If you are having a destination wedding or live in someplace that is a lot of fun, then this guestbook idea would work perfect for you. Instead of the traditional guest book, buy a coffee table book of the place where your wedding is taking place. Then simply instruct your guests to sign the book yearbook style on any page that they like. After the wedding you will be left with a great book to depict the location of your marriage and everyone that shared that special place with you.
Thanks to everyone that came out and saw us at the show in Cleveland on Sunday. It was great to meet all of the Brides. I am sure you are completely caked out! Hope you all had a great time and got a lot of great ideas!
A big trend for 2008 is changing you hair and dress between the wedding and reception. You no longer have to choose between a big ball gown and a cute little mini. Now you can wear them both. Want a cute updo and wear your hair down? Now you can totally do it! And it’s not just the bride that’s getting a makeover between acts. Couples are also changing up their palettes with a progression of color throughout the day. Guests arrive to a clean, all-white ceremony, experience a hint of pale hues during the cocktail hour, and then step into an explosion of rich color for the reception.Source
When picking a wedding photographer the one thing that can coast the most is the wedding album. Some photographers do not even offer this as an option for the lower packages. So, if you are on a budget or just don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for your album, you may want to check out the blurb.com. This is an online book publisher. They offer many options of books that you can choose from starting as low as $12.95. All you need is the high resolution images from your photographer and you can design your own book with there templates. I highly recommend getting the high res. disc of your images for a few reasons. The first is that you are able to make prints for whoever you want whenever you want without going back to the photographer—which prints are a lot cheaper this way! Also, in case the studio goes out of business or a natural disaster happens you have a hard copy of all your images. The last reason is you are able to make tons of things with the disc and totally utilize all of your pictures. You can make calendars, thank you cards, and many other items for half the coast the studio would charge you. Another idea is to get the high resolution disc of your engagement session and go onto the blurb.com and make your own guest book. You can have your engagement pictures on the pages that everyone will sign and have them do it yearbook style or add lines for them to sign on. It makes a truly unique guest book that you will want to look at! Check out blurb.com!

If you are looking for a way to save money on your flowers for the reception, here is a great idea. Instead of buying flowers especially for the bride and grooms table repurpose the bouquets from the wedding. Have vases set out along the table and place the bridesmaids’ bouquets and your wedding bouquet in the vases. Decorate in-between the vases with tons of votive candles. Another option is to pile all of the bridesmaids’ bouquets in the middle of the table and place your on top. It will become a beautiful mound of flowers. You would also surround these with votives, to make it blend with the rest of the decorations. This is a great way to repurpose your bouquets and get your money’s worth! Idea from my girls at the Knot!
Instead of save the dates, you can send mark the dates. These cute little snowflakes are actually bookmarks. These would be a cute idea for a winter themed wedding. Each book mark comes in a shimmery white book shaped folder with a white satin ribbon closure. The elegant white tassel of the bookmark cascades over the side of the book. Each of these books can be personalized with all of your wedding information. So tell everyone to mark the date! Check it out!
