<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Lighting
can make or break your event experience. If the lights are too bright your
event may seem stark and cold. If your lights are too dark guests may miss
important elements of your event and design. Well placed lights can create
ambience at your event. Great lighting will allow you to get more impact from
other items such as floral arrangements and other decor. You can also use
lighting to direct your guests attention to events going on within your event,
or to grab their attention.</span></div>

event. This is most important for the more basic venue such as an empty
ballroom, gallery, or conference center which can tend to be bland if you do
not add in lighting and color. As most of these venues don’t offer much in character,
you’ll need to build ambience with more lighting and decor. </span><br />

ceilings, floors, and walls; they are a great way to add visual interest. While
gobos are great for transforming your event by giving it a dynamic atmosphere
and feel, they can be used to promote your brand. </span></div>

attention. Lighting shows are often used at corporate events before an awards
ceremony or speeches to quite the crowd and build excitement for the main
event. We also use them to create an amazing dance vibe at galas and high
energy concerts. Light shows make a very memorable experience and keep the
energy high at events!</span></div>

certain parts of your event. Using a spotlight creates a dramatic effect that
can transform centerpieces, decor elements and table settings into incredible
pieces of art. Not only do pin lights add drama to your event lighting, but
they also provide separation that is often needed between dark table linens and
centerpieces allowing the centerpieces to pop and stand out. Pin lighting will
make your event design a more dynamic visual experience<span style="letter-spacing: -.4pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />

are the <b>5 Creative Valentine Dates</b>, pick one and make it your own.<br />
<br />
1. Write a song or poem expressing your love, one that you can sing or recite to your favorite
melody. <br />
<br />
2. Recruit a friend or relative to dress up and serve you a meal and dessert
specially prepared beforehand. (Someone who will serve in silence and then
leave.) Don't forget the candles, music and flowers.<br />
<br />
3. Give your love a dance sheet, with your name filled in for every dance. Then
take your valentine to dinner at a restaurant with a band or DJ playing that
night. Or make a CD of love songs and spend the evening dancing in your living
room.<br />
<br />
4. A Great Pick Up - You can make it
creative by your choice of transportation. And you don't need a limousine to
impress your date. Try picking your sweetheart up on horseback, with a moped or
having a motorcycle with a sidecar. </span><br />

Take a shower or bath together, have warm towels in the dryer, a fire in the
fireplace, and a perfect nest in front of the fireplace. Prepare in advance
sliced apples, bananas, cantalope, peaches, and kiwi fruit. Have a CD of love
songs playing in the background. Blindfold your partner, let your valentine's
senses examine the tastes and textures. This will be a very memorable, romantic
evening I can promise you.</span><br />

And a special treat for all you youngsters at heart.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

During my many years of travel, I was presented opportunities to visit
sights off the beaten path. Did you know that just south of Mexico City,
between the urban sprawl and the farming region known as Xochimilco lie an
ancient lake and canals. A semi-popular tourist attraction, the only way to
travel through the canals is by trajinera, like the gondolas of Venice. There
is much to be seen on a trip through the canals: swamps, islands covered with
exotic plants and trees, and wildlife. There is one place on the canals,
however, that is not on the regular route of the trajinera. You can hire one to
take you there for about $100. <br />
There is a small, isolated island in the vast, complicated maze of the
canals. As your boat approaches the island, across the deathly still water, you
cannot help but feel a sense of dread. Twisted, old trees with gnarled branches
line the shore, but there is something very sinister about them. As you move
closer, you notice that there are faces…hundreds of faces among the branches, staring
back at you with dead eyes. Closer, and you see that they are children’s faces,
infants with missing limbs, blistered faces, covered in cobwebs, nailed or
lashed to the trees with rusted wire. Welcome to La Isla de Las Munecas: The
Island of the Dolls.<br />
<br />

Some of the dolls have decomposed over time. Damage from the sun has left
many covered in blotches and blisters. The wind and rain have eroded any
painted surfaces, and left their hair in ragged tufts. Many are missing limbs,
or have been given limbs that are not their own. Some are headless. Some are
only heads. Some have become the home to spiders and insects that inhabit the
island. They are nailed to trees, wired to branches, hung from clothes lines,
and jammed into knotholes and between branches. Some of them have smiles,
melted by the tropical heat, into grimaces. Some have lost their eyes, or, even
more disturbing, have eyes that flutter open in the breeze.<br />

