wedding hankies

May 29th, 2009 | By WeddingPlanner77

Wedding is one of those rare occasions when all members of the family are gathered in the spirit of gaiety, family unity and joy. Broken relationships among friends or family are usually mended on this day and glowing happiness is abundantly displayed amongst everyone.

With all the months preparations for this once in a lifetime occasion; stress, wedding jitters, anticipation and other strong emotions still fill the air during the ceremony itself. Yet the moment the bridal march is played, it all comes to a halt and all eyes focus on the bride walking down the aisle. While the groom eagerly awaits, wedding hankies are passed from a mother to another who are now joined as a family.

Every bride usually wants an elegant wedding. However, not every bride has a budget that can buy everything they want. One thing I discovered about preparing for a wedding are the details. Small but elegant party favors are cheap yet effective way to add glitz and glamour to a wedding. Not only do they dress up a party, but guests will also remember your special day when they bring one home with them.

There are many cheap but elegant party favors available nowadays to fit different wedding themes, so finding one won’t be so difficult. But you can also make them yourself. There are so many blog sites that promote self made favors. Some even use recycled materials which makes it more cheaper. Examples are candies wrapped in colored tissue paper or place cards with stamps.

wedding accessories

When I got married three years ago, I told my wedding planner I was on a tight budget. I made a list of wedding accessories I was willing to scrimp on as well as other wedding matters I would splurge on. However, coming from an advertising background and having worked with some of the best creative people in the industry, I realized I had to pay attention to the small details to achieve my dream wedding. As the wedding date got closer and closer, I became obsessed with finding tasteful yet affordable wedding accessories to match my simple wedding gown. I decided then that my accessories needed the same amount of attention as the cake, the gown, the food, and the photographer.

My choice of shoes were crucial, I wanted something simple, elegant, and comfortable for me to dance to all night long. The jewelry I chose to wear was modern and simple so as not to draw attention from my vintage inspired gown. Other wedding accessories included monogrammed table napkins with our initials, guest name cards and favors. The invitations were given much attention as well. Our burgundy motif was evident in the choice of color, flowers and décor. All in all, a wedding is best enjoyed when it is made your own.

personalized wedding favor

Weddings are not about expensive gifts and give-away products. They are about celebrating the union of two lovestruck individuals. That is why expensive gifts of appreciation have given way to personalized wedding favors. They are conceptualized by the bride and groom to coordinate with their wedding theme and assigned to a member of the wedding party to execute. A personalized wedding favor is deeply appreciated by members of the wedding entourage and guests.

Wedding favors can be anything from food items such as candies, slices of fruit cake or chocolate molds, to religious wedding favors such as rosaries or angel pins. In some cases, specially designed place card holders double as wedding favors that the guest can bring home. With the availability of portable photo printers, it is possible to print pictures of the guest with the bride and groom. This will make a unique giveaway.

After all the wedding guests have left, couples look back on the wonderful day that had just transpired.

There are even beautiful ensembles that they can get so the unity candle and ring bearer pillow also match. Couples can also have a customized guest book that is truly their own. They can also get a pen set to go with the wedding guest book.

bridal handkerchief

A bride should definitely not use tissue paper when she walks down the aisle. Her cute embroidered pouch that matches her bridal gown should contain a bridal handkerchief. There are cute ones with intricate embroidery that compliments the color theme of the wedding. Others have cut out designs. These hankies are not just for show. She will need it to wipe away a few tears – her own or that of the groom.

The bridal handkerchief will of course be kept as a souvenir together with the bridal dress, the pouch and the rest of the bridal paraphernalia. Make sure it is clean before storing it in a box or garment bag. For sure there will be stains from the wayward wedding cake crumb or the wet grass where you posed for a bridal picture. Let a professional cleaner take care of that. Years from now you will discover it in the attic and remember the time when your waist line was just this big.

Weddings are quite elaborate celebrations that use different items to complete the ceremony. The lighting of the unity candle is one of the most important ceremonies done during the wedding. The couple can choose the unity candle that will be used during the ceremony.

There are different unity candles that they can choose from. The main unity candle is large and measures at around 3″ x 3″ x 9″. They are adorned with bows or engraved with hearts and other designs. Then there are two smaller candles that each person will hold. The smaller candles match the bigger candle and are adorned accordingly as well. These candles are kept by the couple as part of their wedding memento.

Weddings are very special occasions. Every detail of the event needs to be thoroughly attended to. One special detail that not everyone looks into is the wedding cake server. Some use just any silver cake server that most caterers supply.

You can also match your other wedding accessories to your wedding cake server. Now, you have more memories to keep from your special day.
