from three different fathers, and a seriously negative attitude. We met on a frosty October afternoon and with my Victorian upbringing, I developed a seriously negative attitude toward her. However, as time went on and I matured, we evolved from wary strangers into polite acquaintances then into comfortable friends Her trip from Arizona was fraught with headaches which dont have anything to do with the story so well ignore them. She moved into a Wisconsin trailer park with a house made for 80 weather and her last electric bill was almost as much as all of my utilities put together. Since she had no money and no income other than public assistance, she became dependent on her father, Edison. Edison lives about 100 miles from her. And since everything was going wrong with the trailer, Edison spent many hours and dollars fixing things. Actually fixing just about everything. Like the doors, the windows, the plumbing, the heater, the furniture and sometimes the kids. Kids are 12 year old Stone, 10 year old Amaryllis, 5 year old Zoey and Fritz, the baby at 2. Stone and Amaryllis were fathered by her first and only husband who whiled away his time drinking, drugging and mishandling the family. Zoeys father, Manny, plays a large role in Mairis life now, but at the time of his childs birth, took off and left them. Little Fritzs father is now in jail. So Mairi didnt have any support, paternal or financial, bringing up the kids. Surprisingly enough, except for a few mild instances of running away, tearing up the house, starting fires, lying, stealing and cheating, the kids are pretty good. They behave well in restaurants, which has always been my idea of the ultimate test, and theyre very loving. To me, at least. And their grandpa. And uncles. Mairi has two brothers, Joker and Brick, who affectionately consider her an idiot or in more forgiving times, a ditz. She gets excellent advice from her father and brothers which, if she had to pay for it, would cost her a couple of her kids. Giving up an arm and a leg would make life difficult. Unfortunately, she knows best and anyway marches to her own drummer. For instance. Prior to moving to Arizona to live near her best friend, April, Edison pleaded with her not to go because she would be all alone if anything clouded her relationship with April. She claimed all would be well because April was her best friend and theyd help each other babysitting, drinking coffee, eating cookies together and generally reenacting the Brady Bunch. About two months later April stole money from Mairi and accused her of sleeping with her husband. Apparently, she never accused her husband of sleeping with Mairi, though. She then stole Mairis truck and hid it from her. That was about the first time Mairi thought that maybe her father had some sense. Not a lot, perhaps, but some. Then there was the matter of moving the trailer. In her more financially comfortable days, Mairi bought a lot in Arizona and put the trailer on it. She built a fence completely surrounding the property, had drainage ditches dug, ran gas, electric and phone lines in and made herself a very nice nest. When the love affair with April fell apart and Mairi decided her best bet was to move to Wisconsin, she contacted a realtor by telephone to sell her lot. She never met with the realtor nor did she give the woman any instructions other than sell it. Well, as they say, out of sight, out of mind. Mairi moved and realtor Wanda forgot all about her. Why bother with a $2,000 commission?. Edison kept after her to make contact with Wanda to see what was happening but Mairi, not unlike most of us, doesnt like confrontation so she creatively came up with one excuse after another. Its now been 18 months and still little has happened. To be fair, though, she did get a new realtor assigned to her property but Jill isnt anymore interested than Wanda. Manny reentered her life a few months ago. He has a bit of a rap sheet, severe credit problems, no job and bad teeth. Bless him, though, he treats all of the kids as though they were his own. Management by screaming. Well, Manny, after much nagging from Edison, has found himself a good job but, his past is catching up with him and he has problems with his taxes and the court system meaning that hell have to take time off from his new job to perform community service and visit the IRS. Do you think the new job will sit still for him? But Mairi is happy hes there, nonetheless, albeit its a little crowded with six people in an 800 square foot house. Mairi was suffering from endometriosis and had a hysterectomy several months ago. She claims her doctor, Dumi, is a first class nitwit, quack and charlatan. Two months after the original surgery and after undergoing three more surgeries because Dumi didnt sew her up right, shes finally healing and reflecting. She wonders how much it would cost to put a contract out on Dumi. I wonder how much it would cost to put a contract out on Dumi. Mairis beat up truck was uninsured but she drove it from Arizona anyway because shes always had good luck driving and been in very few accidents. Edison bought her car insurance and the following week, a nice big Lexus rear ended her. Unfortunately, Manni was in the truck and the police checked his ID and arrested him. Apparently, he was still wanted in upstate Wisconsin for something or other and he spent the night in jail until Edison and Brick bailed him out. Nonetheless, it has been an exciting adventure knowing Mairi and because I will soon become her stepmother, she and I will be together for a long time. I cant wait to see what else she gets herself and us -involved in. (Names have been changed to protect the guilty) Ann O. Nimus knows some fascinating people and loves to tell tales of them. Juliana Johnson is a good listener and tries to write her stories.

