Weddings are so much fun to decorate, and a great way to make your wedding feel special is to add in some unique accents which reflect your personal style. Why not begin by looking through the beautiful objects that you already have? This article will show you how to shop your own jewelry box for wedding decorations that go far beyond bridal jewelry.

Naturally, when you need jewelry, you go to your jewelry box. Of course, many brides will select new wedding jewelry to coordinate with their bridal gowns, so you might not even go to your jewelry box for that. However, if you start digging around, you might just find that you have some great pieces which you can use to add style to many parts of your wedding. Some of the jewelry might be sentimental, which is wonderful. Other pieces might be inexpensive but fun articles that you can use in unique ways.

Many brides are now choosing to bejewel their bridal bouquet wrap with something pretty, and the chances are strong that you have the perfect piece hiding in your very own jewelry collection. It could be a beautiful brooch handed down from your grandmother (great for your “something old”) or a new pin which happens to tie into your wedding colors. Another lovely bouquet wrap is something which many of us have kicking around in a drawer: a string of faux pearls or a crystal bead necklace. Have your florist secure the necklace around your bouquet handle for an easy way to add extra style to your wedding flowers without spending any money on new decorations.

What about that broken strand of crystals or pearls gathering dust in your jewelry box? Why not take it apart and find a new use for the gems? They can be individually wired into the wedding bouquets for a lovely accent. Or surprise your mother and mother-in-law with wedding corsages made from a pretty flower and your old jewelry. If you have enough random old beads, you can do all sorts of things with them. Fill the bottom of a small jar with pretty beads as a pen stand for the guest book table so the pen does not roll away. A low clear tray filled with pearls from broken necklaces would be a pretty base in which to display the escort cards. Certainly you would not use any pearls of high value for this purpose, but it would be a great use for inexpensive or faux pearls, which will look just as elegant as the expensive ones when used for decorations.

Vintage costume jewelry can be one of the best things to re-purpose into festive wedding decorations, especially if it is the cheap kind. A beautiful idea for the wedding favors would be to tie an eclectic assortment of old brooches or crystal button earrings to the tops of the boxes with ribbon. Many of the larger vintage “paste” or crystal earrings are the clip-on style with a backing which can be easily detached from the top of the earring (because it would look odd if the decoration still clearly looked like an earring). Glue a simple loop to the back of the newly liberated earring top, and slide a ribbon through it before wrapping around a favor box. The effect of all of the bejeweled favor boxes around the reception tables will be absolutely gorgeous!

How great you will feel to have finally found a good use for all of those mismatched old earrings, broken necklaces, and the brooches you never wear. And even better, they will add a unique personal touch to your wedding that will make it truly a one-of-a-kind event.

Almost every culture around the world celebrates a wedding with some sort of sweet treat, but they are not all the same as the traditional American white tiered wedding cake. Incorporating the wedding cake tradition of another country can be a fantastic way to pay homage to your heritage, play up your wedding theme, or just surprise your guests with something a little different. Take a look at these international wedding cake customs for inspiration.

One of the most delightful wedding desserts is surely the croquembouche, the traditional French wedding confection. A tower of custard filled pastries is formed into a tall conical shape and then drizzled with caramel to hold it together. Unlike many American wedding cakes, the croquembouche is presented in its natural color, which is a light brown. No colored icings or vibrant decorations are used, although they do sometimes feature petite flower blossoms tucked into the tower here and there. A croquembouche would be a marvelous dessert for a bride or groom with French heritage. It would also make a spectacular addition to a reception Viennese hour, following a traditional tiered wedding cake.

Italian wedding cakes are usually one layer – a large round puff pastry filled with vanilla cr

One of the most dramatic moments in a wedding is when the bride is walked down the aisle. The guests rise and all eyes are upon the vision in white as she glides down the aisle on the arm of her beaming father. That is the ideal, anyway. Between the dilemma over choosing which “dad” should walk her down the aisle and teaching him about his role, getting to that perfect vision can take a little bit of effort. This is what you need to know about the role of the bride’s escort down the aisle.

