Ambiance, creating your wedding environment!

Ambiance, it defines atmosphere, that which encompasses or surrounds. Every wedding has a setting, whether  you marry in  the hustle and bustle of city hall or on a romantic beach in Hawaii,  your environment will set the tone for ambiance. If you plan a Vintage wedding you would invite a little slice of history, old things, lace and antiques. All these things create an atmosphere of days gone by when life was more simple, manners were of great importance and tradition reigned supreme. The little props, background, attire, favors and flowers all create and contribute to ambiance at our wedding, that's why you need to choose carefully when planning your special day. Go online and comb the internet for interesting ideas, blogs, and websites when selecting your products. Unique favors, beach favors, elegant or glamorous accessories will contribute to atmosphere and interplay with atmosphere at your wedding, as a matter of fact it will be of importance in setting the scene. You would never decorate with antiques and lace at an aquarium wedding  scene, what would they contribute? Better to decorate with seashells, dolphin bottle stoppers or mermaid soaps for favors and palm fronds and hibiscus flowers in large vases as decor. This would add to that sea or tropical island feel you want. When planning your wedding remember,  what is your theme? What do you associate with your colors, beliefs and setting. Choose wisely!

Putting unique into your wedding

Every little girl dreams of her special day. When the time finally arrives for you to plan your wedding you are probably looking for something unique that you can add your own signature to and says this is ME. It does not matter what theme  you choose, beach, vintage, garden, fall or winter, you can make this wedding truly your own with some unique ideas.
For a beach wedding, instead of star fish or sea shells how about sand castles, coral and dolphins, this is a lovely combination. Some great favor ideas would be coral place card holders and display coral bottle stoppers as favors next to each plate on reception tables.
A Vintage wedding can be truly spectacular with some touches of a by gone era. Display large crystal vases filled with roses or Gerbera daisies. Silver place card holders display names while a choice for favors might include soaps, silk fans or a romantic "Key to my heart" bottle opener.
Fall or Winter weddings will include more dramatic colors and heavier materials. Prancing horses pulling a sleigh or carriage will make you the bride feel like a real princess. Festoon the vehicle of choice with colorful ribbons and bows. Next to each place on your reception tables place favor boxes filled with soaps, candles or chocolates. Beautiful favor boxes are fun to open and can be keepsakes for your guests to carry home.
Make your wedding UNIQUE.

Color Themes for Fall Weddings

Color Themes for Fall Weddings
Fall is a gorgeous time of year. Colorful leaves mesmerize leaf peepers, windy afternoons are spent at foot ball games, candy apples are dunked for Halloween and the world braces for a changing of the seasons. Fall is the inbetween time of the hot summer months and the cold winter season. It is also a time when an adventurous bride decides to hold her wedding. Autumn is known for spectacular oranges, reds and gold colors but who said you had to have these colors at your wedding? Perhaps you just don't want a Halloween type wedding or orange bridesmaids dresses and favors. Dear bride, here are some fall color themes you might not have thought about. Royal blue or platinum dresses that remind you of frosty mornings would be ideal, combine this with a gorgeous peacock accessory set complete with guestbook, pen, garters and flower basket and you have a combination fit for a Queen. Peacock feathers arranged in vases and mixed with ferns makes a stunning display that will long be remembered. Burgundy, pink and  chocolate brown  or black also make for memorable displays and combinations. Fall is a time of change and beauty, when the old charm makes way for a new beginning and it is a grand time to hold a wedding of your dreams.

I must admit when Elizabeth Taylor recently died, a true movie star of calibre died. This beautiful woman was the eternal bride. Despite her many husbands and divorces, she never gave up on love. Men just naturally followed her, giving up wives and families just to be near her.I have to admit, I always felt her greatest love was Richard Burton and neither one, no matter how far away they were from one another would ever truly get over each other. Her beautiful violet eyes were like no other and I will always remember her in "Father of the Bride" with Spencer Tracy. I have to admit, she was breath taking. I sometimes wonder if she was here today, a modern bride, what would her wedding favors and wedding accessories be. AAAhh, well, that's something we will all just have to wonder about.

Are you hooked on love?

I recently read a story about a couple that loved fishing. They both grew up in florida and family outings often included fishing trips. When the bride and groom met on a blind date they were actually out with a group of friends deep sea fishing. After dating for 2 years the happy couple decided to wed and incorporate the fishing theme into there wedding. Now I really loved this idea as I know several friends of mine who are almost fanatical when it comes to fishing. If you are to become a fisherman's wife or simply love the fisherman wedding theme I have some really cute ideas to make your wedding extra special. First of all you might choose personalized mint tins with the fish and hook theme to offer your guests. Filled with refreshing mint tins, make great wedding favors. You might also choose an adorable cake top where the bride hooks her reluctant groom. I really loved this cake top and it is one of my bestsellers. You might also choose fishing groomsman and bridesmaids gifts and include wedding favors with a fisherman theme. For a fabulous feast include fish, coconut shrimp, lobster and other delicious deep sea dishes in your menu offering. A fishing theme for your wedding is a lot of fun and one you and your groom will love.
