Bridal and Wedding Lingerie - For that Sexy Wedding Night

By Amanda Cotterill

Wedding lingerie can be as vital as the wedding dress that goes over it. Most people don't realize that the lingerie that is worn underneath the alluring wedding gown can make all the difference in the world when it comes to how the dress looks. The right lingerie can supplement the appearance of the blushing bride and can create improvements in how the dress looks and feels. For this reason, it's important to choose wedding lingerie carefully.

Bras, girdles and hosiery all contribute to the overall effect by smoothing out everything underneath to make your dress appear flawless. Why wear run-of-the-mill underwear when you could wear sexy bridal lingerie? Don't worry about comfort, either. Sexy doesn't mean itchy or tight-fitting. If you choose a bridal lingerie set that fits right, you'll be comfortable all day long.

Let's take a look at a few of the key components for your wedding lingerie:

The Bra

It's a fact: Most women don't have a bra that fits properly or even know the proper way to be fitted for a bra. We've all suffered through bras that are too tight or too loose, or the cups are too big or way too small. The straps slip and the under wires are uncomfortable. In general, an ill-fitting bra has the potential to be as much of a torture device as anything the Spanish Inquisition could dream up.

Start by going to a good lingerie store. The saleswomen helps guide you in finding a bra that fits properly. They teach you how to take the proper measurements and find the styles of bras that flatter your particular shape. Designers are well aware that women want decorative bras and want comfort too. You'll have many styles to choose from.

Girdles

For many women, girdles may seem conservative and frumpy. On the wedding day, however, a girdle plays an essential role. A girdle works to help smooth out the curves and develop the form-fitting nature of the wedding dress, enhancing it in all the right places. The fit of the girdle is therefore exceptionally important.

If you choose pantyhose, make sure the waistband isn't so tight that it shows through the dress. This is where the girdle helps smooth out a sharp division at your waist. If you go the garter belt route, don't go cheap. Clips on the cheap garter belts might slip. You don't want your stockings bagging around your ankles during that all-important first dance as husband and wife.

Before closing the sale on the wedding dress, take some time to put together well-fitted wedding lingerie. Make sure everything is snug and relaxed. It should fit with the wedding dress and should be discrete enough that it saves some of the surprise for later. The right bridal lingerie can make all of the difference in terms of the overall comfort and style of the special day.

Beach Wedding Dress - Ways To Achieve A Sexy Look For Your Dress

By Anthony Lee

Sexy walks a fine line between being genuinely attractive and being just plain cheap. Even slits have a limit when it comes to good taste. Remember Elizabeth Hurley's crotch-revealing gown when she went to a wedding? And she wasn't even the bride! She got away with it but, as beautiful as Ms. Hurley is, the antic left many of the guests with a bad memory of the affair.

Sexy is about showing your curves, all your good parts and still keeping enough from plain view to keep everyone guessing. And that is something you can do with your beach wedding dress. So which areas of the body should you expose and better yet, how much?

One thing to remember when picking your sexy beach wedding dress is to consider which parts of your body you are most proud of. If you have curves like a guitar, a fitting bodice can show them off nicely. If your legs are to-die for, a short dress or a slit that goes halfway up your thighs is a great way to wear a sexy beach wedding dress. The trick is finding one or two areas you can emphasize and allowing the rest of your body to play up your best asset.

Beach wedding dresses also require your arms to go uncovered. That enough is already sexy. If you're wearing a long beach wedding dress, show off your neck and shoulders by tying back your hair in an upswept hairdo and wearing a strapless or off-the-shoulder gown. Or go for minimal yet sexy skin exposure with a halter neck. A halter neck will show off toned shoulders and some skin on the front torso and upper back.

A sexy beach wedding dress can also work well with a low-cut back. If your back looks as sexy as Hilary Swank's or Nicole Kidman's, wear a sleeveless, scoop neck and a plunging back. Any style will do – the wide V-cut to reveal nice shoulder blades and just skim your lower back or a shy slit that can run straight from the nape of your neck to the small of your back, revealing your skin only when a breeze blows it slightly open.

And what's a sexy beach wedding dress without the cleavage? Maximize your curves with a midriff-skimming bustier or if you're a little shy, wear a demure beach wedding dress with a little peep hole in front.

