Having a fall themed wedding? Well if you are, why not extend your theme to you drink selection? Serve your guests hot apple cider with a few cinnamon sticks in the glass for a little whimsy and fun. The hot apple cider will warm your guests from the inside out and will help set a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Perfume your ceremony or reception site with a garland of sweetly scented lilies. The sturdy flowers are abundant in spring. For a long space or a double-layer strand, have your florist wire several garlands (it’s best done the day of the wedding). Hang lengths of up to 16 blooms each in sections; each swag shown at the left is an individual garland, as are the two vertical sections. Be sure to leave extra wire for hanging; you can hide this wire with wide satin bows. Lily pollen often stains; you may want to remove the yellow anthers.
Fragrant Garland How-To
Thread 26-gauge wire through first bloom; attach at base with floral tape (or, for an end, tape wire to base of a closed bulb). Then slide on second bloom, to overlap previous flower a bit; tape base. Repeat until you reach desired length, leaving wire for hanging.Source

Your wedding hairstyle is one of the most important parts of the evening. Well…besides the dress, loved ones, and marrying the man of your dreams but you know what I mean. Picking a wedding style is one of the hardest choices because it has to do with the dress but you also want it to flatter your face shape. Every woman wants to look her best and be totally gorgeous. But sometimes, it can seem like something’s just not right, as though you can’t quite put your finger on it, but you need to ‘fix’ something. You’ve bought the dress, the shoes are perfect, you found the ideal pair of earrings and you’ve organized the best makeup solution. If it’s your hair that’s bothering you, then you really need to take a look at the shape of your face because it’s an all-important consideration when trying to look right. Asking your hairdresser for wedding hairstyles that suit your face shape is a wonderful idea. Just by looking through celeb photos you can see your favorite stars that look fantastic sometimes and awful at others. It could have something to do with their hairstyle not matching their face shape. Take a good look at your face in the mirror, with your hair tied back. Examine the angles of your cheekbones, the height of your forehead, how round or pointy your chin is and how square your jaw line is. Finding appropriate Wedding hairstyles is as easy as determining whether you have a diamond, square, round, oblong, heart-shaped or oval face and picking a style to suit.
Oval
With a face length around one and a half times longer than the width of your face, you are oval. You’re lucky; an oval face is on everybody’s wish list, so your wedding hairstyle can be just about anything you want. You can go for any length or choose an updo for added elegance. Avoid too much ‘clutter’ around your face with weighty bangs; add earrings as a feature instead.
Round
Your face is roughly as wide as it is long so you need to add a little fullness and some height around the crown. It’s best to avoid wedding hairstyles that are chin length because it will draw attention to the roundness of your face. Instead, keep it layered around the crown and have it cut close to your cheeks to ‘raise’ your cheekbones.
Oblong
If your face appears longer than it is wide, yours is oblong. The best wedding hairstyles for you are short to medium in length. If it’s too long, your hair will appear to make your face look longer so try to keep it above shoulder length or even just below your chin. Keep it soft and full around your face.
Square
Rather self-explanatory, your square face needs to be softened with wavy or wispy wedding hairstyles. Whether you go short or medium is up to you but long would not work as well. Definitely avoid center parts.
Heart
Wide cheekbones and/or forehead and a narrow jaw mean you have a heart-shaped face. Choose from wedding hairstyles that part on the side and ask for some pretty, wispy bangs. Avoid anything too short or it will draw attention to your pointy chin.
Diamond
With a face that’s widest at the cheekbones, and with a forehead and jaw line roughly equal in width, you too are fortunate in that you can choose from a wide range of wedding hairstyles. Whether curly, straight or wavy, swept back, long or short, the only thing you need to avoid is anything that’s brushed forward too much.
Just remember these are just suggestions. You wedding hairstyle should be one that you absolutely love. Make sure to make an appointment with your hairdresser a few weeks before the wedding to try out various options. Look at your face shape, your dress, and most importantly your vision of the perfect style! Source
Try a who-will-marry-next tradition that Turkish brides have been practicing for generations. Before you start down the aisle, have your single bridesmaids (or any female friends or relatives who’ve yet to marry) autograph the sole of your bridal shoe. After you’ve danced the night away (and tossed your bouquet), legend has it that the person whose name has faded the most will be the next to marry. Source
