Beware the Perfect Location >
While choosing a remote location may have it's drawbacks in terms of amenities, on the upside is the chance for you and your fiance to truly make your wedding very personal and customized. Although a lot of work, the work itself can draw you closer to family and friends who volunteer to help as well as to each other. FEB 27, 2008
Entertaining Younger Guests >
One suggestion to help overcome the boredom children experience at weddings is to provide them with a wedding activity pack. Available in pre-formed packages or ones you create yourself, these child-like wedding favors are the perfect thing to amuse youngsters while the more adult activities such as speeches and toasts occur.

Diamonds are a Cake's Best Friend >
Crystallized hearts, flowers, snowflakes, starbursts and jeweled crowns all make for elegant yet simple toppers than can even match the jewelry or tiara worn by the bride. FEB 20, 2008
Priceless Candid Moments >
The advent of digital cameras has meant that some bridal couples, in an attempt to cut costs, have removed the service of a professional photographer from their weddings. While it is true that a photograph-savvy family friend can take those posed portraits well enough with a decent camera, it is the talent of a photographer in capturing candid moments whose worth cannot be given a price tag.

Cut the Expense, Not the Party >
When planning your cocktail wedding party, make sure to include music as a backdrop to guests' conversations and as a possible lead in for some dancing. A jazz ensemble, string quartet, or even a piano bar styled accompaniment to your party makes sure that guests continue to mingle without any awkward silences. FEB 13, 2008
Romantic Red for the Valentine Bride >
With so many colors in the wedding palette spotlight, the color red often falls off the charts as the color of choice until Valentine's Day approaches. Then, the color is placed front and center as Valentine's Day brides create fantastic weddings built around this traditional theme. What better way to say "I do" than with the color that speaks of romance? FEB 11, 2008
Decidedly Different Designs for Wedding Cakes >
So maybe the traditional, 3-tiered, white icing fruitcake isn't exactly what you have in mind when you dream of your perfect wedding cake. With so many fun and funky designs out there, and an attitude of "anything goes" when it comes to weddings, now is the perfect time to be looking for that decidedly different wedding cake.

Digital Works of Art >
When searching for a videographer, look for one whose signature style matches your own. View samples and ask for references. When sitting down to discuss the final product, ask how many videographers will be supplied. One will work, but two or more are always better FEB 07, 2008
Fantastic Little Flower Girls >
Instead of a basket full of flowers, give the child a cozy soft teddy bear adorned with a matching ribbon or other accessory. This strategy gives your young attendant something to cling to and something to distract her from the many eyes that are upon her as she makes her way down the aisle. FEB 06, 2008
Champagne: True and Fine >
Traditionally all champagne comes from the Champagne Region of France. If it does not say France somewhere on the label, it falls into the category of sparkling wine and is not considered true champagne. FEB 05, 2008
Ice Sculpture Wedding Decorations >
Setting an elegant tone for your wedding is something that can be easily achieved when guests are treated to the spectacular sight of ice sculptures as they walk in the door of your reception venue. FEB 04, 2008
