Wedding Planning – Current Trends In Wedding Accessories

ATTIRE

Wedding attire choices for WOMEN have become less traditional and more of personal preference. According to bridal salon owners, the trend for brides married in 2006, and those planning a wedding in 2007, calls for sleek and relatively simple gown or dress style. Favored are both plain yet elegant gowns or dresses and gowns or dresses adorned with crystal, pearls and lace.

The major contributors to pulling away from the fairy tale gown or dress styles, in favor of elegant simplicity as being the preferred choice for brides, can be contributed to:

Today’s working, price conscious brides who want to adhere to a budget, do not want to sacrifice style or beauty, but want a lot of value for their money.

The growing popularity of destination weddings.
Brides appreciate that these elegant yet simple styles can safely be transported and look fresh and clean upon arrival at the wedding destinations.

The trend for MEN has also become more casual, offering a choice of a dark suit, or dark pants with a white dinner jacket instead of a tuxedo.

THEME WEDDINGS allow even more freedom of choice. For example:

Western attire is quite common in western theme weddings.

Victorian attire in Victorian theme weddings.

Reneasance garb in Reneasance theme weddings.

Casual wear and sandal for Beach weddings, and so on.

JEWELRY

Today’s brides preferred to keep their and their bridesmaids jewelry to a minimum, choosing Swarovski crystal, classic pearls clusters and pearl strands necklaces, with matching earrings. Replicas of celebrity tiaras, as well as tiaras studded with crystal and – or pearls are most popular.

THEME WEDDINGS

Currently, more and more couples are planning theme weddings that express their interests and uniqueness.

Many combine their heritage, religion and – or traditions into their wedding theme, or use them as the central point of both ceremony and reception.

Others choose their theme to coincide with their wedding location.

Yet others who plan a family wedding concentrate on having their children represented.

ACCESSORIES FOR THEME WEDDINGS

Whether dictated by the couple’s interests, background or location, the bride and groom like to have their photo album, guest book, unity candles, pen set, flower basket, ring pillow, bridal purse – money bag, garter, cake top, centerpieces and decorations present their theme.

In fact, the trend is to have as many accessories actually match as a set or a collection, rather than just an assortment of complementing items.

WHERE TO BUY WEDDING ACCESSORIES and CHOICES.

There are many options to purchasing wedding needs, from attire to accessories. The most obvious and traditional being bridal salons.

However, with the enormous growth of the Internet and the high security of shopping carts, the trend is to check and comparison-shop online first.

Shopping for weddings on the Internet, can be done from the comfort of one’s home or office, saving gasoline, precious time and money.

The Internet also introduces items available only on-line.
Some items are so unique they can be purchased only on a specific web site.

It is interesting to mention that A-wedding Day has experienced a surge in gift givers buying wedding items, including complete accessory collections, to be shipped with a gift card to a bride.

Choosing Wedding Accessories

When you are planning your wedding, you will most likely be concerned with the bigger details of the ceremony and reception rather than the fine details, such as wedding accessories.  This is fine for the beginning.  But as you get deeper into the wedding planning process, you need to consider other aspects as far as necessities.  After you have planned the venue, the flowers, the photographer and music, you need to also consider the following wedding accessories:  

Gifts for attendants   

It is traditional for the couple to give gifts for those who attended them during the wedding.  Many couples are giving dinner gift certificates as well as spa nights for bridal attendants.  These gifts are usually more well liked than engraved gifts of the past.  Men often still will give a fountain pen to their best man as well as ushers.  Do not forget the children in the wedding party such as the paiges and the flower girls.  Gifts for them should be thoughtful and age appropriate.  

Transportation for bridal party 

If you are having a wedding in the country or far away from home, and the bridal party is staying at a nearby inn or hotel, you need to provide transportation for them to get from the wedding reception to  the inn.  You can hire a car that will pick them up and take them to their accommodations after the wedding.  Speak to the vendor who is providing your wedding transportation about this as this may be included in the deal.  

Thank you notes  

Do not forget to write out thoughtful, thank you notes after the wedding.  You can order your thank you notes at the same place that you order your wedding invitations.  Some engravers or printers will include thank you notes as part of a package deal if you ask them.  Many people address their thank you notes as they receive responses to make this chore easier.  

Wedding cake 

The wedding cake is often forgotten today as it has been reduced to a photo prop in some weddings and often cut before the guests have seen it.  Still, you should make sure that you order the wedding cake as well as the topper for the cake in plenty of time for the wedding.  Many wedding reception venues will provide a wedding cake if you ask.  If not, you can contact bakeries for this special cake.  

Party favors, guest book place cards 

Do not forget that you will want to keep track of the guests who attended your wedding.  Your wedding accessories should include place cards for guests, a guest book for guests to sign and party favors.  Party favors, such as sugared almonds wrapped in tulle are traditional for a wedding. 

What to Know When Choosing Your Reception Hall

While the wedding ceremony is the serious part of the wedding, the reception is the fun part where you can let your hair down. It’s where you can celebrate your marriage with family and friends. Of course, you want to show your guests a good time and have a memorable reception so choosing your reception  hall is one of the most important aspects of planning a wedding.

One of the first things you should keep in mind when starting your search is location. What exactly are you looking for? Many places hold receptions. Some examples are banquet halls, hotels, gardens, golf courses, and restaurants. Holding it in a private home is another option. Check to see if the place your ceremony is being held has a place for a reception. This will help save  on both money and travel. Another thing to keep in mind for location is weather. If looking for an outside place, make sure it has a tent or option to go inside, especially if the place has unpredictable weather.

