The Happy Wedding

After the hoopla of the holidays have passed and everyone has settled into the New Year can be a perfect time for your wedding. A fun or formal wedding might be just what friends and family need to pull them out of the winter doldrums.

Wedding invitations
Anything goes with you January wedding invitations. Draw on winter themes with crystal icicles or beautiful snowflakes. Your invitation should be the first hint at your theme, so pick something that you and your fiancé will love. Opt for a formal invitation with black, white and a touch of red or keep it whimsical and fun with snowmen.

You might want to consider getting your wedding invitations in the mail earlier rather than later. If your wedding is later in the month, you don’t want your invitation to get lost or caught up with the deluge of Christmas and holiday cards. This might be another reason to skip the winter themes and make your invitation stand out from the rest of the mail from this time of year.

Ceremony and reception
January offers many brides a chance to reduce costs and increase availability. Since a majority of venues and vendors are busiest during the summer months with brides and December with holiday parties, January can be a lull for most. Take advantage of lower off-season costs with vendors. And capitalize on lots of open weekends in January for your perfect – and efficient – wedding.

Your January wedding menu should include warm and hearty selections but steer clear of any holiday favorites. Your guests may have just enjoyed a month’s worth of holiday delights. Try a stuffed chicken breast for something different and delicious. Instead of a wedding cake, maybe cupcakes are in order?

At the bar, celebrate your wedding and brand New Year with champagne and champagne cocktails. Add the bubbly to orange juice or cranberry juice for delicious treats. Peach puree can make a tasty Bellini. And, of course, the classic champagne cocktail includes the sparkling wine, sugar and bitters. A champagne glass just might be the perfect touch for your wedding invitations and wedding favors, too. You’ll probably want to have some warm drinks handy, too. A coffee bar with flavored coffee, hot chocolate and cider and be a big hit in the cold weather.

Take the winter out of your January wedding
If you’re just plain sick of the winter, consider a totally different theme for your January wedding. A tropical theme will warm up your guests just fine. Add some Hawaiian décor and menu items and you’ll have a wedding luau in no-time. Or opt for a patriotic theme and celebrate like it’s the 4th of July. Turn your menu into a picnic and you’ll be feeling the summer warmth at your January wedding. Either of these themes can warm up your wedding invitations, too.

Take advantage of all that January has to offer and make your wedding memorable. Why fight with the June and July brides when you can have a great wedding and perhaps even save some money in the process.

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to plan my outside wedding and reception. It wasn’t as expensive as an indoor wedding would have been. Having the natural beauty of the outdoors saved us a lot of money on decorations. The first thing I had to do was to find the perfect location to have our summer wedding and reception. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I was surprised at all the parks available for weddings.

I wasn’t really sure where to start, so I shopped around for some much needed suggestions. I found out you need to have a plan B, in case inclement weather unexpectly arises. It’s a good idea to have a tent ready to continue your ceremony if it becomes necessary.

We had canopies arranged for our reception and barring bad weather, planned to be wed under a lovely trellis. I only had to get decorations for my bridal table and the reception tables for our friends and family. About all I needed were a extra flowers and my table settings, thanks to the already present beauty of the park. I thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. The only way you could tell that the flowers were artificial, was by touch, they were beautiful. Although planning wasn’t as difficult a chore as I thought, there were quite a few things to take care of. Summer weddings are spectacular, but the sun can turn your beautiful wedding cake into a gooey pool of confection.

