The Happy Wedding

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.

Wedding favours are a very popular feature of weddings and a much loved tradition. Choosing the right one for your wedding can be difficult and a daunting task especially if you are working to a budget, probably one which is already well stretched!

When trying to decide what favours to have, don’t rush, there is time if you plan ahead and it should be a fun thing to do. Here we have some great tips for you.

Colours and Themes

The obvious question to ask is whether you have a specific colour scheme for your wedding or a theme. If you have a specific scheme, you can pick your favours that compliment your theme and brings everything together.

Mood

The type of favour you decide upon may also depend on how formal or casual your wedding is. A less formal favour may have something more personalised and home-made than one that is more formal.

Budget

The budget can play a big part of the decision making process. Weddings cost enough as it is and favours just add to it. Favours need not be expensive if you are on a budget. You can easily make your own favours or rather than buying ready-made favours, you can buy yourself DIY favour boxes. This saves money though you have to assemble the favours yourself. This is a great way to make savings.

Bride & Groom

Think about the bride and groom and what their interests are, how they met etc. With these aspects in mind, you can come up with an idea that reflect these personalities and bring them out in the favours that you give. An example is a friend’s wedding. This couple kept chickens in their garden and for their favours, the bride made her own little chicken-looking embroidery paperweights. They were really cool and a very nice personal touch. The only investment was some fabric and time to put it together.

Use your imagination and you can come up with some great wedding favour ideas without breaking the bank.

One of the largest expenses while getting married is the wedding stationary. You can spend a rather large amount of money on your wedding stationary if you have the funds. Many people view the wedding stationary as a highly important part of the wedding process. They see the wedding stationary as your first chance to show the world who you are as a couple. If you feel this way, you will want to spend a little extra time, money and effort on your wedding stationary. If you view them as simply a means to let everyone know about the wedding, there are many ways you can save money.

You will want to purchase your wedding stationary early. Whether you are having invitations printed professionally or you are going to print your own wedding stationary, you want to send out invitations with enough time for people to plan to make it to your nuptials. One very important thing about your wedding is having the people you care about present. If you don’t send out your wedding stationary with enough time, people might make other plans.

Fancy wedding stationary can be very expensive. Because of this, you should determine your overall wedding budget. Then, you should decide exactly what you want to spend on wedding stationary. If you are looking to spend a lot of money, you might be able to afford nicer wedding stationary on thicker and more expensive paper. Professional printers will offer a wide range of options that can suit any needs. If you are looking to save money, you can make your own invitations from wedding stationary. You can save a lot of cash by opting to make your own wedding stationary rather than hire out. If you are planning to have a huge wedding, this can be a big undertaking.

If you are making the wedding stationary yourself, you should make sure you allow plenty of time. Addressing hundreds of envelopes is no small project and you will want to make sure that everyone on the list gets an invite. You don’t want to be rushing at the last minute to finish up your wedding stationary. You also want to give people time to RSVP so you can know exactly how many people are planning to show up. Weddings are expensive and it is certainly undesirable to have a lot of people fail to respond. You can make your own wedding stationary by going to a craft store. They will generally have paper with nice designs that you can put in your own printer. You can dress up your wedding stationary by adding ribbons or confetti.

Another way to save money on wedding stationary is to send out e-vites. An e-vite is an online invitation. You can use sources such as email or networking sites such as Facebook or Myspace to get the word out. This is also a great way to differentiate between who is coming to the reception and who is just invited to the ceremony. You can send e-vites to a large group of people for the wedding ceremony and then send out paper invitations to those invited to the reception. This can save a lot of money and cut back on confusion.

Choosing the colors to accentuate your wedding dresses seems pretty easy. Predictably enough, most brides pick out their favorite shade out of the palette, without giving their wedding motif much consideration.

Let’s just put it this way, your wedding motif is red. Your wedding favors are the same shade of red, your mom’s plus size wedding attire is even red! Then you decide to go off and add a despicably obvious apply green sash to your otherwise pristine wedding dress. Horrendous is the best word for it.

Pink, red, fuchsia, burgundy, plum, mauve, purple, or blue, you name it. It actually does not matter what shade you would accentuate your wedding dresses with, as long as it is in the same color family as your chosen motif for your wedding. The key here is to leaf through a variety of color combinations and patterns. Bridal magazines are the best medium by which to look for wedding dresses. They portray wedding dresses of various designs, color combinations and color patterns.

Here are a few tips that might help you out in choosing the right colors to accentuate your wedding dresses:

1. As mentioned above, choose colors that complement your wedding’s motif. The closer the shade of your wedding dresses’ accents to your motif, the better.

2. Consider how the color of your choice will look on your wedding dresses. White may be neutral, but it doesn’t mean that anything goes with white. For instance, choosing a chocolate brown sash or a dirt brown bow may not work well for you or your wedding dress. Instead of looking special, you will end up looking dowdy.

3. Think about how your accentuated wedding dresses will look with the other wedding accessories. Will the accents stick out like a sore thumb? You may have picked out a shade that basically belongs to the same family as your wedding theme. Your wedding theme lilac. You chose to accentuate your wedding dress with a deep purple sash. Note, deep purple, the color of mourning. That is not good at all.

4. It is good to be daring. In fact, the best inventions in this world emerged because a lot of people were audacious enough to try new things. However, this does not always apply to your wedding dresses’ color combinations, or color patterns for that matter. Plaid, checkered or stripes will never work in a wedding. Leopard prints, zebra prints or giraffe prints will produce worse effects. Imagine how horrifying it would be for your guests. Unless of course, your venue is the public zoo.

5. Here is a very good piece of advice, check out the venue of your wedding and your wedding reception. Take a look at the curtains, carpet and the tablecloths. Make sure the accents to your wedding dresses are not the same shade as those. Save yourself the embarrassment.

