IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!

Wedding Planning Guide Secrets!!...
"Imagine if This Happened on YOUR Wedding Day!"
Dear Friend,
As you are hopefully well aware, planning a wedding is a huge task. It can be fun, but also very stressful.
You may have heard from friends and relatives not to worry about what goes wrong on your special day because inevitably there will be the odd blunder.
But does that really fill you with the confidence you need and reduce your wedding stress?
Personally I haven't seen too many weddings where there are massive disasters (I've seen a couple, but not many), but I have heard of dozens of weddings where they just didn't go as well as they had hoped.
Remember: You only get 1 shot at this! (well at least I hope that is your plan!)
Any number of things can happen and they aren't necessarily major, but good planning can alleviate all the stress of worrying about what might go wrong and allow you to enjoy your special day. Here's a few examples of disappointing things that have happened at weddings...
I remember one wedding where the bride asked the camera men to film her walking into the church. So they filmed her from the doorway from behind. She wanted to be filmed from the front!
That same wedding they ordered some throw-away cameras about 1 month before the wedding, and they didn't arrive! They wanted to have these on the tables, and they ended up having to buy some from the shop for expensive prices at the last minute. Problem solved, but oh what stress!
A friend of my husband got married 2 years ago, and at his wedding he found after when looking at the wedding photos that he hadn't got 1 single photo with his mother. What a shame for him and for her.
And unfortunate it's so easy for any one of hundreds of minor things to crop up. How can you ensure that you have a perfect wedding day that you can enjoy and look back on with eternal happiness?

PLANNING A BRIDAL SHOWER OF A LIFETIME

By: Janet R



There's no other way to show to the bride-to-be how special she is than planning a bridal shower of a lifetime. Planning a shower party is enough to make a memorable gift for a good friend who is soon to be a bride. Let her feel she is important and that you all supporting her as she about to begin her new life.
As the hostess, you need to consider several things that makes up a typical bridal shower, and you want to add a bit of something to make it more special and memorable. First in the list is the theme of the party. Think of the best theme for the bride-to-be. There are so many bridal shower theme to choose from, some of the most popular bridal shower themes include:
Tea PartyRoom Of The HouseStock The PantryStock The BarWine Tasting ShowerLingerieAround The ClockHoneymoon ShowerJack And Jill Wedding ShowerGarden-Themed Bridal ShowerSlumber Bridal Shower

Remember, you should never ask the bride to contribute any amount...hey it's a gift her! You want to make a bridal shower of a lifetime, so it is very important to plan carefully and to use the budget wisely.
Pick and send the perfect shower invitations to the guests. Choose shower invitations that fits the theme of the shower, and make sure to send them ahead of time. You can either make or purchase shower invitations. You search online for great shower invitation ideas that you can create at home.
Serve mouth-watering menu. You can hire a caterer or you can ask help from your other friends to cook delightful food for the party. The time of the day, as well as the theme will tell you what best menu to serve.
Of course, you want the party to be more fun and exciting, so why not provide shower games? Jazz up the moment by providing fun and exciting games to all the guests. You may consider traditional games like bridal shower bingo game or trivia about the bride and the groom.

WEDDING HAIRSTYLES TO MAKE HEADS TURN!

