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.
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!
Traditionally the little one’s parents pay for the dress. However, times have changed and sometimes the bride and groom fit the bill as an act of gratitude. If the parents are paying for the dress try to keep the dress in their price range. You may offer a choice of a few dresses so that they can choose one that is more in their budget. Keep in mind that the Bride and Groom do pay for the flower basket, any petals for the basket, and any flowers that you want in her hair.

Black and white weddings were big last year, but this year they are going to be all the rage. This timeless look simply screams elegance. There are also a lot of ways to spice up a black and white wedding, like adding a black sash to your wedding dress or even getting a dress with a bit of black in it. There are also many options for flowers. Roses are a timeless and beautiful option. Bouquets of mini white calla lilies are gorgeous, so is carrying one single calla lily. However, if drama is the name of your game then you have to go with the black calla lily. While they are not truly black, they appear black before they turn purple. So you and your florist will have to plan together to make sure the lilies look black. But this is a very bold and elegant look that is sure to be remembered. You may also think of having an all white candy bar. The all white candy bars are by far the prettiest I have seen. One thing is for sure the options are wide open for a black and white wedding. Whether you have something whimsy or traditional, it is sure to look extremely elegant.
One of the hottest trends right now is showcasing the individuality of your bridesmaids. An option that is becoming very popular on the wedding scene is to allow your bridesmaids to pick their own dresses. Many times these dresses are all in the same hue, however the bridesmaids may pick whichever dress that fits their body and personal style. This allows all bridesmaids to feel comfortable and confident in their dresses. It also adds a unique touch to your wedding.
Bridal Party Tees would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and thank you for your continued support!
Okay so Better Homes and Gardens web site offers a quiz to discover your wedding floral style. While I have to admit I was a bit skeptical while taking the quiz, I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The quiz has many questions that the answers are not exactly what you are looking for but you have to pick the one closest to your views. They are very extreme answers that fall in three categories Simple Style, Natural Style, and Romantic Style. So if you hang in there and follow the quiz to the end I think you will find that your dominate style is what this quiz picks out—at least it did for me. However this is a fun and interactive tool to get your mind around what kind of flowers you want for your wedding. Check it out and let me know what your style was. I ended up getting Simple Style, which is dead on.Take the quiz here!
When it comes to tipping an officiant there is no set in stone guidelines. I have done a lot of research and everyone has a different opinion on the matter. So, I have compiled the advice that is most commonly held. Please remember that this is just advice and you should do whatever you feel is proper for your wedding.
Wedding etiquette says that you never tip an officiant. However, if they did a great job or are doing the wedding for free then tipping may be an option. If you are paying an officiant you do not need to tip them. If you are having your wedding in a church they may ask for a donation to the church. If this is the case the church will normally tell you how much or give you a range of what is acceptable. The confusion comes in when the minister or clergy member is doing the service for free. While many do not expect tips, tipping them may be a nice way to show your gratitude. In this case, gratuity of $75 to about $100 is standard. This may be given directly to the minister or as a donation to the church. You may give more or less if you desire. If your minister is traveling to your wedding destination they should be compensated for travel expenses, which should be added to the tip. Also, it is always courteous to send a thank you note with the tip or donation and most officiants would appreciate a picture from the wedding to add to their portfolios. As for the judge, Justice of the Peace, City Clerk, or any other civil officiant, they are not allowed to accept a tip or donation for a wedding ceremony performed during court /office hours. After hours, they may accept a “donation’ (gratuity) of up to $75. To make sure you are within the legal guidelines of your locale, check with your officiant for specifics.
