Wedding Colors, Contrast Is Key

When it comes to wedding receptions, there are a lot of details that can make a difference. Candles, flowers, table linen, music and of course, location are all important. However, there is one overarching theme that to some extent, dictates the parameters of all such details-the color scheme. In the movie "Steel Magnolias," Julia Roberts's character proudly proclaims "My colors are blush and bashful," to which her mother replies, "Her colors are pink and pink. That sanctuary looks like it's been hosed down with Pepto-Bismol." And a few minutes later, we see that this is so. The colors chosen for a wedding affect every nuance of the atmosphere. Fortunately, with a little ingenuity, there is no color that cannot be used to celebrate the couple's big day.

The key to an attractive wedding color scheme is not to overdo a single hue. If the colors chosen are too similar, they will just blend together. On the other hand, if the colors contrast with each other, than both provide a palate against which the other can be displayed. For example, when it comes to summer weddings, green helps create an appropriate atmosphere. But don't combine pastel green with forest green. Instead, consider pairing jade with white, pale pink or silver. The paler color allows the jade to stand out, creating an impression of green without being overwhelming.

Many winter weddings utilize the color red. Of course, the danger is that if green is used as the pairing color, the decor will come off too much like a Christmas party and not at all like a wedding reception. To avoid this problem, try an unorthodox color like blue or pale purple. The effect can be startling and extremely fashionable in appearance. Of course, red is almost always the prevalent color at Chinese weddings, where it is believed to bring luck and happiness. On such occasions, red is usually paired with gold.

The color purple, with its traditional associations with royalty, can create a very luxurious ambiance at a wedding. This impression can be heightened by the use of hints of gold, creating a sort of gilded atmosphere. But for a less traditional, fun approach, purple can also be paired with bright, almost neon colors such as magenta or tangerine. The effect is very cheerful, creating a heightened aura of festivity.

Weddings featuring a blue color scheme can be very dramatic or very relaxed, depending on the hue of blue selected. Deeper shades tend to invoke a stately, sophisticated atmosphere. Such blues are often combined with gold and/or silver, which adds to the sense of decorum. But lighter shades of blue can create an atmosphere of cheer and even whimsy. Shades of turquoise are very popular at beach weddings, which often feature details like starfish and brightly colored orchids. Turquoise can be effectively paired with other bright colors to create a tropical atmosphere.

If you really want to wake up the guests, shades of orange can be used for beautiful fall weddings. Orange has to be used carefully, as its brightness can be easily overwhelming. However, used in the correct combinations, such as with a deep chocolate brown, it can be very attractive, striking and seasonally appropriate.

2009 Wedding Trends

A wedding ceremony is something that could be connected with fashion. Just as the ramp updates its yearly collection, so does wedding trends. You might be interested about what's in and out of the wedding aisle and venue for 2009. The line-up of creations and recommendations might help you get an idea for the next in-thing in preparing for your wedding day.

There are different beliefs and practices when it comes to planning for a wedding ceremony. Lifestyle magazines, fashion designers and even wedding reception experts and planners have fused their ideas together to come up with something new for 2009.

Wedding favors the 2009 way

Gone were the days when you have to give wedding favors just to express gratitude for the presence of your intimate friends. On a more practical note, 2009's personalized gifts have taken things a notch higher. Your giveaway already serves two purposes: one for your occasion to be remembered; and two for your guests to make use of your practical gifts.

A lot of ideas have already struck the minds of the bride and the groom when it comes to giving wedding favors. Traditional wedding bells and "couple" figurines no longer come to mind. The modern way of saying thank you to your visitors include delectable desserts with recipes in it or even plants in small pots.

2009 wedding reception

Some choose to have their wedding celebrated outdoors. Many will choose to have the wedding ceremony in a church and the reception somewhere else. Others may opt to have the wedding ceremony and reception held in one location. This is very helpful because the guests do not have to spend time when traveling from one place to another.