Tips For Creating Sexy Wedding Hair

By Erica Tevis

Your wedding hairstyle can make or break your entire wedding look. Whether you choose to wear your hair up or down, will depend on your style of dress, your headpiece and what you are most comfortable in. Soft hair is pretty hair and your husband to be should see you in a hairstyle that is recognizable, fun and touchable. If you don't normally wear your hair in a tied back bun with layers of shellac, chances are your groom doesn't want to see you that way - he wants to see the real you!

You want your wedding hair to be trendy, fun and super sexy. Your hair can be long, loose and cascading down your shoulders or pulled back and low - but the secret to sexy modern wedding hair is soft touchable texture. Rumpled waves are all the trend now, think soft curls framing your face and shoulders. It can be messy and windblown, or perfectly delicate waves - unstructured and carefree. Use a 1" barrel curling iron and volumizing mousse to seal the curl and direction. Finish with a sheer hold hairspray with memory to "lock" your look into place without drowning it in heavy gloss.

If you choose to wear your wedding hair in an updo, think a twisted modern textured chignon, sitting low at the nape of your neck. After blow drying your hair with a round brush, add some curls and waves to it with a 1" curling iron. Add some pomade to lock the look and form texture. Gather your hair loosely into a ponytail at ear level, secure it with an elastic band then twist portions of the loose ends clockwise around the band, tucking, sculpting and pinning it as you wrap it around.

Finally, to add some red carpet glamor and glitz to your wedding hair add some sparking pins, barrettes, a comb or a headband to bring a simple sparkle to your hair.

Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

By Ashley Rader

How to Ask Your Friends and Family

Some brides-to-be are blessed with a bounty of friends and family from which to choose a selection of bridesmaids, all of which would feel honored to participate in their wedding. But others are not as fortunate. There are cases where a bride-to-be doesn't have any sisters, and very few friends and family to call on for their wedding. This can be an intimidating situation. Here are some ideas for how to ask your friends and family to be in your bridal party.

If Shy, By Letter

If you are a shy person and are a little intimidated by the prospect of being rejected to your face, you may way to send out personalized letters to the women who you want to be in your bridal party. Some of us are a lot better on paper than in person.

So the question of will you be my bridesmaid? can be asked in a heartfelt letter explaining your choice. This may even be better than saying it face to face, because you will be able to tell them more without encroaching on their time.

By Lunch

If you are more of a talker, invite a group of your friends, co-workers, and family out to lunch where you ask everyone as a group if they will be in your bridal party. Tell them how much they mean to you and why you chose them. Nobody wants to feel like they were a last option, so when deciding on how to ask your friends and family to be in your bridal party, be sure to let them know that they are a first choice.

No Cost to Bridesmaids

Hearing the question will you be my bridesmaid? creates dreaded images in the minds of some women. Many of these women are reluctant to be a part of a bridal party due to the financial cost and aggravation involved. This is especially so when they are not really that close to the bride-to-be.

So if you are faced with a situation where you are short on choices as far as bridesmaids are concerned, and only plan to have a couple of bridesmaids at your wedding anyway, offer to pay for all of their costs. The extra couple of hundred dollars you will spend on their dresses and shoes will be worth the relief of having your bridesmaids booked.

You also want to make it clear to your bridesmaids that they will not have a "bridezilla" situation on their hands. The money issue is nothing to prospective bridesmaids compared to the aggravation of having to deal with a crazy, obsessive bride. Limit the time they need to invest getting ready for your wedding to the rehearsal dinner and the day of the wedding. No more. No need for a bridal shower, unless they decide to throw one for you.

If you are fortunate to have many close friends, you probably have women competing to be your bridesmaids. But for others, figuring out how to ask your friends and family to be in your bridal party can be a daunting task. Use common sense and practical means to get the bridesmaids that you need to participate in your wedding.

Bridesmaid Gifts From Classic to Trendy

By Laura Firenze

Although being invited to serve as a bridesmaid is no doubt a thrilling reward in and of itself, it is also customary to show your appreciation for your attendants. This is usually achieved through special bridesmaid gifts and a thoughtful note. Here are some great ideas for bridesmaid gifts, from classic to trendy.

