For dimmer venues, use tealight candles in little glass boxes, to be placed along side each table setting.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">2. Large clear glass bowls filled with sand and floating candles make a great centerpiece. 3. Sprinkle rose petals on tables for a <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-centerpieces.html">romantic touch</a>.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">If you are having an <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/creative-wedding-cards.html">informal wedding</a>, simple white porcelain plates with gold or silver edges are good.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">4. Simple and plain dining ware deserves a more extravagant centerpiece.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">5. Wrap chairs with organza ribbons in dark shades of ivory or gold, and use table napkins of the same color. Tie alternating styles of flowers on each chair for some variety, and use simple matte gold plates. For the centerpiece, use a lilac and ivory combination for flowers and candles.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">6. For something different, use a square table, and square plates. Choose one color and work around lighter shades of it for the <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/vegas-wedding.html" title="vegas wedding">table settings</a>. For example, ice blue table cloths to go to with ice blue ribbons around the chairs. Table napkins come in a shade or two lighter, and leave the plates white for some contrast.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">7. Instead of using just one vase with flowers, mix them up by placing more of smaller vases with colorful flowers as a centerpiece.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">8. For a minimal look, use clear glass plates with white and silver accents. For the centerpiece, a large clear glass vase with long stems of flower buds in it, instead of a bunch of leaves and open flowers. Use brown place mats with white plates, and use deep red cloth to drape the chairs and tables. Deep blue accents can be placed in the table napkins and colors of the flowers.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">9. Depending on the color of your theme, fill the centerpiece bowl with fruits matching the theme to give a variety in texture.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">10. Use raspberry and gold for a refreshing table theme. Place the flowers on the perimeter of another centerpiece of short red candles. Use matte gold plates and blush pink table napkins and chair drapers.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><img alt="wedding table" height="290" src="http://www.buas.org/hall/images/large/wedding-table.jpg" style="DISPLAY: inline; WIDTH: 410px; HEIGHT: 290px" title="wedding table" width="410"/></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong>Wedding Reception Table Decorations</strong></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">There are lots of ways to decorate your wedding reception tables with flowers, favors, candles, plants, fabric and place <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/creative-wedding-cards.html" title="wedding card">card holders</a>. Floral arrangements are a very popular way to decorate the tables at your wedding reception. For an outdoor wedding, use flowers and greenery in pots to decorate the tables. Use candles alongside flower arrangements to give an evening reception a beautiful glow. Add candles for an elegant look.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Place flower pot pens in bunches at tables in lieu of flowers. Use fabric as a table runner. Use themed place card holders to display place cards. At a <a href="http://aboutgarden.info/">garden wedding</a>, use Victorian-style tea light place card holders for an elegant table display.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">For a spring wedding, use floral favors in the décor. These daisy votive holders and daisy candle favors offer a fresh spring feel to your wedding reception tables. For a summer wedding, add coconut candles to the tables for a tropical, luau theme. Mix the coconut candles with these palm tree candles to complete the luau look.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">An autumn wedding calls for a warm palette of color. Use bright red and yellow table runners with these autumn leaf place card holders. Use these fall-colored boxes with brown or gold bows filled with Jordan almonds to decorate the guest book table. Arrange the place cards for the table around the tree. Create a winter wonderland scene on your <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-centerpieces.html">wedding reception tables</a> with these snowmen candles.</p><br /><p xmlns="" class="zoundry_raven_tags"><br /> <!-- Tag links generated by Zoundry Raven.