Non-Invasive Options to Lipo

Friday, March 28th, 2008

By Ricardo Silva Most people skip over the fact that any type of surgery is invasive, including plastic surgery. If invasive surgery concerns you, there are non-invasive options to lipo. Non-Invasive Options to Lipo Plastic surgery has become very popular in the last 30 years or so, and more and more you see items in the news and specials on TV regarding the benefits of having cosmetic surgery done. One of the most popular surgeries performed by plastic surgeons is liposuction, which removes unwanted fat from areas of your body. You might be tempted by what seems to be an easy way to lose weight, but there are options available to you. Two of the most important options are dieting and exercise. No doubt that statement just met with a groan, but it should not. You should try eating right and using targeted exercise to rid yourself of your problem areas. The human body does not have the ability to rid itself of fat selectively, but the overall impact of exercise and diet on your body can be seen fairly quickly. Diet will also help to create an atmosphere within your body that is conducive to losing weight, and therefore, losing fat. Muscle gain, in particular, will speed up your metabolism, which burns more calories through the day. Diet pills, which hope to promote your body’s own weight loss abilities can be effective in some cases as well. It’s important to note, however, that drugs with lipo in the name will not work on targeted areas the way that the procedure does. Remember, many solutions on the market have not been approved by the FDA. Other options include spa treatments such as seaweed wraps and cellulite massages, which promise to help break up fat cells and remove them from your body. Unfortunately, most of these techniques are not proven to work, and if they do show some ability to make your body look better, it is short-lived. Doctors are also working on a theory that ultrasound waves can break up the fat cells under your skin, and then your body will be able to reabsorb the cells within three weeks. Doctors who are working with the ultrasound option believe that they will be far less damaging to the tissues in the body than invasive procedures. This, obviously, would represent a medical revolution and be very popular with many of us. Many people pay lip service to the fact that any surgical procedure, including liposuction, is invasive. You should seriously consider the fact that any surgery carries risks. If that scares you, diet and exercise are probably the way to go.

Prepaid Cell Phone Plans

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dennis_Driscoll]Dennis Driscoll Choosing Prepaid Cell Phone Plans Prepaid cell phone plans are a great to keep mobile communication at your fingertips for a relatively low cost every month. Also, prepaid cell phone plans are great for kids who are just getting their first cell phone. Prepaid cell phone plans present the parent an opportunity to teach the child about budgeting their money. With a prepaid cell phone plan you could allow your child a set amount of minutes per month, and once they are gone you will not have to purchase more minutes until the following month. This would help make your child aware of the limits on your budget. Prepaid cell phone plans are available from most service providers and should be shopped carefully. Prepaid cell phone plans can be purchased for a relatively low price and usually offer benefits of decreased per minute charge by purchasing more minutes . You should be able to find a company advertising a prepaid cell phone plan for somewhere around $100 including the cell phone. Many prepaid cell phone plans will also include rebates, a starter card with a certain amount of minutes on it already. One of the things to look out for when purchasing a prepaid cell phone plans is minimum billing amount, the best one is held in 6 seconds billing. I you call someone and they do not answer, many prepaid cell phone plans will charge you a 3 minute minimum billing fee. This could use up your set amount of minutes quickly. Try to be careful when you purchase your prepaid cell phone plan as many companies also charge a high activation fee. Shopping around and seeking out competition is the best way to make sure you will be happy with your prepaid cell phone plan. Another advantage of deciding to go with a prepaid cell phone plan is that you do not have to make any commitment to a company. With a traditional plan, you need to sign a contract. But with prepaid cell phone plans, all you need to do is buy the phone, and then use up your minutes. When all of your minutes are used up, you can buy additional ones from the place that you bought the phone, or seek out one the many different companies that offer prepaid cell phone plans. I cannot stress enough about the activation fee. This is the fee that the service provider charges to activate your phone. The cost varies by provider. Make sure you read all of the small print on the package before purchasing. This will help to avoid any mistakes such as missing out on an activation fee, or finding out that you have to buy a certain amount of minutes up front to secure the rebates. Prepaid cell phone plans can be a great way to save money, especially if you do not want to get caught up in a contract. With more and more companies coming out with prepaid cell phone plans, prices are going to stay competitive. So take your time and check out the competition and do not get sucked into a fancy free phone. With all of the prepaid cell phone plans available today you should be able to get a great rate and a free phone you are happy with. Prepaid cell phone plans can be a good choice over a contractual plan. Good luck and smart shopping.

