Blue hues

Posted by Doncrack Thursday, December 10, 2009


Totally loving the idea of a room saturated with deep blue hues. And I've always loved the twist on the traditional by celebrating a Blue Christmas ... I'd love to see a holiday wedding with the same color palette in mind ... icy blues mixed with warm whites ...

Low-cost Catering Ideas

Posted by Doncrack Thursday, November 19, 2009

In most cases catering is the largest expense of a wedding. The cost of your wedding reception includes the food, beverages, kitchen staff, waiters, rentals, decorations, and the cost of the site itself.

Receptions don't always have to be held at dinner time. You might find that choosing a different time of day for your reception will result in a significant saving. Below are some suggestions and ideas for alternative receptions.

  • Tea receptions are held between 2-4 pm. You can serve things such as canapés, finger sandwiches, tea, scones, pastries and a variety of cheeses.
  • A hors d'oeuvres reception is takes place between 11am-5pm or after an evening wedding. As the name suggests, you would serve light finger foods such as chips and dips, fruit and vegetable platters, cheeses, and crackers. You can also include meat and cheese trays, shrimp cocktails, oysters, egg rolls, sausages, chicken wings, and tea sandwiches.
  • A cocktail reception might include passed trays of food as well as small stations with finger food. Be sure to have to have plenty of napkins, plates, cutlery and seating on hand to avoid messy dining. Be clear in your invitation that the reception will include cocktails and hors d'oeuvres only. The reception's finale will be the cake-cutting ceremony and coffee service, which can be supplemented by after-dinner drinks and petites fours.
  • Decadent Dessert Receptions are held from 1- 4pm or after an evening wedding. Serve an extensive assortment of rich desserts such as cheese cakes, tarts, tortes, cookies, pies, cakes, pastries, cobblers, biscotti, ice cream, sundaes, and candies. Serve coffee, tea, and other beverages.
  • A Simple Cake and Punch Reception is perfect if your reception is not during a normal mealtime. Mid morning or mid afternoon is ideal. You can also include candies, cookies, and nuts to the menu. Include "Cake and Punch Reception Following Ceremony" on your invitations and this inform guests ahead of time not to expect a full meal.
  • You can cut costs by using paper and plastic goods instead of glassware, china plates, cloth napkins, and silverware.
  • If the event runs over you may have to pay overtime charges. Be sure to find out how long you have the reception site/facilities for.

10 Tips for Wedding Registry

Posted by Doncrack Friday, September 25, 2009

Many couples that decide to get married, don’t have a lot of money. This is especially so in young couples. A wedding registry is the perfect answer to getting started on your own. Setting one up is pretty simple, and will help you avoid receiving duplicates of some stuff and getting things that you don’t really need. You basically have to pick a couple of stores, create the wedding registry either on the internet or on paper, select different items that you would like, and tell the guests who are attending your wedding.

If you still need some help with your wedding registry, follow these ten easy steps:

1. First off, you should find between two to four merchants, such as Macy’s or Bed Bath and Beyond. This allows your guests to have some options.

2. Pick merchants online as well as in person. For some, registering online is confusing to those guests who have never gone online and shopped.

3. Make sure you look at the fine print and check for and fees that may not have been out in the open. You don’t want your guests to be charged a ridiculous amount when they are trying to buy a gift for you.

4. Look at general merchants who might offer a wedding registry.

5. Go big and go small. Some guests may be willing to buy you that 50 inch wide-screen, but others may not have it in their budget to purchase something expensive. So go ahead and register for different priced items.

6. Ask about discounts on gifts that weren’t purchased. There are a few merchants who will give at least a 10 percent discount on these items. It is also smart to add more things to your wedding registry if you do find out that you can get a discount.

7. Research! Know what household items you absolutely need and find out what will last for years to come. Doing so will save you time and money later on.

8. Do not put your address out for everyone to see. Give it to the wedding registry but make it unavailable to everyone else. You don’t want strangers popping up at your door.

