To make your own invitation you can go to buy your materials in an arts and crafts store. You can also browse in the Internet for some ideas to make your personalize wedding invitations. Some computer program exists also to help you with personalizing your invitation. They provide you with wedding invitation templates and font so you can start with your invitations. In buying the papers you would use, choose the ones, which compliments each other to make it more pleasing to the eye and the ones that would go together with your wedding theme. Be as creative as you can be. Have your themes that would best exemplify and express your personalities and what you have experience as a couple. In making your invitations, it would be like telling the whole world your love story. Remember that it is the first impression of your wedding day.

Invitations to your wedding need not be expensive. It would just take time and a bit of research and creativity on your part they your set to go to make and send out invitations to your perfect wedding day.

Beautiful seashells make wonderful decorations for a summer wedding. They are marvelous for a nautical wedding, a beach wedding, or anytime that you want to bring the flavor the ocean to your wedding. Take a look at the myriad of ways to use seashell wedding decorations for your own special day.

Certainly any wedding motif begins with the invitations. While not exactly a decoration, they are the perfect way to set the stage for your event. For a very classic ceremony, a white heavy cotton invitation embossed with a pearlized white seashell is the perfect invitation. Choose a coordinating envelope lining pattered with classic illustrations of shells in either a blue and white palette or in neutral sand tones. For a less formal wedding by the water, select an ivory invitation with shells painted in a watercolor style. They look great as a design in one corner of the paper as a great little accent and dash of personality.

When your guests arrive at your wedding reception, there are a few cute ways to welcome them with decorative shells. A beautiful shell can be glued to each escort card. Use a variety of different shells, and lay them all out flat in nice rows. The effect is very pretty, and as a bonus, the weight of the shells will keep your escort cards anchored should a breeze come along. Another idea is to use place card holders with a silver shell motif for a formal wedding. They would work equally well for the escort cards or the place cards.

On the dinner tables, there are lots of great ways to wow your guests with shells. Martha Stewart has a wonderfully unique craft project for using large clean shells as salt and pepper caddies on the tables. Then of course, there are the centerpieces. You can opt for a traditional floral arrangement, and add a scattering of seashells among the blooms. Another idea is to design a shell based centerpiece. Take a number of large shells in different forms and combine with red faux coral, large pillar candles, and a bit of sand on a tray. This is a fun diy project that also looks fantastic.

Let’s not forget about decorating the bride. Try beach theme wedding jewelry made from stunning Swarovski crystals in the shape of seashells. Or choose wedding jewelry which is created from genuine shells for your beach wedding, such as a monogrammed pendant made from a flat piece of shell. So pretty and so unique. The bouquet can be decorated just like the centerpieces, with small seashells wired into the flowers. For a bold accent, create a cuff of large translucent capiz shell discs around your flowers. It is very offbeat and perfect for an oceanside ceremony.

Certainly, your wedding cake should also be adorned with your chosen motif. You can have the baker decorate with real clean shells (be sure to remove before serving!) or create them from sugar or fondant. A dusting of pearlescent shimmer powder will give the faux shells a natural luminosity. This is one cake that might end up too pretty to cut!

From napkin rings to cocktail picks, there is almost no limit to the ways you can use a shell motif to decorate your wedding. It is a timeless
summer motif with a classic elegance that will never go out of style. Whether your wedding will be at ocean’s edge or in a landlocked location, you cannot go wrong with this wonderful summer motif.

A winter wedding is usually considered a romantic one. It should probably be a white wedding at the same time. In fact, you will need to have some extra considerations if you choose this as your theme.

Of course you will want to make sure that your every decision will be made upon the idea of winter. To this end you are trying to use the theme to unify all your designs for the wedding. For example, you may create your decorations with a lot of snow flake. On the other hand, you may also purchase some miniatures of a snowman as your wedding favor. There are a lot of choices in order to make every item to match your theme.

When your wedding invitation is concerned, you should also design it so that it will match the idea of being in the winter. You will need to consider a lot of practical issues when you are designing the card.

You will need to think about the number of guests. In fact, it does not only affect your choice of invitation. It will also affect your choices on the wedding favor, venue, and so one. As a result, you will need to estimate the number of guests who will attend your wedding before you make any decisions.

After your have estimated the number of guests you are going to invite, you will start thinking about the style of the cards. Of course you will be trying to search for cards which will match your idea of winter. Again, the idea of snowflakes can be used for your invitation card. You will be printing some snowflakes on your card. You may also print a snowman on your card. In most cases you will adapt the idea of white color so that you can deliver a feeling of being in the winter when your guests see the card.

If you are going to have your wedding on the Christmas night, you may even print a Santa Clause on the invitation card. However, you should be very careful when you are designing the card. You have to make sure that your guests will not think that they have received a Christmas card when they see your wedding invitation.

After you have finished your wedding invitation, you will have to send them out. In most cases, you will need to send them at least 12 weeks before your wedding. Of course you may also want to give your guests a call before you send your invitations. You are doing this to make sure that your guests will know that you are going to get married soon!

