Accents & Small Details...

It is easy to get wrapped up in the big picture when planning your wedding, but it is important to pay special attention to the accents and small details involved in the big day. Make sure you don’t forget the small things that will make your wedding even more unforgettable.

Pick jewelry that will compliment your wedding dress, if your dress has a lot of bead word, go without a necklace so that it doesn’t take away from the design, if your dress is strapless, make sure you wear a bracelet that coordinates.

At the reception, make sure you add a special touch to the gifts you send your guests home with. Take the time to write a personal note to each guest, even it’s just one sentence that changes for each guest, so they know you took the time and are glad they are there.

When the wedding is over and you sit down to write the thank you cards, make sure you write a personal note and thank each guest for the specific gift they gave you.

Remember, there is no better way to bring your wedding day together than the intimate details that reflect the love of the bride and groom. For more ideas on how to make sure the small details aren’t forgotten, visit our section on creative wedding ideas.

20th Century Bride & Traditions of the Past...

Every year there is a new style for wedding dresses, new popular colors, flowers that every bride is using and more! Although weddings are constantly changing, there are traditions that most brides and grooms will take part in, no matter what other trends they are following.

Traditions that will always be involved in the wedding are the bachelor and bachelorette parties, the first kiss as husband and wife, the champagne toast, throwing the bouquet to all of the single ladies and the father daughter dance.

So, although we will not have the same wedding that our grandparents had, we will partake in the same memorable events. Make sure you capture the traditions of your wedding with pictures, view our list of choice photographers.

Invitation Research &
Tips on Picking the Best Boutique...

Wedding invitations are not just invitations, wedding invitations are what you send out to the people you love inviting them to share in your special day. The invitations that you send out set the mood for your entire wedding ceremony.

Make sure when you are shopping for invitations, that you look at no less than three different boutiques and compare the quality, price and overall design options. You will want a paper that will withstand going through the mail, a design that represents you and your fiancés personality and a price that will not break the bank before you even get to the wedding day.

Most of all, when researching where you want to purchase your wedding invitations, make sure that if you were receiving this invitation in the mail, you would not want to miss out on the upcoming event. Visit our vendor section for help on picking your local invitation boutique.