For 2009, an environmental concept is integrated in the celebration. Aside from incorporating biologically and ecologically-friendly materials in the fabrics worn by the bride and the groom, garden weddings are always regarded. One may choose to give plants as gifts to their guests.

The role of the internet in 2009 weddings

Social networking is already a part of everybody's lives. Many of us spend hours surfing the internet for several purposes. And yes, you could do the same thing for planning your wedding day. Your web browsers could definitely contribute a lot when it comes to your wedding planning. From the proposal to consultation, seeking opinions from friends can be done through your computers. Besides this, you have a lot of online wedding shops which could give you a handful of help for wedding favors and other wedding-related materials.

More than coming up with creativity for bridal gowns and groom's outfits, 2009 wedding trends covers a lot of other aspects. You could always base your choices for your wedding ceremony from the above list. Never fail to add a touch of your own ideas. After all, the day is still yours to celebrate.

Planning a Simple Wedding Should be Easy, Right?

Nothing can be further from the truth imagining that planning a simple wedding is an effortless job. It can be just as intimidating a task as planning a large wedding. It can also be a lot of fun, but if not performed competently, it can turn into a disaster in the blink of an eye. Even though things are done a great deal simpler, you still need to carry out the majority of the steps as when preparing for a big wedding. In addition, you may have to perform a lot more research to find the best way to have your wedding within your budget.

Before making any lavish plans or comprehensive timetables, the first thing you must keep in mind is your available budget and your guest list. You have to take care of all the detail -- many couples don't consider beyond the honeymoon when planning a simple wedding. You should also learn to take the "something borrowed" phrase to heart.

If you're planning a simple wedding it's best not to leave anything to chance. The steps are basically the same as for planning any kind of wedding. You should get together with your partner and begin to note down the main things that need to be prepared.

Then you need to perform the following steps:

1. The first and most vital thing to do is to establish your wedding date.
2. Make an initial guest list. Be ruthless with the guest list and rather invite only close family and friends.
3. Draw up your budget.
4. Use the list of items that needs to be done and that needs to be purchased and make a timeline from it.

Tips for planning a simple wedding

1. Photography

Get a photographer that shoots digitally, so there are no proofs to approve first. Just make sure that you can get the high resolution digital images from the photographer before you book him or her. The photographer needs to releases all right to the images, and provide all images on DVD without watermarks. You can then have the best photos printed very cheaply at a digital printing kiosk.

2. The reception venue

You may have to do a lot of research, but you should be able to find the ideal venue for your budget. First look at the usual reception halls but then proceed to consider places such as museums, historic buildings, botanical gardens, vineyards, art galleries, and zoos (some even have reception halls available.)

3. Wedding cake

Instead of having a traditional wedding cake, you can have decorated sheet cakes.

4. Invitations

Rather print your own invitations than having them done at a print shop. You can get invitation kits from a local store and print them out on your own inkjet printer - and they usually look absolutely professional.

5. The music

Use your iPod or mp3-player with pre-defined playlists and set it up to play through a hi-fi system at the reception.

Are Cheap Wedding Plans Possible?

You had stars in your eyes when your partner proposed to you, but the stars soon disappeared when you discovered that it would be too expensive to have your dream wedding. You may have wondered about the question: are there such things as cheap wedding planning?

Don't despair; there are such things as cheap wedding plans! A cheap wedding can be every bit as beautiful and stunning as an expensive wedding -- it's all a matter of getting the best value for your money and doing a lot of the planning yourself. But bear in mind, you have to forget about using a professional wedding planner or coordinator and do it all by yourself. However, this does not mean that it is not possible for you to have a charming, stunning wedding. You can still have the delightful wedding you want on a smaller budget if you just plan it properly.

The steps for drawing up cheap wedding plans are essentially the same as for planning any kind of wedding. You should sit down with your partner and begin to note down the essential things that need to be done. Whether you are getting married next year or next month, planning the details of your wedding can help ensure that your wedding day runs smoothly.

