Dais:
The head wedding table where bride and groom are seated.

Dais Flowers: A flower arrangement at the head table that usually hangs over the front of the table.

Damask: This is a linen or fabric with raised patterns woven into it.

Deckle Edge: An uneven, feathery edge on a piece of paper is called a deckle edge. This edge is most commonly found on parchment invitations; however, other papers may also have deckle edges and will be noted in descriptions.

Decolletage Neckline: A deep, plunging neckline that reveals the cleavage.

Destination wedding: Any place, from an island resort to the Las Vegas strip, where the happy couple can have ceremony, reception and honeymoon in one convenient location.

Detachable train: An extension of fabric that attaches to the wedding gown to make a trailing extension of the gown. It can then be detached at the reception to avoid bustling the dress.

Die Cutting: The process of using sharp metal blades to cut shapes and designs into paper. Die-cutting includes cutout shapes and sculpted edges.

Digestif: An after dinner drink such as cognac or Cointreau.

Digitization: The process by which the video editors transfers your wedding day video footage into the computer editing system.

DJ Booth: A sectioned area for the DJ to "spin" (or play) the music of choice. While the DJ should be informed well in advance of the event of the type of music preferred for dining and dancing, guests can be allowed to approach the DJ booth to make song requests.

Dolman Sleeve:  Joined with the bodice above the elbow.  Fullness tapers down to a fitted forearm.

Dotted Swiss: A method of decorating the wedding cake which involves small random dots of icing.

Double Tiered Veil: A two layered veil. Usually, one layer will be longer than the other.

Dowels: Wooden sticks inserted straight down into the cake to secure the integrity of the cake layers and sculpture as one unit. Before serving, the dowels are often removed.

Dowry: A gift; endowment. The money, goods, or estate, which a woman brings to her husband in marriage.

Dragees Round: Edible and brightly colored balls of sugar seen on wedding cakes.

Drop Waist:  A good waistline to help add height, this straight waistline falls 3 to 5 inches below the natural waist.

Duchesse: Lace with floral designs using a lot of raised work with irregularly shaped spaces between designs.

Duchess Satin: A low luster satin with medium body. An elegant construction that is resistant to wrinkles and is machine washable. Available in polyester.

Dupioni: Typically 100% silk, this fabric is woven will fibers of varying thickness. It has a slubbed or rough finish with a slight sheen. It does have a tendency to wrinkle. Technically, it is a silk yarn reeled from double cocoons or two adjacent cocoons in which silk is intertwined. Shantung is a similar, lighter weight fabric.

DVD: The term for Digital Versatile Disc. A DVD allows you to jump to any portion of your wedding video, which the videographer or editor may separate into ‘chapters’ for your easy navigating.

DVE Digital Video Effect: This term refers to the special effects that a video editor may use to enhance your wedding video. Some examples are strobe, page turns, slow-motion, letterbox, black-and-white and sepia footage.
