Savannah Charm!

There is a jewel of a city that lies along the Georgia coast that is a must see and perhaps a must marry there experience. This city is lovely Savannah, a historic and cultural wonderland. Founded in 1733 by General Oglethorpe it became the Colonial capital of Ga.
   Savannah has a tropical humid climate and is known for it's gorgeous gardens, historic district, old churches and famous restaurants. If you are searching for a unique spot to wed then you might look into Savannah's historic churches that include the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, famous for it's Gothic architecture and Christ Church with it's Corinthian columns. Both of these churches are historical landmarks in Savannah.
  If you are looking to sight see or make your honeymoon in Savannah then a charming bed and breakfast or a fine hotel in historic old Savannah will fill the bill quiet nicely. You will of course wish to take in the sights like Savannah squares, lovely garden areas which are home to bubbling fountains, ancients oaks and a profusion of colorful flowers. Azaleas, dogwoods, camellias, tulips and jonquils present a feast for the eyes and you will wish to snap a lot of pictures to show your friends and family back home..  The Squares are also a great place to propose.  Find a secluded bench, kneel down and pop the question to your beloved, she will be enchanted.
You might enjoy a leisurely  ride in a horse drawn carriage to see the historic homes that line the streets and boulevards.  Juliette Lowe, the founder of the girl scouts has a home here, Sorrel Weed House William Scarborough house and Wormsloe Plantation are other interesting sights of interest. If you wish to elude the beaten path, then check out the Tybee Island Light House, a famous landmark along the coast.
  Savannah besides being famous for it's rich history and traditions is also famous for it's cuisine.  Restaurants you just have to check out are the 1790 Inn and Restaurant, famous for it's pecan crusted grouper, crab stuffed shrimp and hand made truffels.

If you want to go beyond the pale and incorporate a bit of color into your wedding you might love the newest variation on white to hit the wedding aisle, BLUSH.
In recent years brides have chosen white, ivory and even platinum but the newest shade is now blush pink. This is an especially lovely color for feminine and second time brides. If you have chosen a blush colored wedding gown and perhaps wish to make this color part of your theme then dare I say you might love looking at blush or Champagne colored accessories. Here are some gorgeous choices, first  the Bella Donna Collection by Ivy Lane Design, it comes with a guest book and pen set, flower basket and ring pillow. It's a gorgeous lace ensemble that you will love handing down to future brides. You might love pale peach or pink roses in your bouquet and don't forget to add touches of blush through out your wedding.

How to avoid those tacky wedding favors

It happens to almost everyone, they go to a wedding and come away with tacky wedding favors. What are tacky wedding favors you ask? That's an easy one to answer, tacky favors, include plastic wedding bells, bobble head brides, shot glasses with the happy couple's names and wedding date ( what can you do with one shot glass with another person's name on it?) cookies and droopy chocolate bars. These of course are just a few favors you want to avoid handing out at your wedding.
If you really want  elegant, and  unique favors that your guests will appreciate and not be embarrassed to take home then here are some ideas. Beautiful candles, measuring spoons, coffee favors and one of my all time favorites, soap wedding favors, sachets and bath powder are also part of this triangle.
Guests can take soap wedding favors home and indulge in a heavenly bath or shower. A beautiful candle can be lit for a special dinner or during that bubble bath. Measuring spoons with sweet sentiments engraved on them will be used many times by a busy cook. You can always personalize with elegant tags that can be removed after the wedding.
One thing to remember, give your guests something they will use, let it be good quality and please understand that a favor thrown in the trash can be very embarrassing to you the happy couple.