The first step is for the bride to decide whom she would like as her escort for the ceremony. It is traditional for the bride’s father to have the honors; in olden times, the patriarch was literally handing off control of the young woman to her new master, aka the groom. These days, we don’t much concern ourselves with the chauvinistic origins of certain wedding customs, and instead focus on how touching the moment can be. If the bride is close to her father, the choice of ceremony escort is easy.

However, life is not always so straightforward, and a large number of brides come from divorced parents. If the bride has maintained a relationship with her father, even if it is not that close, she will likely want her biological dad to be her escort. Things get tricky when the bride has been raised by her step-father and considers him to be more of a dad than her birth father. In that case, she can definitely request that her step-father be the lucky man to serve as her escort. The bride also has the option of side-stepping the father dilemma altogether and asking her mom or brother to walk her down the aisle. In the case of a deceased father, most brides will opt for their mother, brother, or another close male relative like an uncle or grandfather as the escort.

In Jewish wedding traditions, both the bride’s mother and father are her escorts down the aisle. This is a lovely custom, although if the bride’s parents are divorced, it can become complicated. Hopefully the divorced or estranged parents will be able to adopt a cordial tone for the duration of the wedding for the sake of their daughter’s happiness. If there is no way for the bride’s parents to stand near one another without World War III breaking out, then she can either choose to walk with one parent, or one parent plus a step-parent, if there has been a remarriage. Certainly if the bride is close to both of her parents, the idea of excluding one of them would be heart-wrenching, in which case her best bet is to privately explain to her divorced mother and father how much it would mean to her to have them both walk her down the aisle as Jewish tradition dictates.

After the bride has sorted out the question of who should walk her down the aisle, there is the matter of educating her escort on how to do so with grace and dignity. The number one job of the bride’s escort is to help keep her calm and upright on her way down the aisle. The father of the bride should place his arm through the bride’s, so that she can hold her bouquet in front of her. Linking arms is not only nice symbolism, but it ensures that if the bride should stumble, he will keep her on her feet. In addition to that, since they are walking arm-in-arm, the bride’s escort can help her to keep a steady pace during the processional. As nervous and eager as they are, most brides would practically run up the aisle, if not for their father maintaining a leisurely pace.

Once they reach the altar, the bride’s escort will do a few things. In most ceremonies, the officiant will ask, “Who gives this woman in marriage?”, at which point the escort will answer in the affirmative. If the bride is wearing a veil, her father may push it back to give her a kiss, taking care to not tangle it in her bridal jewelry. Sometimes the blusher will remain back, or sometimes the bride’s father will replace it over her face after giving her a kiss (once again taking care not to snag her bridal jewelry in the fine tulle netting). Then he will shake the hand of the groom, and take his seat on the bride’s side of the aisle, next to her mother if they are on good terms, or in the row behind her if not. Then it is time for the bride’s escort to sit back and enjoy the rest of the wedding ceremony.

Flowers are one of the most beautiful parts of a wedding, and they make a wonderful motif to carry throughout your day. Whether you are having a garden theme wedding, or just want something pretty to give your guests, wedding favors with flowers on them are one of the most special types of parting gifts you can choose. Take a look at these fantastic ideas for floral wedding favors that your guests are sure to love.

Favors which can double as place cards are always great, and there are several ways to do this with a floral theme wedding favor. If your wedding has a vintage flair in the details, especially your flowers, gown, and bridal jewelry, there are some wonderfully charming favor ideas with a touch of old-fashioned appeal. For an early spring wedding, take tiny terra cotta pots and paint them with chalkboard paint. Plant some sweet little pansies in the pots, and write the name of each guest on the chalkboard paint to mark their places at the table. It is a nice touch, and a favor which will add charm to your reception.

