There was a time, not too many years ago, when having a wedding cake without a wedding cake topper was unthinkable. Back then toppers ranged from quaint to cute and beyond to wild. Most wedding cake toppers in that era were made of plastic, though they certainly weren’t limited to plastic. In fact, artisans from a wide variety of backgrounds often made wedding cake toppers to order, often coming up with stunning works of art to crown the artistic masterpiece that is your wedding cake.

Today, wedding cake toppers tend to be more limited and it is not uncommon to find a wedding cake without a special topper. Why? There are probably quite a few correct answers but ultimately, I would like to suggest, it comes down to a matter of tastefulness. Simply put, placing a piece of art on top of another (and much bigger) piece of art runs the risk of diminishing both the wedding cake and the wedding cake topper.

Because of this, today’s bride often chooses for a simpler wedding cake topper. Often it’s fresh flowers. Sometimes the bride chooses to skip the wedding cake topper all together and thereby let the cake stand alone. Sometimes the wedding cake topper is something the bride commissions the pastry chef to create out of royal icing, fondant, or gum paste to ensure that the wedding cake topper is integrated into the artistic design of the wedding cake (After all, second only to you and your husband, it is the centerpiece of your reception). Another option, which is gaining in popularity, is to use the couple’s first initials in silver monograms sitting atop the cake as the proverbial wedding cake topper.

Regardless of what you choose, brushed silver monograms, fresh flowers, a gum paste flower or bow, or some beautiful or whimsical creation, take the time to ensure that your wedding cake topper is the perfect finishing touch for the wedding cake you’ve commissioned. The artisan that is your pastry chef should be able to help you – and you’ll be glad you made the effort.

All grooms go through it: the anxiety, the fear, the waves of nausea as you think, “Do I really, really know what I’m getting into?”

Getting cold feet doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not 100% in love with your bride-to-be. It’s a normal response to the realization that you’re about to go through a major life change. Some men worry that they won’t be able to support a family; others look at the responsibilities ahead and wonder if that means they’ll never be able to hang out with the gang. But most of them say, after the wedding and even well into their marriage, “It’s not as bad as you imagine it to be.” Those responsibilities? You share them. That’s what being a couple is about. And you’ll still be able to see your friends. You’re getting married, not getting locked in a prison.

The most important thing you need to do is to put things into perspective. Talk about your fears with your fiance, if you have to, but a lot of it is about affirming how much you love your fiance, and why you proposed to her in the first place.

Maybe it’s time you scheduled some “couple time” together – a romantic getaway. You’ll be able to emotionally reconnect again (you may have been distracted by the many details of planning a wedding). It will also let you de-stress. Those panic attacks you get in the middle of the night have also been triggered by the demands of negotiating with suppliers, fleshing out the guest list, deciding whether or not you’ll get a string quartet or a soloist.

Take a break from it all, and let yourself fall in love all over again. That’s what the wedding is about, after all.

Weddings are a wonderful time. For you, the bride and groom, it is a time to celebrate love and finding the person with whom you will live happily ever after. For your family, this may be a chance to renew ties and have a reunion. For your friends, it’s a chance to party! It is an exciting and happy time for everyone.

The reception is meant to be a time to let the joy sill over so why not plan some activities and entertainment to make it even more fun. For example, in some countries, the single ladies avoid catching the bouquet so the bride doesn’t do the bouquet toss. The ladies are all gathered and asked to form a ring and a bunch of flowers, usually roses, are passed around in time to music. When the song is stopped, the ladies are asked to check if their flower is the one with a special tag or marking. That lady is given the bouquet.

For couples who love to dance, why not have a really good big band play. It’s wonderful to have musicians who can croon you the sweetest love songs and who can also get everyone’s feet tapping to the beat. Your wedding planner is sure to have a list of performers who can get your guests in the mood.

You may also have some family traditions that can keep the celebration swinging. Bring out those dances that can be easily taught and will be a new experience for some of the guests. Reels and line dances are fun to watch and even more enjoyable to do. Get everyone into the groove!

