Catering Your Wedding

There are a variety of reasons you may decide to cater your own wedding.

  • If you are having a small, informal wedding, having a potluck reception may be just the thing.
  • If you can’t imagine your wedding day without special cultural foods or some of Grandma’s famous recipes, then doing your own catering may be the right way to get the exact meal that you want. [Read more]

    Country Wedding Theme is our day 4 installment of our 12 days of Creative Wedding Theme.

    Country Wedding Theme

    For the bride who wants warm, relaxed, and down-home wedding, country wedding theme fits the bill.  Country wedding does not mean jeans and cowboy boots, although you can wear these, too, if you fancy yourself getting married in these clothes.  Nothing wrong with that, but what we want to share with you here is the more conservative country wedding - with the gowns, lots of fresh flowers and country music.  Here’s the list:

    Location:  Choose a rustic country with open wood beams and large, cozy fireplaces, an old farmhouse or a big barn-style building. [Read more]

    Winter Wedding Theme in Blue

    August 30, 2008

    I’ve always been facinated with Preston Bailey’s designs.  This famous Winter Wonderland on the upper left is the inspiration for this winter wedding theme in blue.  This illustration board shows that you do not need to live in a state that is blessed with winter wonderland to use a winter wedding theme.  Bring the winter indoors with flickering tiny indoor lights in white to simulate the snow and wash the room with blue lights.  The wedding cake, table setting and the bridesmaids’ gown complete the theme.  Last, but not the least, the bride with her lovely flowing bridal gown brings in the warmth to the cold winter night.
