1. Chose theme that is appropriate to your wedding. If it's summer wedding, try to draw some inspiration from beaches, sand, and seashells; however if it's  rainy season,  it can be inspired by damp places that give impression of rain days and any other designs that relate to wet season like you can use umbrellas as favors.

2. Search for wedding favors that is fitted to your theme. For example if you're going to have a beach wedding theme why not serve a lemonade mix that is wonderfully refreshing way to decorate the reception tables. You can use flowering plants for a garden wedding theme. Wedding favor is always depending on the wedding theme.

3. You can separate the favors according to the items. You can put it in around the cake; spread them out around the reception area as they can serve as decorations at the same time, like the name card and candles.

 4. Arrange the wedding favors in a nice basket or decorative boxed and for the small items put them in a nice decorative bags.

 

Remember your bridesmaids can be your friends, sisters or relatives and not back up singers of yours. They deserve to be different from each other. So, instead of dressing them in very the same way and style. Try to let them choose their own style but still keeping with the  theme and the color you prefer for your the wedding. In this way, they will be more happy with this, since they can use again the dress in different occasions without fearing that they

My other suggestion is, instead of giving them the same gifts. Why not give them gifts inspired by their interests, hobbies or what they really need but within your budget.

With these few suggestions and inspirations, I hope this will give  some nice ideas to  the bride-to-be out there in planning their wedding.

In planning a wedding one of the important details to consider is the color because it can add romance and  character to your special day. When choosing your wedding colors, you are giving the entire event with a certain atmosphere which reflects to your personality.

Therefore, when you are planning about the theme  for the wedding, consider  your personality and which season. Like spring time can use light and pastel colors, summer suggest bright , warm and bold colors while autumn season suggest warm and homey color. Lastly winter wedding, this season is beautiful,it is very colorful using bright and lively colors.  While you can also consult the the meaning behind individual colors you are considering to use.

After deciding which color you are using, you can consider if you're using monochromatic wedding color or two different contrasting colors what harmonize with each other. Again use the color wheel of the color palettes for safer choices, in addition to that you can also ask your wedding planner for some suggestions.
 

With curiosity in mind, I researched about these fun and cute novelty items and read on the history behind this. Luckily, I found something that I can share to you.

History of Salt and Pepper Shakers

Salt and Pepper Shakers have a long and rich history. Before salt and pepper shakers as we know them today, people in the Victorian era placed their salt in open cellars. Salt came in rock form, and it had to be chipped off to be put on food.

Early salt shakers were actually salt mills. They contained a piece inside the shaker that broke the salt into pieces. This feature may also be found in some salt shakers now.

As salt production improved, salt shakers no longer needed the arm to break the salt up. Salt shakers began to take their more modern form. The production of salt and pepper shakers  started off took off in the 1940's when the modern ceramics begun.

With further research I have made, I concluded that to make delicious  and delectable dishes. Salt and pepper will be always included. You can't only use salt without pepper or vice versa. They are the perfect pair just like in marriage. One should find the perfect match for them.

Here are some inspirations that can be use as favors and additions to your collection.

The date is chosen by the groom because it's a Valentine's Day, which most of us know that this is also called the lovers day for the romantic ones. In addition, to that this date is the birthday of the bride-to-be. Since I love hearts and I love red, this wedding excites me so much. The couple is going to use red and hearts as their wedding theme.

They will use this heart shape glass cake topper.

Bride's-to-be flower boquet is inspired by this photo. It is made of red roses and deep red calla lily, great combination.

Wedding invitations are inspired by this and ordered via online webstore.

 Since the couple love wine, they will be giving away this bottle stopper as wedding favors.

How sweet it is to walk down the aisle on your birthday and the man standing at the end of the aisle waiting for you is the man  of your dreams.

I love my coffee every morning. Nothing can compare to it's great aroma that wake up my senses. Anyway, I have to finish my coffee and get myself ready.  I am attending Sarah's wedding, she calls her wedding ' Wedding @ Breakfast". Since the wedding ceremony's time will start at eight in the morning, and the menu for the reception are consisted mainly of breakfast food. Having wedding at early morning the couple can save a lot.

Found some great favor ideas... 