The most timeless idea for your bridesmaid gifts are jewelry sets. It is also one of the most versatile ideas, because jewelry can be designed to suit any taste or budget. Many brides like the tradition of having sets of bridesmaid jewelry custom made in crystals or pearls to match their wedding colors. This is a popular idea, as it can be worn with the bridesmaid dress on the day of the wedding. Another classic idea for a gift of jewelry is a strand of pearls and a pair of pearl earrings to match. If you have a limited budget, beautiful Swarovski pearls will be both lovely and affordable.

The fun thing about jewelry is that it can also be trendy and modern. Some of the hottest trends in bridesmaid jewelry include clusters of gems and crystals in unique shapes. For your most creative bridesmaids, check out long drop earrings created from Swarovksi crystals cut in interesting forms like stars, moons, leaves, or cubes. Chic girls will adore long dangle earrings featuring clusters of Swarovski crystals or pearls. Necklaces in a similar design are also one of the top trends right now, as is the Y-necklace with double drops.

Stationery is another wonderful idea for bridesmaid gifts, and it can also run the range from tried-and-true to new and hip. Any woman with classic taste will love a box of fine stationery with her monogram or initial on it. If you are having a wedding with a particular theme, such as a beach wedding, you could also look for stationery that relates to your motif, like ecru notecards with an embossed gold shell design. Bridesmaids who like more modern paper will enjoy boxed sets of cards with an edgy graphic pattern on them. Another great idea for any taste are letterpress cards with a quaint retro design.

Of course the best gifts show that you know the tastes and hobbies of the recipient. If your bridesmaids are all about having a good time, there are some cute and fun gifts out there that are also classy enough to be appropriate bridesmaid gifts. For the life of the party, why not consider a pink leather personalized flask? Customized pink leather drink koozies are another hot gift for bridesmaids who like to have a good time.

Sentimental gifts are another wonderful idea. You can give each bridesmaid a special picture frame designed for bridesmaids or the maid of honor. Have your wedding date inscribed on each one, and fill it with a picture of the two of you enjoying a special moment together. If you are the DIY type of bride, you can also go online and design little photobooks for each bridesmaid that capture your best memories in pictures. These are the thoughtful types of gifts that any bridesmaid is sure to appreciate, regardless of her style.

Whether you decide on gifts that are traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, the presents that you give to your bridesmaids are the perfect way of showing your affection and appreciation. Bridesmaid gifts are the perfect way to thank your friends for being a part of your wedding. If you choose gifts that are beautiful and from the heart, your bridesmaids are sure to love them.

Laura helps brides with their wedding plans by offering advice on selecting bridesmaids gifts,reception ideas and other aspects of planning a wedding. Show your appreciation for your attendants with fabulous sets of bridesmaid jewelry.

Wedding Photographers Can Market More Effectively by Placing Wedding Venue Comments on Website

By Vanessa Honda

The wedding photography industry is competitive. To thrive in this environment, most photographers need to execute an effective marketing plan. With increased traffic going to the web, having a web strategy is essential. This article looks at how listing local wedding venues on a photography website along with some photography related commentary can benefit the photographer, his clients and the wedding venue.

The photographer benefits by having these listings on the site because it conveys the message that he is an expert in the area, his key search engine rankings will be enhanced and his relationship with vendors can be built.

When a client reads a comment on various wedding locations from a photographer's perspective, he is able to see the depth of the author's knowledge. He is able to see that the photographer is not just a startup shooting his first wedding, but is an experience professional with a detailed knowledge of shooting in a number of different locations. A potential client can also get a feel for a photographer's shooting style and preferences as he reads the critiques. The client should also gain some insight on the photographic benefits of choosing one venue over another.

Additionally, writing these evaluations can help the photographer's website improve its page ranking on valuable keywords. When posting a venue commentary it is helpful to the client to see an address. This address will have the city's name tied to it. This will help a website gain search engine strength on the name of the city.

A photographer can also create contacts and enhance his relationships with the venue managers by posting venue comments on his website. Like the photographer, the venue is in business and is benefited by additional exposure. By contacting the venue and explaining his plans to write the commentary and asking for feedback, a photographer can establish a positive working relationship with the venue managers.

