Everything for Weddings

These days many people want to plan non-traditional weddings. After all, it’s the bride and groom’s day to shine and they should celebrate in any way they want to. Many couples are doing away with churches, white wedding dresses and ministers. Instead of these traditional wedding plans, they are choosing to get married in some beautiful tropical locale surrounded by only close friends and family members.But no matter how modern a wedding is many couples follow one sexy age-old tradition. Most men look forward to removing a garter belt from their wife’s leg after their wedding ceremony. Wedding garters allow men to envision the romantic wedding night ahead of them. Women can also choose a wedding garter that expresses their own fashion sense.

Choosing a wedding cake can be tough. But there are a few rules you can follow to make sure you choose the cake best for your wedding. First of all, think about the purpose of your cake. How many people will you be serving? And, are you serving anything else other than dessert? Knowing the answers to these questions will help you make a better wedding cake decision.Also, don’t overlook your wedding cake serving set. You’ll want it to match your other décor or you will risk looking tacky. Make sure to cut the cake into smaller pieces when you’re serving more people.

I have worn some really ugly bridesmaid dresses, but the last wedding I was in was the worst. Belinda was getting married, and I was her maid of honor. We had been best friends since we were in nappies, and I would do anything for her. That includes wearing the most hideous dress I had ever laid eyes on.The thing was horrible. First off the colors included cotton-candy pink, baby blue and lemon yellow. Some could have mistaken me for an Easter egg! The layered-chiffon monstrosity was ruffled around the neck and on the trim, and had a gigantic bow at the waist. Even worse all the bridesmaids had to wear white stockings with the dress. Not only did I look like an Easter egg, but I looked like a fat Easter egg.

The only thing that got me through the entire production was the thought of the expensive bridesmaid gifts I knew Belinda would give us. I participated in the wedding because I loved my best bud, but I’ll tell you what—the diamond necklace she gave me didn’t hurt.

More and more often couples are tiring of traditional wedding themes, and looking for unique alternatives. An Irish or Celtic wedding theme, for example, is a way of getting in touch with Irish heritage, while keeping your ceremony different from other ceremonies.Throughout history most Celtic wedding ceremonies were held during one of the four major festivals; Beltane, Lughnassadh, Samhain, or Imbolc. For couples planning winter wedding themes, planning the wedding during Imbolc, which starts on Feb. 1, would be the logical choice.

Many looking forward to a Celtic-themed wedding will choose Celtic-love-knot wedding bands, or an emerald engagement ring to symbolize the Emerald Isle. Those couples also may choose to don traditional Irish dress for the ceremony. Brides who decide to wear a traditional Celtic wedding dress may also wear a colorful Kinsale cloak. Grooms may wear traditional Celtic garb to match the bride, or a green cumberbund and tie.
