Wedding Cake Designs

Vintage Wedding Cake Toppers

Vintage Wedding Cake Toppers

The phrase wedding cake conjures up an image of a three-layered white cake with plastic figurines of the bride and groom perched on top. But that is now passé. Wedding cakes are going through a fashion makeover and new styles and designs are in vogue. With the help of a talented cake designer, there is no limit to how unique wedding cakes can be.

These days, flowers intertwined with a delicate icing are very popular. If you have a favorite flower, it can be used as the main focus of the cake’s design. You may want the flowers of your bridesmaids duplicated on the cake or the flowers in your bridal bouquet. Any talented cake designer should be able to create a beautiful cake with this design in mind. Just make sure you bring along samples of your flowers when you meet with the baker.

The color scheme of your wedding can also be incorporated into a wedding cake. You can even request that a designer try to emulate the design and style of your wedding gown into your cake. Depending on the season, your cake designer can whip up fabulous wedding cakes with snowflakes and icicles for winter, chrysanthemums, and autumn colored leaves for fall, daisies and raindrops for spring and tulips and roses for summer. Thinking in terms of fun and creativity will help achieve unique and wonderful results.

Whatever type of cake you desire, discuss your thoughts with several cake designers to ensure that what you want is what you get. If you’re not sure, let the designer give you ideas. Guaranteed they will have many wonderful suggestions.

How to Design a Wedding with WOW! Appeal

Find hundreds of elegant and unusual wedding and bridal shower favors at MyWeddingFavors.com - 100% guaranteed low price!

That Certain Something!

For guests invited to your wedding, it will only be those things that made them say, “Wow!” that they will remember. Whether, it is the flowers, lighting, music and location, the thing that made them gasp are the things that will be remembered. So now, you have to think about those things that can be done so you can steal your guests’ breath away.

David Beahm designed the venue for Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. This was the most talked about wedding for that year. David knew the Plaza as a venue came with a certain level of grandeur by attending guests. He fed on this anticipation by focusing additional attention where guests would have to gather to go into the main wedding hall.

However, the focus of David’s efforts for impact and ‘wow’ appeal lay behind the entrance to the ceremony room. According to David, “Once people passed security, and ascended the beautifully decorated staircase, turned the corner and saw a huge, 20-foot wide tree adorned with guest cards hanging from beautiful ribbons. It was a real conversation piece, an immediate ice-breaker.”

What Can You Do?

Initially, you should consider focusing your attention on those areas of your ceremony and reception venue that will be frequented the most by your guests. When you have identified these areas, then you can decide how exactly you want to design these areas so it can have a lasting impression on your guests.

True drama is guaranteed to leave an impression. For those who did not know, taking risks is all a part of creating great drama. Step outside of your comfort zone and get creative.

Be Creative in Design…

There are several techniques that can be incorporated into your design concept. Wedding designers utilize various creative techniques in lighting, candles, and flowers. Note also, that any wedding designer should aim to create a centrepiece that oozes with drama.

Designing for ‘wow’ appeal on a limited budget can be challenging, but with careful planning and creativity, wowing your guests is definitely a possibility. Go back to that abandoned public beach that you frequented as a couple when you first met. Now line it with Chinese lanterns gracefully hung on bamboo poles. There, you have just successfully created a romantic visual display of stimulating swaying lights, a guaranteed ‘wow’ factor, and, best yet, the location is available to you free of cost.

Whatever your location of choice turns out to be, try to instigate levels of curiosity in your design. Make your guests wonder continuously, “What’s next!”

…And Timing

Delay the entrance to the main ceremony area. Creating a long winding romantically lighted trail in a tranquil natural setting can do this. Ensure that you have taken the time to select music that creates and compliments the ambience of your wedding. Do not overlook this important information. Do your research, and check out individual references you receive.

Finally, when all is said and done and you have planned your design, create it and sit back and enjoy the celebrations. You will hear about the ‘wow’ factors of your wedding for many years to come.

The Bridal Registry ~ A Beginners Guide

Free shipping offered at LuggageGuy.com on designer luggage. Guaranteed lowest prices. Save up to 75% off retail! Visit us today.

A bridal registry is a service offered by department stores to newlywed couples. This is a system that allows a couple to manage and keep track of the purchases of gifts for their wedding.

A Chicago-founded department store pioneered the institution of offering bridal registries as a service for newlywed couples. Since then, the concept has turned into a popular service of many department stores. This service is also offered by large home-improvement retailers.

The bridal registry begins with a list of items the couple wishes to receive as wedding gifts, made from the items available in the participating stores. This list is then provided to their wedding guests.

There are different ways of implementing this service that allow participating stores to provide the couple’s wish list to their guests and to assure effective management of the wedding gifts. Some registries track more details than others.