So now, I am so inspired to work on  collecting some ideas and inspirations for upcoming weddings and I collected some photos for spring wedding theme. Spring really is full of diverse colors, all possible hues that I can think of.

I still need to research more ideas and suggestions. Happy planning to me!

In weddings, the  ceremony is the main event. This is the time where the couple will profess their love and vows. Therefore, it has to be done right!.
 
 Here are some tips and things to consider in planning the ceremony:

• The Wedding Ceremony: You have the options what ceremony will take place. It can be religious or civil. If you are choosing the religious set-up,  make sure you know and consider the different religious traditions.
• The Location or Venue: It can be held in a church, garden, by the beach or any appropriate venue you choose.
• The Guests: There are some instance when the guests you invited  in the reception is not necessarily have to be invited to the ceremony, but of course guests present in the ceremony should be invited to the the wedding reception. Who will you include on the lists? Will they be immediate family and closest friends or everyone.
• The Wedding Rituals: You have to list down all of the things and details you want to take in the ceremony. These will include if not all : wedding vows and rings, unity rituals, marriage contract, offerings, ritual readings and some other things that are required if you choose the religious set-up.
• The Wedding Party: Determine how may people do you  want to stand up with you. Take note, if you are going to have small group of guests, it will be a little bit odd if almost half of the people will stand up with you .
• The Entourage: Choose the people who are close to you aside from your family of course. See to it that they really know you and can commit their attendance to the wedding.

 So when I went to my room, like a child I can't wait look what were inside the bag.  I spilled all the contents of the bag on my bed. Then there I found maps of the cities, brochures, list of local restaurants, list of places to see and they include also list of numbers to call in case of emergency which I find really very helpful to someone like me who is just new in the city.

They also include some treats like cookies, chips, nuts, bottled water with sticker label of their names. In adddtions to that the bag also contained some  cute items that are locally manufactured in the city. Like they include this nice smelling and very invigorating Alterra coffee, which  they put it in a personalized small coffee package.

Then they put two cans of beer, which locally brewed in Milwaukee.

And of course it's not Wisconsin without cheese. Since I am a cheese fanatic, this was the one that  really caught my attention.

This out of town bag was really cool. It makes us out-of-town guests feel welcome and our attendance was highly appreciated by the couple. For me, this should be a common practice for out-of-town weddings, to show how grateful the couple is to the out-of-town guests who took time out and gave extra effort to attend the event. 

When I was planning my sister's wedding and I am still a newbie in wedding planning world. There were some details I really researched about weddings. I even asked my mother's idead and she told me  that in every wedding there is this one practice that at least should be followed by the couple especially by the bride, and  that is what she called. "something" tradition. Here what she has told me, there should be:

Something Old

Which represents the life the couples are leaving behind while maintaining the connection from past to their new life. These can be any old stuff from your parents or grandparents, or better the bride's or groom's mother wedding gown or any jewelry from the family heirlooms.

Something New

This one convey new hope and affirmation. It is so easy to have these items, because majority of the details and items you will use in the wedding are new or customized.

 Something Borrowed

Borrowing from someone is not that difficult to do, but my mom said, the couple should borrow something from someone who is jovial or living a blissful life. For the reason that it is like borrowing happiness, so that their happiness will pass on to the couple.

Something Blue

The color is a symbol of good luck, fidelity, purity and loyalty. Finding an item in this color is also not difficult. Blue handkerchief, blue wedding garter or blue small accessories are some of the few items can be considered.

In this modern time,  photography  has come of age. Gone are the days of the Polaroid’s and cameras that uses film. Almost all of us are already using the digital camera. We use it in every events and one of those events or special occasions that take advantage of digital picture taking is the wedding. The photographer can take pictures of the couple as long as his memory card and battery lasts. 

The couple even  have this engagement photo shoot before the wedding. In line with this, the couple has the time to prepare  and familiarize themselves to be  comfortable in picture taking on their wedding day, plus get rid of their “camera shy attitude"

I made some suggestions for the couples's wedding engagement photo shoot. The couple should prepare at least three best clothes ; formal dress, casual dress and identical clothes or uniform colored shirts which looks very cute.  Afterward, these photographs, can be use for the couple's website wedding announcer, their onsite wedding reception audio visual presentations and even on their wedding favors.