Now you’ve decided you want to get married in Las Vegas, it’s time to choose the right Las Vegas hotel wedding chapel. With so many chapels available, you’re spoilt for choice. So which one do you choose?

Location. Do you want to get married in a Strip hotel, off-Strip hotel or downtown? Where is your favorite location in Las Vegas? For a lot of people, it’s the Strip, as this is where most of the fancy hotel casinos are located and it’s not that hard to visit most of the hotels via walkways, trolleys, bus or even old fashioned walking.

Trust your instincts. If one wedding chapel appeals to you more than the others you’re viewing, put that one at the top of your list. If you have a good feeling about a particular chapel, then you’re on the right track.

Thoroughly research each Las Vegas hotel wedding chapel you’re considering. Make sure the venue you choose has all the amenities you need. You don’t want to be disappointed on your wedding day.

How big will your wedding be? Choose the venue that fits the size of your wedding party. For example, if your wedding party will consist of ten people, you wouldn’t want to hire a 200 person chapel. Make sure you know exactly how many people will be attending at your wedding before you book the chapel.

Cost. A small, intimate wedding will generally cost less than a big, fancy wedding. How much money do you want to spend? Will you be happy with a smaller, less expensive wedding or do you want to go the whole hog and invite practically the whole world?

Reception. Do you want to find a venue that also includes a reception after the ceremony, or would you rather hold the reception/wedding meal somewhere else? There are so many places to choose from in Las Vegas that it can be hard to decide what to do. If you’re having a small wedding you could have the ceremony in a Las Vegas hotel wedding chapel and then go on to a fancy restaurant for the wedding meal. The restaurant may even be in the same hotel.

Wedding Cake. Don’t forget to organize the wedding cake! Some chapels may be able to organize this for you. Don’t forget this detail when planning your wedding.

Transportation. Make sure you know how to get to the wedding chapel from your Las Vegas accommodation before your big day if you’re staying somewhere else. Are you going to rent a car to get there or go by taxi or limousine? You don’t want to arrive late to the chapel on your wedding day or get stressed about not being able to find the way to the wedding chapel.

By now you’ve probably thought of some questions of your own. Great! Just be sure to plan properly and you should have a great wedding. Viva Las Vegas!

Nothing says hope for the future more than a garden wedding in spring or early summer when the blossoms decorate the trees and new growth is all around you. It’s an idyllic setting. You and your groom in a freshly painted white gazebo with your pastor, priest, or rabbi, and all of your dearest loved ones sitting in crisp white chairs on a manicured lawn. Afterwards your picturesque garden wedding transforms itself into a grand reception where you and your loved ones can celebrate your new life as husband and wife.

Garden weddings and the reception that follows are a beautiful way to start your new life together. What could be better than to celebrate your marriage against the backdrop of the beauty of creation? Imagine all of the flowers decorating your wedding location so fresh they are still growing!

But what if you don’t have access to an idyllic garden setting to hold your wedding? Doesn’t that rule out a wedding in a garden?

Not necessarily.

If you’re like most people, you’re going to spend a lot of money on your wedding with little tangible to show for it when it’s over. Yes, hopefully you will have a great marriage and yes, you will have your wedding photographs, but what if most of the money you spend on your flowers could give you years worth of flowers? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to walk among those same flowers with your husband routinely as your romance grows through the years?

What I am suggesting is this: Take a significant portion of the money that you would have spent on a location rental and most of the wedding flowers and invest it in developing your own backyard wedding grounds. Build a gazebo for your wedding ceremony and years of sitting with the one you love and enjoying the memories of your wedding day.

Make a party of it. Have your friends over to build a wedding gazebo and plant flowers that will be in bloom for your wedding in freshly contoured flower beds around a party lawn. Turn your old backyard into a sparkling fresh wedding scene.

You don’t have a house? Maybe Mom and Dad do. Maybe you can turn their backyard into that picture perfect garden location for your wedding and many years of visits to come.