With the advent of digital photography and relatively cheap digital cameras and related software, the photography industry has become increasingly competitive as more people are entering its ranks. Adding helpful content - such as venue listings will help a photographer distinguish himself from the majority of these professionals.

The author, through photo journalism, provides a unique expressive perspective for weddings, seniors, events, proms and newborns.

In addition, she works as a Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer with a knack for shooting in rural areas such as the local wineries. She also teaches photography classes to a number of Orange County Photographers.

While Vanessa began her business in the Temecula area, she later move to Newport Beach and began serving Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, and Irvine.

Something old, something new, something borrowed - but should it always be something blue? Modern brides are getting out of the traditional norm when choosing wedding dresses. It's no longer the customary long white gowns they want to wear. They choose something that personalizes their personalities and their fantasies.

If you're fantasizing to float down the aisle like a dream, spend more time deciding your wedding dress and leave the other bridal details to your mom, sisters, and best friends. The motif of wedding dresses is central to your wedding plans, and if you've decided on a wedding outfit that evokes the tantalizing spell of summer, the other details will easily follow.

Choosing that wedding apparel from a number of spell-binding wedding dresses can be as arduous as conquering Mt. Everest. For starters, be ready to try on a number of wedding gowns and dresses before settling on one that absolutely completes the picture of an idyllic summer wedding. So whether you are choosing to rent one or have one custom-made, be ready to take the time.

Wedding Dresses To Rent

But since you are in charge here, you have at your disposal a number of gowns to choose from.

Before Getting Your Wedding Dress

Wedding Rings

By Dr. Mark Clayson

In the United States and United Kingdom, women traditionally wore wedding rings much more than the men. Times have changed. Both men and women now wear wedding rings as a sign of their fidelity to each other. But for valid purposes, some occupations or jobs prohibits the wearing of wedding rings while at work such as those working in the police force, actors and electrical workers. Some people remove their rings for safety or comfort especially if their fingers have increased in size over time. An alternative could be wearing a wedding ring as a pendant on a necklace which still translates to the same marriage vows where people wear the rings on their finger.

How Wedding Rings for Couples Started

It was not clear when the practice for both partners to wear a wedding ring started. What is known however is the introduction of a marketing ad aimed at its use during the late 19th century. But even then, it did not attract wide public acceptance and use. It was only after World War II when the practice started gaining popularity and by 1940, around 80% of weddings saw the exchange of wedding rings among marrying couples. This is indeed a big jump compared to only 15% who practiced it before the Great Depression occurred.

Various Practices on Wearing the Wedding Ring

One practice of wearing the wedding ring is placing it below the engagement so that to some, it means it is closer to the heart. On the other hand, other people wear the wedding ring above the engagement ring because the wedding ring supposedly creates a seal of the engagement in the marriage. Others opt to wear the wedding ring alone as this indicates its special meaning to their current life.

The Making of the Wedding Ring

Wedding rings are usually made of gold alloyed with copper, bismuth and tin metals to produce a harder product. Some rings may also be created from white or platinum alloys to give a different shine. Titanium has also gained popularity as a material for wedding rings due to its unique qualities. It is affordable, durable and it comes in a gun metal gray color. In recent years too, tungsten carbide with platinum or gold inlays were also used as a material for wedding ring. Other less expensive materials such as nickel silver and stainless steel has become alternatives for wedding rings. However, aluminum, are almost never used while silver, brass and copper are rarely casted to create a wedding ring.

Styles and Fashion for He and She

The most popular kind of wedding ring is a plain gold band which comes in varying thicknesses and karats. Women usually get the narrower rings while men are given a broader ring for their wedding. Other rings have designs on them such that when placed in light, the ring reflects them in various directions giving them certain sheen. The ring could also be a combination of white and yellow gold to give it a distinctive appearance.

Dressing For A Wedding - Tips To Look Good

Author: Abhishek Agarwal

There is a unique style that can be followed for every other wedding you attend depending on the location, the time and the season. If the invitation is addressed formally, it implies that the guests are required to dress formally for the occasion. On the other hand, a casual invite suggests that the guests can dress casually for the wedding.

