Weddings: Decisions, Decisions
Once you begin planning a wedding, you'll quickly encounter lots of options and choices for which you need to make decisions. These range from flower arrangements to destinations. Even then there are more choices! For example popular wedding destinations include Cancun, Hawaii, Australia, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Greece, Italy, France, Fiji, the Maldives, Thailand, Bali, Bora Bora, and anywhere in the Caribbean. How do you make the choice? You'll need to consider the music played during the ceremony. What will you choose and why? The music played during the ceremony includes prelude, processional, ceremony, recessional, and postlude music. The newlywed's entrance is grand and spectacular so it needs to have music that complements the entrance; your friends and family will be watching so choose the right music for this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Also, consider the reception music and who will play it. The type of wedding cake is a big, delicious decision. Size, shape, color, quality, style, etc. are all facets to consider carefully. Should it be round, square, themed, or heart-shaped. Do you want it made or flavored with the best chocolate, carrot, lemon, rum, vanilla, or other exotic taste? How many tiers do you want? What about the filling? Remember, you'll be saving the top tier for the first anniversary of your wedding. Slice it off before the cake is cut - neatly, and wrap it in several layers; next, store it in the freezer until your first anniversary arrives. A local bakery can deliver the best quality. Don't necessarily rely on a hotel because they can leave you wanting on quality. Even then there are even more choices! For example, there is the wedding videographer or, at least, a freelance photographer. Today's wedding videos are much different than former ones. They can be edited, produced, and have music, sound effects, slow motion, and other "special effects" put in for fun. Smaller, more light-sensitive cameras are available to today's videographers. This means less anxiety and cumbersome cables and cords. You can get a documentary-style video of the day just how it happened, or you can make it more cinematic. Furthermore, the cinematic approach to the wedding can be reflected in a wedding with a lot of glam, posed shots, and royal fashion. Book the videographer several months in advance, usually about 9 months minimum. Don't pick the first videographer you come across. Instead, look through his past work for samples. A good portfolio of videos speaks volumes about what you'll see. Look at the brightness, quality of sound, the picture, and other indicators. A good videographer should have some samples for you to look through. Always look through bridal publications and do a lot of interviewing yourself beforehand. But what about the flowers? Pink, purple, orange, red, white, yellow, or any of numerous beauteous shades will be used for the bride's bouquet, the bridesmaids' hairpieces, the flower girl's hairpiece, the bride's going away corsage, the tables, e.g., head, guest, buffet, punch, the groom's boutonniere, the maid of honor's hairpiece, the alter candelabra, and the aisle pews - to name but some. If all else fails - or if you just want a little extra help - contact a certified wedding planner or wedding consultant.

Gazebo Weddings Are A Novel Way To Celebrate Your Most Memorable Day Of Your Life
Outdoor weddings have gained popularity in the recent past and wedding organizers and planners seem to be continuously searching for exciting outdoor places where weddings can be conducted as per the traditions? dictate. The love for outdoors often takes the would-be couple on exotic locations such as beaches of Hawaii, Switzerland, the Caribbean and so on. The Gazebo Weddings Are Becoming A Fad Today Many people love the idea of having a gazebo wedding. Some use ready-made gazebos that are already erected in parks and hotels, for example; while others choose to build their own to accommodate all that they wanted to be included for the occasion. Taking the hint from the growing popularity of these gazebo weddings, a good number of star hotels have added the gazebo on their lawns as permanent fixtures, while yet others are ready to erect portable (tailor-made) gazebos for any and every occasion required. Once the location of the gazebo weddings has been decided, the wedding planner usually takes over for decorating the enclosure with flowers and other attractive materials. This could be the photographer?s paradise as he/she can take photos from all the sides, and hence cover the ceremony better than normally could be done. You will have a choice from circular, hexagonal, octagonal and plain rectangular shapes as the gazebo for your gazebo weddings. After choosing the shape, color and the design of the panels, you could spend some time to think of a wonderful theme, and then decorate the whole place to go along with the theme. It would be a good idea to inform your guests about the theme you are thinking about so they could also come prepared to blend in with the theme and enhance the pleasure derived from the party. It is preferred that you plan thoroughly (and even have a rehearsal) about how things would take place at a gazebo weddings. In some cases, the gazebo could be used for the wedding ceremony itself ? where only the couple would stand for the solemnization; or accommodate all the guests. This would depend upon two main factors, i.e. the size of the congregation and that of the structure. All in all the idea to have a wedding in a gazebo looks like an excellent choice. However, the would-be wedded couple and their parents should make it a point to look up all the pros and cons of such an arrangement before taking the final plunge. The gazebo weddings can indeed be highly affordable without compromising in any way the glamour and the charm of a wedding ceremony. It would also be quite exquisite with all the guests able to enjoy the open-air ambiance. About the Author: Ann Marier has written many articles on health problems and useful house and garden Topics.

