5 Hot Wedding Themes…

Diana Feather — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:46:16 +0000

A wedding can be very traditional with the glamorous white ball gown and the black tie tuxedos. However, they can also be given a new twist with these 5 fun themes. Which one would you choose for your wedding?

5. The Bride and Groom of Rock n Roll…

Whether you’re paying tribute to “Grease” or still believe Elvis Presley is alive and well, a Rock n Roll theme wedding is cool without a doubt. Dress up your guests tables with items that remind them of the 50’s and 60’s like a “Pink Ladies” table for all the cute teen girls or a “T-Bird” table for all the bad boys. Have your bridal party dress up in poodle skirts and wingtip shoes to keep the theme rocking and a rolling. And give a request to your band or DJ to only play hits from the era like Elvis’ “Jailhouse Rock” or Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire”.

4. Fun in the Sun for Everyone…

If you like to surf, swim, and tan than a fun and bright beach theme is just the added touch you need for your wedding. Dress your bridesmaids up in fun bright colors like hot pink and sunny yellow while the groomsmen coordinate their ties with the same colors. Invite your guests to wear light colors and white pants with flip-flops to join in on the summer fun. Find bands that use steel drums for a cool Bahaman vibe and don’t forget the mini cocktail umbrellas for those Margaritas! For your centerpieces add a touch of memory from your childhood with watermelons used as containers for your beautiful sunflowers or orchids with little seashells or starfish decorating the table.

3. From Far Away Travels…

Have you and your fiancé been to China or maybe Italy? Bring your guests into travels that may be unknown to them. Decorate your tables with trinkets from China like a little Buddha or small bamboo plants for centerpieces. The Double Happiness symbol is very popular for Chinese cake designs or cake toppers. There are many sources on the internet like China Bridal that sell favors, dresses, and accessories to help you express your theme the way you pictured it. And if Italy has stolen your heart, hold your reception at a winery and use wine corks for your placecard holders. Don’t forget to send your guest home with delicious biscotti favors or a miniature bottle of extra virgin olive oil.

2. Let’s Celebrate the Holidays…

If your wedding date falls around a holiday, whether it be St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Independence Day, or Halloween, don’t be afraid of it…embrace it! For Valentine’s Day decorate your wedding cake with fun hearts and give your guests favors of candy hearts that say “I Do”. St. Patrick’s Day can be done in a tasteful manner with cute shamrocks on your invitations and bridesmaids in lime or hunter green dresses. Don’t forget fireworks, apple pie, and a bridal party dressed in red, white, and blue on Independence Day. Halloween can be extreme with guests in costumes or laidback with colors of orange and small accents of brown with a touch of a few fun skulls or pumpkins on cupcakes and bridesmaids hair barrettes. Will there be a holiday incorporated into your wedding day?

*5 Tips for the Not so Typical Bride…

1. Movie Tickets Please…

Do you and your fiancé have a favorite movie that you’ve watched over a million times through the years? Or maybe you would like to remember your very first date when you saw “Walk the Line” and dress up like Johnny Cash in cowboy boots and June Carter in a beautiful vintage wedding gown. If you don’t have a movie you want to role play you can dress up in Hollywood glamour and pull out the red carpet as you step out of your rented Rolls Royce. Send out your save the dates on a movie stub and send your guest home with favors of clapboard picture frames.

12 Do’s and Don’ts for Every Bride and Groom …

Diana Feather — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 15:25:06 +0000

Every bride and groom goes through some stressful times when planning their wedding. In the mist of trying to plan your wedding you are also trying to continue every day life and time seems to get shorter every day closer to the wedding day. Hopefully these tips can help you get through your plans with less headaches to deal with.

Wedding Do’s

1. Make a Budget …

Know how much money you have to make your dream day perfect. Also know where the money is coming from. Are mom and dad helping or are the two of you responsible for everything? We planned for a long engagement because we knew how much money we needed to save for the big details like the reception hall and the wedding dress.

2. Communicate with each other …

Ask your spouse important questions like who to invite and what type of wedding you are having…i.e. traditional, low-key, extravagant, destination, etc. Will the wedding be indoor or outdoor and what colors will be incorporated? Also figure out what important traditions and religious aspects you would like to include in the ceremony and reception. We have decided to have an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception with 75 of our closest friends and family members. We will be having a spring time wedding with colors of teal and white.

3. Start to plan early …

Book vendors that you truly want to have for your wedding. The longer you wait, the bigger chance you have of not getting the reception hall you want, or the florist who designs your favorite bouquets. We looked around and searched online for reception vendors that would also hold ceremonies and found the perfect location. We set up a meeting and were ready to book within a week; which was almost a year and a half from our wedding date.

4. Brides: Do shop around …

Try on more than one dress and if the first dress you tried is “the one” then try it on again after you have tried on others. Also search online for ideas before you go to the bridal shop. I have searched online for ideas of what might suit me, but I haven’t completely shut out the ones I don’t consider my favorites. I am looking forward to trying on many different shapes and designs. This coming May I will let you know how I made out!

5. Grooms: Do give your input …

Help your bride out with details about the wedding that you might be interested in. Maybe you would like to pick out the DJ or the food. Trust me, she will appreciate your input and know that it’s as important to you as it is to her. My fiancé has given me great ideas of what he likes and doesn’t like. He also gives me his opinion on details that I have shown him. At first we were thinking of going with tiffany blue instead of teal, but when we both started to see the tiffany blue everywhere we decided to go with a different shade of blue…but still in the blue family!

6. Grooms: Give your Groomsmen some help …

Let your groomsmen know details about where to rent a tux or if you are all going to shopping together. Maybe shop online first so you can give them a range of prices. Also let know them where you stand on bachelor parties and if you want your bestman to hold the rings for you. They need to know just as much as bridesmaids do. My fiance and I are still in the beginning stages of planning, but we both will be taking our bridal parties shopping to look for tuxes and dresses.

Wedding Don’ts

1. Brides: Don’t try to do everything by yourself …

Ask your mother, friends, maid of honor, and of coarse even your groom for help. Stuffing 100 invitations until 3 a.m. isn’t any fun by yourself. Make a party out of it; call some girlfriends over, turn on the music and stuff away! I cannot wait to start putting little details together and asking my maid of honor and mother for help. I can picture it now…we will be listening to “My Best Friend’s Wedding” soundtrack as we stuff 75 invitations with directions and little maps to the reception hall!

It looks like a retro record player with a modern twist, and that’s exactly what it is. It’s a turntable with all the features needed for a good bit of DJ-ing, that hooks up to a USB to record your masterpieces digitally and store them on your PC, and while it’s not the first, it’s billed to be the most professional.

iPod cases made from recycled 45s

Gabrielle Taylor — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 02:05:00 +0000

We’d never recommend you do this with 45s that still have a use, but scratched vinyl is pretty much useless to anybody who isn’t a DJ (so it seems to me – feel free to post alternative uses beyond making them into snack dishes). 45 iPod cases reshapes old singles into unique iPod cases (and if they get scratched, it just adds to the character). $45 USD (of course).