Most of the old, traditional wedding chapels in Las Vegas are small in size. A <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-speeches-bride-wedding-speech.html">wedding ceremony</a> package offered at the wedding chapels normally includes the wedding chapel fee, basic wedding flowers, a video of the ceremony, photo packages, chapel time and a wedding coordinator. These days there are many packages offered by Las Vegas wedding chapels, such as special Elvis Presley weddings, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/limo+weddings" rel="tag">limo weddings</a>, etc. The costs to stage a wedding in a good <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=wedding chapel">wedding chapel</a> vary. In Las Vegas, a simple yet memorable ceremony at a wedding chapel can be held for about 50 dollars.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><img alt="vegas wedding hotel" height="300" src="http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/nevada/las-vegas/images/s/las-vegas-wedding-hotels.jpg" style="DISPLAY: inline; WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" title="vegas wedding hotel" width="400"/></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong>Las Vegas</strong><strong>Wedding Chapels for Memorable Weddings in Style</strong></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Gambling and wedding -- these are the two things for which Las Vegas is infamous. Las Vegas wedding chapels line the street, and celebrity or not, you can have a Las Vegas wedding with all the glitz and <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-hair.html">glamor</a> -- you can even have Elvis stand in as a witness or officiate your wedding! Las Vegas has hundreds of Elvis impersonators. In fact, many Las Vegas wedding chapels have their own Elvis impersonators. Getting married in one of these Las Vegas wedding chapels is sure fodder for future grandkids.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">There are Las Vegas wedding chapels that can host planned, elegant and sophisticated wedding ceremonies -- minus Elvis. While most of the weddings that happen in Las Vegas wedding chapels are couples who have eloped, there is a growing trend of couples getting married in Las Vegas wedding chapels who bring their wedding entourage with them -- the parents, maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids and groomsmen. Compared with the traditional wedding ceremony and reception that involve renting venues, hiring caterers, entertainers and wedding planners, having the wedding at any one of the Las Vegas wedding chapels is considerably cheaper. Aside from Las Vegas <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-centerpieces.html">wedding</a> chapels, a number of hotels can host wedding ceremonies and do have the facilities to host such.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Every wedding is special.

While every bride wants her hair to look great on her wedding day, there are also many factors to consider in choosing a style. <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-hair.html">Women with longer hair</a> often have an especially difficult time deciding on a hairstyle.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Designing+wedding" rel="tag">Designing wedding</a> updos takes a great deal of planning. The bride has a lot of factors to consider when choosing a hairstyle. The shape of the face is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing wedding updos. This is important because certain styles of updos are more appealing on faces of a particular shape while other styles may create an unappealing look. For example some hairstyles may make a round face appear even rounder while other hairstyles may create a slenderizing illusion.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The veil or headpiece which will be worn should also be considered when choosing wedding updos. Once the <a href="http://del.icio.us/tag/headpiece" rel="tag">headpiece</a> is chosen, the bride to be can start choosing a hairstyle.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The process of choosing wedding updos usually begins with paging through wedding magazines or scrolling through websites. Seeing models with <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/hairstyles" rel="tag">hairstyles</a> you like can give you the general idea of what type of hairstyle you will choose.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The next step in the process of choosing wedding updos is to visit a salon to experiment with different styles. Once you have chosen a stylist you can do a trial run to see how the hairstyle looks with the headpiece.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Preferably the trial run to experiment with different wedding updos should take place close to the date of <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/dresses-bridesmaids.html">the wedding</a>.</p><br /><p xmlns="" class="zoundry_raven_tags"><br /> <!-- Tag links generated by Zoundry Raven.

The bride chose a few bridal gowns and she chose a few bridesmaid dresses in advance. I tried on three bridesmaid dresses and I was relieved and impressed with the bride's <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-speeches-bride-wedding-speech.html">excellent fashion sense</a>. When she told me that she wanted the bridesmaids to wear pink, <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-shop-for-wedding-gowns-and.html">strapless gowns</a>, my heart may have stopped. I imagined a shocking pink flamingo look, form-fitting dress, that would point out every single flaw on my frame - yuck. The bride and I agreed which bridesmaid dress looked the best on the Internet, but we were pleasantly surprised to see that her number two choice, we liked even better. When I tried it on it felt comfortable and I felt at ease with that particular bridesmaid dress.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The bridesmaid dresses or a whitish-pink, and though they are strapless, not my favorite choice, the bride decided to incorporate <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/short+jackets" rel="tag">short jackets</a> as an accessory for those of us who prefer not to attend church looking like Madonna. The jacket is clean and elegant, just as the lovely pink gown was.

There are many ways you can approach your wedding vows. If you are a traditional couple, you may want to stick to the traditional vows that have been spoken by generations of married couples in your family. If you are a <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/spiritual+couple" rel="tag">spiritual couple</a>, you may choose to incorporate some meaningful verses or spiritual phrases in your vows to give them added dimension. For example, Christians often quote the beautiful words of 1 Corinthians Verse 13 that says "Love is Patient, Love is Kind..." or you may choose the very lovely Jewish verse of "With this ring, you are made holy to me, for I love you as my soul." If you are a couple that has been together for many years or if you are renewing your vows, you may be looking for a special set of wedding vows that will have a greater meaning.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">There are literally thousands of different ways to state your wedding vows.

The best wedding vows are sweeping and fairly general formal statements. Before you craft those vows, do some serious marriage planning. What does that mean for your sexual intimacy and how does your sexual intimacy shape your wedding vows and your marriage? We are by nature people of passion. Our sexual urges are a glorious part of us. And our responsible response to those urges makes life grand. Maturing sexually with a beloved partner can expand life's boundaries immensely.