Some days there are visitors to the island, an average of about 20 per day.
Some days there are none. All are greeted by one of the relatives of Don
Julian, who act as caretakers of the island. There are some, however, who are
convinced that the dolls themselves come to life at night to take care of their
island home, since Don Julian passed away in 2001. Some even believe that Don
Julian has joined the little drowned girl as a permanent resident of the
island. Whatever they say, and whatever you believe, it’s hard not to agree
with those who claim that La Isla de Las Munecas, The Island of the Dolls, is
the Creepiest Place on the Planet.<br />

This is it. The spookiest time of year has arrived. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many communities have Halloween activities
planned. The hours for trick or treating for your community are usually posted
on the town’s website, and if you haven’t looked yet, do it now! There are
events scheduled for schools, local malls, parks and recreation centers.
Usually, the hours for these events are early evening, to keep from interfering
with school schedules. It’s time to make your plan for a safe and happy
Halloween.<br />
<br />
Here are some tips for the youngsters:<br />
<br />
1. Choose age appropriate events for your trick or treaters. Make sure you
know the times and locations ahead of time, to avoid disappointment, or a last
minute rush that could compromise safety.<br />
<br />
2. Plan your trick or treat route <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ahead
of time. This will give you a clear idea of where your children will be at all
times, and an idea of when they will be finished.<br />
<br />
3. Feed your trick or treaters a good supper before trick or treating
starts. This will make them less likely to snack as they go, before you have a
chance to inspect their treats.<br />
<br />
4. Stick to places you know. All year we encourage our children to be
cautious of people and places they don’t know, yet, on Halloween, we send them
to the doors of strangers. Stick to areas where they will be visiting family
and friends, both for their safety, and for your own peace of mind.<br />
<br />
5. Only visit homes that have a porch light on and never go inside the home
of someone you don’t know.<br />
6. Wear something reflective and carry a flashlight.<br />
<br />
7. Cross streets only at crosswalks. Never walk between parked cars. Stay on
the sidewalk.<br />
<br />
8. Stay in a group, and never run off alone, or fall behind on your own.<br />
<br />
9. Turn in all candy at the end of the night for parental inspection.<br />

Now, where do you start? Definitely get help from your parents and a professional. If you’re looking to do something intimate and small, a couple options are a backyard barbecue, a bowling party, a card party (or game night), or just have your friends and family come to your house and hang out. On the other hand, more and more are looking to go Over the Top and have an affair to remember.. this is more our style! After you’ve decided on a type of party, you can pick your invitations and start sending them out. Be the first to get them out so everyone knows when your party will be and you can minimize party overlaps. You don’t want to have a graduation party the same day as your best friend’s graduation party, do you?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXV5MscSjBU3vo42RJ4kDHrUCm9BaN63ijAdTw8dPdQbxG_Lsb17_XwayHae87oy7tqRm478tS5fCyNJi3FTWbmbLWdY4nx_EDP6bX4tZZSfsx_fayjLTdNoyuy9NUh34ItMI3pQiQW5g/s1600/images10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXV5MscSjBU3vo42RJ4kDHrUCm9BaN63ijAdTw8dPdQbxG_Lsb17_XwayHae87oy7tqRm478tS5fCyNJi3FTWbmbLWdY4nx_EDP6bX4tZZSfsx_fayjLTdNoyuy9NUh34ItMI3pQiQW5g/s1600/images10.jpg" /></a></div><br />

1. Shower ideas<br />
2. Products and gifts<br />
3. Food and beverage<br />

</div>Budgeting for a baby shower is one of the first considerations many hosts have to think about. It is also one of the most difficult to arrange. Your budget determines the whole event. From the number of guests you are planning to have to the location for the party. By setting a budget, you will not find yourself bankrupt and still have a successful party.<br />
<br />
Who hosts the shower?<br />
NOT the mom to be! That would be tacky<br />
<br />
Co-hosting, or having several baby shower hosts, completely from outside the family, instead of just one, is becoming a popular option. Each host contributes a mutually-agreed upon amount to the shower fund and the expenditures are deducted from that joint funding.<br />
<br />
Gifts should be opened at the baby shower during the party so guests can see the mother appreciate the gift and other attendees can see what was given. <br />
<br />