As far as table décor, I found so many fantastic accessories for our reception. Each of our guest had a park bench place card holder and the centerpieces were flowers arranged around a glass globe with citronella votive candles inside. The chrome bottle openers we bought for our guests were packaged in beautiful favors boxes and given out as summer wedding favors. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

While shopping for my wedding accessories I saw this topper and couldn’t resist it. They were customized toppers for the wedding couple. They put our faces on our cake topper, and all I had to do was send them a photo of me and my fiance. Talk about the best wedding keepsake you can get. Our friends and family were really loved the cake topper and gave us a lot of compliments on it. All the wonderful accessories I ordered for our reception and wedding ceremony came from the same place, including our champagne flutes and silver cake set. It’s unbelievable all the lovely accessories you can purchase from you computer.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. The weather cooperated and we never had to go to plan “B” with the tents. We all loved the super DJ and the fantastic job he was doing, and if I’m right, he probably kept the music and dancing going on for quite a while after we left to go on our honeymoon. A lot of good things were said about our wedding ceremony and everyone said they had a fantastic time at the reception. The park turned out to be the perfect place to have our wedding and reception. If we should decide somewhere down the line to have a renewal wedding ceremony, I think I’d like to have it in the park again.

Memories of your wedding day will stay in your mind forever; that is how important an occasion it is. Because of that, you will definitely want to look your very best on this momentous day of your life. Crucial to looking your best are the wedding preparations, the actual dress, the ring, and the Wedding Jewellery.

Don’t rush into purchasing jewelry for weddings even if it’s a wedding ring. Especially, jewellery wedding rings have to be selected with a lot of care, as you will wear your wedding ring forever. But what kind of jewellery should you wear on your special day?

Be conservative

If you are having a traditional wedding, you can decide to wear some unique Wedding Jewellery, such as designer diamond rings, diamond earrings, matching bracelets and pendants. Crystal jewellery and pearl wedding jewellery are worth giving a try as well.

It is a bit dicey to get the balance right if your dress is the sort of elegant creation that you would get for a modern wedding. You might want to contrast and soften the contemporary look of your dress by opting for traditional jewellery. You can select your gold engagement ring (if you have one) or jewellery like pearls.

Be unconventional

Some people would go for more fantasy rather than deciding on a traditional white wedding. Pearls and diamonds will probably not be used if your unconventional wedding is planned around a funky urban brunch or a medieval banquet style. A good idea that would simply look gorgeous is to select colored jewellery with better genuine gems or simulated stones.

Be like the celebrities

You could try to do it like celebrities if your budget is slightly bigger. Dresses from fashion designers like John Galliano are available depending on your budget. Your wedding can be like a celebrity wedding as long as you go for well-coordinated designer Wedding Jewellery. Pearl bridal jewellery is the best to make the bride look fabulous.

Match your dress and your jewellery

It is important for the bride to look her best on her wedding day as she is the belle of the ball on that special occasion. Her wedding dress will be complemented by her bridal jewellery if chosen tastefully and worn properly. This will make her look as radiant and as beautiful as any bride ought to be.

Your gold engagement and jewellery wedding rings are the most important pieces of jewellery on your wedding day. Simple but stylish-looking wedding bands are a choice for most couples.

The most wonderful experience of every human being is wedding, the day when two souls are united. Every bride dreams to look the most beautiful woman on the earth on her day. The aura and beauty of the bride is added to by the wedding jewellery.

It is the trip of a lifetime. The one moment you have imagined, pictured and dreamt about since you were a child. Now that the moment is upon you, you start to realize that making your dreams a reality is a little harder than you first imagine. It is important to get everything you want but you need to take a few things into consideration and especially, shop around for the best prices. In the following you will find some tips and hints to finding the best deal for your honeymoon.

First, take advantage of the internet and all it has to offer. There are more and more price comparison websites popping up each day that will take care of most of the research for you. While it is possible to receive an abundance of information from one website, do not settle down right away. Shop around and compare prices on your own as well as through these price comparison websites. Online travel agents are in business because it is their job to find the best possible prices and you are advised to take advantage of this as much as possible.

As much as you can benefit from online travel agents, it is still advised that you head in to see your local travel agent in person. Often times, meeting face to face with someone allows you to better explain your needs and budget. With online packages and agents are becoming increasingly popular, retail travel agents are being forced to come up with even more competitive prices and packages than ever before. Visit a few, sit down and see what they offer. Sometimes if you take in a quote from an online retailer, your local travel agent may meet or even beat the price.