Many brides who like the idea of a floral favor enjoy wedding details with a natural feeling. If you are all about great handcrafted elements, such as a linen bridal gown and handmade jewelry, then choose a “hands-on” favor as well. A collection of seeds which your guests can take home to plant makes a terrific wedding favor. Either put them in pretty organza bags, or create your own vintage looking labels with your names and a cute saying on them. As for the seeds themselves, it would be marvelous if you could give your guests seeds which are the same variety as your wedding flowers. If not, simply choose your favorite flower or even your favorite veggie, such as heirloom tomatoes.

Edible favors are always a hit, and they can also be done with a floral theme. White chocolates in the shape of flowers would make an elegant flower design wedding favor. For a more casual gift, sugar cookies frosted to look like brightly colored gerbera daisies are sure to be popular with the guests. Place them in clear bags tied with a gingham bow and a little message of thanks from the bride and groom.

Candles are another popular type of wedding favor, and are easy to tie in with a floral theme. Select pillar candles which have been made with embedded dried flower petals and leaves to present to your guests. If you are very creative and your guest list is not prohibitively large, this could be a good idea for a diy favor. Another great idea would be to pick candles in your favorite floral scent in a solid color, and place them in sheer drawstring bags. Tie a cluster of silk flowers to the top of each bag for an instant floral accent.

There are many other pretty ideas for flower themed favors. From pewter wine charms in a sunflower shape to bottle stoppers with ceramic daisies on top, the possibilities are limitless. A flower design favor is a lovely way to thank your guests for joining you at your wedding.

One of the first steps after getting engaged is to select a date for your wedding. There is a lot than can go into this seemingly straightforward decision, though, and it can be more complex than it initially seems. Let these tips on choosing a wedding date guide you to the perfect date for your wedding.

A couple of basic things to consider when setting a wedding date are the season in which you would like to get married, where, and how long you are willing to wait. If you have your heart set on a destination wedding in the Caribbean, for instance, it would be best to avoid hurricane season. Women who become engaged at a popular time like Valentine’s Day will need to decide if they want to rush to pull together a wedding for this summer, or if they can stand to have a year and a half engagement and put off the wedding until next summer. There can be other personal preferences which come into play, as well; I have a friend who chose to be married in January (in the cold, snowy Northeast), because he knew that he would be a sweaty mess in a tuxedo on a hot summer afternoon.

Something else that can come into play when setting a wedding date is your budget. If you know that you want to plan an elaborate affair with all of the trimmings, it might be sensible to have a long engagement to allow you to save more money. A farther out wedding date also allows you to spread out both your expenses and your effort over a comfortable time period. Rather than spending every weekend in a frantic search for the perfect wedding gown and bridal jewelry, some brides prefer to have a more leisurely approach to wedding planning. When your wedding is over a year away, you can take your time choosing your gown, bridal jewelry, and other details, without a looming deadline hanging over your head.

Special dates can also be an important factor in setting a day for your wedding. Perhaps you would like to be married on your birthday, or your parents’ wedding anniversary. Maybe the anniversary of your first date would be a great time to get married. Calendar dates with auspicious numbers tend to be very popular, such as 7-7-07 a few years ago, or this year’s favorite, 10-10-10. conversely, some dates are often avoided due to specific associations. Would it depress you to host your wedding on the anniversary of a loved one’s passing, for instance? In a more general sense, September 11th remains a less-than-popular wedding date, despite falling within prime wedding season.

There are other dates which a couple would be wise to avoid for their wedding. Superbowl Sunday is top on this list, and the Saturday playoff dates are not much better. Be careful about planning your wedding over a major holiday, which could result in low attendance. You may think that a Christmas Eve wedding would be beautiful, but many of your guests would rather spend that day celebrating with their immediate family. If you are working on a tight budget, you can help yourself by staying away from the most popular wedding dates, such as Saturdays in June. The prices for everything will be at top dollar, and with so many brides seeking to host their weddings on that same day, there will be no room for negotiation with vendors (and possibly less personal attention from time-pressed vendors, as well).

There are so many things that go into picking the perfect date for your wedding. From religious factors to work obligations to your favorite flowers, there are any number of reasons why some dates will be more appropriate than others. In the end, the perfect wedding date ends up being a personal decision that only the bride and groom can make for themselves.