You need to perform the following steps:
1. The most important thing is to establish your wedding date.
2. Make an initial guest list, and then cut it down to the essential guests.
3. Draw up your budget.
4. Use the list of items that needs to be done and that needs to be purchased and make a timeline from it.
5. Make a list of family and friends who have special talents, hobbies, or businesses that you can make use of.

Tips for drawing up cheap wedding plans

1. The wedding day
It is usually cheaper to get married on a Friday than on a Saturday. Also consider having your wedding on a weeknight or a Sunday. There is less demand for these dates, so vendors will most likely be willing to give you a better deal.

2. Master of ceremonies
You surely have a friend or a family member who has the gift of the gab and will do it as a favor or as a wedding gift. A professional MOC may cost you an arm and a leg.

3. The reception
Have a potluck wedding reception. Many guests may be delighted, if not relieved, to be given the choice to bring a reception dish instead of a wedding gift. You will save a lot of money on catering expenses this way.

4. Items for the reception
Don't buy - rent or borrow as many items as possible. For example, items that you can borrow are a cake knife, serving set and toasting glasses. You can also get many items cheaply from eBay.

5. The reception venue
If you get married in a church, try to rent the church hall as the reception venue. These are usually cheaper than other venues, and the guests don't have to leave the church grounds to travel to another venue.

How do I ensure that I keep within my wedding's budget?

Don't feel alone when you ask this question. Did you know that going over a budget is the single biggest worry for marrying couples? It has been estimated that about 80% of couples go over budget when planning for their wedding.

How Much is Too Much to Ask of Bridesmaids?


You hear it all the time: bridesmaids complaining about being in a wedding. But is the bride really a bridezilla, or are the bridesmaids just whiners? And how much is too much for a bride to ask of her bridesmaids, anyhow?

You are expected to buy the bridesmaid dress, no matter how much you hate it. A bridesmaid is also responsible for paying for her own hair and makeup for the wedding. Transportation is also on the bridesmaid, although the bride will often find a place that she can stay, such as a friend's home.

In addition, the bridesmaids will often chip in on a bridal shower, a bachelorette night, and of course a wedding present. If you have chosen a theme that will require attire that is really more costume than regular bridesmaid dress, the gracious thing to do is to cover the cost for your attendants.

Something else that the bride should avoid doing is confusing her bridesmaids with personal assistants, particularly for non-wedding tasks. If you really need help, hire a professional. Your bridesmaid are your friends, not your indentured servants.

The shower will feel much more special if it was not orchestrated by a domineering bride!.All of this said, most brides do not treat their bridesmaids like servants or cast members in a supper theater.


Finding Unique Bridesmaid Dresses

Executive Summary about wedding brides by Sarrah Beaumont

Bridesmaids complement the bride. Similarly, the bridesmaid dresses complement the wedding dress. You have already figured out every detail of your unique wedding - down to your unique wedding dress to your unique wedding invitations. Take down your gorgeous wedding dress, analyze it's style, it's cut and it's theme, then go from there.

Search for Greek-inspired bridesmaid dresses online. If your wedding dress is Hawaiian-inspired, then what logical reason is there other than to have Hawaiian themed bridesmaid dresses? If you are wearing a princess cut wedding gown, you may also opt to have princess-cut bridesmaid dresses.

Consult your bridesmaids on the designs which they like. You should follow the wedding motif. Green bridesmaid dresses would look awful if your theme is lavender. Similarly, fuchsia pink bridesmaid dresses would totally seem out of place if your wedding color theme is yellow.

You can choose bridesmaid dresses that may be just a shade or two darker or lighter than your wedding motif. All in all, the important elements in choosing your bridesmaid dresses can basically be summed up as these: Your wedding dress style, your wedding color motif, your theme and venue, your bridesmaids personalities and preferences, and of course, your bridesmaids' comfort.

10 Cheap Wedding Ideas

You were so joyful and thrilled when your partner first proposed to you, but once you began your wedding planning, it seemed that you will in no way be able to get married due to the lofty expenses. Does that sound like you? Have you run out of cheap wedding ideas?