Baby registries are very useful ways for friends of the expectant parents to know what baby items are needed and themes that are desired. While it may have been considered bad etiquette to include gift registry information in the baby shower invitation in past decades, it is now usually considered helpful to do so.<br />
<br />
Regardless of the times, thank you notes never go out of style. After the baby shower a mother-to-be should send thank you notes to her guests within about a month. <br />
<br />
And then we have the most important part.. the CAKE!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">With 2012 off to a great start, we have several brides who are wanting to make their wedding more of an event rather then the “traditional”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>sit down reception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Entertainers, musicians, even celebrity starts are now appearing at weddings and events, so why not take it one step further make your guests part of the fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know not all will event entertain the idea of having animation, let alone games at their wedding, but by popular demand, here are some popular games that are played on or with the bridal couple.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Lifesaver</span></strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <br />
Blindfold the groom (you don't want to mess up the bride's makeup). Put 4 different colored (flavored) life savers in the Bride's mouth. Have the Groom fish each color out in a specific order (get the audience to choose). For each one he gets wrong, he has to do a drink (if he has been drinking too much may I suggest a full glass of water for each error) <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua";">Pop the Balloon</span></strong> <br />
Get the wedding party out and place a balloon between each woman and man (use your imagination of where to put the balloon). They have to hug tightly enough to break the balloon. The last one to do it is punished. (Do not fully inflate the Newlyweds balloon - it makes it harder or impossible to pop). Punishments can be anything from kissing, to singing , to carrying the bride around the room, etc... <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua";">Instantly-Wed Game</span></strong> <br />
Same as the Newly Wed Game - When the Bride leaves the room to change (or powder her nose) ask the groom some questions about them to see if the Bride answers the same when she returns. For each wrong answer you can offer a punishment. Sample Questions would be: What was the other person wearing when they met? Does the other person like their toilet paper to roll off the top of the roll or the bottom? Who is smarter, the bride or the groom and why? <br />
You can also use do the above game with the bride and groom taking off their shoes and exchanging one of theirs for their spouses. Make the questions so that they have to answer with either a him or her. For example, "who will be the one who takes out the garbage?" The newlyweds would then hold up the shoe that corresponds with who they think is going to do it. Of course the couple have to be back to back so they cannot see how the other responds! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua";">Guess Who</span></strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Have the bride and groom sit on chairs face back to one another, and ask a series of questions as to who is more likely to?

Blind fold the participant and have him or her feel a certain body part of some volunteers and then their spouse (remember your doing a family show here!). Then he or she has to guess which one was their partners. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> </span>Over the Top Events Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588411045661249831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170544464358579369.post-41704519754720117852011-12-14T10:45:00.000-08:002011-12-14T10:45:25.268-08:00A Little Green Activity<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I decided to write yet another blog on green events not because I'm an environment conscious junkie, but rather because more and more clients are becoming educated on the simple ways to recycle without compromising their style and wallet.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We're all about creating one of a kind events and invitations, but if we can reusing things intelligently, ultimately wasting less, so where's the harm?<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt;">We hold the idea that being environmentally friendly doesn’t mean refusing the things we love and want, but rather designing, developing and using products in more informed, eco-friendly ways.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt;">While in the planning stages of your event, big or small, special or corporate, consider the following ideas to show your guests your passion for the environment:<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="margin-left: 1in; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">-</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt;">Have all of the elements of your event in one location so as to minimize the amount of driving for guests<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt;">-consider (for weddings) rather then a registry with items you may not necessarily need, give your guests teh options to donate to your favorite organization in your name.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="article" style="margin: 1em 0in;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt;">Your event invitation can set the tone for your environmentally friendly wedding. Today there are many options for 100% recycled, partially recycled or completely tree free papers which <a href="http://www.thetopevent.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Over the Top Events</span></a> can provide. Consider all the following where you can use recycled paper:<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

Choosing a florist where organically grown, in-season, local flowers are used can be a much better earth friendly choice. <o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt;">One thing that I try and have my clients participate in, is to donate the flowers to a local hospital or senior citizen center or send them home with your guests. </span><br />

Table decor can take the form of small perenials or baby bushes that can later by planted by your guests. If you are looking for a vessel for the center of your table to hold sea shells or colorful rocks, consider vases made from recycled glass or a bamboo bowl, due to renewable tendencies.<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://www.greenworldproject.net/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #333333;">The Green World Project</span></b></a><em><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></em><o:p></o:p></span><br />