The music and entertainment at your wedding reception should be organized based on the ages, tastes, and preferences of the guest who will be in attendance. And, depending on the type of reception you want to have, you may only want to spend money on music—or you may not need to spend too much on entertainment at all. Here are the top ways to save on music and entertainment for your wedding reception that will keep you within budget, and keep your guests entertained.

Hire a live band.

Having live music at your wedding reception is a very classy way to set the mood for the event, and the sound quality is much better than recorded music. You may also save money when you hire a live band– depending on the band’s experience and number of opportunities to play, they may be more willing to accept a lower payment than a disc jockey or accomplished soloist. A band can also vary the speed or variation of songs, depending on the type of atmosphere you want for the reception. There are times when a band will cost considerably more than a DJ, but you may be able to work around this if you agree to feed the band and allow them the amount of breaks they request. Sites like www.usabride.com, www.livesuperdj.com, and www.wedalert.com will give you more information on the pros and cons of hiring a live band, along with a list of ideas for wedding reception entertainment.

Ask a “qualified” friend or family member to be the DJ for the reception.

Many couples shy away from having a DJ at the wedding reception, since a disc jockey may create a casual atmosphere. If you don’t mind this and want your reception to be more of a party than a formal celebration, you may consider hiring a DJ to handle the music for the reception. However, you may not like all the music that is being played with a DJ, and depending on the contract, you may not be able to change the music during the ceremony. So, why not ask a qualified friend or family member to DJ? Make sure that you know the songs that are going to be played, and that your family member feels comfortable with the job in front of a lot of people. You can also create a CD of songs you’ll want at the reception to use as background music while people are talking and having dinner, as well as a CD with songs you’ll use for dancing during the reception.

Decide whether or not you want live entertainment.

You may want more than just music at the reception, and if so, you’ll need to make sure that you book the live entertainment as soon as you can. If you want to have someone sing, dance, or emcee the reception, make these arrangements while you’re planning the wedding ceremony. You may want to ask for the help of friends and family members when it comes to entertainment as well, since they will probably be more than happy to perform at your reception as a wedding gift. Live entertainment is a great way to make your reception entertaining, and depending on how far in advance you can book the entertainment, you can save a considerable amount of money on your wedding celebration, and your guest will be talking about the fun they had at your wedding for years to come.

Planning a wedding is a very exciting and stressful thing to do. There is so much to consider and many people are usually involved with the process. The last thing that you want to have to deal with when planning a wedding is dealing with people that do not belong at your wedding. These people are called wedding crashers.

In some cases, the wedding crashers are complete strangers. This is just a simple and harmless prank that some people like to do to random weddings. They do not cause any trouble while they are there. They will eat dinner, drink and enjoy the people and music just like everyone else. There are some people that do this on a regular basis a little bit of fun for them.

Another type of wedding crasher is the people that do this to bring turmoil to the happy couple’s special day. These are people that usually know at least someone in the wedding party. They may want to destroy the wedding and make it impossible to be a success. This is some thing that every wedding couple needs to be on the lookout for.

There are many people that can help to take watch for these wedding crashers. This is some thing that would make the couple feel better and allow the couple to have a peaceful marriage without interruptions. This is especially a good idea if there is someone that is suspected of doing this to the wedding.

Having a successful and wonderful wedding is something that can be achieved with out having a wedding crasher totally destroys the wedding. You can be a little cautious and be aware of what can happen. Having the right information and the right help is one thing that makes a wedding a fabulous success.

Wedding crashers can happen at any time. They are everywhere and usually have no preference when it comes to the wedding that they crash. Most of the time, they are doing it for the thrill and excitement of seeing if they can actually get away with it. Most of the people that are wedding crashers are doing it because they have nothing better planned for their night. This is a way for them to have some harmless fun and get a good meal at the same time.

