Selecting Your Wedding Day Jewelry

Today's bridal jewelry often includes rhinestones, diamonds, faux diamonds--sometimes called CZs, Swarovski crystals, Austrian crystals, and/or a combination of two or more. It's really a matter of personal style and budget.



Most people build up a "look" or theme around one particular piece of their wedding day outfit. Whatever your inspiration, it’s a good idea to try and get each piece of the outfit to accessorize beautifully with everything else. Don’t feel that you have to…

The Cost of Wedding Invitations

The price of the invitation depends on many factors such as, the type of invite, the stationer, the ink, the typeface, the printing process and the quantity. To keep costs low use simple designs and opt for a single color.



In addition to the cost of the actual invitation, you need to factor in the cost to mail the invitations, as well as the postage for the response cards. The heavier the invitation the higher the cost. Use lightweight papers and fewer insert cards to save on postage… Continue

A "9/11" wedding?

September 11 falls on a Saturday this year, 2010. That's the second time since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon that "9/11" has fallen on a Saturday. The first time was 2004. Nobody in 2004 wanted to get married on 9/11 -- the horrific memories of 2001 were too raw.



Now, it is nine years later. It will be interesting to see if "9/11" is still a date wedding couples avoid. My guess is that most wedding couples still prefer that their anniversary… Continue

How to choose the perfect wedding veil

How to choose the perfect wedding veil



After your wedding gown, a veil is one of the most defining aspects of your bridal appearance. Historically a veil was worn to protect the bride from evil spirits; nowadays it is simply considered a beautiful form of adornment.