Private Labeled Bottled Water And Weddings
For most people, the wedding is a very import event in their lives. The joining of two people and the creation of a new family is one of the most meaningful occasions in a person?s life. Weddings are complex and memorable events. Weddings take extensive planning and good execution as a great number of people come together to celebrate the occasion. Both the wedding itself and the related reception, showers and pre-wedding parties can benefit from custom designed private label drinking water. One very effective way to establish a theme and create reminders of the memorable occasion is private label drinking water. Since a wedding is celebratory with food and refreshments for a large number of persons, private label drinking water serves a number of functions: - The label can be designed to celebrate the occasion with quality designed artwork that reflects a custom message and theme - The drinking water in the bottle is refreshing and healthy - Many of the participants will save the water as a memory of the event - The private label water can be combined with other items to create memorable party favors and gift baskets Private label drinking water affords a wedding planner the ability to create a custom designed label with a very personalized message that meets the specification of the wedding couple. Since the event is personal, an individualized thematic message can be created. With the proper technology, high quality individualized graphics can also be added to create a personalized memory. Personalized Bottled Water Memories Personalized bottled water is an excellent way to preserve the memory of the wedding event. With a custom designed label for every occasion, the water can be consumed at the wedding or at a later date. In addition, personalized bottled water is ideal for the common theme of the wedding and associated wedding parties. The technology is available to create a cost effective, high-quality personalized label that imparts a lasting message. Application of a custom designed label to a quality water bottle adds a powerful and distinctive message and advertising component to a high-quality refreshment drink. Often referred to as consumable advertising, personalized bottled water can include graphics and pictures as well as text that can refer to a specific wedding event and can often be modified for subsequent events. Designed labels can also be stored for future use and other occasions like anniversaries and birth announcements. An important feature of branded drinking water is the long term nature of the message. Many people who receive private label water tend to retain the bottles because of the uniqueness and quality of the label. Create a Personal Message and Brand Although brand creation has been identified in the corporate world, individuals can also create their own brand image related to their own interests. Private label water for weddings and anniversaries, the golfer, hunter, fisherman or sports car enthusiast for example can convey a personal message or one related to an individual?s club or organization; personalized branding can also create interest and enjoyment at future events or family gatherings. The key to the creation of an effective message is through the development of a unique and focused idea that is simple yet powerful. As a result, care must be taken during label design to maintain quality and keep the message as simple as possible. The Element of Quality An overriding feature in the creation of personalized bottled water is the consideration of quality in three areas: - Quality of water The basic element of private label bottled water is, of course, water. However, there are many differences in the quality of bottled water. Ultra-pure bottled water produced by a combination of the distillation, filtration and oxygenation processes is considered by many to be of the best quality because it tastes very good and does not contain minerals, contaminants or bacteria. - Quality of packaging Since personalized bottled water combines health, refreshment and advertising, the packaging component must make a bold and forthright statement. Substandard bottle quality will seriously compromise the strength of the message. - Quality of labeling design, printing and application The label is the most significant part of private label drinking water; the message must be communicated in the strongest and clearest way in order to extend its original intent to the consumer. The label should be developed by a graphics designer or with technology that will aid the consumer in developing their own quality image. Printing is especially critical and the printing process should create labels that are guaranteed to have the same quality of any top-shelf brand in your gourmet or quality food store. All labels should be waterproof and preferably laminated to ensure a long service life. What to Look For In a Private Label Water Supplier Personalized bottled water has become increasingly popular for personal life style events. This is particularly true with the advent of e-commerce that allows users the ability to design a label and purchase water online. Quality is critical because the label serves as a statement for the individual. If any portion of the water, package or label combination contains substandard quality, then the entire product is compromised. Reliable vendors with a reputation for quality, customer service and the ability to design labels and provide online service will almost always guarantee customer satisfaction.

