Create a Divine Wedding Theme Yourself

July 28, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Are you looking for the perfect wedding theme? Theme weddings are fun and interesting. For the do-it-yourself bride, the wedding theme is the inspiration for every decorative decision. Look for themes in books, magazine, and online. Don’t just stick to wedding decor, you may find something you love in other departments. Once you have figured out your wedding theme, begin to collect the perfect pieces to the puzzle.

Begin by pulling pictures out of magazines. Having a picture to reference is the easiest way to explain to the florist and coordinators. Decorative inspiration is everywhere. You never know when you will have an opportunity to find something perfect for your wedding. Carry color swatches or trims in your purse and use them to match the theme.

Do-it-yourself wedding supplies are key for the planner on a budget. Check online and in craft stores for the perfect materials. Get organized with a workbook. Achieve the unique wedding reception decorations you always wanted with a wedding workbook. You can find great ideas for place settings, centerpieces, and floral arrangements. With a little imagination, a wedding workbook can be your perfect tool for creating a divine wedding on a budget.

The most important thing is organization from start to finish. Create a notebook with prices and phone numbers to keep track of all the details. Staying organized with some type of file or folder will save your sanity.

Top wedding themes Suggestions

Here are some popular wedding themes. Even if none of them grabs you, getting an idea of what you don’t want can be a useful exercise in itself.

Medieval wedding. Scroll-style invitations, a sumptuous banquet and a castle-shaped cake – this theme has the makings of a wedding to remember! Costumes should not be too difficult to come by if you want your guests to look the part.

Winter wonderland wedding. Twinkling fairy lights, a velvet-cloaked bride, and white blooms tied with silver ribbon – a winter wedding can have a drama and appeal all of its own.

Seaside-themed wedding. The sea holds a unique fascination for many people. Shells, sand and pebbles can all be used to good effect in table centres and other decorations, while sticks of personalised seaside rock make fantastic favours!

1920s-themed wedding. An Art Deco-style venue, a jazz band, flapper dresses and cocktails can help to recreate the fun-loving spirit of the 1920s.

1940s-themed wedding. Big-band entertainment, a vintage satin gown and a Champagne fountain are just some of the ingredients of a wedding inspired by the 1940s.

Arabian Nights wedding. Think belly dancers, jewel-coloured fabric draped across the walls and ceiling, platters of Middle Eastern food, and chocolate-coin favours. What fun!

Japanese-themed wedding. A red-and-black colour scheme, bonsai trees as centrepieces, and sushi or noodles on the menu are just a few of the ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Las Vegas-themed wedding. A mobile casino, an Elvis impersonator, elaborate cocktails and glitzy lighting will set the scene for an over-the-top wedding that gets everyone all shook up.

Butterfly-themed wedding. More subtle than hearts or flowers but just as romantic, butterflies are a popular and stylish wedding motif. From invitations to favours, and decorations to placecards, you should have no trouble sourcing products to fit in with this pretty wedding theme.

Football-themed wedding. Football stadiums are increasingly popular as wedding venues but if this is a bit out of your league you can still create a footie-themed occasion to remember. Use your team’s colours for your décor, name your tables after favourite players, and have the bride throw a football instead of her bouquet!

Wedding day stress can be overwhelming. You have worked for months to plan a perfect day. Most likely, a couple things will go wrong. As the bride, you can only do so much up until the day of the wedding. Find a friend or a professional planner to help with the day of arrangements. If something comes up, they can handle it for you. Hand over all the responsibilities so you can enjoy your day stress-free.

Practical Wedding Gifts

June 18, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

There are so many things to think about when shopping for wedding gifts. You must consider what you think is a wonderful wedding gift versus what the happy couple will think. Most young couples getting married are just starting out while also beginning a new life together. There are two types of wedding gifts out there – the kind that will really stick with the couple throughout their life together and the kind that no couple needs. When shopping for wedding gifts, you need to decide which type of gift you want to give.

Some of the best wedding gifts are the most practical ones. Practical gifts are gifts that any engaged couple will need. These gifts will prove to be useful for years and years, help the couple to become more frugal, save time, save money, and help the couple build a richer relationship by doing things for themselves and together. Practical wedding gifts range from a good cookbook and crock pot to a nice complete tool set or even cash that the couple can put toward a down payment on a home or car.

Practical wedding gifts really are the best gifts that you can give a couple. While the practicality may take away from the romantic appeal of some gifts, such gifts will keep on giving. For example, investing in a really good set of high quality pots and pans that will last a lifetime is an excellent wedding gift. Not only will the couple use the pots and pans almost everyday, they may find a new love together by spending time in the kitchen together over the years.