Being prepared for a wedding crasher to join your party is always a good idea. If you do notice that one is intruding you on, you may want to just let them alone. If they are not causing any grief, they may be no threat at all. In other cases, you may want to quietly ask them to leave the party with no trouble.

A long formal dress is suitable for a church wedding of a civil ceremony although many brides do prefer wearing a smart dress or tailored suit for the Registry office.

Some religions also frown on sleeveless dresses or low cut outfits and this will need to be taken into account too.

No matter which style you pick, remember that the back view is as important as the front, you will have you back to everyone during the ceremony. Choose fabric that is resistant to crushing and creasing Detachable trains that can be removed or hooked up are also wise.
Dress ideas and colours will need to be discussed with the groom without revealing all the details so that the colours and styles of the wedding party can be coordinated.

Look in the mirror

Be realistic and don’t try and aim for what Hollywood starlets look like on their wedding days, most of us don’t have personal trainer and chefs to look after us and help keep us in shape.
Don’t set your goal posts too close to the moon, you will only be disappointed and feel like a failure when your big day is meant to be a celebration of your love for one another. 

Concentrate on the real you!

Think about what you normally wear, what colours suit you and which styles flatter yout figure and most important, which outfits make you feel on top of the world, What type of ceremony and theme are you looking to create- traditional or relaxed, formal or informal.

Colours

White dresses are not obligatory these days, if you don��t feel white is your colour or will complement you then don��t wear it
Wedding gowns are becoming increasingly popular in cream, pale gold, pale blue, pale pink and red. There is also a trend these days to go for darker colours like burgundy or shades of green which is a beautiful idea for a Christmas wedding.

You will feel better in a dress that flatters your complexion or one of your favourites instead of going with white because it seems to be the norm. If wearing a bright coloured dress the details should be kept to a minimum.

The Right Style for your Shape

Choosing a style that flatters your shape can make a huge difference to how you look and also give you a huge confidence booster
Trying on dresses that either don’t suit your body or the ceremony is not only a waste of time but can also depress you and you might find that you give in a buy the wrong dress anyway. A sure fire way to put a dampener on your big day.

Tall and Thin

Choose a ball gown with a strapless, fitter bodice

Bony shoulders or collar bones can will suit dresses with a higher neckline that are long and fitted

If you feel you are too thin for this style consider that you can set of your height and leanness with some delicate detailed embroidery or beading.

Short with a fuller, feminine Figure

Try an empire line dress which has a seam under the bust line and in the right fabric, the dress will flow instead of cling

A Knee length dress will also look good, the longer dress will add height and give you a taller silhouette

Sleeves should also be long but not too tight if considered.

Thick Waist

Conceal a wide waist with a boned corset or wear a decorative jacket that falls just below the waistline

Avoid fitted ballerina styles

Very Full Bust

To draw attention away from the bust choose a dress with a long bodice or cowl neck

Dresses with a natural waistline will draw attention to the bust area

Pick a plain bodice and avoid low necklines

Pick a detailed hem if you want to add a little something that you feel might be missing on the top

Full or Wide Hips

Avoid bustles and ruffles or tiered dresses

Most styles will look great but avoid tight styles around the hips

Princess styles that are fitted on the top and flare slightly to the hem will help disguise larger hips

Ball gown styles in simple fabrics will also draw attention away from the hips

Big bottom

Avoid bows or back fastening ties

Consider a light train from the top of the bodice or waist

Wide Shoulders

Wide straps will narrow the appearance of your shoulders or cover then completely

Draw the focus to a v-neckline

Wearing a sheer wrap will also soften the effect

Do not wear puffed sleeves, don��t even consider them!

Short or heavy legs

Opt for a long dress

Sheath styles which are straight but not too clingy will add height

Short Arms

Three Quarter length sleeves will be flattering

Do not go sleeveless

Chubby Arms

Choose long simple sleeves that are not too tight

Wear a bolero, shrug or wrap

Pregnant Brides

Maternity bridal wear is a fairly specialist item to find and not offered at standard bridal shops. Having a bump does not equal frump. Pregnant brides can still have the dress of the dreams.