Flip Flops At Weddings?
Remember when wearing a black dress to a wedding was socially unacceptable? Well, those days are long gone, as black is now one of the most popular dress color choices for formal events, including weddings. The same trend is being set for flip flops worn by brides and bridal parties at weddings. As you may be well aware, flip flops are in, and have become a relatively new fashion statement. The styles and options have dramatically increased compared to what was offered several years ago. In searching retail stores or on the Web, you will find yourself inundated with endless options to adorn your feet. There are so many beautiful choices. Flip flops come in every color and style imaginable. Choices range from flowered flip flops, flip flops with jewels, to even unique "Design Your Own" features offered by some companies that enable you to create your perfect pair. The flip flops of today now offer great style with comfort! While flip flops have become popular among students all the way through business professionals, the flip flop craze has even spread to more formal events, such as weddings. Many brides are finding that they prefer to be comfortable during their big day. And why not when they can have beautifully decorated white flip flops with satin roses in ivory or white to match their dresses, or perhaps crystals are the preferred choice. The options are endless, and elegance does not have to be sacrificed for comfort. It is not uncommon for brides to outfit their entire bridal parties with custom made flip flops to match the bridal gowns. While preserving elegance and style, flip flops afford the whole bridal party the comfort to have a great time minus the blisters and sore feet normally assocoiated with wearing new heels or dress shoes. Many brides choose to give the flip flops as gifts to the bridal party the night before the big day at rehearsal dinner. Similarly, bridal parties tend to give the bride a fun honeymoon gift which could in fact be a unique pair of flip flops. Either way, it is important to get the correct foot size before your purchase. Times have changed, especially when one considers what is a "socially acceptable" fashion sense. So if you thought that wearing flip flops was only reserved for beach weddings- well then you are wrong. About the Author: Marlyse Minnich http://www.walkingonroses.com

Revealed: The Hidden Mystery Of Love, Romance, Weddings And You
Most of us have read enchanted fairy tales or watched animated movies like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. These stories and others seem to reveal something intrinsic about our own hearts. We are fascinated with beauty. We are exhilarated by romance. We are enamored with the lives of royalty. Any idea why? There?s Something Magical About Love, Romance And Weddings Sure there?s the promise of bliss and living ?happily ever after?. Oh, it sounds wonderful! But, there?s also the sad reality that 50% of marriages end in divorce. This is a staggering statistic. But, what is more astonishing is that those statistics do not dissuade love, romance or marriage. Divorced men and women often find love again, and many marry again. Love, romance, and weddings continue. Why? As a kid I enjoyed many hours of play with my friends, cousins, and siblings. We would perform our very own fairy tale weddings. We would dress up as a princess, a queen, or a bride. Some weddings were grand events. Others were intimate gatherings. The joy of this was that YOUR wedding could be anything your heart desired. In our ?make believe? world, all of us would experience the delight of being chosen the bride or groom, the king or queen, the prince or princess. We were fascinated with the idea of being royalty. And we never seemed to grow tired of exploring this dream in our hearts. Could it be that our pretend play reveals an innate longing ? a craving inside all of us to be chosen, to be loved, to be cherished, to be special, to be pursued, and to be enjoyed by someone? To Be Desired Is Powerful It?s exhilarating, energizing, and motivating. We long to hear these words, ?Will you marry me?? What happens in your heart when you hear those words? Naturally, you feel