Where can I rent thai wedding dress in Long Beach, Los angeles or around these two areas?

my friend is ready to marry, but thai traditional requires to have thai traditional clothes for wedding. she has her american style gown already, so she just wants to rent the traditional clothes since she’s gonna wear it one time only. I tried to search many times I could not find any website. Hope to get help from here.

she should probably have done this the other way around because it is easy to find american wedding gowns for rent in california but renting a silk thai dress is going to be hard to do. you can try Thai Bridal at 14441 brookhurst street in garden grove. (714 775 4611) i know they rent bridal gowns. most the women who work there speak vietnamese and have broken english, but you can check with them.

the only other thing i can think of is to get a one-shoulder long gown in red or gold and add your own beads and a wide gold beaded belt and sort of do your own. that would be cheaper than buying a real one. you can find stuff to bead them with at any craft store like michaels or ben franklin’s. i just got done gluing over 300 crystals on my granddaughters ice skating dress for a competition which saved me about 250 dollars on buying one already done. it took two evenings to do it.

grooms attire for beach wedding?

My fiance and I are getting married in la jolla in june and I need help with what he’s wearing.. I dont really like the linen outfit/suit thing… but i dont know whether to go with a khaki pant with a lighter shirt, but just normal cotton material or darker like black pants and what not..
Im thinking about nice dress pants, a button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows for a more casual look and a tie. kind of what he used to wear when he worked for a bank…
it is a super small wedding, us and parents and siblings.. thats all.. pretty casual, i have a silk ivory colored dress. any help would be appreciated

ug, linen is so girly. only european men can wear linen and not look weird. I think your idea of nice dress pants and a button shirt is nice. he can’t roll up the sleeves if he’s wearing a tie tho, that would look weird in your photos. I would skip the tie so he can keep the collar open, but ask him to keep the sleeves rolled down just for the ceremony. then he can roll them up after.

Solo flute pieces for a beach wedding?

I have been asked to play flute for a wedding ceremony on the beach. Does anyone have any suggestions of pieces? I am a pretty competent player however I think fairly simple pieces may be nicer. Maybe classical concerto slow movements? But they have to sound ok un-accompanied.

Please go to www.jennifercluff.com This is NOT me! She has an excellent list of unaccompanied works for weddings.

Playing on the beach is not ideal. Do NOT take your *good flute* – take something student-level. Sand and wind are NOT our friends. Make sure that you stand is SOLIDLY connected to the ground – use one of those big screw supports that people use to connect a dog run or beach umbrella, and lash you r stand to THAT. Get MANY wind clips – those long clothespins – or cover your music with plastic, and then clips THAT. I once played a gig SO windy that i took a lathe-operators mask (clear plastic) and wore it to play – the flute underneath, I could see and be seen, and was able to produce a decent tone without the wind preventing me from doing so.

Some of the suggestions you are going to receive will be for famous flute works – but as you asked, they do not make it without their accompaniments. Go for slow, clear things – not a time to play the Bach a minor partita, of Larson’s “Movin’ On”. Again, check Jen’s stuff – she is always a big help.

Have you ever sold an un-worn wedding dress?

If so, where? Ebay? Craigslist? Another online site?

Though you have not worn it, it is still considered a used dress and no longer worth what you paid for it. Anyone looking at ebay, craigslist or similar for a dress is looking to save money. If they wanted to pay what you did at David’s Bridal for the dress they could go there.

Call around to some bridal shops some of them do buy dresses.

Advertising it on the internet will give you a broader range of people able to look at it, aside from ebay and craigslist here are a few sites you might want to check out:

Beach Wedding Dream Undeterred

Beach Wedding America

Etiquette has always been sort of a touchy subject, especially when it comes to weddings.

Weddings are usually filled with traditions and customs and the ceremony is no exception. So it’s no wonder that people are nervous about what do to with the wedding minister. Since ministers deal with a world filled with religious customs and traditions, many couples are afraid to directly ask sticky questions and yet they don’t want to commit some etiquette faux pas. This is where I come in. As an insider, I’m here to help couples navigate the world of wedding minister etiquette.

Etiquette Question #1: Do we invite the minister to our rehearsal dinner? Generally, an invitation to the rehearsal dinner is not necessary even though it is a thoughtful gesture. The exception to this would be if you’ve known the minister for a long time or if the rehearsal dinner is being held on church property, but even then it’s more of a friendly gesture and not a hard etiquette rule.

Etiquette Question #2: Do I invite the minister to our reception? This one is a little tricky. How do you tell the most important person at your ceremony that they aren’t welcome to stay for dinner?

Traditionally, it’s proper to invite the minister to the reception, especially if that person has a special connection in your life. Generally speaking, most ministers don’t expect to be invited to the reception unless they have known the couple for a long time and many will only stay for cocktails and/or h’or deourves.

Etiquette Question #3: Where do we seat the minister? It’s generally not required that the minister sit at the head table. Having them seated with your family, either parents, such as parents or grandparents, is a good idea especially if they are affiliated with their church.

Etiquette Question #4: Do we tip the minister? It’s easy to see why this is a questions couples hate to ask. You sign a contract and pay deposits and fees just like any other vendor, but somehow it always seems strange tipping a minister like you would any other vendor. Tipping is never mandatory, it’s to reward exceptional service. The minister’s fee is all you’re required to pay and that’s all they expect from you. If you feel they have done a wonderful service, feel free to add money to an envelope to deliver to them after the ceremony is finished. Again, tipping is not required or expected for the minister.