When planning a beach wedding, people may think there are numerous things to consider, sometimes more so than a traditional wedding. It can get overwhelming and tricky to come up with destination beach wedding ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People usually give their attention and priority to the following things:<br />
<div class="wp-caption-text" style="margin: 1em 0in;">Beach Wedding Idea</div><strong>1. Beach wedding invitation – </strong>A great way to get your guests in the mood for travel is to add a beach theme to your invitations.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWU_J_LY09j0MOSYEUG3x3ejozy49RBpS0RiUKxbSh5ZaA1hXtWOQcc2yRDoZGEjfSTn1CRrlDzmDt-skCoAruhYbPTbV1C0ylwX5W9f8SJbHgb5yPT4C5osoUxdiznhSKlDoRool4Kg/s1600/beach+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWU_J_LY09j0MOSYEUG3x3ejozy49RBpS0RiUKxbSh5ZaA1hXtWOQcc2yRDoZGEjfSTn1CRrlDzmDt-skCoAruhYbPTbV1C0ylwX5W9f8SJbHgb5yPT4C5osoUxdiznhSKlDoRool4Kg/s200/beach+8.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

<strong>2. Beach wedding dress – </strong>The fabric, length and style make finding the perfect dress for a beach wedding confusing. More casual dresses with lighter fabrics, which are easier to pack become the best option for beach brides.<br />

<div class="wp-caption-text" style="margin: 1em 0in;">Beach Theme Wedding Ideas</div>They are of course the more important issues to address, but there are many others that will sneak in. In addition to your dress you will have to consider what type of beach wedding shoes you will wear. You also need to think about how you will style your hair. Beach wedding hairstyles can be loose and free or tide up as to keep the elements from taking control of it.<br />
<br />
The type of music you will play is something else to keep in mind for your reception. You should decide whether you will hire a local band or you will play beach wedding music. Design of your cake also needs your attention. There are many wonderful cake designers who can incorporate beach themes into their designs.<br />

If some days ago we took into account only a part of the bridal accessories, today we’re going to mention about bridal accessories in general!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG-wI1Vqg3R2LKFBp8ROkvKflczYxrTUKsO1wYjeoZZ24cchpH12fOZ4z_uuG3zATRDWLRElh3_P94HCHKpQO44-97IYOGZwjD5UI31laBIRRnIQvLJUdKlt51oP_BAmxIzFiWGvL7gWM/s1600/the-bridal-hair-accessories.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG-wI1Vqg3R2LKFBp8ROkvKflczYxrTUKsO1wYjeoZZ24cchpH12fOZ4z_uuG3zATRDWLRElh3_P94HCHKpQO44-97IYOGZwjD5UI31laBIRRnIQvLJUdKlt51oP_BAmxIzFiWGvL7gWM/s320/the-bridal-hair-accessories.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br />
First of all in this section of “bridal accessories” there’s always the veil, which can have diverse shapes and formats…. There are the modern ones, made shorter and with ruffled details on. It’s also the long bridal veil that can cover your face and made with really interesting embroidery on its surface….<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhhmi3fN7NCtSTJTbJFLAq91BRrcm3J4g9HGhQZXeZc2FiPCTSvcJpjPJ5RNKkZEuw6UfEwAR-COnE17_MUgEFujFrdOY5apDPOuneoQxIe2AdpJB0zmKEdfjT9ZCDhLVn-XMQ9efTaRM/s1600/must-have-bridal-accessories.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhhmi3fN7NCtSTJTbJFLAq91BRrcm3J4g9HGhQZXeZc2FiPCTSvcJpjPJ5RNKkZEuw6UfEwAR-COnE17_MUgEFujFrdOY5apDPOuneoQxIe2AdpJB0zmKEdfjT9ZCDhLVn-XMQ9efTaRM/s320/must-have-bridal-accessories.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><br />
There’s a big range of accessories and you can be sure that you’re not going to look bad at all with them on! Another thing is that you’re able to renounce to it, the bridal veil isn’t a necessary accessory, but the bridal shoes are….<br />
<br />
The bridal shoes can be found in several models and tones. With such a pair on you’re able to look really fine and in the same time let’s add that they can be comfortable or with a really high heel. It depends on your wish. You’re the bride, you make the rules!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9-5ahCdTUQY4x-PIZfkpvl1FRk335yekFytcebay5XYTnqKduvI2BaM_B1sXyUxr6M6RLdp7RUZQF0d6aMYgxdt837lIanUMOPZl_dc4YewY52gOf-SJjVyl85DTxv6DUep1dJmRSSbA/s1600/must-have-bridal-accessories-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9-5ahCdTUQY4x-PIZfkpvl1FRk335yekFytcebay5XYTnqKduvI2BaM_B1sXyUxr6M6RLdp7RUZQF0d6aMYgxdt837lIanUMOPZl_dc4YewY52gOf-SJjVyl85DTxv6DUep1dJmRSSbA/s320/must-have-bridal-accessories-2.jpg" width="237" /></a></div><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> As for the bridal shoes, make sure that the pair for which you apply for is really comfortable or that you switch them with another pair, in case you find them relatively uncomfortable!<o:p> </o:p><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Besides the classical white tone for the wedding shoes, there’s also the option in which you can apply for a pair of metallic bridal shoes as well as ones colored in a really bright tone!</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">We’ve got this aspect figured out; let’s continue with the bridal jewelry. When it comes to this part, the situation stays in this way: you can apply for bridal jewelry sets, or for separate jewelry. The bridal jewelry sets may contain: a tiara, a necklace and a pair of earrings, all blending perfectly together. There’s also the option for bridal jewelry sets in which you can find a pair of earrings, a necklace, a bracelet or even without a bracelet.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5QlnqoWdCPvY9HkysSbEQcBHbDYUL8uvnSmdbj5qknWPzoEQPdIwtIu51cs8BiiTmhkPuJcXF1PtzJw-Y2vd7lxyuKtomo-OajtUqbzm868HXZyI09oQQOvcPTi2vcAjilWUnIzg8qs/s1600/must-have-bridal-accessories-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5QlnqoWdCPvY9HkysSbEQcBHbDYUL8uvnSmdbj5qknWPzoEQPdIwtIu51cs8BiiTmhkPuJcXF1PtzJw-Y2vd7lxyuKtomo-OajtUqbzm868HXZyI09oQQOvcPTi2vcAjilWUnIzg8qs/s320/must-have-bridal-accessories-3.jpg" width="243" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Similar to the bridal tiara is the bridal headband for which you can apply for and if you want to, you can attach a thin and gorgeous looking veil or you can leave it in this way. There’s also the bridal comb that was recently mentioned, as well as the bridal cockade. All these bridal accessories are great to take into account.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: left;">And last but not least, is another bridal accessory that we consider it would be a really nice idea to take into account – the bridal purse, which isn’t obligatory as well! You decide whether you want one or not!</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