desired. You feel chosen. You feel enjoyed. You feel valued. You feel special. Why? In The Beginning Before creation, the heart of God passionately desired relationship. He had a plan to create men and women who would choose to receive His love and to love Him in return by their own choice. God?s heart was full of desire, affection, pleasure and delight when He made YOU. You were made in His likeness and in His image (Genesis 1:26, 27) You were created with the capacity to have intimate relationship with God. This is a staggering truth about who you are! Think about this ?God, who made billions of galaxies, used His wisdom and power to create you with the capacity to intimately relate to Him. Consider This? Who is the most powerful man or woman in history? And, how did they use their power? Sadly, most use their power to make servants, slaves or to deceive, manipulate, demand harshly, and control us. And how does the Creator of everything you see and can?t see use His power? He created YOU! Love Is Not Love Without A Choice Therefore, because of God?s love for you He created you with dignity and worth and He will never violate your free will. God never uses his power to abuse, enslave or force us to love Him. He will never make you say yes to Him. The Original Plan In God?s Heart For You Adam and Eve were made in the image and likeness of God. They were created to live in intimate fellowship with God in paradise, and enjoy the greatest of human pleasures. Through their own choice sin and death entered the world. Consequently, the intimate relationship that Adam and Eve enjoyed was suddenly injured by guilt and shame over their sin. Did God have a plan? Absolutely! John 3:16 says it best, ?For God loved YOU so much that He gave His only son that whoever would believe in Him would not perish (live separated from their Creator) AND would have eternal life? (live in intimate relationship with God forever). You are loved by God. The angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream and said, ??.The child who has been conceived in Mary is of the Holy Spirit. She will have a son and you will call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins?. There Is No Greater Love Than This God gave His only son, Jesus, who came from heaven to earth in the lowliest, most humble conditions on earth, to live among us. Why? Because, He knew something about your design that you did not know. You Were Not Made To Live Separated From Your Creator Jesus? last prayer before He went to the cross was ?Father, I desire. I want to be with them. I want them to be with me? (John 17:24). Jesus asked His Father for a bride. Can you feel the desire in His heart for you? You are desired by God! God Has Affectionate Desire For You God described His joy, ??as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you? (Isaiah 62:5). God rejoices over you! Hosea was the first person to speak about the reality that Jesus, the Messiah, is a bridegroom. Hosea said, ?It will come about in that day, declares the Lord, that you will call me husband?.I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, in love and kindness and in compassion, And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, then you will know the Lord?. (Hosea 2:16, 19-29). The Kingdom Of God Is Led By A Messiah Who Is A Bridegroom ?He who has the bride is the bridegroom...? (John 3:29) Jesus said, ?? the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son?? (Matthew 22:2). Jesus, the Messiah, is a bridegroom. His heart motivation is that of a bridegroom. He has affectionate desire for you. You?re His inheritance, His eternal companion, and His love for you has been burning in His heart from the beginning. Ephesians 3:9 tells us that this MYSTERY was hidden in the heart of God for ages. This Bridegroom will do whatever it takes to win your heart with His great love, compassion, tenderness, and righteousness. You will call Him husband, lover, protector, provider, and shepherd of your heart. He gives you security, blessings, provision, safety ? a place of enduring comfort and hope. When you say yes to Him you become royalty, His cherished bride. Love, romance, and weddings first began in God?s heart!

