Love the ceiling detail!

There are certain things that you should never do when planning a wedding. Here are a few of them that go across the board---never do these things!



1. Under any circumstances, do not - DO NOT - place your registry information on your invitation. Guests will find out where you are registered well enough, they don't need you telling them to buy you a gift.



2. Do not keep your guests waiting for dinner. If your invitation says that dinner and dancing are immediately following… Continue

Adorable couple and great photography!

Want to follow some customs from other countries for your wedding? Try adding these traditions from around the world to your day to add a unique and special quality that your friends and family will find endearing.







Denmark: It is a tradition for the groom to select and arrange the flowers for his bride’s bouquet on the morning of the ceremony.



An eighteenth-century law forbade brides to wear makeup to prevent the grooms from being “fooled” by false… Continue

I have been burning the candle at both ends lately trying to keep up with the many hats that we wear around here; it is deep into wedding season you know. As a result, a quickly caught cold waylaid me yesterday and put me down for the count. I felt miserable, didn't want to do anything (if you know anything about me, that is NOT me!), and generally tried to fight it. I gave up around 5 pm and took a nap. Wow! If I had known how good I felt after that nap, I would have done that a lot sooner!… Continue

Do you ever have one of those weeks where you work and work but by the end of the 5 days, you wonder what you accomplished? Oh, you really did get some things done, but the pile to do is still as tall as ever? I know that happens to most of us at one time or another. I think that is why "Day Planners" where invented!



Even though there may be 24 hours in a day, on your wedding day, it may seem like there were only a few! Time can really escape you and by the end of the night, you… Continue

There are weddings all over the world at any given time. Couples are always falling in love--love has no respect of boundaries or countries.



I typed in the word "cute weddings" the other day and found this adorable movie in Korea about a couple who fall in love. The movie plot sounds fun, but if I want to watch it, it would have to be in subtitles.

Actually, I would bet that without the subtitles, I would… Continue

I love the wedding boards that I find on Flickr.com.

If you are one of the many couples that opt out of having a videographer at your wedding, then you are really missing out an a very important part of the day. Couples will spend hundreds of dollars on a limousine for 20 minutes of drive time for 14 people, but they balk at hiring a videographer who will capture their entire wedding day. I don't understand.



A photographer will capture a moment; a videographer captures the day. He records movement, sound and reality. Their film will… Continue

Mothers are very important at a wedding. They are second to be honored after the bride and the groom, they stand in as hosts and hostess and receive well wishes from guests - after all, it is their children that just got married.

The traditional seating of the mothers is an important aspect of the wedding. After the mother is seated, most wedding guests know what is to come after; it signifies the beginning of the processional - the beginning of the wedding.



Being able to greet… Continue