Don't despair! It is feasible to plan for a moving and stunning wedding day without breaking the bank. However, you may need to sacrifice a little bit of everything just to make ends meet.

Here are some cheap wedding ideas that you can use:

1.The guest list
Invite only those closest to you, and you will save money on invitations, catering, and a assortment of other items associated with your wedding.

2.Invitations
Rather print your own invitations than having them done at a print shop. You can get wedding invitation kits from a local store and print them out on your own inkjet printer - and they usually look absolutely professional.
3.Wedding cake
Instead of having a traditional wedding cake, have a variety of smaller cakes, such as chocolate cake, etc.
4.The reception venue
Have your wedding reception outdoors -- ask if you could use a friend or family member's house, especially one with a very nice house and garden. Arrange for cleaning services to clean up after the wedding.

5.Photography
Get a photographer that shoots digitally, so there are no proofs to approve first. Just make sure that you can get the high resolution digital images from the photographer before you book him or her. The photographer needs to releases all right to the images, and provide all images on DVD without watermarks. You can then have the best photos printed very cheaply at a digital printing kiosk.

6.The wedding dress
Rather rent a dress than have one made at an extravagant cost, or scan the auction websites like eBay for a secondhand one.

7.Bridesmaid's dresses
Consider buying the bridesmaids' dresses at a store, instead of having them made -- this will also be a big money-saver. Another advantage is that they can be worn again after the wedding.

8.Catering
The catering can also become very expensive. Think about alternatives, such as having it at a restaurant (if you have a small number of guests), a buffet dinner, a finger dinner, or even a picnic.

9.Wedding album
You need to get the photos in digital format. You can then use a self-publishing website like Lulu.com, where you can upload your photos to and design your own wedding album with your own photos. The website will have your album printed in a professional glossy format with the type of cover you specify and mail it to you. Best of all, you friends and family can also order their own copies of the wedding album directly from the wedding website.

10.The drinks
Have champagne and fruit juice for the tables, but provide a bar where guests who want to drink alcohol or other soft drinks can buy their own drinks.

Appealing Wedding Favor Ideas

So you have everything nearly organized for your wedding. The dress is on its way, the cake has been picked, and you know what music you and your husband will dance to for your first dance. The register has been finalized for the presents and the honeymoon has been booked. But have you thought about your wedding favors?

Wedding favors tend to be the last thing that people think of getting when they are organizing their wedding, but they are still important in the overall wedding. Have you picked out ideas for your wedding favors and whether you will buy them or make personalized ones? You want to show your guest that you appreciated their attendance and you can do this through putting together a carefully thought-out wedding favor.

Distinctively You

Your wedding favor is supposed to symbolize who you and your fiancé are as a couple.

Unique ideas are always fun to come up with.Here are some ideas that you can use to have them personalized:

· One very inimitable wedding favor idea is to create a mixed song CD for your guests. Select the songs that you and your fiancé find significant. Of course put your first dance song on there, and any other songs that are used in the wedding. This unique wedding favor idea will be a hit among your guests!

· If you are having your wedding during the holiday season you could paint your names and the wedding date on an decoration.

· You could also put your names and the wedding date on a small plate, a keychain, or any other knick-knack.

· If your wedding is small a wedding favor idea is to make the gift personalized for your guest. Have their name put on the gift as an alternative of you and your fiancé's.

Budget Wedding Favor Ideas

It can be more than likely that you already have exceeded your budget on other important aspects of the wedding such as the reception, the reception hall itself, your dress, or the wedding cake. The wedding can really add up and before you know it you already have spend several thousands of dollars. If this is the case here are some wedding favor ideas for you if you are on a budget. You could bake cookies and wrap them in tissue paper that matches your color scheme. You could also wrap candy or chocolates in tulle and tie it with some ribbon. These are still good wedding favor ideas, but they will not break the bank!

All about Wedding Event Planning

If you are in charge of being the event planning specialist for a wedding reception, wedding rehearsal, or something else that goes along with being involved with the wedding then chances are that you know it is a huge responsibility.

