8/8/08 - Next Year’s Big Wedding Day

July 30th, 2007 by Debbie

Wedding experts are predicting that the next big wedding day will by August 8, 2008. Unfortuantely, this “lucky” day falls on a Friday. Although in cities like New York, Fridays have become a popular wedding day, but this trend has yet to catch on for the rest of the country. (I’m sure that one of the reasons 7/7/07 was so popular was because it actually fell on a Saturday.)

One reason for picking 8-8-08 is because it’s easy to remember. I’m surprised at how many couples I’ve talked to say they picked their wedding date because it would be easy to remember their future anniversaries. (Like the 4th of July.)

Only time will tell if 8-8-08 gains popularity with engaged couples the way that 7/7/07 did.

Something Borrowed Something Blue

July 20th, 2007 by Debbie

Something borrowed, something blue.  Most brides know the saying and some brides even stress out trying to find an item for each. But selecting these four good luck items to carry should be fun and not a source of stress. If you think about it, you may already have all the items you need. Something old is easy, perhaps a piece of jewelry from your great-grandmother. Something new, take your pick. You’ll have lots of new stuff for your wedding including your dress so that shouldn’t be so hard. Something borrowed, again, not so hard. There must be some item of your best friend or sister that you’d like to borrow for the day. Finding something blue may be a little tougher so here are a few ideas for the something blue for your wedding.

Most brides wear a garter on their wedding day so why not wear a something blue bridal garter? A white lace garter with a small blue flower and bow or a blue embroidered lace garter is a perfect way to wear something blue.

A hanky is another item that can have a bit of blue trim and act as your something blue. The hanky can be discreetly tucked into a bouquet or it can be carried in a purse.

So, don’t sweat the something blue or borrowed, old or new. Have fun choosing the items and you’re sure to have good luck.

Enchanting Winter Wedding Themes

July 11th, 2007 by Debbie

Summertime leads the way when it comes to most popular season of the year for weddings but winter weddings are gaining popularity.  Whether you’d like to have a winter wedding theme with snowflakes and icy accents or Christmas wedding theme with rich velvet accents there are many ways to bring the colors and feel of the season to your wedding.

A blue and white color scheme is great for a Hanukkah or winter time wedding held at a lodge or mountain resort.  Blue and white pairs really well with silver too and design details in those colors on items like toasting flutes really sparkle. A snowflake cake top, reminiscent of glistening white snow and glacier blue, also carries on the icy, glistening look. Top the night off with a winter wedding favor like a silver snowflake wine stopper that guests will love.

A Christmas wedding theme is also popular.  Most churches are decorated with wreaths, holly branches, pine trees, bows and lights during the holiday season so you can take advantage of the decorations. Hold your reception in a historic mansion with a roaring fire, strolling carolers and rich crimson red velvet accessories and bring the warmth of the holiday to your wedding.

Wedding Handkerchiefs for Brides and More

July 6th, 2007 by Debbie

Wedding days are full of emotion and there’s sure to be a few tears of joy shed.  A wedding handkerchief is a great item for not only the bride to carry but also for the mothers of the bride and groom and bridal party to have on hand for those teary eyed moments.

Bride handkerchiefs can be embroidered or have lace trim and styles vary from one hanky to another.  Types of embroidery can be as simple as a monogram or intricately detailed stitches and patterns with colorful threads.  Hankies with lace trim can have lightweight floral lace or delicate designs where the lace looks like small white pearls.

An Irish linen handkerchief may have one corner fancifully decorated in white lace on a white hanky while another hanky can have an embroidered design like a butterfly, daisy or fall maple leaves in colorful threads that tie into a seasonal wedding, perfect for spring or fall.

Lace trimmed hankies can be personalized with an embroidered name, wedding date or monogram. By choosing a blue thread for the embroidery, the bride’s hanky suddenly becomes the something blue at the wedding. 

A mother of bride handkerchief or father of bride handkerchief makes a great gift too.  These hankies come with a thoughtful note of appreciation for your parents support and love through the years.

There are even wedding handkerchiefs for all the special people in your wedding party, including bridemaids, maid of honor, sister, friend and more.  Many of these cards come with a card with a special note for that special person.

Wedding handkerchiefs are not only for brides.  They make a great gift, baby bonnet, and keepsake after the wedding too.

Rent a Wedding Cake?!

July 3rd, 2007 by Debbie

Here’s a new concept I recently came across - renting your wedding cake.  A baker in Michigan came up with idea after meeting many brides at a wedding show that were interested in a fake cake!  When exhibiting at bridal shows, most bakers will bring in styrofoam cakes - where they take styrofoam and decorate it to look like a cake. 

Here are a few of the cakes you can rent:

They’ll even work with you to create a cake deesigned specifically for you.

For more information about renting a wedding cake, you can visit their web site: http://cakerental.com
