Visit Milano Sposi and plan a perfect wedding

Posted on by

Milano Sposi, one of the most important fairs in Italy dedicated to the world of wedding, takes place in the Mediolanum Forum of Assago, near Milan.

Although the institution of marriage seems to have lost its importance in the last few years, there are still many couples that wish to get married and that hope to do that in the best possible way, planning a perfect ceremony and taking care of each detail, from placeholders at the restaurant to the honey moon.

Milano Sposi, the fair dedicated to the brides and grooms and to the day that should be the most beautiful day of their lives, is meant to provide the couple with all the instruments and ideas to plan the perfect wedding, the furnishing of the house and so on. An event that keeps achieving success although the institution of marriage is losing its importance, as highlighted by the data regarding the number of celebrated weddings in the last few years: while in 1994 over 290.000 weddings took place in Italy, in 2008 the couples that decided to get married were less than 250.000. Nonetheless the pavilions of Milano Sposi are always full of couples who visit the stalls looking for an original idea for the dress, for the hairdo of the bride and so on.

Among all the fairs dedicated to this field that have been organized in the last few years Milano Sposi stands out for “seniority”, for a wide and variegated offer and for an established reputation, which turn it into one of the most appreciated fairs dedicated to weddings in the north of Italy and in Switzerland. Milano Sposi is being held for the 34th time in 2010, and it still has those features that have accompanied it throughout its long history: variety and quality of the products and services that are offered, the perfect combination of tradition and originality and un unmatchable capacity to welcome visitors, making them feel at ease. The visitors of the fair, indeed, do not only have the possibility to visit the many stalls trying to grab information, “steal” original ideas and get in touch with specialized companies, they can also enjoy many other advantages: every night, from the 7th to the 10th of October (these are the days when the 34th fair will take place), visitors will have the chance to enjoy a free happy hour, while during the day some professional hair-stylists and make-up artists, used to work in the showbiz and fashion, will be at the brides-to-be disposal to give them precious tips about the make-up and hairdo to choose for the wedding day. A consulting service for stars, and whats more it is free!

Visiting the fair the grooms and brides-to-be really feel pampered, but the primary purpose of those who visit the fair is understanding how to plan each detail of a perfect ceremony. In this sense Milano Sposi is the ideal place: many sectors are represented, from dresses to the location for the reception, from photocalls to original gifts for the guests, from flower decorations to make-up and hairdo, from the entertainment to the wedding planner, from the catering to the car to rent and so on. And this is not all: the fair organizers have dealt also with what there is after the ceremony: the honey moon, with many travel agencies, but also the new house of the couple, with many stall dedicated to furniture.

A History Of The Snapback Hat

Posted on by

Snapback hats have made a huge comeback in recent years. But none more than in 2011 where even major sporting goods stores have been selling hats from manufacturers claiming original snapback hat. Snapback hats are now on the fashion scene and as mentioned above, the racks at major retailers across the country.

Snapback History
The history of the snapback hat is sparse at the moment. However, there are indications of a version of the snapback hat being around in the late 1800s because of the non-uniform and wide array of hats used during baseball games. Early examples of hat styles included straw hats, boating caps, cycling hats, jockey caps and military headgear.

The Brooklyn Excelsiors first wore the baseball cap as we know it today and introduced it as part of an official uniform during the 1849 season. Fitted caps and snapback hats were both worn over the years in baseball as teams had the opportunity to change their look from year to year. It is unclear when uniformity across the league came to be stable.

The prominent hat-maker in the early 1900s came to the owners of the Chicago Cubs in 1946 and sold the club on selling fans the same baseball caps the players wore on the field. Although the owners did not immediately buy into this concept, after the first and second runs of the baseball hats sold out immediately, the ground-work was laid for all Major League baseball and National Football League teams to sell official gear to fans.

Fashionable Snapback Hats
The athletic team-hat has taken many forms over the years from fitted, to crushed, to snapback, and mesh-back. The recent surge in snapback hats doesnt seem to have an origin except maybe the perpetual ceremonial hat (flat-billed out of the box and snapback) given to players at major sporting championship trophy presentations.

The original snapback hat maker started selling high fashion snapbacks in the late 80s and controlled most of the more popular designs. Music icons such as Tupac Shakur, DrDre, Ice Cube and other hip-hop and rap musicians made snapback hats soar in popularity by wearing them in music videos, promotional pictures, concerts, and movies such as Poetic Justice and Boyz n the Hood.

Vintage Snapback Hats
Many original MLB snapback, NFL snapback, and NBA snapback hats have been brought back by manufacturers. The blockhead snapback, big block snapback, headline snapback, and nineties snapback styles are very popular. A snap steez snapback hat company will sell authentic vintage snapback hats from the 80s and 90s and also be able to find any snapback hat for which you might be looking.