First off, congratulations! Second: these are the 10 things you should do next…<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Share the good news with family and friends<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">This is a happy time and the great news must be shared with loved ones, preferably in a creative and fun way! Create a digital postcard with a photograph of the engagement ring or of the bride and groom and email it to all your family and friends announcing your engagement! Share the good news on Facebook, Twitter or other social media and keep your account up to date with all the next steps. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Plan an engagement party<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Whether it’s a lunch, dinner or an all out engagement party, plan something special to announce and celebrate your engagement with close family and friends. Don’t forget to let them know that a fabulous wedding awaits them…<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Choose the wedding date<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In order to choose the perfect wedding date decide if you want a Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter wedding. Is there a special date on which you would love to have your wedding? Don’t forget to check the calendar so that you know exactly what day of the week you’re talking about when you decide to choose the wedding date. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. Determine a budget <o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">How much can you afford to spend on your wedding? What is your dream wedding? Can your budget cover it? What can stay and what must go?<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">5. Put together the guest list <o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Many decisions go into putting together the guest list: how many guests does your budget permit? Who do you invite? Who don’t you invite? Do you invite colleagues from work or just close family and friends? Do you want an intimate wedding or a traditional wedding with hundreds of guests?<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">6. Choose the place where the ceremony is going to be held<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The place where the wedding ceremony is going to be held should be in agreement with the guest list, as well as the venue for the reception. If you expect 200 guests, then maybe getting married in a small chapel is not the best idea. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">7. Choose the venue for the reception <o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Many popular venues, like hotels and other wedding appropriate spaces, require reservations a year or more in advanced, especially during wedding season. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">8. Book an engagement shoot <o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">It’s the perfect time to book an engagement shoot and document your love in a beautiful engagement album that will be a wonderful memory of this precious time in your lives. Since you have to hire a photographer for the wedding, look for one that also does engagement shoots – this is also a great way to get to know the photographer before the wedding and vice-versa. Make sure you get some very romantic shots and have fun doing it!<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">9. Decide if you’re going to hire a wedding planner<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Idealizing, organizing and coordinating a wedding can be a full time job and stressful at times. So, if DIY is not a concept that applies to you, hire a wedding planner who will navigate all the pre-wedding organization like a pro. The result? Less hassles and unnecessary worrying for the bride and groom. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;">10. Choose the wedding dress <o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The wedding dress is one of the star pieces of the big day and requires a lot of idealizing and research, preferably in advanced, so you have time to check out all your options before making a decision. You don’t have to buy the dress immediately after the wedding proposal, but it is a good idea to start window shopping, magazine and online browsing… so the dream can start to become reality…<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