For selecting what to wear, the wedding location can be of great help. For a beach wedding or a wedding in a lawn, steer clear of high heels as they tend to sink in the sand and the grass respectively. For an outdoor wedding, very light dresses have to be shunned as they tend to get caught with the wind. A subtle dress can be worn for a wedding at a warm and humid location. However, if the wedding is to take place at a club or a five-star restaurant, you can prefer being wearing a tailored suit or any other dressy outfit.


# OUTFITS FOR THE SUNSHINE WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. A nice fitted skirt with a sweater and sling back shoes.
2. A suit in a subtle color which is not too formal.
3. A dress with a nice floral pattern.
4. A striking hat which would go well with the outfit and would compliment it.

For the 40+ men:-

1. A linen or seersucker suit in a light color is the most apt outfit for a summer wedding.
2. For winter weddings, go for darker shades and warmer fabrics. Woolen suits, charcoal pants, ties and a sweater beneath the blazer are a nice option.
3. A blazer together with a dress shirt, pants and a tie is another elegant option.
4. If the wedding is before 6pm, a tuxedo can be adorned.
5. For a wedding which is formal, a dark colored suit is the best bet.

# OUTFITS FOR THE EVENING WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. Dressing for an evening wedding should be similar to the way we dress for a theatre or dinner.
2. An elegant and not so revealing cocktail number in black is an excellent option.
3. A dressy cocktail suit is also a safe bet.
4. Sequins and beads are to be avoided if the wedding is a formal one.
5. Darker colors would help present your self in a more sophisticated way.


For the 40+ men:-

1. For a semi-formal or casual wedding, slacks coupled with blazer and a matching tie can be sported.
2. Suits in dark colors are always accepted and most preferred.

# FOR THE FORMAL WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. A gorgeous cocktail dress touching the floor.


For the 40+ men:-

1. The dress should be really formal.
2. Tuxedo is the best option for such an occasion.


WHAT NOT TO WEAR!

- Anything too revealing and sexy.
- A dark colored outfit for a morning wedding.
- White should be dissuaded. Especially, a white colored outfit without any prints. This is because; it would steal the limelight away from the bride.
- Jeans
- Tattered and tainted dress must not be worn.
- Too small or too big dresses are also out of question.
- If the wedding is a religious one, sleeveless and strapless dresses are to be avoided. Bare shoulders have to be covered.

SUITABLE ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING GUESTS:-

-Punctuality is vital. It is necessary to be present in the venue of the wedding at least fifteen minutes before the start of the ceremonies so that there is enough time to find a seat and settle down.
- Purity of the wedding has to be preserved. Guests should avoid clicking pictures. They should rather let the photographers do their task properly.
- Gifts need not be brought to the venue of the wedding. They can rather be delivered to the house of the couple anytime within one year from the date of wedding.
- In case of failure to make it to the wedding, the gift becomes an essential.
- Bringing uninvited guest is considered discourteous. Bringing is permitted only if it has been mentioned in the invite.
- Getting drunk at a wedding reception is disrespectful and offensive.
- Unwanted mingling with people you hardly know should also be avoided.

Give The Bride And Groom A Personal Wedding Web Page

By IPRWire Staff Writer

Do you know someone who is getting married? If you do, you need to start thinking about the perfect bridal gift. What will make the couple’s upcoming event easier to plan? Is there something you can give them to help them with the nuptial details? Yes, there is. Consider buying the couple a personal wedding web page!

This is not your traditional crystal candlestick gift. You know the couple will receive plenty of these from other friends and family members. But, if you really want to give them a special gift that they can treasure for many years, a website is the way to go!

Why is a website such a great gift? First, many couples do not consider building a website for two reasons. One reason is that they are so busy planning the details of their ceremony, they do not have time to look into the various options to find the best company. Second, they are trying to save money, and, in their minds, a website is not a necessity. You can show them how wrong they are when you buy them their website. The site allows the couple to post important information as well as personal stories about themselves and photos.

The trick is finding the right company that will allow the couple to create a personal wedding web page without a lot of time and effort. As you already know, their time is valuable, and the big day is approaching quickly. Look for a company that offers the couple easy-to-use, ready-to-go templates for their site. Also, find a company that unique, quality template options, so that your couple can create a one-of-a-kind site.