Why Most People Do Not Believe in Evolution

Monday, March 24th, 2008

By Lance Winslow There are many folks who do not believe in evolution. When you ask them why they say that people did not evolve from animals or apes and that is impossible. They say well then smarty pants how did all the water get on Earth if God did not put it here? Well the answer really is quite simple you see animals evolved in groupings and well the Comets of ice could easily have delivered water. Of course is not good enough for them and they will witness to you. That is where they tell you why they believe in God and how God changed their life. They will say something like, well I was near death and God saved me or something like this or I was an alcoholic or some such thing with a dead end life and God saved me? They might say I lost my job and lost a loved one and god helped me through it. Well I say to these young men who claim such things that; I have been around the block too, like any other person and found myself respected by the others who got rained on too and made it through and you do not need an invisible friend as crutch to win. If you use such you might win, but you will not have the inner strength of character that many you criticize do. Personally I do not need the assistance of another or a hallucination to help me cope. And to all my born again friends out there; really your life is a piece of cake compared to what I have challenged myself to overcome. Anything you have done, came from you, if you tricked yourself into believing it came from somewhere else that is your choice glad it worked for you, but you are miss interpreting what happened. Pain, sorrow, joy and laughter is all part of life, you do not need a god to go thru your life experience and still get all that and more. “Lance Winslow” - Online Think Tank forum board.

Mortgage Marketing, 5 Tips to Live By

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

By Jay Conners For those of you working in the mortgage industry it is very important to keep your mortgage marketing activities in your daily activities. Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind. Some may seem obvious. But please read on, they come with a fresh new outlook and revisiting the basics once in a while never hurt anyone. 1. Business Cards It is very important to market yourself via business cards. You should be making a conscious effort to hand out ten per day at the very least.Have them on you at all times, and keep a supply in your car just in case.When doing business with someone, dont give them just one business card, give them two, and ask them to refer someone to you. 2. Mailers and Reminders Keep a tickler file handy on all of your customers birthdays, kids birthdays, and anniversaries. Send them a card to wish them well on their special occasion. They wont be expecting it, making them all the more appreciative, it also keeps you in their thoughts, reminding them that they know a mortgage specialist that they can refer should the topic ever arise. It also gives you a reason to send out more business cards and keep them circulating.Remember, the average home owner refinances, or purchases on average every three years, so it is important to stay in front of your customer. 3. Phone Numbers Giving your phone number to your customer seems obvious, but it is equally important to give them your cellular phone number as well as your work number, and let them know that they can feel free to call you at any time, this will personalize the relationship you have with your customer and give them a comfort zone where they feel as though they can really trust you. 4. Become Active Become active in local organizations and charities, here are a few examples: Chamber of Commerce Rotary Lions Club Networking Groups Church Local Youth Athletic Associations 5. Apparel Wear your companys logo, It doesnt hurt to have a few polos or dress shirts in your wardrobe with your company logo on it for attending special events or just going out to lunch, lets face it, its free advertising, and it shows that you take pride in the company that you work for. To sum it all up, you basically want to keep your name and your face in front of prospective customers. When they need a mortgage product you want them to think of you and you only.

