Beautiful Weddings

Why dream of the perfect wedding when all you need to do is to say to yourself “I the bride to be shall have the perfect wedding come hell or high water. That’s the spirit girl don’t let anything stand in your way from creating the wedding you dream of. No doubt you have heard it all before but being prepared for any last minute hiccups that could arise from whatever wedding plans you have dreamt of will guarantee your wedding to run smooth.

The wedding to do list can be time consuming but rushing can prove to be costly, not only for your pocket but your health too.

Things like ordering the wedding rings, bridal gown and that of booking the chapel marriage service can be very stressful if you allow it. Take each step at a time, juggling too many tasks at once can have you forget or overload the brain till it functions no more. You need to sit down with your betrothed and share ideas on what you both would like for your wedding. Particular ideas nominated by each other can be eliminated if inappropriate to save money. Lavish weddings can incur debt before carried over the threshold. Grandeur does not make a wedding any better than the next; it is how the whole entity is planned. For instance, if you invite lively fun people who love to dance, then your wedding now becomes more fabulous than the ceremony of grandeur with boring people listening to sombre tunes.

Issues which create the perfect wedding need to be prioritized. Centrepiece, hairstyle and wedding vows.

Your dream of having the perfect wedding can go belly up if little things you feel not important are overlooked at that particular time only to find out how necessary they really are. One is the table centrepiece, a beautiful embellishment that is extremely vital. Classical yet simple wedding centrepieces tend to evolve round flowers and ornaments. Fresh flowers of sweet fragrance fill the air with glorious scent. Silk blooms can be dabbed with aromatherapy oils. Silk flowers can be kept in remembrance of the day. Fresh blossoms can be dried and also kept as a keepsake in your wedding photo album. Remember flowers are seasonal and therefore your choice may have to be shipped in from abroad.

Centrepiece

Other perfect wedding centrepieces are silver candelabras. Floating candles with flower petals in a glass bowl is cost affective and simple to apply. Depending on location of the marriage

centrepieces will differ. If the ceremony takes place in the garden then a nature theme is more fitting to the occasion. Easy to create miniature birdhouses and flower baskets are very affective pieces of beauty. Wedding centrepieces can include juicy fruit – just as sweet smelling as flowers but you get to eat the fruit after and healthier too.

Hairstyle

Bear in mind when making your mind up on how the hair is to be worn is, what suits others may not be the right style for you. Practice makes perfect, try out different hairstyles in the mirror. This will give insight as to whether the hair goes up or stays down. Having the wedding dress easily to hand will make hairstyle selection easier. If the bridal gown is of an off shoulder design then consider wearing your hair down, if the bridal gown has a high neck Victorian type collar then wear the hair up to ooze elegance.

The shape of your face can help determine the right hairstyle. Short hair can be lengthened with hair extensions. Find a stylist and explain what you would like, being a professional the stylist can give advice on what he/she through experience knows of what is best.

Stunning hairstyles are the French twist or plaited braids creatively decorated with woven pearls or jewelled trinkets, rosebuds, feathers and bows .To help emanate romance let the tresses flow. Extensions can give the perfect hairstyle. Make arrangements with the hairdresser to have a practice run it may cost but it will be worthwhile. Bring along your tiara, Juliet cap or wedding veil for the hairdresser to fit at the same time.

Wedding Vows

Why pay for wedding words when you can save a packet by writing your own. Special words come with special meanings and if the person you are ready to marry is special, then who other than you yourself to mix those words with sentiment straight from the heart.

Pre-written wedding vows by a person not known can never express into words what it is you really want to say? Ask a friend to help you with personalizing your wedding vows.

Wedding vows simply explained is where you pledge your undying love till death do us part. This is a special part of all wedding ceremonies where the bride and groom get to say how much they love each other (god forbid if they had a tiff earlier)

Unique ideas denote originality.

1 Why not break with tradition and have the groom walk down the aisle to you or both together – you have to admit it is certainly different.