Here are some more inspirations, in where to use the pictures:

They can be use for invitations, save the date cards, signature photo frame, guests album favors, place card holder mini albums, personalized guest book and glass coasters.

In addtion to that ideas here are the some other ways; glass photo vase for the table at the reception, cake topper, photo keep sake box, personalized cuff links, lockets  and photo frame favors

.

Yesterday I was browsing the internet looking for birdhouse that I am planning to use for my next wedding event I am handling. As I browse I found these cute lovely birds, actually they are called lovebirds. I was so curious why they are called love birds and always associted with couples.

This is what I learned about them, a Lovebird is in fact a tiny parrot, from the African continent and Madagascar. They are a social and affectionate small parrot.

In Celtic mythology, Aengus, the god of love, was seen with four tiny lovebirds flying around his head Their name stems from the parrots' strong, monogamous pair bonding and the long periods in which paired birds will spend sitting together. 

Until European explorers wrote about them in their journals. The explorers described the brightly coloured birds that they had seen on their travels and people wanted to know more about them. The love birds were imported into Europe and became very popular as wedding gifts because of the loving ways of the lovebirds.

Nowadays using lovebirds as gifts is not that popular anymore, but  intstead using lovebird inspired wedding theme is very popular.  Here are some suggested wedding favors instead, that captures the essence of lovebirds.

Doesn't that make the "Lovebirds" Chrome Bottle Stopper a naturally sublime favor for people in love?  Perched-lovebird bottle stopper is made of solid chrome, with a notable weight and quality bottle stopper .Clear gift-box design surrounds the lovebird with a clever, cutout tree bursting with heart-shaped leaves; the base is white with a square, soft-green graphic in front that says Lovebirds Chrome Bottle Stopper between two delicate, brown branches, and on top of the box is a white-sating bow and a matching "For You" tag Gift box

And this finely crafted in white porcelain, these modern and romantic salt and pepper shakers make adorable favors for weddings. The exquisite packaging features a pullout box with the two Love Birds comfortably nesting inside. Die cut openings in the box cover allows a small peek into the interior. For added charm, personalize this gift using the versatile Love Bird Paper Band.

Plus these items below that goes well with the Lovebird Theme Wedding. Love Birds book registry,  pen with base, flower girl basket and garter.

While in this photo there are an array of Lovebirds Theme items  to choose from.

1. Love Birds Cling which can be used on any glass surface. It is a great way to personalize the newly wed get-away car in a sophisticated manner. Also plan to use these on the windows of church doors or reception halls to help guide the guests

2. Love Birds Sticker add instant personality to small tins, favor containers, or even envelopes.

3. Even table numbers can be used to enhance the Love Bird theme. This charming design is suitable for wedding receptions.

4. This blank note card can be used in any number of ways to help develop a Love Bird theme.

5. This delightful Save the Date card will give your guests a small preview of the sentiment that will guide the planning for the main event.

6. This miniature favor/gift  tag with a Love Bird theme will add instant charm to any favor, decorating item, take-away gift or other wedding accessories.

7. This Love Bird Water Bottle Label Sticker will add instant charm.

And this fairy tale is happening to someone who have believed and found her Prince Charming. Ayha to her friends with her soon to be husband Leih, is busy preparing for almost 9 months now, for their dream Fairy Tale wedding. They're wedding theme caught my attend so I captured some of the photos and reveal some of the details that kept them pre-occupied in their wedding announcement website.

 

In this photo includes: the couple's wedding announcement website, wedding invitation, mock up table arrangement for  the reception and the candle favor that will be lighten on the table during dinner. Their wedding motiff will use lavender, purple and pink colors.

The bride will be riding this very royal like beautiful carriage ,which will bring her  to the church.  She will be like a real princess on this. While the church will be  this enchanting lduring the wedding ceremony.

A carriage inspired candy mint box which will be given to the guest, a kissing bell and since not everyone is aware of what is a kissing bell, they decided to put a small cards with this note, on it. And with these wedding place card holder  certainly add to the allure.

Then the special wedding candle favors for their guests to bring home.