The Hourglass Dress

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

By Jan I. Phillips Once upon a time, in a land not far from here, there was a king who had a dream. In this dream, he saw the image of a woman in an hourglass dress, so tiny at the waist he could wrap his hands around her and his fingers would touch. I must find this woman whose waist I can span with both of my hands for that is the sign of the truest beauty, the king proclaimed when he awoke. Quick! Fetch the dressmaker to make this dress and I will offer jewels and riches and a place in my palace to any woman who can wear the dress. Word went out throughout the land that the king was seeking women with an hourglass shape to live in his palace and surround him with beauty. From the north and south and east and west, thousands and thousands of women flocked to the palace, eager to be called beautiful and to share in the riches the king was offering. But alas, not one could fit in the dress. For they were hardy women who had worked in the fields, tended the animals, given birth to children, raised families, and eaten enough to be strong and healthy. Each was beautiful in her own way, but none had a waist tiny enough to fit in the hourglass dress. The king was growing weary with the search for the perfect woman, so he ordered the dressmakers in all the lands to make nothing but these hourglass dresses. We must teach them early, before its too late, said the king in his panic to get control. He ordered tiny dolls with hourglass figures for all the young girls to learn about beauty and tend to their shapes from an early age. Before long people everywhere thought of beauty as an hourglass shape. They said good things about women who had it and bad things about women who didnt. To avoid being shamed by being too large, many women began to starve themselves. They became weaker and weaker in body and spirit, and spent most of their time minding their shape so they could fit into the kings special dress. Men tried to help the women achieve this hourglass shape for now they only wanted women who looked like this. They made undergarments that pushed womens flesh from one place to another. Women laced themselves into stiff corsets that were shaped like the dress, but it was hard to breathe and move about. They bought expensive potions that falsely promised to dull their appetites. And doctors operated on one after another, removing ribs, making some parts bigger and some parts smaller. For the sake of this beauty dreamed up by the king, women sacrificed greatly and taught their daughters to do the same. Some even died. And back at the palace, women were still coming from miles around. Millions and millions tried on the dress, and millions and millions didnt fit. They left the palace feeling bad and sad that they were not the right shape and not beautiful at all. In the end, after all the attempts to squeeze into the dress, only thirteen women accomplished this feat. And these thirteen moved into the palace where the king showered them with jewels and gifts and paraded them for all to admire. Days turned into months, and each day was much like the last. They started to feel bored and were always hungry. And they worked very hard to keep their hourglass shapes, running up and down the palace steps to work off the small bit of food that they ate. One day it came to pass as they were eating their tiny portions of carrots and celery and leaves of green lettuce with nothing on it, that one of the thirteen spoke out, Im sick of this! Whats so great about this hourglass shape if its all I ever get to think about? The king says that only those who fit the dress are beautiful, but when I look about at the other women, I find beauty there no matter what their size. I find beauty in their sturdiness and strength, in every curve and muscle, in their tender eyes and loving hands. I even see beauty in the wrinkles in their faces. Where did this notion of beauty come from anywayfrom one kings dream? No, real beauty is bigger than that. Real beauty is big enough to hold us all. Hmmm… muttered the others, nodding their heads. Shes right. Before the kings dream, we all thought we were beautiful just as we were, said one. We were happier then, too. And we ate what we wanted. And we were strong, said another.And free, another added. And we had fun, and danced and played. We had real things to talk about and real things to do. But we didnt have these jewels, nor the kings attention, nor these fine clothes, whispered another. True, said another, but has it made you happy to put your whole mind on the shape of your waist and eat nothing but morsels and run upstairs and downstairs hour after hour? I guess not. The more they talked, the more they learned from each others stories. No one had been happy starving herself. Each had longed for the days when she could eat what she wanted and not be judged for the size of her waist. And each lived in fear of outgrowing the dress and being cast shamefully out of the palace. Their talking made them feel brave and less alone. Their pain lessened when they shared their stories and their strength and resolve grew and grew until the day arrived they decided to leave. No! shouted the king when they revealed their plan. After all Ive done for you, you cannot leave me! It is only your beauty that feeds my soul. If its real beauty you hunger for, they said, then look again at the people around you with eyes that go deeper than flesh and form. Look at their faces, the spark in their eyes, the joy in their movement, the kindness and love they share with each otherthat, my king, is real beauty. And so it was the thirteen women left the palace, returning to their homes, far and wide. They convened circles, large and small, to share what they knew about real beauty and warn all people that a waist is a terrible thing to mind.