Package, package, package; this seems to be the new it phrase in terms of travel. When booking your honeymoon you need to find the available package deals that will include your hotel and your flight. This can often cut your overall price in half and make booking a lot more convenient.

Straying from the beaten path can be a major plus when looking for the best deal for honeymoon. If you are trying to stick to a low budget, then look away from the usual, overprice and overbooked honeymoon vacations. Look into some less popular destinations that can still offer you the perfect romantic honeymoon and maybe even a more romantic, personal experience. Look into traveling to a smaller lesser known island, and you could save a lot of money over the inflated prices aimed at tourists.

These are just a few examples of simple yet efficient ways to cut down the cost of your honeymoon and find the best vacation that suits your desires and your budget. Do not stick to one plan or one travel agent. Research all your options, educate yourself as much as possible and think outside the box.

How to choose the right wedding invitation

Your special day is coming up, and you are feeling the pre-wedding jitters — there is so much to do. Hopefully, you have the support of your family and closest friends — they can carry some of the load, but you, too, have your own sizable burden to bear.  You have to choose your dress, pick a location for the wedding and reception, create a guest list, and pick out the perfect wedding invitation design that will capture the romance, and uniqueness, of your special day.  There is a lot on your plate, but choosing a wedding invitation does not have to be a stressful event.

There are a few ways to go about choosing wedding invitations for your wedding day — you can go the cheap-o, economical route, where you purchase pre-made wedding invitations with designs ranging from plain-Jane to extravagant, you can create your own wedding invitations by hand, or you can  custom-order invitations that match your style, mood, and wedding perfectly.  While there are a few variations within these three general areas — these are the most common wedding invitation choices.

The economical wedding invitation is usually reserved for those who are on a tight budget, who do not have a lot of time to spend on the invitations themselves, or who really don’t care, one way or another, what their invitations look like.  Using a store-purchased wedding invitation set may also be a good idea if you have hundreds of guests.  Just because a wedding invitation set is economical, does not mean that it will be “ugly” or take away from the specialness of your day — these invitations may not convey the romance of your once-in-a-lifetime event, but they can do the job, nonetheless.

Handmade invitations, or DIY invitations, are very special, and convey sentiments that cannot be expressed through a common wedding invitation.  However, as creating invitations by hand can take a long time, these are not recommended for those with a large wedding guest-list.  For small, personal weddings, or for very close family members, they can be very fitting and even appreciated.

The custom-order or luxury wedding invitation is well suited for no-expense-spared weddings, smaller weddings, or for guests of honor who you are inviting to your ceremony.  These types of invitations can match the look, feel, and even color theme of your wedding, while offering a special keepsake for your most prized attendees. 

Preparing for your wedding can be burdensome enough, and weighing out your choices for the perfect wedding invitation set should not add to the load.  One thing to remember, though — even if you, or your soon-to-be significant other, are indifferent toward the design of your wedding invitation, this does not mean that your closest friends and family feel the same way.  For some, your wedding invitation is a memento that your loved ones will keep for years to come.  Even if you’re trying to plan a budget-conscious wedding, try to provide your closest friends and family with a special gift — a special invitation — that at least partially conveys what they mean to you.   This is just one small way that you can thank your loved ones for everything that they have done for you.

When a couple is newlywed, the last thing they want to think about is final arrangements for their first days together and many honeymoon resorts take the worry about arrangements out of the picture, with all-inclusive deals. Travel arrangements can be included in the deals offered by several companies so the worry about getting to the honeymoon destination, is also taken out of the trip following the wedding.

Travel to honeymoon resorts can be an exciting time in newlyweds lives, as their focus is on their recent wedding and their future life together. When planned appropriately, the only things on their mind when they reach the destination is, checking in, looking forward to their time together and to get to know each other better on a more personal level. Newlyweds also watch and observe how each other interacts with their new spouse in a variety of situations.

