Christmas Wedding Favors – The Magic Of The Holiday Season
January 17, 2010
All weddings are perfect in their own way, and any season can provide a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony, but there is something special about a winter wedding during the holidays. So many people opt for sun and blue skies, but a couple that chooses the colder, darker days of the end of the year is showing a kind of confidence, a belief that their love is warm enough to illuminate the shortest days of the year.
These couples have an eye for beauty that doesn’t stop at the easy green and color of warm summer days, but extends to the brilliance of snow and hard icicles, of candlelight and close quarters. The winter holidays are already redolent of festivity and family gatherings, and they are packed with traditions and symbols that naturally invite themselves into the rituals of the wedding.
From the invitations to the cake, to the décor of the reception hall and the fabric of the gown, the season can find expression, and as it is the season of giving, the little wedding favors of the bride and groom gain added significance. What better opportunity to show your love and appreciation of your guests, your dearest family and friends, and to share in this season of giving, than to give away little favors that reflect this spirit?
Fall Weddings – Why They Are So Popular?
August 9, 2009
Many brides choose Fall as a great time to have a wedding. The colors are warm and inviting and complement both a traditional wedding theme as well as a more contemporary one. If you’re going with a fall wedding you will need the accessories that are unique to that time of year.
Fall represents for many a new beginning, a rebirth, a shedding of the old. This shift from the old to the new is epitomized in the idea of a wedding. The table decorations should reflect this Autumn theme by using, for example, maple shaped decorations or having glass ornaments.
To enhance the theme even further you may want to decorate your tables using actual leaves or other symbols of Fall. The less traditional may choose to use pastel colors that mimic the brightness of the fall colors & a bride may also forego the normal white dress and instead choose a more colorful artistic one. You should be willing to extrapolate further and use the idea of a fall theme to accessorize what you will be wearing that day.
Winter Weddings – Give It A Try
July 26, 2009
Most brides choose to get married in the spring or the summer. However, a winter wedding can be quite beautiful, so consider having your wedding during this magical season. There are a whole array of options for making your wedding unique and memorable during this time of year.
If you decide to have a wedding during the winter, choose the date well in advance. Christmas and New Year’s Eve are two popular dates for winter weddings, so you will want to give yourself plenty of time to reserve your wedding and reception locations.
Be sure and send out “Save the Date” cards so your guests can make their plans, since these two holidays tend to be busy ones. Some brides choose a Christmas wedding as a convenience if their families live far apart and usually gather together only at this time of year.
Getting married in a church during this special time means that the church is most likely already decorated with wreaths, garlands, pine, poinsettias, holly and candles. You might want to continue this theme at your reception, where you can create a holiday mood with tartan ribbons, velvet ribbons and tablecloths, and deep red roses.