One last thing is that, you may need to spend some time to create your winter wedding invitation. As a result, you should try to search for the wedding cards as early as possible. If you are planning to work with a designer, you will need to make sure that the designer knows your schedule so that you can have your invitation sent on time!

Planning a wedding requires many small and large decisions. There are many decisions that make a wedding reflect your style. Where do you start?!

Define your style:
The first decision is to spend some quality time looking at your home, your car, how you dress, what you do for fun, your job, the colors you love. Many times these factors can help you realize what your collective style is. There is no right or wrong answer. The more honest you can be with yourselves, the quicker it will help you develop a clear idea for the type of Chicago wedding you envision. This first step will help you make all your decisions much easier.

Some couples want the best of everything with 400 guests at a swanky downtown hotel; while others may want just a fun party at a nice hotel in the suburbs.

Many couples never do this and end up letting their budget dictate what they choose. As a result, they sometimes have an uneven wedding: Great venues, bad band, great flowers, average food. Always buy the best quality you can afford that fits into your overall budget.

Establish Your Priorities:
-What’s most important to each one of you? This will help you determine how to divide your wedding budget so you both get what you want and have the funds set aside to do so.

Your Chicago wedding should only include the People, Music, Food, Flowers and Colors you love.

Here are some other ideas:
Think about the best weddings you’ve been to. What did you enjoy about them?
-Think about the worst Chicago wedding you’ve ever been to. What did you hate about them?
-Ask your married friend, “If you could do it over again what would you have changed?”
-Look through wedding websites and magazines, what do you love or hate? The more specific you can be the better.
-Make sure any ideas that worked well for others fits YOUR style. That’s all that matters.

Other factors to consider:
Your Age
Your Ethnicity and traditions
Your Family Size
Your First or Second Marriage
Your Number of Guests

Start with the Big Decisions:

1. The Bride and Groom:

You found each other. That’s the biggest decision. So give yourself some credit!

2. The Date:

What time of the year would you like to get married?
Do you want a Saturday Night Chicago Wedding?
Or a Sunday or Friday Wedding?
You can many times get better quality vendors for a discount for non-Saturday weddings? The same applies for January through March wedding.

3. The Venue:
Estimate how many guests you are planning on inviting.
Eliminate venues that are too small or too large.
Do you want a downtown hotel or one in the suburbs?
Think about if you have many out of state guests that may need accommodations. Can the hotel accommodate that number of guests?
Is your wedding ceremony going to be at the same venue or at a separate Church?
How far away is the church from the venue?

4. The Food:
- If your venue doesn’t have in-house Chicago catering , you will need to secure an outside catering company. Many times the venue will have a select list of preferred companies they work with. I suggest using their recommendations, it will make the wedding run much more smoothly. The company will know the load-in information, the facilities, the layout of the room. It will make service that’s much easier and quicker for you and your guests.

5. The Music
Picture yourself 2 years from now. Your friends are all gathering for a Summertime BBQ. Your friend says, “We had the best time at your wedding, your flowers were so beautiful.” That means that you had a boring wedding. What they should say is, “We had the best time at your wedding, your band was awesome! We were dancing all night.” The quality of your music is what people are going to remember.
Think about what styles of music you love.
Think about the age of your guests
Think about if you have a song that is YOURS.

There’s nothing worse than spending top dollar for a great venue, delicious food, and have to settle for a lousy band or even worse, a DJ. All the other wonderful aspects of your Chicago wedding will quickly be forgotten.

Find a music company that is flexible and experienced enough to perform the songs that you love.

6. The Dress

Like all the decisions you’ll be making, the dress should say something about you and who you are as a bride. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Take the feedback of your family and friends, but ultimately you will be the one wearing the dress on the biggest day of your life. How do you feel when you are wearing each dress? If you feel like it’s a perfect extension of you then you may have found the dress for you.

7. The Flowers

Flowers have been described as “Nature’s way of smiling”. Chicago Florists are far more sophisticated than years ago. The best florists are truly artists. Communicate the style, colors and table size for your wedding. They will be able to give you several beautiful examples to choose from.

8. The Photographer

There are many excellent Chicago photographers with a variety of styles. Some use an older style with pull down screens for portraits and photos of guests at each table. Others use a more real life style. They act more like guests at the wedding that happen to be taking a lot of photos. You and your guests just act naturally. Websites can be a great resource for seeing their work. After you visit their website and review their sample work on their site, I recommend setting up a meeting with them. The personality of the photographer is important. He will be with you for 10 hours on your wedding day as well as for years after your Chicago wedding. Find someone that is flexible, professional and easy to work with. Remember, it’s your wedding.