There are many things that you may consider indispensable for your wedding, and others that just may not be that important to you. Value those aspects that will make your wedding memorable and forget about those that you consider dispensable. The trick is to adjust the available budget to your priorities. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Walking into the reception hall, hand in hand, to the sound of a great song and the applause of the guests is pretty common in most weddings. And while there is nothing wrong with this type of entrance, why not make it extra special? Here are 6 great ideas. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1. Dim the lights <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If possible, meaning if the venue is properly equipped, make a <st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place> entrance under one beaming spotlight. Before the newlyweds enter the reception area, have someone dim the lights and, as the bride and groom walk, have a spotlight that gets brighter and brighter shining only on them. Don’t forget to choose a wonderful song for the occasion and have the spotlight follow you until you reach your seats, where you can seal that glamorous <st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place> entrance with a kiss. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2. Introduce your parents<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></h2><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Following your entrance into the reception hall and once at your seats, take a moment to introduce your parents to all the guests, thank them for all their help and support and, of course, make sure you let them know how much you love them. Besides being a great way to show your appreciation, you’ll definitely hit a chord with the guests and, as you know, the more emotional the wedding, the more special it becomes.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">3. Use a theme<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></h2><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Together with a group of friends, plan a surprise for all the guests who are going to see you walk through the reception door. Be inspired by a specific theme and get all dressed up for a 1970s disco night or recreate the scene from a musical, for example. This requires rehearsing everything prior to the wedding, so that on the big day everything runs smoothly once you burst through the wedding reception door singing and dancing in all your glory. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">4. Let the bridesmaids and groomsmen shine <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></h2><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you decide to have bridesmaids and groomsmen at your wedding, than use them for a fun and creative entrance. Let them lead the way for the newlyweds with a short choreography danced to the sound of a great song; the bride and groom can enter and finish the dance. Great fun and totally unforgettable! Don’t forget to thank the bridesmaids and groomsmen for their moves and participation! <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">5. Ask the DJ or a friend to read a short introduction<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></h2><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Create a romantic entrance, with a touch of suspense. Prepare a short biography of your own personal love story (no more than 3 minutes) and before you enter the reception, dim the lights and have someone read it (preferably without being seen), accompanied by some background music. At the end, the newlyweds make their grand entrance to the sound of happy applause.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">6. Paparazzi effect<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></h2><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 24pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #564b47; font-family: Century; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Before you make your grand entrance, ask the DJ to instruct the guests to pick up the disposable cameras (preferably with flash) previously set up on all tables and to photograph your entrance just as if you were a celebrity couple in the eyes of the paparazzi. As soon as you walk into the reception area, you’ll have a ton of flashes illuminating your entrance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

Depending on the couple, where they live and their culture, giving cash is either considered apropos or gauche. And then there's always the quandary over the registry, especially when the only two options left are a $200 waffle maker and a $5 garlic press. After all, there's a fine line between breaking the bank to buy a generous gift and looking like a cheapskate.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Second Marriage</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;">When it comes to second weddings, friends and relatives are not required to buy you a gift if they bought you one the first time, however most likely they will want to do so. It is acceptable to register for a second wedding.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;">If you so choose, here a</span><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;">re some polite ways to say <a href="http://www.wednet.com/wedding-gifts/wedding-articles/More-Suggestions-For-No-Gifts.Aspx"><span style="color: #446688;">no gifts please.</span></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;">If you send a wedding announcement, rather than a wedding invitation, for a small wedding and not inviting many out-of-town friends and relatives, it is clearly implied that gifts are not necessary.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Gifts for your Guests</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;">It’s common for brides and grooms to show their appreciation for their guests’ participation in your wedding ceremony by giving favors. Favors can consist of anything from a miniature box of chocolates to handmade keepsakes bearing the couple's name and wedding date.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Attendants’ Gifts</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;">The bride and groom traditionally select special gifts to present to members of the wedding party in thanks for their special role in the event. Any amount you choose to spend is acceptable. You may consider gifts of higher value for your maid of honor and best man.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>How Much is too Much? Or too Little?</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt;">There are no specific price guidelines for gifts. Gifts are based on what the guest believes the receiver would like, what they want to give and the amount the gift-giver can afford. There is no average amount that a guest needs to spend on a wedding or shower gift. Really, as the saying goes, it’s the thought that counts.</span><br />

