This cheap glamorous centerpiece is amazing! Once you see the finished product and then realize it was made out of mostly recycled, free or cheap materials you’ll be inspired.
1) Spray paint the bottom of a clay pot black, or whatever color you choose. Once dry paint the top rim a difference color.
2) Collect branches to put in your pots. I just cut branches from a tree in our yard and used one large branch per pot.
3) Fill the pot with rocks to help secure the tree branch.
4) Create the toilet paper ornaments by cutting a swatch that will cover the toilet paper roll. Don’t worry about getting all the way to the top and bottom because your accessories will cover it up. Once you have glued the fabric to the roll, punch two small holes in the top of the roll, one of each side and then thread wire or string through the holes as a way to hang it. Finally, glue beads to the bottom and add a small boa to the top – or whatever trimming accessories you choose. (fringe, ribbon, etc)
5) Collect gems with holes in the top to hang from the branches. You can find gems at Michaels and other craft or bead stores. Then thread with clear string or wire and hang from the branches.
6) Glue orchids randomly on the branches and finally, cover the top of the pot with flowers or moss to cover the rocks.
Have fun!

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”!

Okay, so you’ve decided to go for it. Where do you begin? The lists in bridal magazines or at department stores are a little too, um, thorough (“gravy boat-everyday; gravy boat-formal”). Those crystal cruets will really come in handy for your typical home cooked meal (baked potatoes and salad in front of a warm TV). You’re you. Register the person you are now, and don’t try to register for the person you think you should be. Or the person someone else hopes you become.
Erika’s boyfriend’s mother talked dreamily about crystal,silver and “vision.” “Vision meaning, to register for the china you’ll stick like 30 years from now,” says Erika. This bride and her wealthy future mother-in-law were not on the same space-time continuum. “I would be absolutely freaking out listening to her. Whose life was she talking about?” Erika was a harried bride-to-be, working full time and going to school every night. “We had no money , no furniture, laundry all over our apartment, and what – I’m gonna have a silver platter in my closet?” Registering for gifts that will be great sometime in the far distant future , when your priorities changed, seemed ridiculous to Erika. “It got to the point where I was asking her, ‘Can I just register for tuition?’ She didn’t think that was funny.”
Clarice planned to do very limited registering. Her mother-in-law came back with this one:”… but people want to buy you silver place settings. That’s the only present my relatives ever give. You have to register for silver.” Was that a threat? Clarice feared it was: either silver or nothing. So she and Mitch did as they told. “We went and registered for a pattern we didn’t hate,the plainest thing we could find,” say Clarice. And really they were hoping hard for the stainless -steel flatware, which was expensive compared with the random utensils they had stolen from their respective college dining halls years earlier. “No one bought us either.”

“Don’t let your parents pick the band!” urges Luke. He and Victoria wanted a real rock ‘n’ roll band at their wedding. Victoria’s mother insisted (in countless answering – machine messages) that this would alienate the older guests and make them miserable. It it was up to her (it wasn’t), she’d hire a painfully standard wedding band so, as she said over and over , “everybody would be happy.” Except, of course, Luke and Victoria.
“Victoria’s mother thought it was going to be a disaster and kept trying to get us delete instrument: ‘Do they need two guitars? Do they need a saxophone? She thought it would be too loud and too much.” But as long as you have another space where people can go for quiet, Luke argues, you should get a band that rocks, if that’s what you want. The band Luke and Victoria hired was such a hit with the guests(many of whom can recall a time when a nickle could buy a roast beef sandwich, a side of potato salad and a Coca-Cola).
Generation gap is not that big problem on a wedding. We just have to know the likes and dislikes of each other. For example the old ones are not used to a hard music, but we can make it better by reviving the music to have a better rendition. We can’t say that we don’t like it unless we have tried to listen first.There are different genre in this world, why not try it to fit the occasion. The music should jive to the couple and all the guests that will be coming, because this is a special day. Just think of your guests if they will be comfortable to it and enjoy every minute of the wedding.

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.

The reason outdoor weddings are so cool is the same reason they can be a disaster. There’s an element of danger to the weather. It’s exciting, And when you wake up on your wedding day and the sun is shining brightly, you really do like the gods are smiling down upon your union. But once you’ve attended a rainy or unseasonably cold outdoor affair, you start to think it’s not worth the risk.
Kelly says to check the Farmer’s Almanac before scheduling an outdoor wedding. It was accurate once, and that was enough for her. (Maybe you should look into your crystal ball or flip a coin. Or hang rosary beads on the door. I hear that works too.) And even though hers worked out well, she doesn’t recommend an outdoor wedding. “It’s just too much to worry about”. The very real possibility of bad weather means being prepared for wet or muddy ground (do you want to put down a floor?). And a tent, much as its name conjures an image of something you can roll up and carry on your back, is not cheap.
An outdoor wedding can be a breathtaking. However, it involves a bit of work. But this is only once in a lifetime, so why not give your best shot on it. Most awaiting day of your life, it can’t be a disaster. Having an outdoor wedding is so much fun, but be sure to always be ready for all the things will happen. Here are some tips that hopefully will help if you decide to have an outdoor wedding. Have a back up plan, we can’t tell what will happen on your day. For example, in case any bad weather comes, have an extra place for indoor where you can still continue the occasion. Make your guest comfortable, think of the weather to be likely on your day. Whether it is sunny or cold, be prepared always. Scout many possible locations and the date, do not be hurry in choosing, enjoy every single day when looking. Hope this works. Best wishes!!!