9. The Videographer

Just like Chicago photographers, there are many talented Chicago videographers to choose from. They all have different styles. Some use multiple cameras, some shoot in HD. Obviously you’ll want to see as much of their work as you can. If they have referrals, ask for them. The quality of their equipment, usually but not always, indicates their level of commitment to their craft. Ask them what their turn around time is for a completed DVD. For both your Photographer and Videographer, they should be experienced and will guide you through the planning process. Let them know what your preferences are. For example, “Aunt Louise and Uncle Henry are celebrating their 50th anniversary that same day. I’d like a photo of the four of us.”

10. The Additional Services

This category includes Chicago transportation companies, linens, wedding favors, table, chair rentals among many other smaller decisions. Just keep in mind, do they fit my style and my budget?

There is nothing quite as beautiful as a glowing bride walking down the aisle surrounded by gorgeous wedding ceremony flowers. The best part is if the bride chooses to she can make any flower in any color she wants using crepe paper. Making your own wedding ceremony flowers is easy. All you need is a book preferably one for making wedding flowers. This type of book allows you to see the finished floral arrangement so you have a visual aid as well as instructions.

You have two main areas to decorate for the ceremony; the isle and the church alter. When decorating the isle most brides chose to attach flowers to the ends of the pews either on the isle side or on both sides that decision is up to you. The flowers on the outside will not be seen in any of your photographs so the decision to place them there are strictly for your guests benefit. If you have the time and the extra little bit of cash it is a nice added touch.

The church alter is the second place you will want to decorate. How you decorate the church alter for your wedding is entirely up to. Many brides decide to go with simple floral boutiques and others opt to use huge standing floral arrangements. To decorate the pews you can choose from a single crepe paper flower to a small bouquet of flowers or any number of flowers in between. For a single, double or triple floral arrangement you will want some babies’ breath to place in back of the selected number of flowers, a piece of ribbon to tie them together and maybe even a bow. You can attach them to the pew using a piece of floral wire just be sure to cover it with floral tape so no one cuts their fingers on the wire.

On the church alter you can put a few of the small to medium size bouquets or centerpieces and place them on the alter table along side of your unity candles or any other item you have on the church alter itself. You can also make tall floral arrangements and place one at each end of the church alter or you can make as many as you want and place them where you want too. If there are stairs before you get to the church alter many brides place this type of arrangement one on each side of a step or on each step. It is really up to the bride. For more ideas on types and where to place wedding ceremony flowers you can flip through any bridal magazine to get ideas.

First on the list of things to consider is whether you are having a formal wedding or more of an informal one. If you are having a formal night time wedding then you definitely do not want to send out an informal invitation. Also if you are having an informal wedding then you would not want to send out a very formal wedding invitation. Try and match the style of your invitation to the style of your wedding.

Considering your personal style and the style of your wedding is also important when you are choosing wedding invitations. You may want to consider using one of your wedding colors for the color of your wedding invitations. Perhaps you are having a wedding in which pink and black are your colors. Carrying the pink and black over to your invitations is a great way to give your guests a hint at what your wedding may be like. While you do not have to match your invitations to your wedding colors, this does look classy.

Keeping in mind the formality of the wedding, the colors and style, and the theme of your wedding can all help you to pick out the invitations that are just right for your wedding. Having a well designed wedding invitation will impress your guests and be a great way to invite them to one of the biggest events in your life.

One of the important decisions that would influence how enjoyable the honeymoon would be is the choice of the honeymoon resort. A honeymoon resort should actually reflect the tastes and preferences of both the partners and of course, keeping the budget in mind. There are many honeymoon resorts that suit the taste of the couple and that fit into the budget of all ranges. A honeymoon resort should be the one that guarantees that the couples are free of all the tension and worries and simply think of nothing but the life that lies ahead of them. The honeymoon resort must make the couple feel that the honeymoon vacation is simply magic filled and is memorable and also romantic.

The honeymoon resort must be as comfortable as their home and more than that. Basically, a honeymoon resort has most comfortable and beautiful suites that provide sleeping, dressing, bathing and lounging areas. Some resorts may have large indoor spa, walking double shower, and double vanity with good furniture. Resorts also take care of the outdoor activities of the couple including deep sea fishing, scuba diving, horse back riding on the beach, sunset cruise, sailing, snorkeling wind surfing, and many more.

To make the trip more enjoyable and affordable, some honeymoon resorts offer easy monthly payment plan so that the couple need not bring in large amount of money. If the couple plans to travel out of the county to a honeymoon resort, then arrangements have to be made with a professional travel agent because they may not know the travel laws and customs of that country. A professional travel agent would take care of all these arrangements and guide on the paper work to travel out of a country which are all essential while staying in a honeymoon resort out of the country.

Also, while choosing a honeymoon resort the other points to be considered are how far the resort is from the airport, what main attractions are around and what type of transportation is available. Honeymoon resorts do have travel consultants whose main aim is to make the couple enjoy the honeymoon and get rid of all the tension and worries that always accompanies any travel. The resorts offer the best honeymoon packages, booking and reservation service and all inclusive honeymoon resorts.