If you are having a baby or have just had a baby then take into account the fact that you are going to have long day, so go for comfort when choosing what to wear.

Don’t try to squeeze in a corset style dress in the size you used to be. Your dress will have to allow for your changing shape and you will need to find a reliable dress maker for last minute alterations.

If you want to disguise the pregnancy go for a dress that is one size up and getting the bust altered. A big bouquet will also disguise the tummy area.

You do not need to sacrifice style to be comfortable, tight waists and figure hugging dresses with tightly laced bodices are not worth sparing a thought for as they will only torment you on your special day.

Focus on showing off your new curves with a focus on the shoulders or bust
Styles that are perfect for the pregnant bride are Empire lines, princess lines or A line dresses. These styles flare from under the bust, the empire line has a straighter skirt. A Chiffon overlay can be added to soften the lines of your dress or opt for a medieval style dress with long flowing sleeves.

Some guidelines when deciding on a dress:

Try on as many different styles as you like and view them from as many different angles as possible, take some shoes along that will be similar in height to the ones you may wear. To get the full effect have the shop fit you out in a veil with the dress as you wont want to take your wedding dress with you when you go veil shopping

Take your time to make a decision and don’t feel pressured by pushy sales people.

How much deposit is required and when is the balance due

Does the price include VAT

How much extra are the alterations

How far before the wedding must you order

How many fitting will be required and do they offer Saturday or after hours fittings

Can you arrange a fitting with accessories, lingerie and shoes

Get confirmation of all appointments and money paid in writing

How far before the wedding will the dress arrive

Do the shop offer storage garment bags

Ask about the care instructions for getting the crease out before your big day

What is the shops policy on cancellations

Have you added the dress to your wedding insurance

If you are going to hire your dress, check to see if the chosen dress will be available on your day, cleaned and ready for collection.

Does the hire price include a full 24 hours. Does the dress have to be cleaned before its returned (an added expense) After the wedding who will be entrusted with delivering the dress back to the hire shop as it should be

Budget concerns can be one of the most prominent sources of disagreement for a couple in the process of planning their wedding. The couple may have different ideas about what type of wedding they want and also about what they can afford. It is important for the couple to discuss financial constraints before the wedding planning goes too far.

The first tip for setting a budget and sticking to it is to have a conversation regarding finances well before the wedding planning starts in earnest. It is important that everyone involved in the decision making process of the wedding understand just how much money is available to be spent on the wedding.

Another tip for setting a budget and sticking to it is to start saving early for your wedding. Putting aside a portion of each paycheck for awhile can add up to a sizable savings that can be used for your wedding. This advanced planning and saving will allow you to maximize the budget that is available to you for your wedding planning.

Once the budget has been established, set it aside for a few days and then review it again. This time away from the budget gives those involved the chance to let the information settle in and the review of the budget after this waiting period gives the participants the opportunity to verify that they understand and agree to the budget. This is important because if someone does not agree with the budget, they may be likely to overspend in one area leaving the budget in jeopardy.

In setting up for your outdoor wedding, one important tip is to set up the area where the ceremony will be held in a way that keeps the sun at the guests’ backs. For example, for a morning wedding, you will want to position the seating so that the guests are facing to the west. This is important because the sun rises in the east and having the guests facing to the east would result in the guests having to squint into the sun.

If you choose a summertime wedding in a warm climate, be sure to have plenty of drinks available for your guests. You might want to consider having refreshing beverages such as water and juices available throughout the ceremony and reception to prevent guests from dehydrating.

It is important that budgets for each individual aspect of the wedding be established to enable you to follow this next tip. This tip advises the couple to be mindful of their budgets for each individual component of the wedding before negotiating contracts for services. If you know that you have allotted $250 for entertainment you would be wise to seek out a DJ that is offering his services for approximately that amount and then negotiate your contract to ensure that you remain under budge.