Lastly, she shared what she will wear on her wedding day.  The diamond engagement ring that is similar to this one , a custom made clear polyethylene bridal shoes to give her shoes the look of a glass shoes, her tiara  that will give her a complete look of a princess. She will be using this necklace jewelry set but in lavender color and her astonishing wedding gown adorned with semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals inspired by this one.

To add on these, I will give her a compact mirror with crown design on it. I'm sure she will be needing this from time to time during the wedding for some quick fix and retouch.

With all of these preparations, I am very sure she will be a bride princess with her prince charming, and their fairy tale wedding will be breathtaking and magical.

Jordan almonds are use as wedding favors because of it's cultural meaning particulary in Italian, Greek and Middle Eastern Wedding and later on adopted by Western culture.  Fresh almonds have bitter-sweet taste, which signify life, white the sugar coating is added with faith that the newlywed's life will be more sweet than bitter. Before they use only white sugar coating for the nuts but now they come in different colors.

Here some exercepts from where I researched:

 Tradition suggests using five Jordan Almonds for each guest. One to signify health, one for wealth, one for longevity, one for fertility and one for happiness.

Different cultural meaning in different countries:

ITALIAN WEDDINGS Five almonds signify five wishes for the bride and groom: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. These almonds decorate each place setting as favors, tucked into pretty boxes or tulle bags called *bomboniere* that are often personalized with the couple's names and wedding date.

GREEK WEDDINGS Sugarcoated almonds in traditional Greek weddings are called *koufeta*. They are placed in little bags in odd numbers and are served on a silver tray. Odd numbers are indivisible, symbolizing how the newlyweds will share everything and remain undivided. Tradition holds that if an unmarried woman puts the almonds under her pillow, she'll dream of her future husband.

MIDDLE EASTERN WEDDINGS Candy-covered almonds, considered aphrodisiacs, are always on hand.

When using the almonds as wedding favors consider using this Jordan Almonds poem and print it on give  tag

Jordan Almonds for Thee

Five sugared almonds for each guest to eat
To remind us that life is both bitter and sweet.
Five wishes for the new husband and wife --
Health, wealth, happiness, children, and a long life!
by Jill Girardo

Let me tell you about the first wedding that will happen on February, I am pretty execited  about this since it will be my first wedding event with a Japanese theme. The bride's name is Aiko, she is half-japanese but was born and raise in the west. She haven't visited Japan yet nor  speak the language. Therefore, for her up coming wedding she opted to have a  Japanese inspired wedding . It  will not follow the tradtion of Japanese wedding but she wanted her wedding to show her roots and her culture. As  usual,  for presentation purposes, I have collected some photos for her to choose from and give her some wonderful ideas.

To start with her wedding gown, if she wanted, she can wear the usual white wedding gown, though I suggested to her that she can stay away a bit from it and try some new designs with her dress. Since it would not be a traditional Japanese wedding, she could at least adopt some accents from a japanese wedding gown to her own  and even for her bridesmaids' dresses.

For  wedding ceremony, I got her these items from "the cherry blossom collection". Which are suited for the wedding; it has a ring pillow, pen set and flower girl basket. These items are all made of refined white linen that has been skillfully silk-screened with a design of sweeping branches of delicate cherry blossoms. The hand painted effect is further enhanced wih a romantic signature that makes use of the traditional Japanese character, when translated, means Love.

Wedding reception is of course is not an exception from the theme. The cherry blossoms vellum wine glass shade  will be perfect as a lovely table decor that brings an ambience of elegance. And then what is a wedding dinner without  wine to celebrate the couple's union, thus this unique wedding toasting flutes in a vase is also perfect. While the glass coaster can be use at the dining table during the wedding reception.

 Capture the special moments that are often missed by having these cameras on hand at their festivities. The guests should be invited to snap photos throughout the celebration. Group multiple cameras on a table that is easy to access or set a single camera on each table alongside the centerpiece.

Delicate natural hand fans with detailed cherry blossom print with bamboo rib, are a beautiful favor idea. They are also very useful if the temperature goes up. Personalize them with a cherry blossom sticker along the rib.

Lastly, these "cherry blossom stationery collection" is a wonderful ideas. The collection includes; distinctive window cling, table number card, wedding bulletin, save the date card, favor gift tag and water bottle sticker.