A themed wedding can be as casual and light hearted as you want. Chances are, you guests will not soon forget your wedding. When planning a themed wedding, consider what you and your partner have in common. Is there anything that either one of you are particularly passionate about? Often times, you are able to work your passion into the theme of the wedding. There are many great ideas out there for a themed wedding. A Roaring Twenties wedding can be a fun and exciting time. You could incorporate swing music into the wedding. The wedding dress could be based on the 1920's era. Maybe the 1920's are less to your liking, then maybe consider a 1960's wedding. Guests will love the peace signs, psychedelic colors and flowers strewn about. If the couple are sports fans, then perhaps a sports themed wedding is in order. The groomsmen could dress in their favorite sports uniforms, while the bridesmaids can dress as cheerleaders. You could also incorporate the wedding theme into the party favors. For instance, you could give out baseballs or hockey pucks. Another idea for a themed wedding is a Fairyland wedding. The bride could easily add wings to her dress, while the guests dress in various mythical creatures. Hawaiian themed weddings are a fun way to go. Both the bridal party and wedding guests can dress in Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts and fresh leis. For decorations, you could have a few surfboards strategically placed. Tropical drinks served in coconuts would be a huge hit with your guests. Perhaps a pirate themed wedding is more to your liking. You could decorate the reception hall to resemble a deck of a ship or an old saloon. You could add hooks for hands, peg legs and eye patches to your attire. Wedding gifts could easily be stored in a treasure chest. With a Stars Wars Wedding, Princess Leia could marry Han Solo. The best man could dress up as Chewbacca, while the couple is married by Darth Vader. If you are a Star Trek fan, you could have your wedding on the bridge of the Enterprise. The best man could be dressed as Mr. Spock, while one of the groomsmen dresses as Chekhov, Scotty and Sulu. You could have your wedding reception resemble an interplanetary meeting of Romulans, Klingons, Vulcans and Andorians. Perhaps Lord of the Rings is more your style. You could dress up as Arwen and Aragorn and get married. You could have the wizard Gandalf perform the ceremony, while children play the part of little hobbits. When it comes to a themed wedding, the possibilities are endless. Your imagination is your only limitation. So if you are a fun spirited person, go with it and have a fun themed wedding.

Ethical And Green Weddings
Many of the rich and famous including Charles and Camilla served organic food at their wedding, but elsewhere it is very much on the wedding menu as brides and grooms go ethical on the most important day of their life. Make your wedding a special day - for you and the planet. To help, we have put together a list of suggestions and pointers towards your ethical big day, from the ceremony and catering, to an eco-friendly honeymoon. Ethical Weddings can include using: - A venue operated on environmentally friendly principles or supporting a charity or community project - A caterer using organic and local produce - A dressmaker or designer using organic, hemp or recycled fabrics - A florist working with organic or fairtrade flowers - An environmentally friendly means of transport such as horse and cart - Stationery designed on recycled or hand crafted paper - Wedding rings that use recycled gold or fairtrade silver or by buying diamonds that are conflict free - Not accepting traditional household wedding gifts such as toasters but accepting donations to charity on your behalf - Using biodegradable confetti Im now going to expand on a few of the points above: Wedding Lists The first casualty is the traditional wedding list, a monument to conspicuous consumption featuring dinner services and crystal to be replaced at fashionable weddings by charity lists, with tree plantations and donated cows for communities in the developing world. If you are green fingered, how about plants, trees or garden vouchers. Wedding Staionery Use recycled paper for wedding stationery, or try Recycled Paper. To save paper, you could design a website, and send a postcard to guests referring them to it. Wedding photos can be easier to share if you go digital too. The Dress Another option is to hire the gown and other wedding outfits instead of buying it and then putting in the warbrobe just to pull it out for the occasional look! Drink Buy organic or fairtrade wine for your guests and enjoy the revelry while nature and communities benefit. Order wine, spirits, champagne, beer and soft drinks from an independent online organic retailer while avoiding the supermarkets that make millions in profits. Food Support local, seasonal and organic food production - and ask your caterer to do the same. Avoid disposable plates and make sure empties end up in the recycling bin. Ask your cake-maker or local baker to use local and organic ingredients where possible. Transport Find a venue as close to home as possible to cut down on transport. Horse drawn carriages are not only good at seaside resorts but also on your wedding day. If you dont have the ceremony and reception at the same venue, encourage guests to share rides to the reception or provide a coach or bus. Honeymoon Think about romantic destinations you can visit that are as close to home as possible to reduce the number of road and air miles. If you decide to go longhaul, then find an eco friendly or ethical hotel to stay in.