Each participating department store updates its list as a gift is purchased, and the item is then removed from the couple’s wish list. This prevents the guests from giving the couple more than one of the items on the list.

Bridal registries can be greatly efficient for the couple to be married. It is also convenient for guests who usually have a difficult time making a decision about what to buy for the newlyweds.

Bridal registries, though very popular, are not always well-received. Some people perceive it as a modern practice done in bad taste. This is especially true when it comes to older, more traditional guests. Soliciting gifts negates the traditional notions on gift-giving that many people still value so dearly.

The use of bridal registries also does away with some traditional gift-giving concepts such as “being thankful for whatever you receive” and the surprise element, which many still enjoy. Moreover, many people view bridal registries as a type of competition because prices of the presents are known. This also has led to the more controversial practice of couples asking guests to give money instead of presents.

Preparing for Remarriage ~ Only the Bravest Need Apply

As the wedding date draws near, the reality of the decision you are about to make becomes clearer. Not only are you marrying this person, whom you love, but you are also inheriting their children. This is the beginning of a stepfamily.

What you need to be prepared for is that stepfamilies are busy! There are many people with many schedules, heading in many directions. Life gets hectic. That is a reality. Determination is a necessary ingredient to make them succeed.

As a couple you will need to be determined to carve out time together and then follow through on it. Many obstacles will get in the way. This is a new marriage after all, and you do require time to be together and grow as a married couple. Maintaining that relationship as well as helping it to mature needs to be a priority or the entire family will disintegrate.

You must also be determined to show your children that you have not forgotten them. Make time to carve out with them as well. I don’t just mean as a big happy family. I mean you and your kids only. It’s not unusual for biological families to split up and do different things together. A mom and daughter may go shopping while the father and son go to a football game. You don’t always have to include your new spouse or the entire stepfamily. In fact, at the beginning of a stepfamily this type of separation is essential. A solid stepfamily is developed over time, not instantly created after the wedding. As time passes and everyone grows closer together, more shared activities are developed and will be accepted.

Sound exhausting? Sure it does! That’s a lot of needs to meet. We haven’t even discussed your own! While it is a lot of effort, the rewards will include a strong, healthy marriage which will help stabilize your stepfamily as it continues to grow and mature.

You are having a wedding and you are in the final stages of the planning process. You need to find wedding favors for your guests and you love the color pink. Well what a better way to reflect your personality and love for the color pink then to choose pink wedding favors. You should buy these for the lady guests in your wedding because they are more female related and pink wedding favors are usually not suited for guys. Below I have put together a list of some of the more popular pink wedding favors.

Heart mini soap with heart tag

Perfectly palm-sized and pleasantly scented, these miniature heart soaps are a fantastic way to thank your guests. Each heart-shaped soap is finely textured and presented in a pretty ‘nest’ of delicate white paper thread. Each gift box measures approximately 2 inches x 2 inches and is tied with pretty sheer organza ribbon. Available in white/silver or pink/white. This is a nice relatively inexpensive way to thank your guests plus you can buy a white and silver one for the guys.

Sweet heart bath confetti

This confetti starts out as handfuls of sweet pink hearts which melt into a hot rose-scented bath. Heaven! Each favor is packaged in a prettily-printed standing envelope that says “Thank You” and tied with a sheer organza ribbon. Envelope measures approximately 4”x4”. Choose from white confetti in a silver and white envelope or pink confetti in a pink and silver envelope. You can choose the white in silver for the guys and pink for the ladies.

Travel in style leather heart luggage tag

These upscale, detailed heart-shaped genuine leather luggage tags are incredibly unique and very functional. Matching thread double stitch trim, double heart imprint on the back of the tag…these tags are loaded with elegant detail! Use these as placeholders at your guests tables and later guests can fill out the included lined card with areas for Name, Address and Phone Number. Available in burgundy, pink or black, with the heart measuring approximately 2.5 inches across, and a 2 inch buckled strap. This one is great because it doubles as a place card holder.

These are just a few of the very many pink wedding favors that you could choose for your wedding guests. So just browse around the many different retailers until you find the perfect favors for you.

Wedding Loans ~ Specialized Loans For Special Weddings

Budget Stretched Thin? Apply for cash today.

“Marriage is an authentic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity–everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul”

This is how Thomas Moore describes the word wedding. Your perceptions about wedding may be similar or different to the one held by Thomas Moore. For some, wedding may mean a time for celebration, as they will be marrying the person they have chosen. You would definitely wish to celebrate it in the best possible manner filled with pomp and show.

Wedding is the biggest day of your life. You want the day to be perfect. Earlier, the parents used to bear the entire expenses of their children’s marriage. However, time has changed, now more and more couples are themselves taking up this task. Couples who are earning may not have enough savings to finance their wedding. Wedding loans can help you find the funds you have been looking for to finance wedding.

