Brides often agonize over their wedding dresses. Bridal magazines feature wedding gowns that cost thousands of dollars, and the dress can often eat up a large portion of a bride's budget. One way to ameliorate the expense is to make the dress yourself, or to have the dress made for you, either by a professional seamstress or a friend or relative. Some nonprofessional seamstresses may fear tackling the intricate lace appliqués often found on bridal gowns, but in reality, sewing them onto the fabric is not difficult. Does this Spark an idea?
Have a Christian Wedding Night
Many true Christians still choose to wait until they are married before they engage in intercourse or any other type of sexual acts. This is meant to preserve their bodies as a gift to each other and to retain their purity for their chosen life mates. Traditionally, Christians reserved sexual acts only as a means to procreate. This negated any reasoning to engage in sexual acts before marriage.
Make a Wedding Cake Stand
Wedding cakes are elegant creations. Much thought and planning go into getting just the right wedding cake, but the cake stand is often overlooked. Bakeries frequently charge extra for the cake stand and some may not do anything more than set the cake on weak, foil-covered cardboard. Weak support for the wedding cake results in a crumbled mess. Making a strong, beautiful wedding cake stand yourself is an excellent solution that presents the cake attractively as well as giving it firm support. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Decorate a Large Area for a Wedding Reception
Every couple wants to find the perfect location for their wedding and reception. But once the reception area is pinned-down, the question becomes how to decorate the area. The challenge for a large reception area is to decorate it in a way that makes it more intimate and inviting for the guests.
Make an Inexpensive Tent for Weddings
Making your own tent for a wedding or other outdoor occasion can be an inexpensive alternative to renting one, especially if your party is small. In addition, this is a very easy project to assemble and disassemble.
This 20 by 15 foot tent can be staked into the ground, or cement blocks can be used to stabilize the poles. Any white, durable fabric can be used to create the tent cover (canvas, tent fabric, nylon). White PVC pipes can be left bare, or covered with fabric wraps, string lights, or flower or plant swags.
