Wedding Quote for the Day!

"I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance; a church filled with flowers and friends. I asked him what kind of wedding he wished for; he said one that would make me his wife."

A fun Wedding Favor idea!

A Candy Bar

For an extra sweet favor, treat your guests to a slew of different kinds of colorful candies on their way out.

To make your own candy bar, simply choose candies in your theme. Look online for special colored candies. Then place them in large vases and hurricanes of different shapes and sizes.

Remember to go all out with the candy -- you don't want to have a wimpy-looking candy bar!

Planning a Fall Wedding?

Have you considered the fall for your wedding as opposed to a traditional Spring Wedding. My husband and I got married in December....and incorporated many holiday themes into the decor and catering. You could do the same for a fall wedding.

For one thing, a wedding during off-peak times, especially in late fall, can not only save you money, but it can also provide you with exciting venue options, dress choices and colors. Your options for fall wedding ideas are unlimited, and you can be confident that your wedding will stand out.

As far as fall themes and decor, take full advantage of the change of season. Ideas for a natural fall wedding would be to include real fall leaves and flowers in table decorations. Your bouquet can pop with blazing fall colors. And how about potpourri or fall wreaths as party favors?

As you choose a venue, let nature be your guide. Possible locations for a natural fall wedding include a park, an orchard or even a winery. Wherever you choose, make sure the venue has a good view of the turning leaves, and take the date into account. Leaves will change depending on where you live. Usually here in the Seattle area early October is a beautiful time of many colored leaves.

Also prepare for rainy weather if the ceremony will be outside. Before signing a contract with a venue, discuss alternate plans with the potential venue in case of rain, and find out if they can move inside on short notice. You could also make plans with a good decorating compny to provide tents, etc in case of inclement weather. (We do have enough of that around here in the Fall) To play it safe for an outdoor ceremony, arrange to have a sturdy canopy covering the ceremony area. Then invest in large umbrellas for yourself and your guests so they can move from the ceremony area to the reception area without getting wet.
