Weddings

Congratulations, you've identified the ideal guy or girl and you've settled on the date. Here's a list of to dos to help you plan your ideal day.

Most brides have a vision of a beautifully decorated and themed wedding reception. Luckily, it is easy to achieve the wedding décor you see in your mind's eye with a few easy and inexpensive do-it-yourself projects.

No matter what the history and tradition is of 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue,' the important part is to have fun with putting it all together.

Want to make your wedding more memorable? Think of one little gesture that you can do for your guests.

Honey is used in many ways to celebrate marriage. Consider a beauty treatment using pure, natural honey.

With the developing trend to 'green' up our lives and make far more ethical, eco-friendly lifestyle choices, a lot of brides are wanting to plan a green wedding, including wedding favors from an eco-friendly source.

Yellow is the most cheerful of all the colors, which makes it a natural addition to a happy occasion like a wedding.

Purple is a beautiful color for your wedding. You could choose a pale lavender, bright purple, aubergine, dark gray, plum or a hint of purple.

If country is what you like, then do it! Have fun, go nuts, break out your cowboy hat, and cowboy boots, and get a little bit country!

If you are planning to use a country theme for your wedding, you will find the selection of country wedding favors to range from traditional to the unexpectedly elegant.

When you begin to plan a wedding shower perhaps you will consider quality instead of quantity. Invite just a handful of people and make the effort to create a special luncheon which will live on in the memories of your guests for years to come. I hope you enjoy my grandmother's special recipes.

Take a look at the language of flowers and see what flowers and herbs might be helpful. You may think this is crazy, but actually fragrance fastens memories in our brains. Why not consider using dried flowers as part of your wedding.
