If you’re considering using candles at your next wedding and don’t know what type of candles to get, I’d recommend soy candles. Nohm Candles offers a great selection of soy candles to choose from. Here’s a little bit from the site:
We are a mother and daughter operation that began making soy candles 3 years ago after learning of the dangers of burning paraffin candles. We wanted our candles to be healthy for both you and the environment! After trying many different combinations of waxes, essential oils and pure fragrances, we have found the right combination of ingredients that yield amazing candles!!
How about having fountain wedding cakes on your wedding! Sounds good! So why not to go ahead with the idea and choose any one wedding cake recipe and you can have your wedding cakes in a manner which no one has gone about. All you have to do is close your eyes and imagine a cake with a fountain. Then open your eyes and put it into reality. Add the flavor of your or your partner’s choice and choose some decorations on the cake out of the many available in the market. Isn’t that simple!
With all the expenses related to getting married adding up, it can be easy to put the wedding rehearsal off to the side as an unnecessary expense. But that’s not always a wise decision. Too many things can go wrong and a simple rehearsal, even if it’s not at the wedding site, is an amazing insurance policy for the next day.
It’s a common thought that the smaller the wedding ceremony the less need there is for a rehearsal. Everyone likes to think that their friends and family can all handle the details about a small wedding in which they’ve all seen a dozen times.
When you think about the few days of your life that will be memorialized forever in photos and video, your wedding day is, of course, at the top of the list. So, naturally you want everything about your appearance to be perfect for that special day. This includes your dress, your makeup, your accessories, your jewelry, and - maybe most of all - your hair.
Sometimes in the midst of planning their wedding, impressionable couples can have a tough time sorting out the good ideas from the bad. Just because you have seen something done at another wedding does not necessarily mean that is is okay to include at your own. Ten tacky things to avoid are:
1. A dollar dance with the bride. I don’t care how many times you have seen this done, it is never acceptable. And no, you should not have a “money tree” either.
If you’re having a bachelorette party, make sure to stand out from the crowd and where a sash. You gals love to do these types of things. My buddies girlfriend is the co-owner of Sassy Sash, a Huntington Beach custom sash company. They make muy excellente sashes for all sorts of occasions…including Bachelorette parties!
If you aren’t having a party and don’t need a bachelorette sash, they have a whole host of sashes, with the ability to create your own custom sashes, including
Music. It has the power to inspire the guests at your wedding reception to get out on the dance floor and boogie. It has the power to make your first dance as husband and wife emotional and unforgettable. It can be used to set a quiet, romantic mood during dinner and to create memorable moments on the dance floor that your guests will recall for years to come.
So choosing the person or people who create the soundtrack for one of the biggest moments in your life is an important decision. Music can make or break a party, and you need to find performers who understand that, whether they are DJs or bandleaders.
Nowadays, people tend to get married a little bit older, with a more important and well-controlled budget. On the wedding night, the loss of virginity is no longer the turning point of their first night as a married couple. On this special night where everything, from A to Z, has been planned for months, if not years, women should aim for a unique and memorable set-up. Their mission is to re-enact their first ever love scene together. That is where sensual lingerie comes into play.
For a wedding consultant it’s always a treat to work with a bride and groom who break from tradition and plan something totally unique for their big day. It’s especially nice when their individuality also helps the environment and raises awareness for eco-friendly weddings.
Earlier this year, I was asked to design an eco-friendly wedding for NBC’s popular daytime drama, Days of Our Lives (Sami and Lucas’ “green” wedding.) I used locally grown and environmentally friendly flowers including California roses and potted flowering plants. By using locally grown flowers, the pollution created in transport along with the pesticides used to treat the flowers, were significantly cut down. In keeping with the eco-friendly theme, the potted plants used in the ceremony were transferred to the reception hall and immediately planted afterwards. This is not only eco-friendly but cost-effective and you can do it too.