Next, find a website that will make planning easier. With the right company, your gift will allow the couple to keep track of their RSVP responses more efficiently, plan their bridal budget with online calculators and advice, and prepare for the big day with essential checklists. Many couples find that after they have their personal wedding web page, they do not know how they survived without it.

Finally, find a website design company that allows their web pages to be used as keepsakes. Your couple can keep their website up long after the ceremony, going back to enjoy the memories captured in pictures, videos, and guest book comments. They may even decide to have the photo albums and guest books burned onto a CD to help them keep the memories alive throughout their marriage. This keepsake is the most precious gift you could give a married couple.

What To Keep In Mind When Asking For Help in Choosing A Wedding Favor

Are you starting to feel a little stressed about your wedding? With the number of details that go into planning a wedding you wonder why more people don't just run off and elope. One detail you can delegate is choosing the wedding favor. Here are a few ideas on how to do that.

You may feel you have so many details to attend to including choosing the right caterer, what type of centerpieces are going to be on the table, who's going to be the ushers, where is the wedding going to be held, where is everybody coming in from out of town going to stay, and so on. There are just so many details that it is almost overwhelming.

One thing I'm sure is you have gotten good at is making lists. Here are a few ideas you can write down before you ask for help choosing the favors for your wedding guests.

1. First of all, if you're going to ask somebody to help you choose wedding favors you want to pick a family member or very close friend that you can trust.

2. Try and research online as much as possible.

3. If it's really someone you can trust, you might even allow them full rein on choosing the right favor for your wedding. Of course you have final say once all of the preliminary details have been looked at.

4. No matter who you choose you want to make sure everyone knows your budget. You want to have a definite number that you do not want to go over. This could include a minimum and a maximum with maybe a goal of landing somewhere in the middle.

For example let's say that your budget is $1500, but you would prefer to spend around a $1000. They may come up with wedding favors for your wedding that end up costing you $1250 which is less than your budgeted amount.

6. It could be helpful to both of you that the person you are going to let choose your favors knows little bit about your personal tastes and what you're looking for. You may want to do a little bit of preliminary research and steer them towards a specific website with some ideas that they can look at before you sit down with them to make a final decision.

7. One final thing to be sure of is that they're aware of the total number of guests that will be coming to your to your wedding. You obviously don't want to come up shorthanded and have more guests than wedding favors.

If you're not sure how many people will be showing up then try and err on the side of caution. By that I mean, if you are unsure on the number of guests that will be attending try and have a few extra on hand if you can still keep the total under your budgeted amount.

Hopefully his article will give you some ideas of ways you can take some of the stress off of yourself. By choosing someone to help you find a wedding favor for you upcoming wedding it will give you one less thing you have to deal with yourself.

Take The Cake At Your Next Bridal Shower

By Stephanie Smith

Celebrating your best friend and her upcoming wedding is one of the most time honored traditions for you and the entire bridal party. And though the bridal shower will be picture perfect when you are done, there is a lot of work that goes into achieving that perfection. There are the invitations, (and don't forget the recipe or advice cards), the house cleaning, the decorating, and of course the menu. Throw a little fun and creativity into the party by making the bridal shower cake yourself. Home made, home designed and home decorated cakes are sure to be the talk of your party!

Bridal shower cake ideas should be carefully thought through before making any decision. Depending on the tastes of the lucky couple, you will either need an extraordinary cake that is highly decorated or a simple and smaller cake, if the couple is celebrating with an intimate group. Keep in mind that it's the couple that should be satisfied with your decision.

You'll then want to think about decorating your bridal shower, and the cake is a big part of that. Bridal shower cakes come in all kinds of different themes. Some are more romantic, featuring traditional symbols of marriage such as flowers and bells. Others feature unique themes - these can be almost anything you can think of. Often they can be personalized.

Once you know how you want the cake decorated, you'll want to decide on what flavor to choose. This largely depends on personal preference. Do you know if the bride prefers plain yellow cake, or chocolate? How about both, or perhaps a different flavor altogether? Rest assured that there are almost as many flavors of cake as there are cake decorations! Take a look through your favorite cookbook or the baking aisle in your grocery store.

Finally, you will want to choose what size your cake is. Bridal shower cakes, needless to say, come in all different sizes. How many people will attend your shower? Did you remember to tell guests to RSVP? The more people show up, the more cake you will need - after all, everybody has to eat! Use whatever information you have to decide what size cake to buy. If you're planning a large shower, you may want to consider having more than one cake, with different flavors to accommodate different preferences.

