Garter Toss Inspiration
01/17/2012 Posted In: Wedding Reception

This garter toss idea is perfect for the football fanatic groom or for the couple who is looking for a unique idea for the wedding reception. After your groom removes the wedding garter, have him place it onto a football before tossing to his single guys. Including a hobby or interest you love is a great way to show your guests your personalities!

Martinis are so sheik! Having a martini bar at your wedding will definitely set the mood and make your wedding a swanky affair. If you haven’t noticed, martinis aren’t your standard gin, vermouth, and an olive any more. They come in a wide variety of flavors and colors making them enjoyable for everyone at your wedding.


Tantalizing Trends from The Wedding Salon
11/18/2010 Posted In: Wedding Reception

Brides are opting to go au natural and we aren’t talking make-up! This Monday at The Wedding Salon, some of the top names in bridal showcased the newest trends in weddings and the remarkable trend of earthy elements and earthy tones.

David Beahm design, created an elaborate table display with sand-blasted grapevine. This larger-than-life wooden cage-like centerpiece dripping with all-white orchids, roses and peonies took on a new play on wooden centerpieces showing that wooden structures will be used in new ways in the year ahead. beahm predicts that an alternative to chiavari chairs for 2011 will be porcelain woodland stumps, straight from the scene of a Disney classic. These wooden delights can be the perfect accessory to any winter wonderland wedding.

Shawn Rabideau, of Bravo's Bethenny Getting Married, revealed that natural table displays combining elements of all four seasons, will be a huge trend for the year ahead. Take for example, autumn’s sky-high branches mixed with spring’s blossoming tulip bulbs.

At the same time, Michelle Rago, made it known that, brides will go for less linen. Brides will opt for gorgeous farm tables with classic linen runners, letting the beauty of the wood shine through. Rago also showcased wedding accessories such as beautiful bouquets made entirely out of seashells for destination weddings.

All in all, brides will look to nature for gorgeous and unique accents, from sand and seashells to branches and tree trunks to awe their wedding guests in this coming year.


Add Romance to Your Reception
09/29/2009 Posted In: Wedding Reception

Every couple would try their best to make their wedding party the most memorable for themselves and their guests. It does not need to pay lots of money on venue decorations. A small detail does account!

Rose Ice Cubes!

Personally I love this rose ice cube very much. It is very lovely and you would feel so sweet and romance about your wedding party. It is very easy to make it: keep the roses submerged in ice trays, add water to the ice tray and freeze overnight. After the ice is formed, cut out the stems and it done! Try it out for your loverly wedding party.

However, as what Jonathan (the gentleman who make these outstanding ice cubes) said in his website. It may not be an excellent idea to put these lovely ice cubes into the beverage since there may be pesticides. Instead you can use them to cool the wine and the bottle of it.