There are many wedding albums which are filled with the standard formal portraits. While often beautiful, these photos do not tend to say anything about who the bride and groom are, what they enjoy, or what makes them special. These are some great ideas on how to get wedding photos which reflect your life together.

One of the best ways to capture something special about the bride and groom in photos is to take them away from the reception site. So your first step is to find a photographer with an open mind and who has a creative mind and an artistic mind. The next step is to think about what is special in your lives, either as individuals or as a couple. It could be hobbies, a favorite place, a profession, a love of animals, or anything else that in fifty years from now will tell the story of your life at the time of your wedding.

If the bride and groom have a shared love for a place, that would be a natural destination for the wedding photo shoot. It could be a very specific place, such as a lake, or a mountaintop, or it could be a broader category like a city. The special place need not be formal or classically beautiful, either. If you spend every Saturday morning sipping coffee at your favorite cafe down the street, why not take a few photos there in your wedding attire and bridal jewelry? Think about how much fun you will have reminiscing over those pictures in years to come. Or if you fell in love in San Francisco, take some wedding portraits on one of the iconic streetcars. By capturing an image of the background of your love, it will help to tell the story of your romance.

Some of the most wonderful wedding photos are the most offbeat. I recently saw some pictures from a wedding in which the groom was a firefighter by profession. The entire wedding party posed for photos in front of a shiny red firetruck. Best of all, there were pictures of the bride, in her white gown and elegant bridal jewelry, riding in the front of the truck. It was a fantastic metaphor for the way in which she was now a part of her husband’s life. Not only that, they were just great looking pictures.

Many couples have a shared love of animals. If your wedding venue will not permit your pets to attend your event, have a friend bring them by for a few quick pictures outside. How sweet would it be for the bride and groom to pose for snapshots with a pair of Boston Terriers or with a big cat curled up on the groom’s lap? Even a larger four legged friend could get in on the action – imagine how grand it would be to have photos of the bride perched sidesaddle on her horse, for example. Just bring a lint roller for quick touch ups before returning to the reception!

If you can think of it, a good photographer can capture the special place or idea. Whether you are quirky, romantic, or creative, your story can be told in images. Having wedding photos which are not only beautiful, but which are expressive and personal will truly make your wedding album a cherished memento.

Okay, the big day is finally here, and in mere moments the wedding ceremony will begin! At this point, all of the big stuff should be under control, but there are still a few finishing touches to be put in place. Make sure that you do not overlook anything with this wedding ceremony checklist.

First, the maid of honor or the bride’s mother should spend a few minutes carefully looking over the bridal ensemble. The bride wants to look as perfect as possible when she makes her grand entrance, after all. Check to be sure that her veil is securely anchored and the headpiece is nice and straight. What about the bridal jewelry? Are her earrings properly fastened? Have any clasps on pieces of bridal jewelry slid to the front?

Then take a good look at the wedding gown itself. Have all the layers of the petticoat been pulled straight and given a good fluff? (Crinolines are notorious for getting bunched up under a wedding gown.) If the bridal gown has those little hanging straps, be sure that they are completed tucked into the side of the gown or better yet, just cut them out. Then do the same for the bridesmaids. If the bride’s dress has any bows or ribbons, make sure that they are tied perfectly and that the ends hang well. Does the bride have her something old, new, borrowed, and blue? And finally, someone should make certain that the bride does not have any lipstick on her teeth!

The groom has a few last minute tasks to undertake as well before taking his place at the altar. Is his breath fresh? If not, he can quickly pop a mint or a piece of gum. But for goodness sake, take the gum out of your mouth before the ceremony begins! I have actually witnessed grooms chewing gum while reciting their vows, and it looks absolutely terrible. Speaking of vows, if you have written your own for the ceremony, be sure you have them in your jacket pocket. The groom should also take a moment to comb his hair, straighten his tie, and adjust his boutonierre, if needed.