There are many ways to find an inexpensive wedding dress. One way is to search on Craig's list classified ads. Craig's list is set up by city and so all you would need to do is go to Craig's list and find the closest metropolitan area . They have great deals on all kinds of items so <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-hair.html">may find</a> way more than just a cheap wedding dress.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Just go to Google and search for online classifieds and you will find all sorts of online classifieds.</p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">I have found that eBay is a great place to find all sorts of wedding supplies at cheap prices. They not only have used wedding gowns but also brand new designer wedding dresses. If you sign up for a Paypal account you cannot get ripped off or I have never been anyway. Of course the best way to get a wedding dress at a huge discount is to buy a used one. Most major cities have clothes consignment shops and they always have some beautiful gowns that they are selling. A nice pair of gloves, more and better wedding jewelry as well as a fantastic veil. So keep an open mind when looking for cheap or inexpensive wedding dresses. If you have a flair for style then you can make it work and look even better than if you had bought a designer wedding gown.</p><br /><p xmlns="" class="zoundry_raven_tags"><br /> <!-- Tag links generated by Zoundry Raven.

Wedding Hair

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><em>Executive Summary By Abhishek Agarwal & Bridget Mora</em></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><img alt="wedding hair" height="400" src="http://weddingdetail.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/wedding-hair-styles.jpg" style="display: inline; width: 300px; height: 400px;" title="wedding hair" width="300" /></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>Tips To Select A Gorgeous Style</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">With out a good professional advice choosing your <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/make+up+&+style" rel="tag">make up & style</a> for the wedding is a real tough one. Following below are some tips to help you make the key decisions regarding your hair styling & make up for the day of <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-shop-for-wedding-gowns-and.html" title="gown wedding">the wedding</a>:</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Have enough time on hand.</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">You must make sure to have enough time for your make up & hair dressing. Visit your hair stylist at least six weeks prior to the wedding so that they can go ahead with some minor changes needed in the hair. Also, in case you are <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/creative-wedding-cards.html">planning to change</a> your hair style, the hair color, or the length of the hair, you might also need time up to 6 months or so.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Meet the hair dresser & seek an appointment.</strong></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">You must prefer a hair dresser recommended by some one close in the friends and / or family. While we all seek appointment for the <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/wedding+day" rel="tag">wedding day</a>, seek some extra appointments and show the professional some snaps of the kind of style, dress & head pieces you wish to have on your big day. Also discuss with the professional in detail regarding the apt color, texture & style.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>3. For permed or relaxed hair</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">In case you plan to have permed or relaxed hair, discuss it with your hair stylist. Check if they think that this procedure is safe or would it damage your hair. Damaged hair of course would never look good & they are also very difficult to style.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Coloring your hair.</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Let the professional help you decide the shade in case you are thinking of dyeing or coloring your hair. The shade you <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-speeches-bride-wedding-speech.html">choose must suit</a> your skin tone & the color of your eyes.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Hair Style must match with the cut of your wedding gown.</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Make sure that the hair style you choose is quite in tandem with the cuts & shape of your wedding gown.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>6. For the short hair.</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Those girls who have short hair may try highlighting to ad some richness to their style. Try undergoing some hair treatments or with a professional advice use some products that would add shine to your hair.<br /></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>7. For the long hair.</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Those who have long hair can try some very elegant & classy looks with their hair tied up with a rich style.</p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://loversmaniac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wedding-hair-styles.jpg"><img alt="wedding hair" border="0" src="http://loversmaniac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wedding-hair-styles.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 359px; height: 359px;" /></a><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><strong>Trendy Wedding Hairstyles</strong></strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">How you wear your hair will have a huge impact on your wedding day look. Your hairdo should look fresh and easy, not overly styled or contrived. Relaxed waves are the order of the day; pin straight hair is not what brides are wearing now. Picture Veronica Lake's iconic hairstyle, only not so perfect. For cascading waves, a pretty pearl comb will be the ideal type of <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/bridal+jewelry" rel="tag">bridal jewelry</a> for your hair.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Most of the trendiest wedding hairstyles involve pulling the hair back into some sort of knot or bun. As with the natural waves, these are loose knots, not tight ballerina buns or pristine chignons. Allow a few tendrils of hair to spring free around your face.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Braids are being used to create some very romantic hairstyles for brides with long hair. We are not talking about two perfect braids, nor the ubiquitous French braids of the 1980s. These braids are not prim or schoolgirlish; they are flirty, soft, and vintage inspired. One long loose braid in the back is one pretty option for wedding hair. For your hair <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/02/diamond-wedding-rings.html">bridal jewelry</a>, finish off the look with a scattering of beautiful crystal or pearl pins tucked into the knot.</p><br /><p xmlns="" class="zoundry_raven_tags">The current trends in bridal hairstyles are a perfect pairing with the romantic and eclectic gowns that are in vogue. A soft chiffon wedding dress will look even better when the bride's hair is gathered up into a loose vintagey pouf in the back. Your wedding day hairdo should definitely complement your gown, as well as bring out the natural beauty of your face.<br /><!-- Tag links generated by Zoundry Raven.