One very practical, yet very infrequent, wedding gift is the bridal tool kit. The bridal tool kit is an excellent idea for a newly married couple who will be moving into a new house together. This tool kit should include all the basic tools needed for everyday use within a happy home. Such tools would include a hammer, an assortment of nails, a flashlight, a screwdriver set, a few pliers, a wrench, duct tape, picture hangers, crazy glue, and electrical fuses. Maybe even throw in a few light bulbs.

Another very practical wedding gift, one that is more commonplace than a tool kit, is to be a sponsor for the couple. This type of gifting works best if you are in a good financial situation or if you have discussed the possibility of sharing the cost with several other people. However, sponsoring part of the wedding, honeymoon, or new house would be an invaluable gift for the couple (or their respective parents). Everyone knows just how expensive a wedding, honeymoon, or home can cost! This is a practical gift that would be remembered for the rest of the couple’s life together and one that would truly be appreciated. Your sponsorship could come in the form of cash, hosting a party, picking up the bill for the wedding night hotel room, or even by providing the champagne or wine for the reception.

Exploring The Different Types of Bath Wedding Favors

June 17, 2010 By admin 13 Comments

Bath and soap wedding favors come in many different types, shapes, colors and scents. A bath or soap favor can be luxurious and soothing; and is a great favor for bridal showers, baby showers, bridal luncheons, and even wedding favors. When shopping for bath favors you may not know what the difference between the types of bath favors that are available. Let’s explore the most common of the types of bath favors available on the market today.

Bath Fizzers or Bath Bombs

Bath bombs are more commonly known in the favor market as bath fizzers; however both terms can be used interchangeably. When placed in water the bath fizzer dissolves and effervesces and in some cases adds color, scent and / or other materials into the water. Bath fizzers are normally composed of sodium bicarbonate (or another soluble carbonate) and citric acid (or other organic acid) which creates the fizzing effect when the solid reacts with the water. Bath fizzers usually are a single use shaped tablet or ball. Many fizzers contain soothing elements (such as a scent) and may also contain a cleaning agent (such as sea salt). Many say that the fizzing, bubbling action of fizzers is both tickling and relaxing. There are many exciting bath favor shapes on the market today including wedding cakes, fortune cookies, flowers, shells, and starfish.

Bath Salts

Bath salts are very beneficial as they can be composed of various minerals depending on the origin of them. Bath salts are normally crystalline in composition and a little scoop can go a long way. Bath salts normally dissolve completely in water and change the composition of the water so that the longer a bather soaks – they are less likely to prune or wrinkle. Bath salts soften the water and can condition the skin leaving a silky feeling. Depending on the manufacturer, bath salts can be scented and/or colored as well.

Bath Powder

Bath powder is similar in mineral composition to bath salts and contains the same therapeutic properties. However, bath salts are not crystalline, but rather a fine powder and dissolve much more easily when placed in water.

Bath Pearls or Bath Caviar

Bath pearls are also known as bath caviar. These bath beads are sure to provide a luxurious and indulging bath-time experience. Drop a handful into the tub to release the wonderful aroma and skin-soothing moisturizers as they dissolve.

Bath Confetti

Bath confetti is a paper thin soluble solid bubble bath. When you sprinkle confetti under warm running water the confetti will foam, dissolve and release a scent into the bath. Alternatively, you can sprinkle the confetti on top of the water to enjoy the confetti before it dissolves. This method will not produce foam but will make the bath scented and soft.

Flower Petal Soaps / Rose Petal Soaps

Wafer thin flower petals look just like their real flower counterparts. They can be sprinkled into the bath to create a wonderful floral scent, or can be used as single use soap.

Whatever bath favors you select for your guests, they will appreciate a luxurious relaxing bath after your event. Bath favors are suitable for all ages (including children over 3 – kids love fun bath time!) and are a wonderful treat.

Decoration Options for Your Wedding Ceremony Entrance

June 16, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

The chances are that you have given some thought to the decorations you would like inside your wedding ceremony location, such as altar flowers and pew decorations. Often overlooked, however, is the entrance to the church or other ceremony site. Just like your bridal gown is not complete without the right wedding jewelry, your ceremony decorations are incomplete without some adornment on the front door. These are some wonderful ideas on how to decorate the ceremony entrance to make a fabulous first impression.