The wedding party should also get themselves ready before the ceremony music begins. Bridesmaids, if you need to adjust your strapless gown, this is the time to do it! Please resist the urge to tug on your dress while standing at the altar. Make sure that you have your bouquet close at hand, and that when you pick it up to process down the aisle, any bows or ribbon streamers are facing out. Like the bride, the bridesmaids should make sure that their makeup is fresh and unsmudged, and that their jewelry is secure with clasps hidden.

The best man has one incredibly important thing to check before the wedding ceremony, and that is the wedding bands. He should have them tucked into a breast pocket, ready to produce for the ring exchange portion of the ceremony. The best man can also do everyone a favor by ensuring that the groomsmen do not talk the groom into having too many celebratory drinks right before the ceremony. He would also be a good person to make sure that the troops are in order: shirts neatly tucked in, boutonierres in place, ties straight, and so on. With everyone looking their best, the wedding will be ready to go!

Couples these days want to make sure that their guests really have a fantastic time at their weddings. One great trend is to feature fun games at the reception which tie in with the style of the wedding. For some suggestions on wedding reception games, read on…

A wedding is certainly not a child’s birthday party, and certainly, you want to make sure that any games you choose to include are stylish and appropriate enough for an adult celebration. That said, there are numerous fun games which you can add to your post-ceremony party to make it fun and memorable. They can be a part of the main event, or tied into an after party when the traditional reception winds down.

For an outdoor wedding in the summer, old fashioned lawn games are a fantastic option. One of the best options is a game of croquet. This game has always been associated with genteel summertime gatherings, and so it is a natural addition to a wedding reception. Croquet would work very well for a vintage inspired garden wedding. It would be just as appropriate for a wedding with a classic preppy style wedding with lots of pearl bridal jewelry on all the ladies. Being a fairly easy game for anyone to pick up makes croquet a super choice for a wedding reception game.

If your family has always enjoyed relaxed parties, there are some informal lawn games which could be a fun addition to an outdoor wedding. Both bocce ball and horseshoes would be great games to feature at a casual afternoon reception. Set up the games a decent distance from the main tent or dining area, and be sure to have them oriented so that the participants will be throwing the balls or horseshoes away from guests milling about the reception area.

Wedding games can also be sophisticated. One of the most popular ideas for an elegant wedding is poker. This would not be such a great thing to set up during the reception itself, as you might well end up losing half of the guests to a long game. However, as the central event at a reception after party, poker is fantastic. It would be a perfect game to follow an elegant cocktail reception with the bride wearing a chic gown and lots of sparkling crystal bridal jewelry.

Design your wedding poker station to be very elegant. Think black tie, debonair, martinis, and Sinatra, rather than guys huddled around a folding card table with bowls of potato chips drinking beer from a can. A retro-chic vibe should be the goal. Think about creative options for winnings other than cash so your guests do not leave your reception with their wallets emptied out. Perhaps they could cash in their poker chips for tasty treats or golf balls with your wedding monogram on them. Be as creative as you like, just be sure to keep the poker games about the fun, not money (a good idea from a legal standpoint as well as a social one!).

Many other games or activities can be adapted as part of a wedding celebration. Think about which games were most fun for your families growing up. Including these sentimental pasttimes in your wedding reception will help to make it more enjoyable for both you and your guests.

Once you have found your dream wedding gown, it is time to start selecting your accessories. As every woman knows, the right shoes can make an outfit even more spectacular, and the wrong ones can leave you feeling uncomfortable all night. Here is how to pick the perfect wedding shoes, ones which will be both practical and fabulous.

The first step to finding the perfect pair of wedding shoes is to think about practical considerations. Where is your wedding taking place? If it is an outdoor wedding on grass or sand, you will need to be very careful about the type of heel you select. If you and your fiance are close in height, do you care about finding a low heeled shoe? Some brides worry about not towering over their fiances at the altar, while others do not give it a moment’s thought. Do you need a vegan shoe? (they do exist!)Other things to keep in mind include color, fabric, design, comfort, and price.