Not only are the bride and the groom counting on you to make sure that every aspect of their wedding reception goes smoothly, but all of your event planning skills are being relied upon for the success of the whole event! Even though not many people will realize if a specific faux pax is made on your part throughout the reception or wedding event because it may be so small in nature, chances are that you realized that you have messed up.

Here are some things about wedding event planning that you should know about in order to create the perfect wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, and coordinating the cleanup efforts afterwards as well!

The Bride and the Groom

Even though the person charged with event planning for the wedding reception or the rehearsal dinner may feel overwhelmed at the great responsibility that he or she has, an important thing for the event planner to realize is that the wedding and everything pertaining to the wedding is all about the bride and the groom. Even though a lot of what's going on will feel like it has to do with the event planner him or her self, chances are that it will only feel that way because there is added pressure on the individual to make sure that things go off without a hitch!

Coordinating the Rehearsal Dinner

The rehearsal is just one aspect about wedding event planning that definitely should not be taken lightly! Even though all of the wedding attendants are not required to go to the rehearsal dinner for the bride and the groom, it would be a good idea if the wedding event planner were to convince everyone to attend! In addition, another very important thing that must be thought about when it comes to the wedding rehearsal dinner is where it will be held, what food will be eaten, and how long it should last. Of course, a lot of these things will be chosen by the bride and the groom itself, but the wedding event planner will obviously have to help them make some of the more important decisions, such as where it will be held and also to make sure the reservations are in place!

A Successful Wedding Reception

Perhaps the best thing about event planning for a wedding is witnessing the marriage ceremony and wedding reception to make sure that it all happens successfully with no real downfalls! The wedding reception is an important part of this; making sure that the bride and the groom have agreed upon the food that will be there, what type of cake they'll have, and where it will be held are very crucial issues to making sure everyone is satisfied! In the end, however, it all comes back to realizing that the whole wedding event is about the bride and the groom, and that is the secret to making sure that your wedding event planning efforts don't go to waste!

White Wedding Dreams of Every Young Girl

wedding
The white wedding dreams of every young girl are the driving force that creates a “bridezilla” out of a gentle and sweet mannered woman. If you are planning your wedding, it would be a great idea to stop and take a deep breath. Weddings have a way of spinning out of control when no one is looking. Suddenly, what began as a simple event to celebrate a lifelong love becomes a wildly expensive, out of control party that has a mind of its own.

Organization Is Fundamental To Remaining Focused On Wedding Budget

As you begin to plan your wedding, the very first day, make sure that you are focused on the wedding budget. The budget is going to be the only way you have to monitor the direction in which your wedding is moving. As your wedding begins to grow into an actual event rather than a simple concept in its planning stages, the wedding budget will be the best thing to help keep the spending focused.

Friends and family will not try to prevent you from buying the many different expensive extras that so many brides believe they need for their white wedding. These are the people that love you and want your dreams of the expensive white wedding gown, individually, hand-caligraphied white wedding invitations and the expensive white wedding decorations that will tie the entire theme together; not the individuals that are monitoring your spending habits or raining on your parade.

If you keep a close eye on your wedding budget you will always have a good idea of how expensive your wedding actually is becoming and how to keep the white wedding dreams alive without turning the wedding into a money pit.

Watch the Dollar Signs When Building the White Wedding of Your Dreams

It is no secret that weddings cost a great deal of money but they don’t need to send you to the poor house. With a bit of research, an eye for sales and the willingness to put effort into finding ways to cut costs, you can have an expensive wedding for very little expense.

Simple Ways to Cut Costs When Planning a White Wedding

Choosing to hold your wedding day is an easy way to save an incredible amount of money. Afternoon Sunday weddings or evening weddings on a Friday night are both economical alternatives to the Saturday night sit-down wedding. If you are not concerned with the specific date or the day or your wedding, you could choose a less expensive alternative to allow you more money to spend on other aspects of the wedding.

