Although the world of weddings has changed a lot,  there are some etiquette rules that will always remain. Sure, you can have your wedding over barbecue and wear a colored dress – but there are certain rules that shouldn’t be overlooked.

What are some of the most important ones? What are some of the etiquette tips you should definitely remember? Read on and find out more.

  • If a bridesmaid cannot afford her dress, discuss options with her. A lot of things can happen and, sometimes, no matter how much financial planning is involved, there are issues that can appear out of nowhere. See how you can help her save more money (such as by purchasing a cheaper dress) and, if she simply cannot find her way out of the problem, offer to buy her the dress. Remember! Your relationship with her is much more important than anything else!
  • If your groom wants to have two Best Men, it is more than acceptable to do so. After all, he shouldn’t be forced to choose between his brothers and/best friends. If he chooses to have two Best Men, they can simply split the tasks (and they can even deliver a toast together).
  • A wide range of wedding gifts are considered to be more than fine these days. However, asking for money is still considered to be in bad taste. Of course, if guests find it more suitable to offer you money, that will be OK – but specifically asking for this is not appropriate. However, there are ways around this such as having a wishing well wedding. This is perfect for couples that after combining households will already have all the household goods they need.

Vintage weddings are gorgeous and honestly one of my favorite types of weddings! They’re so fun and whimsical. Be sure you know how to create yours.

Vintage weddings are still very popular – and not without reason. Fun, whimsical, and timeless, a vintage-themed wedding can wow the guests and make for some pretty unforgettable memories.
How do you pull it off? We have gathered some tips for you, so read on and find out more.
·         The venue. If you have your heart set on a vintage wedding, you’re in luck because almost any type of venue can accommodate this theme. From old mansions to rustic-chic barns, most venues can be turned into vintage-touched locations.
·         The flowers. Your wedding flowers are quite important, so make sure you pick flowers that will help you create that whimsical vintage vibe. Hydrangeas, baby breaths and wildflowers are especially great – but there are many others that could be gorgeously used as vintage floral arrangements.
·         
The colors. Want to make sure your color palette matches the theme? Beige and, in general, neutral colors can really create a “dusty” but very elegant appeal to the entire wedding. Combine them with soft pastels and with glamorous ornaments (especially if you want to create a Roaring Twenties-inspired Big Day).
·         Music. As you may very well know it, music can also be extremely important when it comes to creating a special atmosphere. Welcome your guests with a live band and songs from the decade(s) that inspired your wedding theme and your tunes will perfectly complement the entire wedding day concept!

Your wedding flowers will highlight your big day, choose them wisely!

01 Jun | No comments

Flowers and weddings will always go hand in hand. In fact, flowers are so deeply rooted in the wedding tradition that even if you choose to have a more modern wedding, you will still at least consider the option of having some florals used for your Big Day’s décor!

How can you be wise about the flowers you pick for your wedding day? We’re glad you asked.  We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

• Be very diligent with your budget (and with sticking to it as well). It can be very tempting to go overboard and order tulips from across the Ocean to get that perfect shade – but before you do that, think twice and analyze your priorities.
• Speaking of priorities, of all the flowers you will have on your wedding day, your bouquet may be one of the most important “arrangements”. Just think of it! This is the gorgeous accessory you will wear as you walk down the aisle – so it is only normal to want it to be truly unique and personal!
• If you want to save more money on your florals, be prepared to choose arrangements that can be easily used both for the ceremony and reception. With a few minor changes and tweaks, your ceremony arrangements can be superbly transformed into awe-inspiring centerpieces for the reception!
• Last, but not least, be open minded about your décor vendors’ suggestions. She/he knows best when it comes to what flowers are in season, what flowers are trendy and what flowers will do best for your budget and for the environment you will bring them in. Listen well and be ready to add a bit of flexibility to your ideas!

Create tasty herb-infused signature cocktails for your wedding!

Serving unique signature cocktails at your wedding is a genuinely wonderful idea that will add a very special touch to the entire big day. But why serve herb-infused cocktails you ask? What are some of the best herb and cocktail combinations to serve your guests? We have gathered some tips for you – read on and find out more to inspire yourself.

• Lemonade and spirits. This is an all-time classic, but there’s a very good reason combining lemonade and spirits has become so popular: the flavor combination works amazingly. For an herb-infused lemonade and spirits cocktail, add some gorgeous scented lavender. This is absolutely perfect especially if you plan on having a wedding with pink or purple shades!• Mango and mint. Want to serve a summer drink that’s delicious from all points of view? A cocktail with a mango base will add that typical summer sweetness and warmth, while mixing mint leaves into the cocktail will make it more refreshing and more suitable for an outdoor wedding in high temperatures.
• Pimm’s cup. Delicious and refreshing, this staple drink would work marvelously with mint leaves and cucumber slices instead of the traditional fruit in it! Try it and your guests will be more than delighted with this cocktail!
• Ice tea mocktail. If you plan on having a non-alcoholic cocktail at your wedding too, ice tea is a really amazing option. Refreshing and sweet, it will be more than suitable for kids and adults who don’t or can’t drink alcohol. Plus, if you choose to serve a mint ice tea or peach it will add a pop of color!

Choose table décor that will make your wedding reception gorgeous!

17 May | No comments

Your wedding reception should be about you: your relationship, your personality and your unique sense of style. And while other parts of the décor are definitely important, it is really essential that you put some extra-care into how you choose your table décor.

How to do it? Here are some tips to help you create a table décor that’s gorgeous:

• If your tables are round, be sure to play with shapes, color, layers and details. For example, adding square shapes to a round table will create contrast and uniqueness, while designing the entire table in one basic color and adding accents of brighter colors will make it look vibrant and elegant at the same time. Furthermore, grouping centerpieces in “batches” of three can also make your round table décor pop with originality.
• If your tables are square, keep in mind that they can look too rigid if you don’t find the right balance. Place an equal number of chairs on each side, but also soften up the décor with cushions and fabrics that are welcoming and elegant. Don’t forget to match the roughness of the square tables with a combination of dark and vibrant colors.
• If your tables are long estate tables, play up the shape by using long plates and tall centerpieces. Also, focus the décor in the middle part of the tables by using a graphic or floral runner – it will add elegance and grace to the entire décor, making it truly beautiful.