If you have a lot of out of town guests who will be attending your outdoor wedding, you may want to prepare a package to mail to them detailing the weather expectations for your wedding date so that they can prepare for the trip. Although the past can be a good indication of what type of weather to expect, you might also want to consider sending your out of town guests a weather prediction update a few days prior to your wedding in case the meteorologists are predicting unseasonable weather.

Another tip for sticking to your wedding budget is to not view the budget as restrictive. If instead of thinking about the things that you can’t afford, you focus on how you can make your wedding and reception truly unique you will be inspired to create a fabulous and memorable wedding despite your budget constraints.

Another tip for an outdoor wedding is to consider hiring a live band instead of a DJ for the entertainment. A live band will blend in better with the surroundings in an outdoor setting. Also, the natural music of a live band is also a better fit then the synthesized music of a DJ.

A final tip for creating and sticking to a budget is to realize that there are bound to be snags along the way. As long as you remain cognizant of your spending and realize the ramifications of your actions you are likely to realize that if you go over budget in one area, you will need to modify other areas by reducing their total budget. A wedding budget can be a serious cause of emotional strain on a couple. It is important for them to discuss their finances and establish a budget for their wedding plans. Doing this early on in the wedding planning process can help the couple to avoid conflict during the planning phase of the wedding.

A destination wedding is a wedding that takes place in a location that is not home to either the bride or the groom or their families. Couples may choose a location that they have always wanted to visit for the location of their destination wedding. The couple may also opt to have their wedding in the location of their honeymoon so that there honeymoon will start immediately after the wedding. There are certain advantages and disadvantages to having a destination wedding. One of the most defining advantages is the ability to have a wedding in a beautiful and exotic location.

Another advantage to a destination wedding is that if you choose to honeymoon in the same location you will first of all already be at your honeymoon location at the conclusion of the wedding and furthermore you will likely receive a discount on your honeymoon stay because you have already had your wedding at the location. One of the distinct disadvantages of a destination wedding is that the planning process can be difficult and that you are often unable to fully enjoy the planning process.

Another disadvantage to destination weddings is that they are typically not well attended due to the fact that travel is expensive. A destination wedding can be used as the opportunity to enjoy a long weekend with close friends in a convenient location. The following are a few tips for turning your destination wedding into a fun-filed extended weekend for your guests.

Choosing a scenic location such as Colorado for your destination wedding can offer your guests a variety of fun activities to participate in either before or after your wedding. The couple could choose to have their wedding on a ranch or at a ski resort and there are a wide variety of activities available for the couple to participate in. Some of these activities include skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing and hiking.

Las Vegas is another popular destination wedding location. The lure of a Las Vegas wedding is that there is so much to see and do in this city. Guests can choose to spend their free time gambling, taking in shows or visiting the many famous restaurants in the area. Guests can also choose to visit some of the extravagant and world famous hotels in the area.

Another popular destination wedding location is Mexico. This is a popular location for a couple of reasons. Many couples choose to honeymoon in Mexico so that reason alone makes it an ideal destination wedding location. Also, the warm weather and beautiful white sand beaches provide a beautiful setting for a wedding. Guests who arrive early or choose to spend a few extra days in Mexico will not be disappointed with the available activities. Scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, sunbathing and travel to ancient ruins are just a few of the activities that the guests can enjoy while in Mexico.

New York City is still another popular destination wedding location. Guests who travel to a destination wedding in New York City have a variety of activities to choose from while they are vacationing. Museums, plays, operas and sporting events are just a few of the available activities that guests may choose to partake in. Besides these activities, New York City also has some of the best people watching available in the world. The city is literally teeming with interesting characters that delight visitors with their idiosyncrasies. Additionally there are many nightclubs and restaurants that are definitely worth trying.

Choosing the perfect location for your wedding may seem like an impossible task especially if you live in an area that has a number of options. Setting strict criteria for evaluating locations can save you a lot of time and effort. Only visiting venues that meet these criteria will greatly reduce the number of locations that you need to visit.