Wedding loan is a specialized loan that aims to cater to the borrowers who need finance for organizing weddings or meeting payments of a wedding already held. Wedding loan works as a wedding financer, it offers fixed sum to borrowers to meet their wedding expenses. Majority of the couples incur expenses on wedding photography, wedding dress and bridal wear, reception, wedding cake etc.

Wedding loans give you the option to borrow either a secured or an unsecured wedding loan. A secured wedding loan requires a borrower to put a collateral such as car, house or savings account against the loan. Unsecured wedding loan is not secured by any collateral of the borrower. Unsecured wedding loan offers borrowers to borrow as low as £250 to a maximum of £25,000. Unsecured loan is best suited for tenants who do not have any collateral to put as a security. Homeowners can enjoy the benefits of both secured and unsecured wedding loan. Couple can use the money for whatever they choose.

Wedding planning is an important aspect you need to focus on before you decide which loan to take. You can enlist the help of any friends and family members to assist you with wedding planning. It will be helpful if you do wedding planning well ahead of the wedding day. Planning a wedding can help you in determining what expenses will be incurred.

The repayment period of a wedding loan is spread over a period of 5 to 10 years that makes it easier for borrowers to repay the loan. Planning for the repayment term with the wedding plan can be helpful. Wedding loan offers various repayment options. You can choose the one that you find the most appropriate and suitable. Keep the wedding expenses in control, as you have to bear the loan burden on your own.

Applying for a wedding loan online is the most convenient option available. Taking an online loan can help saving both the time and efforts of the borrower. You are just required to fill up a simple and short application form online. Online lenders will provide you with the loan decision within 24 hours or take a maximum of 72 hours. When shopping for a loan, always judge it by the total cost of the loan and not just the monthly payment. Collect various loan quotes from various lenders, which are available free of cost or for nominal fees. Make a thorough comparison between the various loan quotes and choose the one that you find most suitable matching your expectations and needs. Be sure to read contracts carefully, and be certain that you understand the terms. It become easier to get a loan when you have a good credit score. However, people with bad credit history can also get a wedding loan.

Wedding loans accompanied with a bit of innovative thinking, creativity and effort can help you make exquisite weddings, which remains the talk of the town for the next few weeks!

How To Make Your Perfume Last on Your Wedding Day

FragranceX.com Large Banner
 
Perfume can be defined as a woman’s signature. We have all worn it at one time or another. Many of us won’t leave home without a quick spray or a dab. But when you are getting married, for that very special day, what perfume will you choose to wear and how can you make it last the day?

Will you choose something that you always wear, or are you prepared to try something different, perhaps a romantic scent? Read on to find out how you can create your signature scent to see you through the entire day.

There are some gorgeous perfumes available, take some time to try a few and find the one that is right for you. You could even make a day of it. Grab a couple of girlfriends and visit your favourite department store, together you can have a play around with many of the fragrances. It is probably worth doing a couple of times, as different weather or different seasons might change your mood. Some of the romantic scents you might like to try include:-

  • Cartier so Pretty
  • Guerlain Shalimar
  • Christian Dior J’Adore
  • Lancome Poeme
  • Estee Lauder Beautiful
  • Yves Saint Laurent Paris
  • Thierry Mugle Angel
  • Calvin Klein’s Eternity

Once you have selected your scent, you will need to invest in three things, the bath/shower gel or soap, the body lotion and the perfume itself. Together, they will be magnificent and create your signature scent for your wedding day.

When organizing your wedding, make sure you allocate yourself time in the morning for a small amount of self pampering, before you have your hair and makeup done. Plan a little time to luxuriate in a nice warm bath or stand under a warm running shower. Close your eyes and feel the warmth of the water on your skin, close your mind to all the noise and activity around you for just a moment. Then reach for the wash cloth soaked with your bath gel, inhale its beautiful perfume and then lather yourself from chin to toes, creating the first layer of your signature.

When you have finished your bath or shower, pat yourself dry with a beautifully thick bath towel and whilst your pores are still open, apply the next layer of your perfume, the body lotion. Using it as your moisturiser apply it all over, including neck, arms, legs, torso and even your feet. Now with the foundation set you are ready to meet the rest of the challenges of getting ready.

Last but not least the perfume. You should plan to put this on no less than 10 minutes before you slip on your dress, to give your perfume enough time to absorb into the skin and dry on the surface. You DON’T want to stain your dress! Spray or dab the perfume on all your pulse zones, behind your ears, on your neck, behind your knees and on your wrists. Do not rub the perfume in, as this will bruise the scent. Just put it on and give it time to dry. With the final layer done, your signature scent is ready!

This will probably last you the entire day and through the evening, but if you wish to freshen up a little, plan to dab on a wee extra just before your reception.