Great Relationships: 4 Big Relationship Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

By Jeff Herring Relationship Mistake No. 1 - Partner Bashing Bashing the one you are supposed to love seems to have become a national pastime. You know the saying: “Can’t live with `em, can’t shoot `em.” It’s really amazing - one person in a group can start in, and then everyone else wants to top their story or complaint. The reality is that partner bashing reflects poorly on you, because after all, you chose this person. Relationship Tip: Rebel against the culture and praise your spouse in public. When someone tries to pull you into the game, go the opposite way. You will shock a few people, and if it gets back to your partner, it’s great foreplay. Relationship Mistake No. 2 - Be a Darren Stevens It’s hard to believe, I know, but many people fall into the trap of holding their partner back from using their greatest gifts. In the old TV sitcom “Bewitched,” Darren Stevens would try to keep Samantha from using her abilities. I remember thinking as a kid that this guy was an idiot. All that his wife had to do was wiggle her nose and he could have anything he wanted, and he wanted to stop her. Sounds crazy, but we do it all the time in relationships. Relationship Tip: Celebrate and encourage the strengths of your partner. If you take the time to notice, the strengths of your partner usually have two very strong advantages: The strengths of your partner complement your strengths, and the strengths of your partner compensate for some of your weaknesses. When you combine the two sets of strengths, you are stronger together than you are alone. Relationship Mistake No. 3 - Argue to Win Arguing to win means you see the other person as an opponent. And once you begin to see your partner as an opponent or an enemy, lots of bad things begin to happen. I recently worked with a couple who would go to any length to win an argument even over little meaningless things, like there was a tally board somewhere keeping score. And they wonder why the relationship is falling apart. Relationship Tip: When you argue to win, you may get to win, but you win at the expense of the relationship. Instead of arguing against each other, team up to solve the problems that come your way. In my experience, when a couple teams up against a problem, that problem is in big trouble. Relationship Mistake No. 4 - Getting Complacent Taking the relationship and the other person for granted is so easy to do. Sometimes we treat our most important love relationship like an item on a to-do list - “OK, got that done, cross it off.” Do you know anyone who would enjoy being an item on a to-do list? Relationship Tip: Here’s a great story about not taking someone for granted. A high school senior was taking his girlfriend of three years to the senior prom. Since they had been dating for three years, you would think it would be a given that they were going to the prom together. Not this guy. He arranged the following with her parents: One night when she came in the front door, there was a trail of Hershey kisses leading back to the bathroom. In the bathroom, there were rose petals spread all over the shower, and then another trail of Hershey kisses leading to her bedroom. On her dresser was this note: “Now that I have kissed the ground you walk on and showered you with roses, will you go to the prom with me?” Think she said yes? You may not have to use candy and flowers, but take the creativity and passion here and see what you can come up with for your relationship. My challenge to you is to use these relationship tips to avoid four of the biggest relationship mistakes.

