Unique Wedding Ideas…

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Consider having your rings engraved on the inside with your entire wedding vows, or another personalized message. It’s always been a lovely tradition for couples to have the inside of their wedding bands engraved, but until now, the message had to be extremely brief. In the past it was usually only possible to engrave intials or the wedding date into the rings. However, one clever and creative jewlery company has now developed a way to engrave your entire wedding vows inside your wedding rings. Their unique and patented process allows multiple rows of engraving, so entire wedding vows or other complete messages can be inserted. This has never been offered before, and is only available through the one company which holds the patent. We LOVE this idea – we only wish someone had figured out how to do this sooner!

A wedding band is the most symbolic piece of bridal jewelry most people will wear. It represents the un-ending union of two people. It was originally believed that the ring finger has an artery that leads straight to the heart, and this is why the ring finger was selected for the important duty of wearing wedding rings. Once married, most people seldom take off their wedding rings, which also symbolize their faithfulness for each other. And the plain, traditional wedding band continues to be the most popular style because it captures the essence of love in its purest form.

Having the unique ability to engrave a full message – or your full wedding vows – into your wedding bands makes them all the more meaningful and precious. Those of us who are already married are eating our hearts out that this wasn’t available when we got our wedding rings! This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “It what’s inside that counts”!

Wedding Financial Tips

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Is your wedding on a budget? Let us help. There are many economical ways to put together an amazing wedding. Saving can be found at nearly every corner if you’re willing to put the time in to find them.

Tips on managing the wedding, and the marriage and wedding finances. Marriage can be an expensive event – the ceremony andreception require the most attention.

Weddings are an extremely special occasion for the bride and groom-to-be. There are so many finite details which go into planning a wedding that make this event a big deal. When planning a wedding, the couple needs to consider financial aspects with regard to their big day. There are a few financial tips for the happy couple so as to ensure that the financial planning which goes along with an event of this type will go as smoothly as possible.

Prepare a Budget

The first thing which a couple should do prior to purchasing any wedding suppliesor reserving any establishments for the special event is to sit down and make a budget. This is beneficial for a few different reasons. First, the couple will be able to mark down how much they are able to spend on the wedding ceremony, wedding reception and any and all other expenses which go along with planning an event of this type. Secondly, by preparing a physical budget, the couple can adequately prepare a list of what types of items they will need to purchase and approximate how much each one will cost.

Save Money by Planning an Off-Season Wedding

For those individuals who do not really mind what time of year they exchange vows, there is a way to save money on the wedding by planning the big day at a time of the year where not every other couple is getting married. Although individuals can and do get married twelve months out of the year, there are certain seasons such asspring and summer where more couples engage in their nuptials. Certain establishments may offer discounts to couples who get married in the “off-season”. Not only will the couple save some money but they may be more likely to have their choice when it comes to booking reception halls for the big day and be less likely to have the place filled up on that particular date.

Buy in Bulk

Another financial tip for couples to take advantage of when planning their wedding is to buy items in bulk. This is a distinct possibility with regard to weddings as there are usually quite a few guests who will be attending and one can often receive a discount on wedding related items that are bought in bulk, such as wedding favors in groups of 100 or 200, for example.

A wedding is such a special event that the couple is sure to want the day to go as smoothly as possible. In addition, they are most likely hoping to get as much for their money as possible and make the day as spectacular as it possibly can be. By creating an initial budget, considering getting married during the wedding off-season and attempting to buy wedding related items such as wedding favors in bulk, the couple can get the most for the money without having to spend a fortune on the wedding ceremony and reception.

Introduction

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

As you begin to plan and organize what will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable events in your life, keep in mind that early planning will lead to much more flexibility in the choices you will have in the up-coming months prior to your wedding day.

The many steps ahead have been spread over a duration of one full year and are presented here in a very simplified, chronological arrangement which you will find very easy to follow.

Wedding plans can most definitely be carried out quite successfully in less than one year’s preparation time. However, the shorter the time frame, the more the compromises and less favorable the choices you may have.

You will see that most, if not all, your first choices can be realized, if an organized and early start is undertaken. You will also know that nothing has been forgotten or left to chance, and that your wedding  day will stand out  and be remembered by all concerned.

A good place to start, is to write down what is to be done from month to month on a calendar. In this way you will feel less rushed and can see exactly that needs to be accomplished during each of the months ahead.

If you are fortunate enough to have bridal consultants in your area, take advantage of  the service. This expertise  will allow you more time to relax and enjoy the most important time in your life. Check on their reputation and background ensuring that they have no direct  connection to any business with which  you will be dealing.  Read over their contract and discuss all related fees, services and responsibilities.

Some modern couples  embarking on such a major commitment as marriage, mutually agree to draw up a “Marriage Contract”. This type of contract brings into focus exactly who is going to be responsible for which things, which tasks, are to be shared and identifies who contributes what to the marriage. If this idea interests you, there are several books devoted to topic.