9. Ask someone you know personally to watch out for packages while you aren’t there. This will avoid someone stealing your gifts.

10. Gifts like drinking glasses are good when they come in sets. So, if you get duplicates of something consider keeping it, you might never know when it might come in handy.

A wedding registry is great for any bride and groom. They make life easier and allow them to receive things they actually want.

Your Parade - The Wedding March

Posted by Doncrack

The wedding march is a traditional procession that happens at most weddings, depending on the customs and cultures of the bride and groom. Soon after each the bride and groom have arrived at the alter, everyone is expected to come together in couples, and follow the newlyweds to the venue. The procession branches out as they are following the couple. Those people who were in the wedding ceremony stick to the center while those who were invited stay towards the sides of the procession.

A wedding an amazing event to attended for both friends and family. A wedding is an event that demands felicitation and lots of arrangement prior to it. The wedding march is an event in which everyone can be a part of and gives the opportunity to join the couple by creating unity. Every tradition performed in a wedding has a history to it, this does not exclude the wedding march.

Music is an integral factor to anyone’s wedding. It plays a huge role in setting up the mood and tone for the ceremony. The harpsichord, contributes greatly to the wedding ceremony and its atmosphere. Anybody who has attended a wedding will tell you how important the music is, especially when the bride walks down the aisle. Different types of tunes and melodies are played at certain times in wedding services. Accompanied by two different tunes, the wedding march has one for the recessional and processional.

The wedding march can be dated back all the way the middle of the nineteenth century. Before then, music was not allowed to be a part of any wedding. Soon though, it became a tradition to have music played throughout the service. Richard Wagner was the creator of “Here Comes the Bride”, as it was first used in his opera Lohengren. This melody is what has become traditionally played as the bride walks down the aisle to the alter and her groom.

The tune choosen for the recessional, is from a piece composed by Felix Mendelssohn. It was choosen for A Midsummers Night’s Dream, but wasn’t played until after his death. It became popular in the mid-eighteen hundreds, after the English Princess Royal played it during her recessional.

The history of the music used for the wedding march, has and will change over time. So far, it has continued to be a part of wedding ceremonies for decades and will evolve as the world of music does.

More Memories For Life

Posted by Doncrack

Your wedding day is approaching and you know it is going to be everything you ever wanted. It is important for many people to capture this special day and preserve its memories for years to come. Wedding photography can never take too much time and planning to make sure that your wedding day is captured in the manner you want.

I have a few tips on how to save money and make sure that you are happy with the photos from your wedding photographer.

The first and most important tip is to find the right photographer. Take your time and do your research. Wedding photography is an art and you want someone who has experience with wedding photography. Your photographer should want to make you look beautiful and should want to make you happy. Take a look at his or hers work from the past. You want someone who has a similar style as you do.

Another great wedding photography tip, is to have a good relationship with the photographer. You want to feel like your photographer is also your friend. Your photographer is going to be right beside you on your special day and you want to be comfortable with them. They are going to capture big moments and private moments.

A different idea for wedding photography, is to include your guests. Setting disposable cameras on the reception tables will get your guests to participate with taking pictures. You can end up with some great shots that wouldn’t have happened with just one photographer.

If you are on a budget, talking to friends and acquaintances is a great way to find a good photographer that isn’t horribly expensive. You can also talk the place where you are having your reception. They hosts a majority of weddings every year and probably know where you can find an affordable photographer.

If you have a wedding planner, talk to them about wedding photography if you have not already. Wedding planners are constantly working with photographers and may be able to help you save some money.

For those who are really set on a great wedding photographer, think about what you might be able to do without. If it comes between having those great chair covers for the reception hall and having photo’s that will last for lifetimes, it might be worth it. In doing this, you can have great pictures and stay in your budget.

Affordable wedding photography is all about being creative and flexible. Thinking a little differently can help you save money and get you beautiful pictures at the same time.