2 Ask your guests to make a small donation to charity to help those less fortunate than that of receiving a wedding favor.

3 A unique idea that your guests will love. Have a best dressed competition. Print this on the invitation, this will encourage everyone to go out of their way to look great, hence you have a wedding full of well dressed people. Not everyone can be a winner (but you are) because of uniqueness. Have the guests enter the wedding venue via a red carpet. This the guests will never forget while busy telling everyone of their star treatment they were given. So before long the whole world will know how you created the perfect wedding.

 

Getting married is the best thing you’ll ever do, no matter what time of the year you tie the knot. However, the date that you set is very important as it helps you decide on a theme for the big day. It is best, if you get married in the Fall you can go for burnt oranges, golds, chocolates, yellows and reds. These beautiful colors will then be reflected in the autumn wedding favors [or fall wedding favors] that you hand to your guests.

 

What about your wedding reception tables being scattered with red, gold and brown leaves and finished off with lashings of gold organza ribbon?

 

Your Fall wedding favors could then be put at each place setting with a centrepiece of pine cones, apples, peach roses, seasonal berries such as juniper and finished with ivory and gold trimmings. Heavenly! The fall truly is a excellent time of year to get married as you can still get lots of sunshine and the temperature can be warm.

 

If you plan for winter wedding it will reflect the festive season and depending on the date of your wedding, it may become difficult to select your wedding belongings as it is a Christmas Season.

 

Beautiful silver sprinkles [such as snowflakes and hearts] can be scattered across your pure white table linen and each place setting can have a co-ordinating winter wedding favor – perhaps decorated with silver and white feathers.

 

Alternatively, silver or gold favor boxes could contain edible favors for your guests continuing the beautiful wedding favor theme. If you choose to have fall wedding favors, your reception tables will look exquisite with the purity of white and silver.

 

With a little patience and creativity, you can make a stunning fall wedding idea come to life. Here are some other ideas associated with Fall to get your creative juices flowing:

 

Wheat

 

Sunflowers

 

Corn and corn husks

 

Harvest vegetables and fruits

 

Angelic! Fall weddings are truly magical in every way

If you want to have a wedding that is truly out of this world, it is actually very simple to achieve! “How?” I hear you ask. Well, all you need to do is to have an alternative style of dress, or to replace the usual Meldenson march with something a little more passionate, such as hard rock music for example! All invited to your wedding will be surprised and it will make your wedding truly unforgettable. If, however, you think that hard rock music is a little too much to bear, then how about putting on one of your favourite songs that is also original and lively?

We conducted a painstaking amount of research into the subject of weddings and uncovered several marriage ceremonies that you could call ‘out of the ordinary’. These ceremonies are famous throughout the world for their extravagance and significance. We found ‘wild’ weddings, ‘fairytale’ weddings, ‘ethnic-style’ weddings, ‘exotic’ weddings, ‘retro’ weddings or even ‘time-machine’ wedding and, last but not least, ‘art-style’ weddings. In the next few paragraphs, we will take you on a guided tour of these weddings and give you a report on the types of weddings that are out there for you to enjoy.

Wild weddings

We shall begin with the ‘wild’ wedding. This type of wedding requires you to be extremely brave, to cast away your inhibitions and to simply revel in the rush of adrenaline. The ‘wild’ wedding really does lives up to its name – it is so flamboyant and extreme! If you want your wedding to be in this style, you need bags of energy to be able to really let off steam and to party!

To be specific, a ‘wild’ wedding is not a standard marriage ceremony; it is an exuberant fantasy which brings with it a tide of pleasure. So, how does one achieve a wedding such as this? Well, you need to think about how you can make alterations to the typical wedding scenario. In place of a bouquet you could carry a wreath, for example, you could wear Gothic attire instead of a wedding dress or hire unusual transport like a fast, sports car. How about organising a banquet on a quiet country lane or in a surgery? You could add to the fantasy of the occasion by incorporating alternative pranks into the ceremony. For two whole days you and your guests will be kept amused! At the end of the day, a ‘wild’ wedding needs to do what it says on the tin – be wild! The idea of fantasy is to know no boundaries or inhibitions! Use this as a basis for your own ‘wild’ wedding!