Without a doubt, wedding hairstyles get a lot of "face time," so to speak. A bride's hairstyle is at the forefront in all of the pictures. Her veil is designed to draw attention to it. The wedding video will display it prominently. It is thus important that you choose a style which will make you look your very best. You also have to make sure that it will withstand all the hugging, kissing, and dancing you will be doing during the ceremony and the reception.
The first rule of choosing a hairstyle for your wedding is making sure that it complements your dress. It should not take all the attention away from your gown. Similarly, it should complement the formal quality of your dress. If your gown is casual, your hair should be as well. Modern dresses call for a sleek look. Princess dresses call for drama and decadence.
Your veil and/or your headpiece also plays a part in choosing your hairstyle. Remember, they have to attach easily. Most importantly, they have to stay on your head. Your hairstyle should not interfere with that. You also have to consider your hair type.
For instance, if your hair is straight and fine, then hairpieces which have wide toothed combs are not going to stay in well. You will need a fine toothed comb. Bobby pins are ideal for curly hair; they can make just about anything stick. Also, you should choose a style which will withstand the removal of your hairpiece without getting all messed up in the process.
Everything about a bride is supposed to shine on her wedding day - and that includes her hair. Straight hair is usually naturally glossy, but it also tends to be rather flyaway. Believe it or not, rubbing a dryer sheet over your hair can take care of this. So can anti static spray. Wavy or curly hair should be conditioned with a moisturizing cream rinse before hand. Shine serums are always a good idea as well.
Now, what do you do if you have short hair? Actually, you can do quite a lot. Shorter hair lends itself well to a variety of glamorous styles. Miniature barrettes can help a lot. So can simply tousling your hair, or using some chic headbands.
Longer hair is both easier and harder to style. It takes some work to get it looking right. Here, you have the option of classic looks, like the French twist. Buns and chignons are always quite chic as well.
You can never underestimate the power of accessories, whether they are barrettes or headbands. Of course, those are hardly the only accessories available. Pearled combs, lovely flower petals, delicate ribbons - all of these can add some elegance and class to your bridal style. The point is, it is really all up to you. What makes you feel beautiful? What complements your dress? You want to feel like a princess on your wedding day, so just make sure you choose what is, for you, the most royal hairstyle possible.

Hip,Cool Bridesmaid Dresses.

Who says bridesmaid dresses have to be big, frumpy, or downright unattractive? Many brides are treating their bridesmaids to dresses that are hip, fashion forward, and fabulous enough to be worn to their next cocktail party. These are some of the things to look for in the coolest, trendiest bridesmaid dresses.
The first thing to do is forget about a floor length dress. The hippest bridesmaid dresses are knee length or even a bit shorter. (Yes, bridesmaids can wear mini dresses if they are not too mini, and they are done in good taste. Think on the beach, not in a cathedral.) Color is very important, as well. The most modern dresses are not done in the traditional pastels, but rather are in sophisticated striking colors such as deep purple, pewter, and navy.
It is the cut that sets a hip bridesmaid dress apart from the pack. Look for interesting, fresh-off-the-runway details. Good choices include one shoulder dresses, strapless, bubble hems, and deep sexy v-necks. These bridesmaid dresses will have unique designs, such as a combination of chiffon and satin, tiers, or a baby doll style.
Fabrics for updated bridesmaid dresses typically are flowing and fluid. You will definitely not find any petticoats! Popular choices include chiffon, charmeuse, and tissue taffeta. Stiff and formal fabrics do not work when you are going for a modern and updated look.
The right accessories will make all of the difference in the finished effect. To keep the bridesmaids looking hip and current, you will need to take care with their accessories. If you add a traditional strand of pearls to a deep-v dark aubergine dress, you will ruin the effect. When you are shopping for bridesmaid jewelry gifts, your mantra should be unique, stylish, and hip. The jewelry gifts that you give to each bridesmaid should be pieces that they will want to wear again, such as long crystal earrings and pendants. For the perfect finishing touches, think about strappy sandals, beaded or fabric clutches, and a wrap in case it gets chilly.
The bridesmaid dresses that you choose should naturally suit the general tone and style of your wedding. Hip and trendy dresses are ideal for weddings in places like urban lofts or outdoor locations. They would not suit wedding spots that are formal, traditional, or very conservative. Keep in mind that the dresses you choose should also suit your bridesmaids - all of your bridesmaids. If your friends are fairly young and trendy themselves, then these chic and updated styles will suit them to a "t". On the other hand, if your attendants are normally more country club than city chic, they might end up looking and feeling ridiculous in really cutting edge dresses.
Ultimately, the bridesmaid dresses that you choose are a reflection of your personal style and taste. If you gravitate towards what is cool and modern, then your bridesmaid dresses should also be hip and stylish. The right bridesmaid dresses will add a fresh and fashionable edge to your wedding party.