Another consideration for when choosing your reception hall is how large the party will be. You want to make sure you will have plenty of room for your guests. Hotels are good for large reception parties. They usually have a gallery or banquet room somewhere. If it is a smaller wedding, with not many people, you might even consider having dinner at a nice restaurant afterwards.

When you have narrowed your selections down, find out what each hall offers for their receptions. Some have their own caterer and may even supply the music.   These little bonuses make everything much easier on the soon to be married couple. Some places even offer to help with the decorations. Not having to worry about place settings and flower decorations can take a lot of stress off during the days before your wedding.

The way a place is decorated is a very important thing to consider for your reception hall. The atmosphere and look of a place can have a huge impact on pictures and videos for the wedding. Take into consideration what kind of ceremony you will be having. If you are going for traditional or old fashioned with a timeless dress, you might want to consider something older looking for the reception hall. It will do wonders on your pictures.  On the other hand, if you prefer a contemporary look then you might want to choose a hotel with a reception hall that has a sleek, modern design.

The main thing to remember is that it is your day. You deserve to have the reception party you have always dreamed of.   The reception hall is a big part of that. Do something you will remember for years to come, and pick the place that, in the end, is right for you.

Decorating For Your Wedding – Budget Options

There are many types of wedding decorations that can be used depending on the theme of your wedding. The very basics of wedding decorations include invitations, flowers and balloons. But you can do so much more now with decorations to have a unique and memorable event. You should think outside the box and look for wedding decorations at stores that are not typical for weddings.

The best wedding consultants will go to any store to find the decorations for your wedding. They don’t stick strictly to the traditional wedding supply stores. Therefore, their weddings will end up being one of a kind and unique. This has an added advantage for your wallet because besides finding unique objects you can find decorations at fantastic prices, much better then when you shop at the wedding stores.

Since these more unlikely stores can save you a lot of money, you will have more to put towards other parts of your wedding or, perhaps, spend on your honeymoon. Many times wedding favors, decorations and stores will inflate the price simply because the items are for a very specific occasion. You should be on the look out for clearance sales and seasonal merchandise. If your wedding is in the fall or winter then you should stock up in the after Christmas sales.

You can create lovely centerpieces by having a votive candle in small lanterns. If you are concerned about the fire hazard of real candles, they make battery operated ones today that are just as beautiful and “flickery” as the real thing.  Candlelight is the most flattering light and creates a great atmosphere; so they will add a lot to your reception. You can have one candle per table or group a few together. Using lanterns or votive holders in soft colors and metallic’s create beautiful centerpieces. Setting the candles on a table runner made of metallic fabric is quite striking and the candlelight reflects beautifully.

If you are having an outdoor wedding you can float wax boat lanterns in a pool, pond or fountain. They can also line walkways or on tables. These types of candles are very versatile. Additionally you can fill a large bowl with water and float candles in them for a table centerpiece. Candles can also be used creatively by having holders of a different height. You can incorporate many different types of candles and candleholders for an eye-catching display.

Besides buying all of your wedding decorations you can make many of them yourself. Centerpieces and reception decorations can be made with crafts, using fabric, candles and other decorations. It is even possible to create your own table tents for outdoor weddings. If you have a green thumb, then you can save a bundle by creating your own floral arrangements for the wedding and reception.

Every wedding has a budget and you can really stretch yours buy being a smart shopper and spending the time to make some of your own wedding favors, centerpieces and florals.

Choosing Music For Your Reception – Some Things To Consider

One of the most memorable things on your wedding day will be when you take your first dance as Mr. and Mrs. so choosing the right music is important.   Indeed, music plays a large role at any reception as it can mean the difference between a wedding that is filled with laughing dancing guests or one that has everyone sitting in their seats waiting for the day to end.

First off, there are many individual songs that are very important. Do the bride and groom have a song? If so, that should probably be the first song. Then, there is the bride father/ groom mother song. That should be something sentential that all parties can relate to. Of course, when you cut the cake. something humorous could add an air of fun to the reception. If you go with a live band, a little drumming is perfect. Some more fun songs should be played during the bouquet throw and garter toss.

As for the genre and types of music you need to consider whether you are looking for any one particular sound or do you want a lot of different ones. Some people want to go with the traditional wedding music. All of the old lovey dovey songs and the everybody dance songs such as “The Twist” and “The Chicken Dance”. Others like to stick with a theme like jazz, big band music or even rock and roll.  One thing to consider however, is that your guests will be of all ages and musical tastes so you might want to include a large variety of music in order to please everyone.

Should you go for a DJ or live band?   Many DJ’s will play a pre-made list that you give them. With a DJ, you can be assured that the music will be good as it is, of course, the recordings of the original artists.  One the other hand, a band can be very nice too.  You could get just a regular band that is familiar with songs to play at weddings or even an instrumental band. A string quartet is something good to think about if there will not be much dancing.

When deciding on how your music will be played and who or what by, keep in mind a few things. If going with a band, make sure they can play several songs that can keep everyone entertained.  Also, remember that a live band or DJ can interact with everyone and can announce when it is time for each activity so you want to be sure to give them exact instructions as to what to do.

Music plays a large role on your wedding day. The right song can give you memories you will cherish forever. Go with whatever it is you want. Just remember to have everything planned out before the big day. Wedding reception music can get everyone on their feet to have a good time or just be for mingling but whatever your choice, you can be assured that music will add to the enjoyment of both you and your guests.