While there are numerous ideas concerning the origins of the term honeymoon, as well as the tradition of newlyweds, when traveling for a honeymoon one popular theory is that it began when men and women often eloped and traveled to distant, secluded spots in order to hide from their families and others who were not in favor of their marriage. Today, honeymoon resorts cater to the newly weds, whether it is a far-off distant or a destination close to their home, the time is meant to be together in solitude and in an exotic and intimate atmosphere.

Some believe the term is lunar related, with weddings and trips taken between the time of main planting and harvest, when the first of the honey crop was ready for gathering. Others contend it has to do with the time of the year when the sun is low in the horizon, shining through the atmosphere offering the color of honey. Many of the honeymoon resorts have special rooms for the newlyweds, with decorative colors relating to the honeymoon.

There are honeymoon resorts offering simple accommodations such as a room with motel facilities open to guests and other that offer the chance to spend time in a secluded bungalow away from the rest of the guests. Access to motel amenities is typically through private passages to insure the couple has the privacy they expect when they travel to their honeymoon.

To limit the amount of travel on their wedding night, some honeymoon resorts offer wedding services on the premises along with the reception following. In these cases the weddings are usually small with a select number of guests traveling with the bride and groom to the honeymoon resorts and leaving once the reception ends. The newlyweds of course, will stay and enjoy their honeymoon. Typically, these arrangements are available in traditional vacation spots.

There is literally a world of choices when it comes to planning and going on a honeymoon. There are different packages designed specifically for the newlywed couple who want to spend their post wedding vacation in a romantic setting that will leave them with nothing but wonderful memories. The first thing you have to do is decide where you want to go for your honeymoon and what type of travel plans that will entail. Most places you travel to will have resorts that have all inclusive honeymoon packages that will appeal to a variety of interests.

One thing to remember when booking a honeymoon package is that most of the essentials such as food, lodging, certain activities and entertainment are included in the overall price. In some cases travel expenses such as air fair and transportation via shuttle to and from the airport to the resort are part of the vacation package. All this type of information should be found either in the brochure for the resorts you are interested in or right online on the website. If you have questions about what is included in an all inclusive package call the customer service department and ask, they will be more than happy to help answer any questions you have.

At first glance an all inclusive honeymoon can seem a bit expensive but the thing to remember is this is a one time cost and includes just about everything you will need to have a romantic and stress free honeymoon. In fact if you were to add up all the costs associated with going to the same destination and paying for things like meals, snacks, alcoholic beverages, activities, lodging, and local transportation chances are a package deal will probably save you money.

The one down side to an all inclusive honeymoon is eating at the same restaurants and being stuck with the same entertainment options everyday. You can leave the resort and explore the surrounding areas but be aware that this type of activity will cost extra so you will need to bring along extra money for excursions outside of the already paid for  all inclusive resort options.

Probably the easiest way to decide if an all inclusive honeymoon package is a good choice for you and your spouse is deciding what you want out of your post wedding trip. If you want to spend your time exploring the local countryside and experiencing all that your destination has to offer then an all inclusive resort may not be for you. If, on the other hand, you just want to kick back, relax, and have all your wants, needs, and activities taken care of then all inclusive may be the perfect choice for your honeymoon.

More often than not, booking a honeymoon takes a backseat to planning your wedding, but don’t let it be an afterthought. After tireless months of planning, this is your chance to finally relax and spend some alone-time with your new hubby. With some careful planning, your honeymoon will be equally as memorable as the wedding itself.

The first step in planning your honeymoon should be to sit down with your beau and discuss what type of vacation you’d like to embark on. Do you see the two of you soaking up the sun in a tropical locale, venturing on an African safari, exploring a bustling city, or simply shacking up in a remote location with nothing but a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door? Here’s a rundown of the top honeymoon destinations to help determine which getaway best suits your interests:

Beach Bums

If you fall asleep every night to a stress-relief CD of gentle ocean waves playing in the background, perhaps a tropical retreat is in order. A vacation to the beach can be as secluded as a private-island sanctuary or as interactive as an all-inclusive couples resort. Choosing a remote location gives you the flexibility to do it all or nothing at all-spend the day snorkeling around a coral reef, escape to an intimate location for a romantic picnic, or simply sprawl out in the sand and enjoy each other’s company. If you are social butterflies, flock to an all-inclusive resort to mingle with other newlyweds while engaging in a little friendly beach volleyball or obstacle course competition. Either way, a few steamy nights in a tropical location are sure to ignite romance.