When your guests first arrive at your wedding location, it is great if the outside of the building gives some hint as to the celebration taking place within. A classic decoration for church doors is to hang a wreath on the outside. If they are double doors, use a pair of wreaths. Wreaths are great, because there are so many different styles in which you can make them. Use classic boxwood for an elegant and restrained wreath, perhaps adorned with a large silver bow. Or make a more flowery wreath, using a mixture of greens and your wedding flowers. Wreaths can get very fancy too; if you were having a Winter Wonderland theme wedding and wearing a lot of sparkly crystal jewelry, you could create a crystal studded wreath. The possibilities are virtually endless!

Another lovely way to decorate your ceremony entrance is with a garland over the door. This works beautifully for any shape or size of door, and can be used in addition to wreaths, or by itself. Garlands can take many forms. Most of us are familiar with the pine garlands used at Christmas, but there are also garland designs which would be perfect for a wedding outside of the holiday season. Pretty greens with flowers look lovely at any time of the year. For an evening wedding, wrap the garland with tiny white lights to illuminate the entrance. Large magnolia leaves make a dramatic garland with a Southern flair. Accent with pretty ribbons in your wedding colors.

Potted topiary will add an elegant style to any wedding ceremony entry way. The classic round balls are very pretty for any formal wedding. Tie a bow under the first ball on the topiary to make it more festive. A great look can be created by combining a few different topiary forms, such as the round balls, cones, and tall twisted topiary. As the style tends to be rather formal, topiary look best when displayed in very balanced groups or even perfectly symmetrical pairs. This would be an excellent choice to adorn the entrance of a grand old stone mansion.

Don’t think that entrance decorations are only for churches or fancy mansions. A rustic barn wedding can be dressed up with the addition of natural elements like bundles of wheat standing on either side of the front door. (Wheat can also be used to create wreaths or garlands, if you wish.) As barn interiors can tend to be dark, another great idea is to suspend a mass of floating candles in tiny clear globes over the entryway. This is a wonderful addition that will sure to make your guests feel very welcome.

There are many, many other gorgeous ways to decorate the entrance of your wedding ceremony site. You could suspend kissing balls (very romantic!), set out large garden urns of flowers, or line the steps with luminaries. By giving some attention to the front door of your ceremony location, you will really make a wonderful first impression on your wedding guests.

Wedding Themes for the Seasons

June 15, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Deciding how to organize the style of your wedding theme can be one of the hardest decisions. Want a tip? Use the date of your wedding to inspire your creativity. Each seasons brings an image of color and style. Choose which seasons suit’s the needs of your gown and décor.

Autumn Theme
Typically, Autumn weather tends to be on the cool side. The summer flowers have begun to disappear, but the Fall colors of nature have taken their place. Earth tones and textures will definitely set the tone for your wedding. By incorporating ‘warmer’ colors and textures into this wedding theme, you’re creating a inviting environment for your bridal party and guests.

Embrace Autumn colors, such as: brown, rust, copper, red, terra cotta, and gold. You can easily arrange tables in a ‘harvest theme’ with fruits and candles bearing typical Fall Colors. Set each place card on a large leaf shaped fabric napkin. Decorate the reception hall with a rustic look. Dried wheat, berries, and grasses can make an excellent touch. Serve foods that are simple and ‘warm’ in nature. Fruits, soups, cheeses, home-made bread, seasonal vegetables, and pumpkin pie should delight your guests.

Winter Theme
Although most couples opt to have their weddings in warmer weather, winter weddings can be very elegant and appealing. This festive time of year embraces warmth and the glowing lights of candles. It’s a very romantic time that emphasizes the idea of togetherness.

Silver and gold are very traditional winter colors. They blend very well together and can be beautifully incorporated into your wedding decorations. Instead of red roses, why not choose a bouquet of white roses? This will look especially spectacular if you have a hint of silver and/or gold in your wedding accessories.

Create an ambient environment with candles and white Christmas lights. Break tradition! Instead of having a white wedding cake, Get a three tiered chocolate wedding cake accented with white décor.

Spring Theme
Spring is an exciting time of year to get married. The world is alive and about again after a long hibernation. The morning dew and the smell of rain is refreshing and romantic. Pastel colors sprout from the earth, as we start to smell the faint aroma of tulips and daffodils. These flowers would work perfectly in your Spring wedding theme.

Pastel colors are soft, subtle, and elegant. You can decorate your tables with small potted daffodils and use flower-seeds as a wedding favor for your guests. Candles and ivy can bring a warm ‘garden feel’ to the atmosphere.

Summer Theme
It’s the most popular time of year for couples to tie the knot. Summer weather brings the promise of gorgeous flowers, comfortable attire, and delicious foods from mother nature.