6. Sequins look great on wedding dresses. However, covering up nearly half of your wedding dresses is certainly not a good idea. Whatever the color of the sequins is, they should not be overbearing. Sequins are meant to accentuate your wedding dresses, not to cover it up.

Planning a wedding is not easy and aside from the location, that stunning dress you need to track down and your guest list, perhaps the biggest challenge is your wedding stationery. Your wedding stationery is not only your chance to make a first impression on your guests, it is also the item that is most often saved by guests to remember your special occasion. Below are some tips to help you when creating your wedding stationery set.

Wedding Stationery Must Have’s

• Wedding Announcements/Save the Date Cards – Sending out a wedding announcement letting your guests know of your wedding date and location is the first step in getting an idea of how many guests will be attending (Be sure to include an RSVP card with return envelope and postage). Though you want your wedding stationery to be consistent, it is sometimes a good idea to avoid excessive decoration on these initial mailings. Things like envelope liners and seals can usually be reserved for your wedding invitations. This is a good way to save a bit on your wedding stationery overall.

• Your Wedding Invitations – Being the centerpiece of your wedding stationery, your invitations is where you will likely want to spend the bulk of your wedding stationery budget and pay close attention to detail. Wedding invitations are your chance to let your guests know how formal (or informal) your event will be and are an important element in setting the overall tone for your entire wedding. As mentioned above this is also the item of wedding stationery most guests will save in order to remember your big event so take time to make sure you’re making the impression that you want. Envelope liners, envelope seals, ribbon, floral accents and multi-layered designs are a few things to consider.

• Reception Cards/Directions – These wedding stationery items should be included with your wedding invitations and though you want them to be consistent with the style of your wedding stationery, single sheet cards with little to no adornments. It is important that your directions to the wedding/reception are printed clearly. Poor printing quality to lead to maps that are hard to read and you don’t want your guests getting lost.

• Menus and Table Cards – These reception and dinner items should also match the overall feel of your wedding stationery. Table cards can usually be made with a single folded card and nothing too fancy in the way of design. Something to consider with menus is a two layer design that matches your invitations. This is an easy way to add consistency with your wedding stationery since most guests will not bring their invitations with them.

Wedding Stationery – Important Details

There are many details that you can include that can make sure your wedding stationery is as perfect as your event. Paying attention to the following suggestions can go a long way in adding additional quality and a lasting impression.

• Return Postage – Make sure you include return envelopes and postage. Making your guests pay for a stamp is poor wedding stationery etiquette and should be avoided at all costs.

• Use Calligraphy Fonts – When printing the text for your wedding stationery a calligraphy (cursive) font style is highly recommended to add elegance.

• Your Requests – If you prefer to not have children at your ceremony, make sure to let your guests know. Be as clear as you can here to avoid any confusion.

• Double Envelopes – When delivering your wedding invitations, place them, envelope and all, into a cheaper outer envelope to ensure that they are not smudged during postal delivery.

• Envelope Seals – Adding these to the envelopes of your wedding stationery add a high degree of quality for minimal extra cost. Wax seals and paper seals work equally as well here.

These are just a few things that go into the making of a quality wedding stationery set. Like most bride’s to be, I’m sure that your wedding stationery is something that is not only important to you, but something you want to make sure you get right. Keeping in mind the things above can hopefully help you to achieve this.

Nowadays, destination weddings have become a popular choice for nuptials. More couples choose to move away from their hometown and get married in a whole new different setting. There are many reasons to choose a destination wedding. Many couples look at destination weddings as an opportunity to make their own rules for the wedding. They are taking advantage of celebrating the start of their new life together as well as enjoying a relaxing vacation away from home.

Like anything in life, destination weddings have its advantages and disadvantages. It is the couple’s decision if they want to have their dream wedding in an exotic place like Thailand or just a neighboring state like Phoenix, Arizona. Here are some pros and cons that will help you make up your mind if a destination wedding is really right for you.

• Advantages of destination weddings

The best reason to have a destination wedding is the flexibility of the wedding. The couple is able to make decisions based on what they want compared to a traditional wedding which oftentimes involves a lot of necessities. You are also able to save on flowers, rentals and professional services because destination wedding locations usually offer these services all in one place. If you are planning to hold your wedding in Arizona, a wedding photography Phoenix will be readily available for you.

Destination weddings also provide you with quality time with your closest friends and family. You will be able to spend time with them after the wedding because there are plenty of fun activities accessible in your wedding destination location. Some destination weddings take place in private islands or beaches where friends and family can go snorkeling, kayaking or simply frolic under the sun.

Destination weddings can help you save on money, time and effort. Many resorts offer inclusive rates that include air fare, suites and activities for the price of one. Some of them also offer full wedding planning so you will not need to worry about anything else.

• Disadvantages of destination weddings

If you are planning a destination wedding in a foreign country or another state, a few complications with marriage license may arise. Most countries have strict laws pertaining to weddings. Marriage ceremonies held in your destination wedding location may not be recognized legally at home.

Another problem for far-away locations is the possibility of some guests not being able to attend because of the travel expenses or difficulty of getting off work. Also older guests may not be able to take a trip so far away from home. This will definitely be a loss because you will not be able to spend your special day with the people who matter to you most.

Ultimately, after weighing the advantages and disadvantages of having a destination wedding, it really depends on the couple if they still want to have one. The planning process in destination weddings like choosing the ceremony venue or hiring a wedding photography in Phoenix will not be an easy task but you just need to figure out your priorities and preferences. If you do decide to have a destination wedding, you should take careful considerations all the details and do a lot of planning and research. The earlier you begin planning for your wedding, the greater chance you will be able to have the perfect destination wedding you have been dreaming of.