Adventure Fanatics

You don’t have to be a seasoned globetrotter like Bear Grylls to crave a little excitement in your lives. Pack your bags and head for the hills…or the jungle…or the rainforest…or wherever your adventuresome hearts desire Newlyweds looking to take a walk on the wild side on their honeymoon have a world of options, from an African safari or trip down the Nile River to a cross-country excursion with nothing but your backpacks and a map. Exploring new places together will help to strengthen your relationship and fuel your libido.

Relaxation Addicts

What better way to unwind after a whirlwind of planning than with a soothing couple’s massage? If an invigorating yoga class and a therapeutic mud mask are part of your daily regimens, perhaps a trip to a wellness spa is the perfect remedy to rejuvenate your spirits and relax your souls. Take a leisurely hike through the mountains, treat yourselves to a couple’s massage, then dine on a wholesome meal of fresh organic cuisine over candlelight. Start your life together the right way with honeymoon travel that’s soothing to the soul.

Two if by Sea

Can’t decide between adventure or relaxation? Why not have it all? Cruise ships give you the luxury of limitless on-board activities and the convenience of being transported to an exotic location. Sip margaritas while lounging on the deck between buffet lines and gambling, then jump ship at your destination and steal a moment away on the beach with your sweetie.

City Trekkers

For couples always on the go, a vacation to a new city presents endless opportunities for entertainment. Brush up on the city’s history prior to your visit and map out some must-see sites. Quench your thirst for knowledge with a visit to an area museum; discover the local art and music scene together; savor delectable cuisine and wine by candlelight at a renowned restaurant; or satisfy your need for excitement with a night out on the town. A trip to the city can be as exciting or relaxing as you desire.

Incurable Romantics

Hopeless love birds may opt to spend a honeymoon in total seclusion. Flee to a cottage on the beach or a cabin in the woods and spend nights cooking a romantic dinner together after watching the sun set. Turn off your cell phones, unplug the TV, and escape to an exclusive locale where your only agenda is to spend some one-on-one time with your hubby.

Choosing a wedding dress is probably one of the most time consuming and difficult things for a bride to do. There are so many styles to choose from that it can be quite overwhelming. When you break it all down, there are basically 5 choices, the A-Line or Princess, Empire, Column, Ball Gown and Mermaid.

A-Line or Princess Style

This is a great dress that is suitable for most body types. The way the dress is made gives the impression of height and is good for the bride who wishes to look taller. The cut also helps to make the bride look slimmer which is a bonus. The style means that there is a full skirt and the whole dress is very versatile. It accentuates the best bits of your body and hides the others!

Empire

This is a very good dress again for most body types but especially good for those women with a smaller bust or those with a larger bust. This is because the dress brings the focus of attention to around the neckline. With some jewellery here, the effect is increased and the neckline becomes the centre of attention.

Column

The column style dress is quite well fitting and is more suitable for the slimmer lady. It is not the most forgiving so if you have body areas that are perhaps a little larger than you are happy with, this dress will not do well to hid it. Due to the hugging nature of the dress, it will make the bride look taller, the downside is that it can be a little harder to move in!

Ball Gown

This style of dress is good for the slimmer bride and also for those who do not wish to show off the leg area too much. The way the dress fans out at the bottom does not show off the legs at all but the centre of focus if at the upper half of the body. This style is also probably not best suited to shorter women as it can look proportionally unequal.

Mermaid

This style of dress is best suited to the slender bride as it does show off the figure and does not look flattering for those who do not enjoy their body curves. There are a range of styles to choose form and you can see if there is one for you.

Just remember that once you have decided upon your dress, you need to invest in the proper dress storage box for it otherwise you risk ruining your investment in many years time through fabric degradation.