Fairytale weddings

The next type of alternative wedding is the ‘fairytale’ wedding. As you can probably guess, dear readers, fairytale weddings are weddings that, yes you guessed it, are based on fairytales! Fairytale weddings are typically based on fairytales such as “Cinderella” or “Sleeping Beauty.” The dresses will be reminiscent of fairytale dresses and the heroes of the fairytales will always be present at your ceremony. These heroes of the stories make for wonderful entourage. If you choose to be a Cinderella on your big day, then you will need a fairy godmother, a king and even some ugly sisters! Of course, you must have a wicked stepmother too. The crux of the occasion is the Ball, to which you will invite your ‘handsome prince’ – the groom. The celebrations end at midnight at which time a pumpkin-style carriage will draw up and whisk you away!

Ethnic weddings

The next type of wedding is the ‘ethnic-style’ wedding. ‘Ethnic style’ essentially means national style. Ok, so what does this mean you ask yourselves? Put simply, if you choose to have a wedding in ethnic style, then the guests, the groom, the bride and the caterers must all be dressed in national costume. The entertainment at this type of wedding is in the form of rituals, customs and observations of traditional, national ways. Revive old traditions from food to old elegant clothing. This ancient atmosphere will create time-machine wonders – it will take you and your guests centuries back; as though you were one of your ancestors! The ideas for a ethnic wedding can be derived from customs of your motherland as well as from traditions of another country that you are fond of. Whichever you choose, you will feel like a true national!

Exotic weddings

The next type of alternative wedding is the ‘exotic’ wedding. An ‘exotic’ wedding is similar to a wild wedding. But where at the wild wedding you can be elaborate with your dreams, at an exotic wedding you can incorporate your hobbies. If you love parachute jumping, then go ahead! If you like motorcycles, then no problem! Tie some tins-cans to a Vampire and off you go! Just make sure you have a courtege for the motorcycles. The bride can be dressed in white leathers with a bandana on her head in place of a veil. The groom can wear tight-fitting, black trousers instead of a morning suit and a necktie. A bride and groom on a motorcycle with tin-cans attached to the back, What a sight to behold!

Underwater weddings

Have you ever heard of an underwater wedding? Well, this style of wedding is a type of exotic wedding! The couple’s first kiss is underwater as well as the exchanging of the rings and even the signing of the register! To make the occasion even more exotic, you could have the ceremony on a desert island. Although whether you can call it a desert island after you have planned your wedding on it remains to be seen!

Retro weddings

The next alternative wedding is the ‘retro-style’ wedding. This style is in keeping with the period of the ’60s to the ’90s. What can we say about this type of wedding? Well, the traditions, the music and the attire all are reminiscent of this period. The bride and the groom wear clothing that is typical of the time and the music and customs also conform to the period. Classic, ethnic and beautiful styles are all characteristic of ‘retro style.’

Body-paintings: art-style wedding

The final, alternative-style wedding is the ‘art-style’ wedding. If you know anything about art-style, then you will realise that if you have this type of wedding, you don’t just need to be brave, you need to be VERY brave! Art-style involves decorating the body with special paints. Art style is contemporary in its design. The wedding attire consists of very unusual body paintings that can be almost anything depends on your taste and fantasy. Just imagine!

Eastern Touch

Influenced by an eastern tradition called mehendi to decorate bride’s palms, feet. In Western variations it expands to back and shoulders. Imagine, a bride, with beautifully decorated hands, feet, shoulders and back, wearing open wedding clothes to demonstrate this artistic design.

Of course, to have this type of wedding it is also extreme. It is a very amusing way to enjoy the wedding. To put it simply, if you are a creative person who is not afraid of anything and anyone, then why not go for it?