The dress is probably the most important item that reflects the femininity and the beauty of a bride. Even though you may have the dress of your dreams, in order to complete the outfit you need to pick out the right accessories, like the veil, shoes, jewelry or gloves. Accessories add elegance whether you are choosing a classic style, a more romantic, bohemian one, or a glamorous and sophisticated one.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The big day is here. Besides the wedding gown you have carefully chosen, the accessories must also match. Shoes, jewelry or handbag, everything should be in perfect harmony. <br itxtnodeid="150" /><br itxtnodeid="149" /><b itxtbad="1" itxtnodeid="148">Lingerie</b><br itxtnodeid="147" />Before choosing your lingerie, you should take into consideration a few important things. First of all, you should pick the items that flatter you the most. Be realistic and analyze your best features, and especially your flaws. Choose items that hide flaws and emphasize your qualities. Also, make sure you try on the items before buying them. And no go for a model just because it looks good in the picture, and think if it matches to your personality and style. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
Therefore, if you are more the innocent type, choose simple, white or warm colored items. On the other hand, if you are into the provocative and sexy style, go for strong colors such as red. If you like to play, you can mix different styles and colors. As for the fabric, silk, lace and satin are the best options. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxC-oQsolwHiGE94RKg3CM3dQ2shaXRCBkj9U0pSPsnc6NMyGWaxpPnrDb86Vz6aZCkrwHq2V5yViG_ttIVIRjHVzzSwFaOWHCcrDeFgp6-r5K_K-v_ioXNILn0m_phsR8oau-vBH8YTE/s1600/0f96d92de8ecf47ffa283cfcf4d9cb7a_w2a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="135" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxC-oQsolwHiGE94RKg3CM3dQ2shaXRCBkj9U0pSPsnc6NMyGWaxpPnrDb86Vz6aZCkrwHq2V5yViG_ttIVIRjHVzzSwFaOWHCcrDeFgp6-r5K_K-v_ioXNILn0m_phsR8oau-vBH8YTE/s320/0f96d92de8ecf47ffa283cfcf4d9cb7a_w2a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<b>Shoes</b><br itxtnodeid="182" />Choosing the right pair of shoes for your marriage is not an easy thing to do as it means time, good taste, and other key elements such as the wedding gown, or the place of the wedding. And, we shouldn't forget that the most important thing is that you feel comfortable wearing them. <br itxtnodeid="181" /><br itxtnodeid="180" />Your shoes shouldn't necessarily match the dress, but the other accessories instead, like the flowers from the bouquet, or other items. Event though pumps remain the classic type of shoes that work great for every wedding dress style, you can also go for sandals, ballet flats for a retro look, or boots for a winter wedding. As for the color of the shoes, you can choose white and match them with your dress, or you can play with contrasts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcQWsIcqW-wJbpAfQZKiS_a7LhKluVHzBMyCSKo2fG3wn2ewngy5kH_MaN1oC-p-jIvX8OqgrD2NwPRj7M_RNeqxdXOb-sf_ymatP_nvaKcBghdrmapgYVdfqoIb_RYlTje5i-my0sKA/s1600/11+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcQWsIcqW-wJbpAfQZKiS_a7LhKluVHzBMyCSKo2fG3wn2ewngy5kH_MaN1oC-p-jIvX8OqgrD2NwPRj7M_RNeqxdXOb-sf_ymatP_nvaKcBghdrmapgYVdfqoIb_RYlTje5i-my0sKA/s320/11+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> </div></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Hair accessories</span></b><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br itxtnodeid="191" />On your wedding day everything is possible. If in the past a veil was an essential item for a bride, nowadays you can choose a tiara or flowers for your hair depending on other elements such as your dress. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
Everything is allowed as long as you shine. If your dress has a few flowers on it, you can put flowers into your hair too. On the other hand, if your dress is more elegant and sophisticated, or it is too embroidered, a tiara would make you look like a princess. Anyway, if you are going for a tiara, you should make sure it flatters your shape. If you are bolder, you can choose a hat in the same color with your dress, or one in a more edgy and contrasting color. You can also choose a mantilla veil.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