These cards only need <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/03/wedding-color-palette-ideas.html">the Bride</a> and Grooms names and the date and location of the wedding. It's a good idea to include "Invitation to follow" so they don't keep calling for the details that are not available yet like reception location and time.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><img alt="invitation cards" height="280" src="http://www.lovleyweddings.com/UserFiles/2008/4/12/cadrs.jpg" style="margin: 5px; display: inline; float: left; width: 300px; height: 280px;" title="invitation cards" width="300" /></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>The Invitation</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">As before these will reflect the type of <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=wedding" target="_blank">wedding</a> to come so chose the style accordingly. Most people spend between 1-2% of the budget on the stationary. When ordering your stationary remember to include 10 extra to provide for mistakes and late invites. This will be cheaper than having to reorder a new batch. It a good idea to let another person check the invites before they go out to make sure all is in order and spelled correctly. The invitation will include the names of the hosts; the brides name the grooms name, the ceremony location, date and time, the reception location and the RSVP address. If children are being invited include on the invitation if not leave out.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>Reply Card</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">The reply card is an optional but efficient way of getting the guest list finalized. You can also include a menu option so that guest with dietary needs can be catered for. Don't for get the stamp so that guest can reply promptly.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>Wedding Service Programme</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Similar to mass booklets but contain more information. They may include the whole wording of <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/02/ideas-for-perfect-finishing-touch.html">the ceremony</a>, which will provide for a lovely memento of the day especially if the couple has written their own vows. This also offers the scope to mention deceased loved ones or to give a little background on the wedding party or to explain any unfamiliar rites. You can even go further by including poems, photos etc.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>Place Cards</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">These are traditionally <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/small+cards" rel="tag">small cards</a> engraved with guests name and each seating place. Now more couples are finding creative ways to replace these. One option is to carve the names into small pebbles or stones and offer to guests as a memento you imagination is the limit with this so don't be afraid to let it run riot.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><img alt="wedding card" height="500" src="http://www.butterfly-craft-boutique.co.uk/wedding%20main.jpg" style="display: inline; width: 400px; height: 399px;" title="wedding card" width="400" /></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>Thank you cards</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">These are absolutely essential to thank each guest for his or her attendants and gifts you received. You can opt to match these to the <a href="http://del.icio.us/tag/invitation%20cards" rel="tag">invitation cards</a> or pick up a pack of pre-printed cards from your local card shop. Take time to write a hand written note to each on the card to each guest as it is only courtesy and will be remembered.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>Special Touches</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Besides the choices of text, type, paper and design there are lots of ways to personalize and add that special touch to your cards. Trimmings can range from feathers to pearls, shells flowers or ribbons each design can be unique.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Another option can be the original watercolor of the church where the ceremony is taking place or the coat of arms of the bride and grooms family branded on the invitation.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Photogenic designs and laser cut monograms of the couple's initials on the front of the card is a hot new trend.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>Information packs</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">In addition to the invitation itself you can include directions to the church and reception, local tourist attractions for distant relatives and even details of the wedding list. Such details will be appreciated by the out of town wedding guests who will be unfamiliar with the place your getting married and be interested in favorite bars, restaurants and tourist attractions if any.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong>DIY Stationary</strong></p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">One way to save money and add that <a href="http://1st-thewedding.blogspot.com/2009/03/elegant-and-beautiful-wedding-hair.html">personal touch</a> to the stationary is to make your own. This is more popular than ever and there is an abundant choice of card paper and trinkets to choose from including high quality hand made and floral paper.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">You can add organza ribbon, feathers, shells the options are limitless all you will need is a printer to add the script or why not try your hand at some DIY calligraphy to add a definite personalized touch. Although this method of creating your own stationary takes time it can be highly rewarding.</p><br /><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; font-style: italic;">By Declan Tobin</p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><!-- Tag links generated by Zoundry Raven.
