Arrange a Cocktail Wedding Reception

It's no secret that weddings are expensive. Many couples spend a ton of money on an event that lasts only a few short hours. Even though your wedding is an event that you want to celebrate, you don't want to go into debt for it. In lieu of a traditional sit down reception, you should consider arranging a cocktail wedding reception.

Decorate a Wedding Trellis
A decorated wedding trellis is a beautiful backdrop for a wedding altar. They look stunning for a garden or outdoor wedding, but they would also make a lovely addition to an indoor ceremony. Decorating a wedding trellis is easy to do, but give yourself some time to accomplish the task in case you need to make quick trips to the store for extra supplies. Gather your bridesmaids together a couple of days before the wedding to decorate the wedding trellis. Store the trellis indoors at the location of the ceremony. This will prevent possible damage from occurring if transported from somewhere else.

Primp for the Wedding Night
Whether it is the first night you will spend with your beloved or you have been living together for years, you will want to spend time primping for your wedding night. Making the night special and memorable can kick off a splendid relationship and many long nights together. Show you care by making this first wedding night the best you can. Does this Spark an idea?

Use Live Butterflies in a Wedding
Create a memorable addition to any wedding by releasing live butterflies as a part of the celebration. There are several ways to incorporate a butterfly release into your wedding plans. Some brides choose live butterflies instead of the traditional rice or confetti wedding guests throw at the departing couple as they head for their honeymoon getaway. It takes advance planning and care to use live butterflies in a wedding and choose the right moment for their release.

Make Wedding Cookies With Powdered Sugar
These cookies are similar to truffles since both are centers rolled in a powdery exterior. For truffles, it is cocoa powder, and for wedding cookies, it is powdered sugar. These are a better option to serve at a wedding instead of truffles, since the cocoa powder could stain the white clothing many wear to weddings. For easier cleaning, you can shake these cookies in a zip top bag with the powdered sugar. You can double this recipe to increase the yield. This makes about 18 to 20 cookies.