Choose it based on your dress. If your dress is rather classic, your handbag should have a square shape. If your dress is more extravagant go for a round shaped handbag with embellishments. A clutch can also work. For a plus of elegance, gloves are the key element. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="intro" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Just like with a favorite outfit, the right accessories can turn an average wedding into a truly memorable event. From bridal jewelry to the ring pillow, the cake topper to silverware, accessories enhance every aspect of your ceremony. Each accessory can either shine all on its own or effectively highlight the wedding's theme.</span></div><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Look beyond usual accessories to create a memorable bridal ensemble. Satin or lace gloves look striking and enhance the formality of your dress; opera-length gloves tend to look glamorous while wrist-length gloves are subtle and delicate. Shawls, wraps and capes are especially elegant during late fall or winter ceremonies. When used, a bridal cape usually takes the place of the veil, but a lightweight shawl or wrap in complementary colors can be layered beneath a veil.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="emplumetext21"><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Corbel; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">There are so many options to go with we anted to share some of our top picks.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

In addition to your dress you will have to consider what type of beach wedding shoes you will wear. You also need to think about how you will style your hair. Beach wedding hairstyles can be loose and free or tide up as to keep the elements from taking control of it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The type of music you will play is something else to keep in mind for your reception. You should decide whether you will hire a local band or you will play beach wedding music. Design of your cake also needs your attention. There are many wonderful cake designers who can incorporate beach themes into their designs.</span><br />

Figuring out how many people to invite is an art, not a science, but there are some guides to help you out. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Second Marriage</span></b><span style="color: #4e3227; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">When it comes to second weddings, friends and relatives are not required to buy you a gift if they bought you one the first time, however most likely they will want to do so. It is acceptable to register for a second wedding.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4e3227; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you so choose, here are some polite ways to say </span><a href="http://www.wednet.com/wedding-gifts/wedding-articles/More-Suggestions-For-No-Gifts.Aspx"><b><span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">no gifts please.</span></b></a></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Small Weddings</span></b><span style="color: #4e3227; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">If you send a wedding announcement, rather than a wedding invitation, for a small wedding and not inviting many out-of-town friends and relatives, it is clearly implied that gifts are not necessary.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Gifts for your Guests</span></b><span style="color: #4e3227; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">It’s common for brides and grooms to show their appreciation for their guests’ participation in your wedding ceremony by giving favors. Favors can consist of anything from a miniature box of chocolates to handmade keepsakes bearing the couple's name and wedding date.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Attendants’ Gifts</span></b><span style="color: #4e3227; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The bride and groom traditionally select special gifts to present to members of the wedding party in thanks for their special role in the event. Any amount you choose to spend is acceptable. You may consider gifts of higher value for your maid of honor and best man.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">How Much is too Much? Or too Little?</span></b><span style="color: #4e3227; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e3227; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">There are no specific price guidelines for gifts. Gifts are based on what the guest believes the receiver would like, what they want to give and the amount the gift-giver can afford. There is no average amount that a guest needs to spend on a wedding or shower gift. Really, as the saying goes, it’s the thought that counts.</span><br />

Because of this you will find various legends of our most popular customs. Traditions vary from culture to culture. Some are widely used in modern wedding ceremonies, while others exist only within a certain race or culture. The Bridal Bouquet Toss</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Believe it or not, the bridal bouquet toss celebration goes back to fourteenth century <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">France</place></country-region> where it was believed that a bride was especially lucky on her wedding day. Guests would rush towards the bride at the end of the ceremony in hopes of tearing off a piece of her dress to take home for their own good fortune. This often ended in a scuffle dangerous for the bride (and guests). For a brief time, in an effort to fend off the wild attacks, the bride would throw her stockings (or garter) until brides began to rebel against this undignified practice. Brides instead switched to throwing the bouquet and that tradition has remained in place.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Today it is still considered lucky to catch the bridal toss bouquet and the event is usually performed to a unique bouquet toss song. It is said that the lucky recipient will be the next to marry. If you are leery of performing the bouquet toss at your own ceremony, consider some great modern alternatives to that traditional bouquet toss. Make a presentation of the bridal toss bouquet to a dear friend instead of tossing it. Or, a great twist is to look inwards at the fortune you've found by presenting the tossing bouquet and tossing garter to a cherished, wedded couple whom inspired you both to become newlyweds.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