Decorate with bright colors. Why not organize a tropical wedding? Spice it up and dress your bridesmaids in lime, orange, or hot pink. Forget about tuxedos for the men, how about bright colors for shirts and comfortable suits?

Salads, vegetables, pink champagne, and light foods are the way to go for your meal. You should always offer your guests something slightly more extravagant for the main course, but these light dishes have a ‘summer feel’ to them.

A Tradition Of Giving Wedding Gifts

June 14, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

A long standing tradition at weddings is a gift given by the bride and the groom. A popular say about gifts that its better to give than to receive might not be agreed to by a newly wedded couple who probably received some of the nicest gifts ever on their wedding day..

The purpose of giving Wedding Gifts to wedding guests is to show your appreciation. A specially picked out Gift shows that you put thought and consideration into the gift. Including a personalized note with the gift or personalizing the gift itself to thank the person for whatever role he or she played in the wedding is certainly a nice touch that shows extremely good taste and thoughtfulness. The Wedding Gifts need not be very expensive so as to break your wedding budget but should be well thought out and consider the personal taste and likes and dislikes of the person on the receiving end of the gift. Also the packaging and presentation goes a long way in showing how much you care and appreciate the people in your life.

So who should be at the receiving end of the Gift by the bride and the groom? Members of the wedding party have always topped that list, which includes almost everybody, the best man, maid or matron of honor, bridesmaids, ushers, groomsmen, junior bridesmaids, flower girls and ring bearers.

Although it is not mandatory, but it is a nice gesture for the bride and the groom to give gifts to each other. These days both the bride and the groom include each set of parents on the gift giving list. It is also a nice gesture to give a gift to someone who did something special during the occasion for instance someone who did a special reading at the ceremony or to step in for the bride’s father and walk the bride down the aisle. It is good taste to give gifts to acknowledge the contribution these people made and include them in gift giving.

Gifts should be purchased about four weeks prior to the wedding date, which will give you enough time to have them engraved and to create personalization messages etc.

To help the gifts make an even greater impression on the recipient, take special care in packaging the gifts. Use tasteful wrapping paper and embellishments using colors that complement the wedding colors. The best time to give your gifts is during the rehearsal dinner as it is intimate and the people to whom you’re giving the gifts are all present at the occasion.

Last but not least need some gift ideas? Well first check your wedding budget to see how much you have allocated to this category. You have more than likely spent quite a bit of your money by this stage, so it is important to take a realistic look at the your remaining budget.

Brides typically give each member of the bridal party a piece of jewelry or a hair accessory that can be worn on the wedding day. Other gift ideas include bud vases, picture frames, bath oils, a collectible item or a gift basket.

The men in the wedding party like to receive engraved pens, pocket watches, cigars, business card holders, clocks for their desk, or key chains. For the parents, a professional wedding photo in an engraved frame is perfect or a personalized letter detailing your appreciation. For each other, anything that conveys your love and devotion is ideal.

The tradition of giving wedding gifts makes the wedding day more special and personal for every couple and it will be alive for as long as there are weddings in one way or another.

Choosing The Right Florist For Your Wedding

June 11, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

How to choose the right florist for your wedding

The business of planning a wedding is full of the unknown. Although most brides have dreamed about their wedding day for years, when it comes to the actual planning, the details become a blur.

Being able to depend on the professionals you hire to help and guide you through the process is the most important part of the planning. After all, we do this all the time ! We have the resources and the knowledge of what will work, what is in style and what details have to be covered. The most important thing that the wedding professional can give you is the comfort of knowing that we will take care of your needs and will be available to answer your questions and put you at ease.

When hiring a florist be sure to keep these key elements in mind:

Positive Initial Contact: You must feel the comfort that this person will be professional, talented, flexible and accessible. Too often, a bride will focus first on the financial side. I believe this is a mistake because it is hard to determine what you are actually getting for your money while shopping for florists. If a florist is easy to communicate with, we will try to read your wishes and interpret those wishes to the designs that best fit your style. Flexibility allows us to adjust the look to fit the budget.

Drop-Dead Gorgeous Samples: Looking at photographs of the florists work, asking about their professional affiliations and feeling that they have passion for wedding work will help you establish their credibility. Not all good florists like to do weddings. Wedding florists must love the emotional highs and lows that the family experiences and be willing and able to provide balance and comfort when the fear or uncertainty comes into play.