 Omedetou!

(best wishes)

I just finished watching MAMA MIA the movie and I have watched it for the nth time . I fell in love with the location which I later found out that it is in Skopelos, Greece. What a beautiful wedding set-up.Perfect for romantic wedding in Greece.

How I really do love the sceneries, the simple but very chic wedding gown which almost all bride-to-be I know wanted theirs to be patterned in Sophie's gown. I love how her hair  that was simply done, no hundreds of bobby pins nor her face was not fully made up. which makes her face looks more natural and refreshing. The mom's dress here is nicely done too!. But it would be unfair if I won't mention the reception, I like how they prepare the place with all those nice lights hanging low and creates cozy and romantic mood.

However, when a friend of mine invited me to her wedding. I saw this cute place card holder with my full name written on it. Oh my! I cannot explain exactly how I feel whent  I saw that, it's like I am a VIP . After that I never look at a placecard holder the same way again. So, I thought of researching for some cute and adorable placecard holders for some  bright ideas that I can use at the next wedding event I will be handling.

For a fall wedding theme, these fall leaf placecard holders are an option.

These two that I found are just in time for the wedding of my friend this holiday season. (Favors inspired by Christmas holiday)

Of course when winter  is over, it's nice to have a wedding ceremony during spring time. It's like a new start and a new begging just like in getting married with a new life together.

Summer is a suggested theme for those couples who loves the beach. The palm tree  and  flip flops place card holders are  good choices.

However, if the couple is not considering seasonal wedding themes,then bride and groom place card holder is best suited for formal wedding reception. Or if it's wine theme wedding, this grapes place card holder is a great idea. Or how about this heart shaped place card holder for Valentne's day theme. The shamrock/trinity love knot place card holder cannot go wrong for St. Patrick's Day Theme.

Lastly, if there are children guests, then for sure, the kids would love these cupcake place card holders.

We had a nice dinner at one of Elise's favorite restaurant. She didn't ask of any gift from us, just wanted our love and support. She gave us some bridal shower favors that were so useful and practical for us. I really loved those favors.

She gave each of us a lavender circle friendship bracelet, just like this one with an engrave pendant.
 

 She also gave this five-piece manicure set. I will definitely use this.

Lastly, this one was everyone's favorite, the handbag hanger or sometimes called purse valet. A very practical way to park your purse if you're in restaurants, meetings, or any other occassions

Here are some tips  to make the wedding unique:

1. Decide on the theme of the wedding.

2. Choose the colors that best suit the couple, or better, their favorite color or colors. Color combinations are common nowadays.

3. Stick with the theme and colors  throughout the wedding, from invitations to decoration.

Here is an example of Blue and White wedding:  

It is important to remember to maintain the same color theme for Save the date cards, invitations,  table numbers, cake, and wedding favors etc. This makes wedding unique with a personality. Also, having a wedding website completes your wedding theme.   

I recently attended a family friend wedding, which happened with only 3 weeks of planning and preparation. When I look at this couple, there is a mystery of love.  As love possibilities are infinite, the chemistry between the bride and groom is a perfect example.

First,  the guy is a member of a rock band group, long hair with tattoos on his arms. The girl is a sweet girl, very refined and looked like she can't even harm a fly. However, when I saw them together, how the guy  could make the girl smile, and how he looked at her fondly. I must admit, they will be together forever.

Their wedding color theme was Black and Red. The bride was in a whitewedding dress, accentuated with a black waistband which looked elegant, and her bouquet was made of red roses. Actually, only red roses were used throughout the whole wedding event. The entire entourage and wedding guests were all wearing dresses in that color.

They also used black and red colors on their invitations, accessories both for the bride and groom, wedding ceremony and wedding reception.  

Best wishes to the newly wed couple!

Every time I attended a wedding, I never failed to take a picture or at least never missed looking at the cake up close and personal. They look so nice and yummy to eat.

 The history of the Wedding cake goes back as far as the Roman Empire, but of course elaborate cake icing was not yet invented.

In earlier days, wedding cakes were expected to be white. Since white constantly denote purity and innocence. Another way in which a white wedding cake relates to the symbol of purity, is  the fact that the wedding cake was originally referred to as a bride’s cake. This emphasized the bride as the central figure of the wedding and made a linkage between the bride and the cake.

