The significance of the wedding cake has been loaded with symbolism - whether the bride and groom's first cut represents fertility, the first meal of a married couple or the beginning of a shared life - or simply the end of the wedding reception. (Note: The smashing of cake in faces is entirely optional!) Does this Spark an idea?
Address Wedding Response Cards
Wedding response cards are a courteous way to make it easy for your wedding guests to notify you whether they will be able to attend. Addressing the response cards is easy if you're familiar with the proper etiquette. Including pre-addressed, stamped response cards with your wedding invitations will make it as simple as possible to ensure that your guests get their RSVPs back to you in a timely manner.
Choose Jewelry for Your Wedding Day
Although all eyes will be glued to the beauty and symbolism of your wedding ring, other jewelry will round out your bridal look. Depending on your personal preferences, the cut of your dress and the style of your hair, you may opt for a necklace, bracelet or earrings. Coordination of gemstones is key, as are the jewel tones you choose. Does this Spark an idea?
Choose the Perfect Wedding Venue
Someone popped the question, someone else said yes. An engagement ring was given, a minister was decided on, now the only thing left is figuring out how to choose the perfect wedding venue. By following this checklist, you should be able to choose the wedding venue that is right for you.
Make an Ugly Wedding Venue Pretty
If you find that the available venue for your wedding isn't as pretty as you had dreamed it would be, don't despair. Common wedding decorations are pretty enough to cover up a multitude of flaws. The trick is creating an illusion with the materials you choose. By doing so, you can create a wedding wonderland that will totally transform even the ugliest of wedding locations. Plain meeting rooms, barns, church halls or outdoor venues can be spruced up with material, lighting, candles or plants, and it doesn't have to break your budget.