Bridal Shower-A special to show how special she is

Bridal showers are a perfect way to show brides how special they are to their family and friends. There are so many great ideas to apply to make the bridal shower successful. Of course, this is the main goal of the hostess - making the event as perfect as possible. However, despite of the charming adornments and delightful meals present in the party, planning for it is not always as easy as you want it to be. As the hostess, you are responsible for so many things. Planning for this event definitely require patience and willingness to show, ''hey girl, you mean a lot to us.''

The first thing you need to consider when planning a bridal shower is the budget. This is the most important factor to lead you until ending. First, decide how much you are willing to spend. Traditionally, the bride has nothing to do with the expenses. A bridal shower is thrown as a gift to the bride-to-be, therefore it is very inappropriate to include her bank account in the line. The hostess, however, can ask for contribution from other friends.

After the budget has been decided, you will then need a theme for the party. There are several themes to think of, such as a lingerie theme, tropical theme, beach theme...etc. You must think of the bride when choosing a theme for her party. Consider the things she love; her interests and hobbies and her overall personality. After all the party is for her, so relating everything to her is definitely a good idea.

When choosing the shower decorations, pick those that suits the theme of the shower. It is always a smart idea to incorporate items that will easily tell what theme you would like to show to the guests. Aside from the decorations, the theme will also tell you what menu should be on the serving table, as well the time of the day.

Of course, the bridal shower will be incomplete without gifts. One thing that makes it a shower party is, different gifts will be showered to the bride-to-be. This has been an old tradition, and often these gifts include household wares, silly lingerie, marriage guiding books and other gifts that can help the bride prepare for her new life as wife.

During bridal showers, the gifts are not only for bride but for other people also. In fact, bridal showers are the perfect time where brides often give gifts to their bridesmaids. Popular bridesmaids gifts include personalized tote bags, engraved compact mirrors, jewelry pieces, and other things that the bridesmaids can use at wedding day. Lastly, the both the hostess and the bride would like to end the party by thanking all the guests. Giving out bridal shower favors is a great way to say thank you to all those who spend their time with the bride. There are so many great choices of favors available online, just pick those that, of course, suits the theme of your party. So basically, these are the things that usually bridal shower has, but above all, have fun when planning and choosing bridal shower accessories and supplies. Don't get stress over little things, plan ahead so that you'll have plenty of time to decide.

FRESH IDEAS TO SAVE ON YOUR WEDDING

Is it possible to have a fantastic wedding without spending a fortune? It is, as long as you are creative about finding ways to save money without sacrificing style. Check out these ideas for inspiration on how you can trim your wedding budget.
Brides can be quite clever when it comes to getting the look they want at the price they can afford. The whole idea is to keep things affordable without ever looking cheap. These are some ways that real brides have found to do just that.
Flowers can be one of the most costly design elements for both your ceremony and reception. One way to cut back on the ceremony expenses is to forgo the traditional bouquets for the entire wedding party. That does not mean that your bridesmaids will have to walk down the aisle empty handed. A very elegant alternative is to have each attendant carry one single perfect flower instead of the big costly bouquets. Choose a flower that has a strong presence, such as a long stemmed rose or a fabulous lily. The bride can march down the aisle on the arm of her father without any flowers, and when she arrives the altar, each bridesmaid can hand her their flowers to create a lovely and simple arm bouquet. Instead of looking cheap, it will add a special moment to the wedding processional.
Cakes are another place that a creative bride can save a little money. One thing that brides have been doing for years is to have the baker create a fairly small wedding cake to display, and then to make a large sheet cake in the same flavor. This way the bride and groom can still have the traditional cake cutting moment, but you will save an enormous amount on the price per person.
Another way that some brides think about saving on their wedding cake is to order one from a grocery store instead of a bakery. This has the potential to be a very effective cost-cutting measure, but there are also some pitfalls to watch out for. First of all, you need to have a cake tasting just like you would at a bakery. It is also important to find out if your cake will be frozen after being baked. If you save money on the cake but it does not taste very good, you will regret it. The other concern is that many grocery stores will not deliver, meaning that you will have to have someone that you can trust to pick up the cake, safely transport it to your reception, and then assemble the layers. Come to think of, it might not be worth it!
Brides always want to give their bridesmaids thank you gifts that are personal and special, but it is not necessary to spend a lot on each gift. You will find that bridesmaid jewelry gifts can be very affordable at online retailers. The other nice thing about ordering your gifts of bridesmaid jewelry online is that it will be very easy to customize them for each bridesmaid or to match your wedding colors. If you want something engraved, such as a beautiful silver bracelet, getting it online will also save you the trip to the engraver's. When you can save both time and money, you know that you have found a great idea!
Do not stress about cutting costs at your wedding. There are so many ways to do it without it being obvious or detracting from the elegance of your wedding. With all of the money that you save, maybe you can even splurge a little more on your honeymoon!Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Guy_Antonelli