 Another reason why wedding cakes were white then, is not because of symbolism. It’s for the reason that ingredients were very difficult to find, especially those required for icing. White icing required the use of the only finest refined sugar, it means the whiter the cake, the more wealthy the families appeared.

 However, as wedding cakes has evolved, they now come in different colors, shapes and design. Which also shows how modern the brides are now.

The best thing is even using cake as a design idea for wedding favors or any other favors for all occasions. What an exceptional thing to do. Just like these cute favors.

Everytime I'm feeling blue, I always sing this song inside my head. Because it reminds me of my childhood, playing tea party with my friends and dolls. Wearing our cute little hats. Pretending we were talking and giggling with our hand covering partly our mouth. Drinking our tea (instant sweet tea) with our little fingers sticking out .   Mom used to bake mini cupcakes for us to make our cute little tea party complete. Her carrot cupcake is a sure hit with lots of walnuts in it  yummmyyyy!!!

Hmmm this gives me an idea, I'm organizing a bridal shower for a friend in 3 weeks time. And I'm still short of an idea for the theme. I wanted it to be a different one, not the usual naughty bridal shower party that I attended. Well, why not a "Tea Party", just like our good old tea party. . And then  I found these favors for the party which I'm sure my friends will love.

 let's get it on girlfriends!!!!

Many of us use candle for occassions and celebrations, because it symbolizes so many things such as romance , traditions, commitment,  beacon and offering.
 

One of those celebrations that uses candle is wedding, the celebration of love, commitment and offering of each others' life.
 

First, we use it as Unity Candle for the wedding ceremony which symbolizes the union of two hearts, two families and a lifetime commitment.

Secondly, as a wedding favor to the guests which represents appreciation for their presence in witnessing this celebration of two hearts in love.

 "this candle symbolizes that true love is a sacred flame that burns eternally "

A  friend of mine is getting married and seeks my opinion. She asked if it's nicer to have their wedding during this month and  I said of course it is!. It's a season that rich in warm colors, which means the wedding will be colorful and alive. Even the chance for great pictures set against  brilliant  autumn  foliage, oh my! how I love autumn. The summer has just ended and the temperature is cooler but not too cold, just perfect! .I wanted to call it a wedding in autumn or fall. ( though I prefer using the autumn word ).Their wedding can wear autumn colors. Incorporate fall accents into every elements of  their wedding ceremony and wedding reception. I told her that they can hold their wedding reception or party outside and even hold their wedding ceremony there at the same time. By doing this, she and her husband -to -be can save not only from their budget but also save themselves, their  families and guests from the hassle of driving from one place to another, what an excellent idea. I suggest these ideas and details that they can incorporate or use on their wedding.

They can bring natural elements to all of their fall wedding decorations. At the wedding reception, have place card holders with fall theme.

During dining they can use coasters with fall leaf designs on it, which makes the dining table more personalized.

The  toast of  the bride and groom is a   precious moment . Use an autumn inspired wine toasting flutes  set with fall leaves on the base to toast to infinite love. These lovely glasses can be used every year to celebrate their  wedding anniversary.

Well,  after discussing all of these to her and her husband-to-be,  guess what???.... They have asked me to be their wedding planner! yey! I'm so excited .  I promise to my friend that she will have a  memorable and lovely wedding  day.

I wonder why girls are so fascinated by shoes. Girls can't  resist the urge to look, try  them on and even buy them...Hmmm but I guess I won't find the rationale behind the urge to add an extra pair of shoes to my existing closet collection. As I, myself  a self-confessed shoe fanatic.  . I am one of those who are  on tight budget and promised to save, but still cannot resist to buy a pair or  two when my  favorite shoe store goes on sale (my mom won't be happy when she read this). But what can I do  they look so good on my feet and goes well with my nice dresses.

Anyways,  many  of the brides that I met and dealt with, are very particular with their wedding shoes. Even if their wedding gown is long and no one can even catch a glimpse of their shoes unless they pull up their dress. Nonetheless, I've seen almost if not all, the different types of bridal shoes.

From a simple custom made  white sling back,  which is what  my friend  Joan actually wore...