Need Loan but Have Poor Credit: Go for Loans for People with Poor Credit

Monday, March 17th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Steve_C_Clark]Steve C Clark What is Loans for People with Poor Credit Though many reasons are possible, common are either blacklisted or poor financial background and low market rating, which depends on any failure on repayment of other borrowed finance (note that credit card to mortgages, all are taken in account), or any debt settlement, or utility bills. There is your credit report which is nothing but records of your financial status and other infrastructure reports. Through these reports lenders make the view whether to lend you or not. Loans for people with poor credit also tells about your repayment capabilities, either you had made past payments on scheduled time or not etc. bankruptcy declaration, delayed payments, county court judgments, decrees etc make your credit ratings poor. Sometimes due to some technical or manual mistakes you may be bad credited in the report though you is not. In order to avoid it you should regularly have its copies and go through it properly. Any contradiction found should immediately be eradicated by presenting related documents and proofs. Different types of loans for people with poor credit: Auto Loans: Many lenders have this package for bad credit holders. But as the risk factor is high so interest rates are certain high. Other lender specified requirements may also be there.Some helpful ways may be that either get a copy of your any recent good credit score or reduce any unpaid debt or have any co-signer with good credit history or find out specifically a lender with bad credit holders only. Personal Loans: You can use personal loans in any manner like need of car, home, repair, debt consolidation etc. Two plans are available Secured loans: Borrower puts his any asset as guarantee, n if he delays or defaults the repayment lender can have the asset sell it. Unsecured loans: No guarantee is required. The interest rate is relatively higher. However in case of default in repayment lender can lawfully claim to the property. Loans for People with Poor Credit: Terms and Conditions: As the risk factor involved with loans for people with poor credit is certainly high, you are asked for certain extra requirements as compared to the good credit holders. Documents like employment information, asset details, and credit checks are requested. Even some can ask for a cosigner or say guarantor with good credit rating. On an average, interest rate varies from7.4% APR to 27.60% APR. What makes the rate variable is the credit rating of the customer. A person with good credit is sort of worry-free in financial terms. Certain easy steps are to be taken to achieve it. Well maintained saving or checking account can establish your bank relationship. In loans for people with poor credit, scores can further be improved by taking small loans from the bank and repay them as soon as possible within he assured time. As the field of loan for people with poor credit is a competitive one, we have several lenders providing the facility. Select one which best suits you. Make a budget and firmly stick to it. Note that all expenses and income including hidden charges, maintenance, insurance, etc are being taken care of. Monthly installments should be properly planned and it should be certain.

2006 Wedding Trends

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

By Emily Tanner What’s hot and what’s not for those tying the knot this year? The biggest words of the season are ribbons and lace. No, you don’t need to look like an 80’s throwback but somewhere in your plans you must include ribbons and lace to keep up with modern trends. Designer wedding dresses have been paraded up and down the catwalk absolutely dripping with ribbons. These maybe around the waist, under the bust or trailing from the train. Some quirkier designers have also used ribbons in hair up styles. Of course, unless you are a model, you could look a bit silly on your big day if you go to these lengths. Wedding dress trends can look dated very quickly and if you want to look back at your pictures without being horrified go for something more subtle. A great way to use ribbons successfully is to incorporate them in your bouquet and other floral decorations. If you have a large frame or are short, trailing ribbons from your bouquet will add length making you look taller and slimmer. Team colours of your ribbons with those on favour boxes to ensure consistency. You could also choose wedding stationery and place cards that have ribbons on them to add to the idea. Young bridesmaids can carry off trends better than older ones, so don’t be afraid to give them a hairstyle that includes lots of ribbon. For older bridesmaids, perhaps choose co-ordinating ribbons and tie them to dorothy bags or drawstring pouches. If you’re a super sexy bride [and blessed with great legs] why not choose bridal shoes with ribbon that you can lace up around your ankles? And, if you want something trendy that’s for his eyes only, go for a few ribbons on your garter. Guaranteed to impress your groom!!! Of course, on a more traditional note, lace is the big thing this season too. Beware though, because if you don’t get it right, you could look like you’ve just stepped out of a charity shop. The key - as with any bridal gown - is in the shape. The material plays a big part, but if you get the shape right, you can carry off any material you want. If you don’t want to go for a completely lace dress, why not keep up with the trends with lace gloves, a lace train or a lace veil? Team the romantic theme with classical flowers and favours and you’re onto a winner. Again, if you only want to give the suggestion of lace, choose bridesmaid dresses with lace ties. Ensure the men aren’t left out and get them to sport lace handkerchiefs in their top pockets - if you dare. Don’t be left looking frumpy this year - be the bride with her finger firmly on the pulse and ensure you incorporate ribbons and/or lace somewhere in your plans!
