Planning Your Bridal Bouquet

Bouquet for your Wedding
I have been talking about bridal bouquet in several posts, but I think flowers for your wedding are such an important part of the occasion that I decided to write a new post about planning and selecting your bridal bouquet. Before you start browsing, take a few things into consideration to make sure that you’re headed in the right direction.
- How formal is your wedding? The formality of the event is first and foremost in selecting the right bouquet. If you are planning a very informal wedding you may want to go with a playful selection of daisies, while a formal event might call for roses or other large, elegant flowers. If you are planning a tropical wedding, consider appropriately themed flowers, such as hibiscus. [Read more]

Transportation for Your Wedding Day
Wedding Limousine
Selecting transportation for your wedding day - whether to get you and your wedding party in time for the ceremony or for your and your spouse’s get-away car after the reception - is another important detail to be taken into consideration.

However, there are other alternatives to the traditional limo. [Read more]

Recently we posted three ethnic wedding themes - Afro-Centric, Chinese and Greek Ethnic Wedding Themes.

Italian Ethnic Wedding
Italian Wedding
The Ceremony: For a traditional Italian wedding, the bride will wear a white dress, symbolizing purity, and a veil to keep the groom from seeing her face before the ceremony. She will not wear any gold until the moment that her wedding ring is placed on her finger. Most Italian weddings are also held in Catholic ceremonies. The ceremony will therefore be proceeded by a Catholic Mass. Most Italian wedding ceremonies take place in the morning or early afternoon. Following the wedding ceremony, it is customary to release two doves into the air. The best day to get married is Sunday, but weddings during Lent or Advent are often forbidden. [Read more]
