Style: Personalization

Heather — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:21:12 +0000

When you’re choosing your theme and colors for your wedding, you should certainly not neglect to represent your personal style in décor, as well as in the realm of fashion. A popular trend in 2010 is making the details of your wedding personal – creating monograms with your initials on favors, lighting, invitations, programs, cake top or cake; photos of you and your groom “doing life together” framed on the reception tables and a story of what you were doing when you took the photo; simulcasting your ceremony live over the internet to family and friends who are unable to attend; and among many other personalization options you could hire a photographer who runs a slideshow of photos during the reception that were taken during the “getting ready” process and ceremony.

How you accessorize yourself is another way to reflect your personal style – many brides in 2010 are using vibrant colored shoes, jewelry and hair pieces such as vintage bird cages to accent their gowns.

Autumn Wedding Ideas – Pumpkins, Leaves, Bright Colors and Cider

Heather — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:09:10 +0000

Autumn is here in full force – cool crisp mornings, leaves changing into bright beautiful colors, pumpkins littering doorsteps, corn mazes, and hot apple cider. Fall is my favorite season – so much so that my entire home is decorated with fall colors – red, green, yellow, orange, eggplant, brown and black. If you are planning a wedding that falls during this season, you are fortunate to have such a beautiful assortment of seasonal colors to choose from. Here are a few ideas of how to incorporate ‘fall themed’ décor into your wedding.

One of my favorite new ideas this season is from Martha Stewart – glittered pumpkins! This would be relatively easy to make on your own with real pumpkins and squash, or you can buy them pre-made from Martha’s website. If you make your own, I would recommend using tacky glue or spray glue and clear or iridescent glitter. Even better is spray paint or spray glitter!

Placing a few leaf votive candle holders on each guest table around your centerpiece will shimmer, reflecting shadows on the table cloths when the lights are dim. Utilize seasonal flowers, berries and branches as a centerpiece to each guest table. Not every centerpiece needs to look the same either! You can make each one unique by using a different vase, varying height of the arrangements, having clusters of small arrangements at some tables but a single large arrangement at others, and utilizing different varieties of flowers, leaves and berries for each arrangement.

Top off your autumn themed wedding by serving hot spiced cider served with a slice of Carrot or Spice wedding cake smothered in Butter cream frosting. As a wedding favor for your guests, create small packets of mulling spices and provide instructions for making their own spiced cider at home.