A Dream-Come-True Wedding on a Budget

When planning a dream-like wedding, what may be affordable for you may be too much for others. Before you jump into extraordinary things for your wedding, you have to consider first you finances. It is always a must to see first what you can afford on every detail of your wedding. Compare prices of several catering, the cost of the video, photos and music. You also need to consider the cost of the wedding clothing, dresses and tuxedos, as well as the cost of flowers and decorations. The reception can be very expensive if it's not given a proper attention, the wedding favors and lastly the cost of the honeymoon. All these things requires money and are included in the overall wedding expenses.
If you are on a budget, it is always a good idea to make a list of priorities for this will help you generate a rough estimate of how much a typical wedding costs. With this, you can then start finding for the exact prices. The cost your reception menu will tell you how many guests you can invite, meaning if the costs are beyond what you can afford to spend, then you will have to cut down your guest list.
The wedding reception is the major focus if you are planning to have a wedding on a budget. When you have a tight budget, of course you don't want to invite as many of your family and friends as possible. Apart from your wedding guests, another factor that can seriously increase your wedding cost is the food. If you opt to serve a sit down meal, you can save money by handling the catering yourself. You may have to rent the location for the dinner and dance, but you can always plan to serve your own menu to save some extra bucks. A good example to elaborate this idea is by gathering your family and friends to help you cook and serve the food. You may also consider checking if there are any charitable organizations in your area that do catering for special events. These organizations can usually cater a delightful hot or cold meal at a reasonable price.
Of course, a wedding will not be completed if there's no drinks for everyone, and this alone is a huge add up to your wedding expenses. Today, many couple opt to have a cash bar where guests pay their own drinks, instead of providing all the drinks for the guests. Depending on the rules of the location you choose for your reception, if you are allowed to bring in your own alcoholic beverages you can have a Bring Your Own Booze event, which you can denote on the invitation as BYOB. Aside from such economical idea, you can also save money by buying wine kits which will able you to make and bottle your own wine.
The same through with your wedding cake. If you can make your own nice wedding cake, then feel free of doing it so. If you make your own cakes, you can rent cake pans for wedding cakes at a very cheap cost. If you can make your own cake but can't decorate it, you may bring it to your favorite bakery shop to be decorated. You can make them well in advance and freeze them.
Another thing that will help you save money on your wedding is planning for cheap wedding favors, as well as giving out inexpensive wedding gifts. Instead of extravagant wedding gifts that are often available in a dollar store, why not give inexpensive bridesmaids gifts or discount groomsmen gifts? After all, these gifts need not be too much to be valued and appreciated.Published At: www.Isnare.comPermanent Link: http://www.isnare.com/?aid=333163&ca=Marriage