The most important part of planning your white wedding is to remember the love that created this wedding and focus on the importance of keeping that love as strong as possible and less about the expensive white wedding shoes that you cannot live without.

Look your best on your wedding day

wedding
In any Indian wedding, the look of the bride and the groom on the D-day is very important. Especially, the look of the bride, her clothes, her jewelry and make-up are given a lot of stress. In fact, in Indian matrimony, brides find it a very special thing to get ready for the ceremony. To look her best on the day of her wedding is every bride’s dream. Since marriage is the most important day of her life, she doesn’t want to leave anything to chance. Be it Hindu matrimony, Punjabi matrimony, Gujarati matrimony, Rajasthani matrimony or marriage from any region of India, the bridal look is generally very bright and colourful.

People can splurge up to any extent these days for the perfect wedding look in Indian matrimonials. But sometimes spending less can also get you the look of your dreams if you style yourself smartly.

Right from the outfit of the bride, to her make up, jewelry and hair-do, attention is given to even the smallest detail to make her look perfect on the matrimonial day. Brides have a lot of variety of wedding dresses to choose from like lehengas, saris, salwar-kameez or ghagara choli. However, the most popular outfit is lehenga choli. There is a whole market segment catering to the bridal demand of different types of lehengas. This outfit is worn on the main wedding day as well as the engagement ceremony and the other pre wedding rituals. It is an ancient dress and is available in traditional as well as modern form.

In Indian Hindu matrimony, red is considered the most auspicious color so red colour dresses for brides are very popular. But these days, variants of red colour such as maroon, pink, magenta, fuschia and wine have also become popular. Some brides also wear green or blue colour. The bold ones are experimenting with colors such as white, deep purple or other shocking colours. The right colour for lehenga is very important. Generally, the colour is chosen keeping the complexion of the bride in mind. For day time wedding ceremonies, one can choose colors like peach, lilac, pink, sky blue, sea green and for the evening wear, bright colors can be chosen.

Not just the colour but the style and the cut of the lehenga are equally important. It is the cut, style and colour that come together to make the perfect wedding dress for the bride For saris, these days, there are very different drape styles that make this ancient outfit look absolutely trendy and cater to the taste of the new age bride. The threadwork and the embroidery on the sari or lehenga should be carefully chosen too. The embroidery can be heavy or intricate, monotone or in different colours but it should suit the style of the bride.

Apart from lehenga, make up and hair do are also equally important. On the matrimonial day, brides ask their beauticians and stylists to give them the perfect make up which makes them stand out in the whole gathering. A glowing skin gives extra edge to beautiful skin. So, it is important for the bride to take care of her skin days in advance before the actual wedding day. Days preceding the marriage, she should avoid spicy, oily and junk food. Basically, anything that could give skin an allergy, irritation or swelling should be avoided. Obviously, drinking 8-10 glasses of water everyday will help. It not just flushes out toxins from the body but helps in giving a glowing skin.

Once you have a radiating skin, you are ready to decorate yourself for your special day. Preceding the matrimony, all care should be taken to keep feeling happy because it will reflect on the face. Sometimes, the beauticians conduct the mistake of overdoing the bride make up. If the clothes and jewelry are heavy, make up should be light. The bride’s face should look sober and beautiful and not overdone.

These days, the trend is to do glossy and shimmering make up. Once the make up is matched with the skin tone, it can make even the average looking girl look really gorgeous and attractive on her wedding day. The wedding get-up is not complete just with the dress and the make-up. Jewelry, footwear and hairdo are the other important things. Pearls, diamonds and the evergreen gold are the hot favorites of the brides. Indian matrimony is incomplete without loads of jewelry. Lastly, hair do should be given utmost importance. Generally, high buns are preferred by brides. Head accessories are also used to give extra style to the bun.

Taking care of all these things, an Indian bride is ready to walk the aisle and catch attention of all. Evan average and below average looking girls become the beautiful Indian brides on their wedding day. Thus, India matrimony is not just about show and celebration but also looking and feeling your best.