The more shoe you have showing, the more important it is to try to match the color to your wedding gown (unless you decide to go with a statement making shoe in a bold color like red or chartreuse). For white or ivory bridal shoes, a near miss on the color can be unattractive. A great tip is to always choose a silk shoe to wear with a silk wedding gown. The texture and color of polyester fabric wedding shoes will never look right against the silk. As a bonus, the natural materials of a silk shoes will breathe and move better with your feet for greater comfort over man made materials. The color and texture match is far less important on a strappy sandal with barely anything to it than a traditional pump.

Try to select wedding shoes which complement the style of your gown. For instance, a lighter-than-air organza gown will look best with delicate bridal shoes, rather than a heavier looking pair which will drag down the entire outfit. Retro 1950s inspired bridal gowns are all over the runways these days, and the shoes which are prettiest with them are classic styles like D’orsay pumps and closed toe slingbacks. On the other hand, if you have a wedding dress with a 1940s flavor, a platform or a t-strap shoe would look fantastic. Strappy sandals add the right touch of glamor to slinky modern gowns, and flat dressy sandals are great for beach wedding dresses.

Once you have decided on a general style for your wedding shoes, it is time to start thinking about embellishments. Many brides like to have special details on their shoes which coordinate with the feel of their bridal jewelry. For instance, a bride who is wearing a crystal bridal jewelry set might like wedding shoes with a crystal or rhinestone detail on the toe. Brides who like the traditional look of pearl bridal jewelry can select shoes with seed pearl beading on the strap. These small accents are what take a pair of shoes from pretty to gorgeous, and every bride deserves to feel fabulous on her wedding day, right down to her toes.

Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking, even for a small one. When you have numerous other commitments, it can be nearly impossible to enjoy planning your wedding on top of everything else that you have to do every day. These tips will help you find a way to balance a wedding with work or school.

Timing, as they say, is everything. There is no doubt that as soon as he pops the question, most women start thinking about having the wedding and getting married. The idea of putting off your nuptials due to the other things going on in your life can seem downright unromantic. On the other hand, if you know that you are in a hectic part of your life now, but that in a year things will have settled down, a long engagement might be well worth the stress saved.

Balancing school with planning a wedding can be one challenge. Although it seems very exciting to graduate from college in May and get married in June, the truth of the matter is that you might have more fun with both your senior year and your wedding planning if you push the wedding back to the following year, or at least until the autumn. After all, you don’t want to feel rushed when you are shopping for your wedding gown or bridal jewelry because you have an exam looming that you need to study for. Nor do you want to miss out on the best venue or band because your weekends were so tied up with school that you did not get anything booked.

For many brides in school, the best balance can be found if they set a wedding date in the fall after graduation. That way, while you are on winter break, you can handle the big stuff like booking a venue, ordering your wedding gown, and finding a caterer while you are not in school. Once the spring semester starts, you can shift your focus back to your education, and then when graduation is past in May, devote your attention back to the wedding planning just in time to get it all ready for the fall. This is a nice compromise, as you do not have to delay your wedding for too long, but neither your education or wedding planning will suffer from split attention.

Women with demanding careers would be wise to determine if the workload is temporary or ongoing before jumping into the wedding planning process. In other words, if you are finishing a medical residency, you would be insane to try to plan a wedding at the same time, but waiting is not so terrible, because there is a definite end to that particular work situation. On the other hand, if you are trying to make partner at your law firm and eighty hour weeks will be the norm for the foreseeable future, there is no point in waiting, since things are unlikely to change.

When a demanding career is the norm for you, the best possible thing which you can do for yourself is to hire a wedding planner. You don’t want your work to suffer from a lack of attention, but nor do you want your wedding to be a disorganized mess. Find a coordinator that you really trust, give her some basic information, and let her run with it. Giving up control can be challenging for Type A brides, but in this case, it may well be the only path to sanity and a beautiful wedding. Better yet, plan a destination wedding at a beautiful resort. They are used to taking care of most of the details for their long distance brides, and when you are working a grueling schedule, a trip to a tropical paradise is exactly what you need! You can have your dream wedding and a relaxing vacation, all in one. What could be better?