Wedding Photographs:How Important Is It

All couples will know that the wedding photos are very important in a sense that they will capture all the sweet and memorable moments in your wedding. You will certainly spend the time to do your research. You will try to hire a photographer who can deliver photos with the highest quality. Though you know that the photos are very important for your big day, you may not really know why they are so important.
Your wedding date is the first day of your marriage. You will become a marriage couple with your spouse on this day. That day is certainly an important day in your life. This is why you would like to make this day perfect. Your best friends and family members will attend your wedding. It is quite difficult for your friends and family members to gather since most people are very busy at work. You will certainly want to take some photos on this special day. You will be taking pictures with your friends and family members. It can be very difficult for you to get a chance to take photos with them if you do not do so in your wedding.
As discussed, you will be trying your best to make your wedding day perfect and unique. As a result, you will need to take some photos so that you can capture all the happy moments on this day. You will certainly remember all the sweet emotions in your wedding when you see the photos a few years later.
This is why the wedding photos are so important. Of course the wedding photographer is also very important to this end. You will not be able to get the photos you want if you do not hire a good photographer.
At this point you may want to know how you should choose the wedding photographer. It is in fact not difficult to do so. The point here is that you will need to take the time to search for the photographer. First of all, you will need to choose a photographer who has experience in taking wedding photos. As a consequence, you will need to visit the potential photographers and see their portfolios. It is very important for you to do so. You will need to see if the photographer will deliver photos in the style you really love.
When the style is considered, there is no definite rule to make your decision. You can choose it merely based on your preference. You will choose the one you like when you are reviewing the portfolios of the photographers. Of course you should never make your final decision merely based on the style.

God Already Gave Us The Secret To Finding Happiness

“For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Anyone who knows what it’s like to love a child knows the soul deep agony losing that child causes, because it lingers on the edges of their consciousness as their deepest fear. Can you imagine loving someone so much, even though they’ve been petty, and selfish, and cruel, and rejected you at every turn, that you would offer up your only child, subject him to an agonizing death, just so they would know the secret to finding happiness?
Most of us could never conceive of such a thing, willingly offering ourselves up as a sacrifice for the ones we love but protecting our children fiercely. We would never willingly subject them to an experience that was going to cause them harm just to guide someone else on the path to finding happiness. Yet that’s exactly what God did when he sent his son to earth to die on the cross. He sent his child, whom he loved dearly, for the sole purpose of allowing him to suffer persecution and prejudice, torture and rejection and eventually a horrible death on the cross just so a world full of sinners would have the chance to find true happiness in their lives and spend an eternity in paradise after their death.
Most of us spend our entire lives in the pursuit of our constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We go out on the weekends with our friends, spend quality time with our family, choose our jobs with care and work hard to achieve our career goals and believe that we’re living. We think we’re happy. Then the demons that lurk deep in our soul that tell us we’re not good enough, we’re not strong enough, we’re not pretty enough or thin enough, we’re not enough, not enough, can never be enough, start whispering in our ear, and all of that happiness we thought we had just floats away on the breeze.
We don’t know the secret to finding happiness, and so we never do.
In his book “The Big Lie” Stan Sanderson, from the Spiritual Coach Program, tells his readers that the world is full of lies about finding happiness. We spend our whole lives working ourselves to the bone to find the happiness we think we’ve been looking for only to discover that at the end we’re just as unhappy as we were when we started. We’ve made our career, our jobs, our family our idols and spent our time pursuing them in the pursuit of happiness when we should have been pursuing a deeper, closer relationship with Christ.
We can never earn happiness. None of us are so selfless, so giving, so pure of heart, that we deserve happiness. We all have our secrets, our flaws, our dark spots. The difference is, people who have discovered the truth about finding happiness have opened their hearts to God and allowed the blood of Christ, spilled so many years ago, to wash that darkness clean. To take advantage of the pure happiness he so selflessly gave us when he sent Christ to die for our sins so that we could be washed clean of sins we couldn’t begin to atone for and therefore deserve the paradise that he has waiting for us.
God’s already given us the secret to finding happiness, through the son he sent to die. All we have to do is open our arms and accept itPublished At: www.Isnare.comPermanent Link: http://www.isnare.com/?aid=336245&ca=Religion

White, off-white, or white with trimmings, you can find it if you know where to look. Bear in mind that everyone has different body types, and different tastes. Take the time to look for the wedding dress of your dreams, try it on, and see if it works for you.

Naturally, you can't forget your shoes, makeup, and hairstyle.
The Million Dollar Look
You should have a look to go for, but not necessarily spend a lot for it. There are many shops offering dresses at reasonable prices and discounts.

It's not going to be easy. But it'll be worth it. After all, you must only have the best on your wedding day - wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, cakes, accessories and all!