Since you're going through the effort of purchasing or making a beautiful cake, why not also use it as the bridal shower centerpiece? You can personalize it by having names of the bride and groom written on the cake, along with the date of their wedding. Guests always want to take pictures of the cake, so give them a cake to remember.

Whatever kind of cake you choose, remember that it is not the cake that counts; it's the sentiment behind it. Bridal shower cakes are a wonderful aspect of a celebration, but the celebration truly is the best part. Don't get too stressed out in trying to choose. Remember how special the occasion is, not just for you but for the bride, the groom, and all their friends and family. Your shower will truly be memorable that way.

Jennifer Anniston's Wedding Flower Choices


Copyright © 2006-2009 Wesley Berry, AAF

The romance between Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughn certainly seems to be heating up. Are there wedding bells in the future? And, if there are, will her second wedding ceremony closely resemble her first wedding (to actor Brad Pitt) or will she head in a completely different direction? No matter what style she chooses for her wedding, Jennifer Anniston will have no difficulty finding flowers that fit any style from traditional to ultra-modern.

When Anniston married Pitt, she chose a simple bouquet comprised of vendella roses and green hydrangea bound together with a white satin ribbon. It was a gorgeous bouquet that suited Anniston's natural beauty. But, with the unfortunate demise of the union, Anniston may choose to make a second wedding as different from her first as possible.

Celebrities are often on the cutting edge of trends and often go to great lengths to throw elaborate weddings that uniquely match their personalities and styles. For example:

  • Actress Denise Richards carried a classically styled bouquet of white and ivory polo roses when she married actor Charlie Sheen.
  • Actress Debra Messing chose a tall and elegant bouquet of calla lilies.
  • Country singer LeAnn Rimes carried a fresh, fragrant, natural bouquet of roses, sweet peas, hydrangea, and freesia.

    Although celebrities often have an unlimited budget when choosing their wedding flowers, those of us who don't work in the entertainment industry usually have to mind our money matters a little more closely. However, that doesn't mean you have to give up having flowers that perfectly match your style and express your personality. You can save a bundle of money simply by choosing flowers that are in season, which still leaves you with a lot of options. A brief list of flowers in their respective seasons includes:
  • Spring Wedding: Anemone, Bells of Ireland, Boronia, Casa Blanca Lily, Daffodil, Delphinium, Hyacinth, Lilacs, Narcissus, Peony, Ranunculus, Star Gazer Lily, Sweetpea, Tulip, Waxflower.
  • Summer Wedding: Alstromeria, Bells of Ireland, Chrysanthemum, English Lavender, Forget-me-not, Freesia, Gerbera Daisy, Hydrangea, Iris, Larkspur, Liatris, Lily, Lisianthus, Matsumoto Asters, Queen Anne's Lace, Snapdragons, Solidaster, Statice, Stephanotis, Stock, Sunflower, Tuberose, Yarrow, Zinnia.
  • Fall Wedding: Aster, Chrysanthemum, Dahlia, Marigold, Statice, Zinnia, Dried Leaves.
  • Winter Wedding: Amaryllis, Anemone, Bells of Ireland, Camellias, Casa Blanca Lily, Cosmos, Daffodil, Forget-me-nots, Holly, Jasmine, Narcissus, Poinsettia, Ranunculus, Star Gazer Lily, Star of Bethlehem, Sweetpea, Tulip, Waxflower.

    With recent hit movies, Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughn probably won't need to concern themselves with which flowers are in season to help conserve money, but choosing those that are in season could help Anniston and Vaughn plan an exquisite wedding with beautiful fresh flowers.

  • Wedding Planning

    Congratulations on getting engaged! As you begin to plan your special day, you will have to make numerous decisions, many of them financial. To make those decisions easier for you during this exciting time, a budget is the best way to keep you stress-free. Here are a few things to consider as you plan your wedding.

    Decide who will be paying for the wedding. Will you be going the traditional route of the parents or father of the bride contributing to the event? If so, the father of the bride pays for everything involving the wedding except the tuxedos, groomsmen gifts, rehearsal dinner and honeymoon. Are you more of a modern bride and want to pay for the big day yourself? This can be a stressful situation on the bride and the cost should be shared by the groom or other family to lighten the burden.