Extensive Knowledge of Available Flowers: There are written guides to determining what elements need attention and your florist will be familiar with the locations you choose to help you decide what will work the best. Certain flowers are not available at all times of the year so this needs to be taken into consideration. Feel free to ask plenty of questions about why your florist is recommending a specific structure or container. Focus on color and the unity of the flowers.

The most important component to accomplishing your dream is to have strong communication with your florist. Feel confident that your interests are the most important feature of the communication and trust that you are in good hands with a passionate floral professional.

Wedding Themes :: Tiffany Blue Theme

June 9, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

The Tiffany blue wedding theme has been growing in popularity since about 2000 and has been used by many celebrities during their weddings. For example, Toni Braxton was one of the first people to really use the Tiffany blue idea in her wedding. The Tiffany blue name for a wedding theme is used along with robin egg blue or a light pale blue colour theme. When people first think about a Tiffany blue wedding they think of the famous jewellery store that gives a feeling of elegance and extravagance.

If you want to have everything at your wedding to follow this theme then you yourself, as the bride, can have the colours of tiffany in your flowers or you can have tiffany colours pinned to your attire. If you do not want to add anything to your dress then you can use the tiffany colours as accent colours in your jewellery and shoes. This goes the same for the groom; a blue boutonniere can be added to go with the tiffany theme.

When decorating for your reception you can choose tiffany blue china patterns and serving ware. This theme can even be extended in your food as it can be tinted with tiffany blue food colouring and you can even ask the caterers to serve foods that go with the blue theme such as blue cheese.  For wedding and party gifts you can give your guests a copy of the famous novel reakfast at Tiffany?or you may choose to give a box of candies with the box of course being blue.

To make the tiffany wedding theme go even further you can order the Tiffany stationary on which you will print your invitations and have them hand delivered. This can also be used for your thank you cards as well. Using light blue printer paper for addition notes and maps can finish the invitation. When going with this theme for a wedding it is possible to go over board and it is important that you keep your use of blues under control.  For example when choosing your flowers it is nice to get some of them in the tiffany colour scheme but you should combine this with other colours that keep the blue from being overpowering. Choosing an outdoor location for your wedding is also a good idea to keep the use of blue under control. The natural colours in the environment will complement the blues that you are using.

When choosing your cake you must think of the theme that you are using. For example you will want to choose a square layer cake that will resemble gift boxes. Then to finish off the theme of the wedding the cake layers will be wrapped in the signature colour. You can surround your wedding cake with beautiful blue flowers as well.

Blue is the central color of a Tiffany wedding, and it would be an elegant touch to have the bridesmaids dressed in blue. You can limit the favors and include some blue colors in your decorations, but if you overdo it, the colour will overshadow the wedding and you don’t want this to happen.

Wedding Gift Monetary :: Giving the Right Amount

June 8, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

When it comes to wedding gifts, how much to spend on a wedding gift is determined by the following factors: where the wedding will be held, your budget as a wedding guest, and your relationship with the bride and/or groom. If the wedding is a destination wedding, only a bridal shower gift is usually deemed proper because there is a larger cost for each person attending the wedding. If the wedding is local it is often deemed proper etiquette to bring a gift to the bridal shower as well as give a wedding gift.

When attending a wedding either as part of the wedding party or as a friend of the family, you should decide your appropriate wedding gift spend. If you have been invited to be a bridesmaid for an out of town wedding, you should first tally up your costs and then decide what is an appropriate wedding gift spend.

These costs could easily amount to $500 dollars or more, broken down into $200 traveling expenses and $300 for the bridesmaid dress. Adding another $100 for the wedding gift monetary amount would bring your total expenses to $600.

Some people believe it is proper etiquette to spend about the same monetary amount on the wedding gift as the bride and groom paid for the reception on a per head basis. There are two very strong schools of thought on this approach. Some people really believe that this is the most appropriate way to gauge how much to spend on the wedding gifts, while others believe it should depend completely on how well the wedding guest knows the bride or groom and how much the person can afford to spend.

Where a person lives can also dictate how much a person should spend on a wedding gift. In some areas of the country the weddings tend to be more formal and would in turn require a more expensive gift, especially if the person is not also attending the bridal shower. If someone lives in an area where the wedding would be less formal the popular belief is that a smaller amount spent on wedding gifts would be appropriate.

Most people today have a gift registry set up to let their attendants know exactly what they would like for their home or a fund to which they would like their guests to contribute. Also, because many people live together before they are actually married the need for gifts for the home is often less than the need for cash gifts.

Many couples actually prefer to receive money either to save for a big-ticket item for their home, a new home, or even a special honeymoon they’d like to take.
