Destination weddings are a popular trend among brides and grooms. They bring some difficulties, however, in the transportation of all the items brides need for their day. Possibly the most difficult but most important item is the bride’s gown. Even the simplest gowns tend to be large and cumbersome and their white or off-white colors are susceptible to stains. Whether your wedding is at a foreign destination or just a state or two away, careful packing and traveling will keep your dress safe and ready for the big day. Does this Spark an idea?
Make a Square Wedding Cake
Square wedding cakes offer an unusual twist on the traditional round wedding cake. Square cakes can be placed in tiers, similar to round cakes, or placed at different angles to provide an interesting look. While many bakeries and professionals who make wedding cakes can create a square wedding cake for a couple, square wedding cakes can also be accomplished at home with a little extra effort and preparation.

Perform a Wedding as a Notary
For a notary public, being asked to officiate at a wedding ceremony is a great honor and responsibility. Only three states currently allow notaries to officiate at wedding ceremonies. If you're a notary from Florida, Maine or South Carolina, you're legally qualified to solemnize a marriage. Even if this is your first time performing a wedding ceremony, you can help create a perfect wedding day by planning ahead, educating yourself and consulting with the couple.
celebrate your parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary
If you are lucky enough to be able to celebrate your parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary you should do your best to make it special and show your parents how much you appreciate and admire them. My siblings and I were lucky enough to be able to celebrate our parents' 50th wedding anniversary with them last year. We began planning for it a year ahead of time! We got lucky because my parents took the whole family (16 of us) on a cruise as part of their celebration. Not everyone will get to do this of course, but what matters is that the family gathers together to commemorate this special day. Does this Spark an idea?
Choose a Wedding Dress
Buying a wedding dress can be an arduous process. On average, a bride will try on about 16 or 17 gowns before finding the perfect dress. Start the process at least seven months prior to the wedding if you are having the dress made.