    Pick a date and location. Flexibility is important to remember when selecting a date and location for your wedding. This should be done when you first begin to plan your wedding, because every decision surrounds the date and time. You won't be able to hire a photographer if you don't know the date and proximity of your wedding. Remember weddings aren't just reserved for Saturday nights anymore. It is more common in the last few years to hold a wedding on a Friday evening or Sunday afternoon. It may even be slightly cheaper in price if you chose another time other than a Saturday night.

    Make a realistic list and budget. Organization is key to having a successful budget in place. Keep all of your paperwork and information in a binder or organizer to make it easy to find things related to the wedding. A good tip on budgeting is always setting the prices a little higher than what is expected, in case things are added on at the last minute.

    Shop around. Price comparisons are crucial to getting the best deal for your wedding. Get multiple estimates from every vendor, including photography, flowers and reception halls. The lowest estimate may not always be the best vendor. If an estimate you receive is within your budget and you like them better than the lowest offer, select that one. You need to feel comfortable and happy with your selections, since they will be sharing in your special day with you. Experienced professionals that have been in the wedding industry for years will be able to meet your budget and satisfy your needs to make your wedding memorable and unique.

    Work with a wedding planner. If your budget allows, hire a wedding planner to assist you. They will be able to help with all the details and alleviate a lot of stress and worry you otherwise may experience. Can't afford a wedding planner? A family member may be able to fill that role if they're reliable and organized and willing to take on the responsibility of helping you plan your day. They will also be a good sounding board for ideas you may have and it will be fun to have someone close to you share in the planning of your wedding. Utilize them to help with all the planning stages, or just one or two, whatever you need assistance with. They'll be happy to help and you'll be a little less stressed.

    Have fun! Remember it is your wedding and you should enjoy the day. If something doesn't go exactly as planned, don't worry. It's your special day and it will be fabulous no matter what! Keep in mind these tips to ensure you have a smooth wedding planning process. Good luck!

    Nostalgic Christmas Wedding Favors

    Beverly Clark Eatable Favors Style 67YMO

    By Joe Palladino

    The best times to celebrate with family are on days that are really special to you and require a lot of planning and time to make them perfect. Your wedding is one of those days and if you combine it with the feeling of the holiday season then everyone will really understand the love that you feel.

    You will be able to bring a kind of warmth to your reception that will make everyone feel really close together. The great thing is that there are a lot of different feelings all coming together in this celebration because you will be drawing from decorations that make everyone feel good and really feel like they are in the middle of the season right there with you. The snow of w inter can be a great thing to add in to your decorations especially since the wedding dress is white and glitter and the bride will look like a shining snowflake. Christmas time is the time for celebrating family and good fortune in light of the coming New Year and your wedding is the start of the rest of your life together with your new spouse.

    This is a great link between the two celebrations and you can really play off of this with your decorations. Your guests will definitely remember the night and the memories they made there for the rest of their lives because you gave them a truly unique experience. Here are a couple examples of wedding favors that you can use to incorporate this classic theme into your reception.

    Double Hearts Design Christmas Ornament:

    This is great because it really gives that ultimate combination of love and holiday feeling for all of your guests. This will conjure images of decorating the Christmas tree, wrapping presents, and eating a warm meal with all of your relatives. It is strange how similar your wedding reception process will be -- you will have to plan everything, decorate the hall, find gifts for your guests, and you will share a fantastic meal with everyone with a celebratory air the whole time. So, inspire the feeling of the holidays with these stunning wedding favors.

    24 Silver Bells Box:

    These come right out of a fantastic Christmas song and all your guests will recognize their beauty as soon as they walk into the dining hall. The tradition of ringing the bells for a toast or a kiss between the bride and groom is basically packaged in a box for you with this wedding favor so that you can just set them out and have your guests enjoy them. The bells have a little message attached to them that gives your guests the instructions about how they should use the silver bells to call for a toast or a kiss. You can even try making a personal message for these and writing it on the back of the message that is already there so that they will be even more personal and meaningful for each and every single one of your valued guests.