I hope that this clears up some confusion and helps every couple navigate the wedding minister etiquette world a little better. When in doubt, however, don’t be afraid to ask your minister what they are comfortable with. Don’t forget that they deal with weddings all the time and although you may feel strange asking, they are comfortable answering.

Are you ready to send out your wedding invitations but you’re not sure of the correct wedding invitation assembly etiquette? It’s important that they’re assembled the right way so they don’t get damaged on the way to your guests’ letterboxes. Read on to find out the proper way to assemble and send out your wedding invitations.

For proper wedding invitation assembly etiquette, place the invitation inside the large envelope along with its protective tissue and make certain that the invitation is facing you.

Place the reception invitation on top of the wedding invitation, also facing you.

Position the response card in, and leaning within the flap of the response envelope, which is facing down.

Include a small map or directions which will help the guests find their way to the venue. This is the last item to go in the envelope.

Use calligraphy if you’d like to when addressing the envelope as it adds an elegant touch.

Choose a postage stamp that compliments the general appearance of your invitation.

Go to the post office and ask that the wedding invitations be hand cancelled, to avoid unattractive marks or scratches that a machine cancelling can cause.

Observing the proper wedding invitation assembly etiquette is quite important when inviting guests to share your special day. You want to ensure the invitations arrive in your guests’ mailboxes safely intact so they still look as beautiful as they did when you mailed them. I hope these tips have been useful and have helped you on the most romantic journey of your life!

My little sister just got engaged and needs wedding ideas!?

They want to get married outside, like on a beach or at a winery… somewhere on the East Coast where our family is located… Anywhere from SC, NC, VA and MD

outside weddings are nice! make sure if they are getting married outside, that the dress is appropriate. sand + a ball gown = big troubles!! also, i’m having red gerber daisies in my wedding in my bouquet, with no other flowers.. its gorgeous. have the florist add some accent jewels or sometihng if she feels thats not enough.

the time of year for the wedding plays a big part in the colors.. so it would depend on that. fall weddings look good with browns and darker yellows and oranges.. summer weddings = bright colors. winter weddings look good with dark reds and dark blues and spring time looks good with baby blues and pinks. and other soft colors.

as for the bridesmaids. i have 4 good girlfriends, and my fiance has 2 really good best friends. i chose to only have 2 girls, and its the two i feel the most comfortable with and have known the longest, and i told the other two i would like to include them but didnt want to make him feel awkward. they totally understood. if all else fails, th groom could use the brides male cousins, or brothers.

good luck!

Island Beach Wedding

Beach Wedding Bouquets Ideas

Destination and beach weddings tend to be very informal when compared to your traditional church or reception hall wedding. Despite this understood informality, many guests wonder what is or is not appropriate guest attire for a beach wedding.

If this is your first destination wedding, you can rest assured in knowing that the vibe of this type of wedding is naturally more laid back and fun. When a bride and groom invite you to spend four days and three nights with them in beautiful San Juan Puerto Rico – they want you to be comfortable when doing so. Even though destination weddings are considered informal, this does not mean that you should look like you are spending the day doing laundry. You can be dressy, without going overboard.

If you attend a lot of weddings, you probably have a closet full of tea length dresses, cocktail dresses and pants suits in dark or muted colors. Ditch the black and somber colors for this type of wedding. The beach is a fun place, the colors you wear should reflect that. Go for an all white linen outfit or knee length dress in bright summery pastel colors.

Your fabric choice is another important aspect of your destination wedding guest attire. You obviously want to avoid heavy fabrics due to the heat. Light airy fabrics such as linen, soft jersey knit, flowing silk and crisp cool cotton are the best options for beach weddings. Depending on the time of year, finding clothing in these fabrics may be difficult, you can always make your purchase online – which will likely save you a ton of money as well.

As for accessories, leave the heirloom jewelry at home. A simple pearl necklace and earrings is more than suitable. Complete your look with flat sandals or kitten heels; attempting to wear high heels in the sand is a sure fire way to sprain an ankle!

What type of jewelry should I wear?

My grandma wants me to wear her pearls and asked me a long time ago but my mom said if I am wearing peals then I should be wearing hers. So I think I am going to wear neither. I was thinking of doing no necklace with this dress. I can’t decide though. It IS a beach wedding and I am going to wear a tiara. Would you wear jewelry and if so what type? I was thinking maybe white mother of pearl something. I don’t want any fancy jewelry because the gown is already so dressy for the beach.

Thanks!
Yeah, I think pearls would be too much for the dress too. I think that’s why I almost want nothing at all. Oh well.
I am going to wear my hair partially up with loose curls. I like the idea of a flower in my hair also instead of a veil. What do you think? I am leaning toward no necklace at all and just earings.

Your dress is beautiful! I would definitely steer clear of anything too big. I would be hesitant to wear anything at all, especially for a romantic yet simple beach wedding. Do you know how you are wearing your hair? How about a flower in your hair that matches your bouquet if you are having one?

what should groomsmen wear? wedding is next month we’re still undecided!?

we are having a very casual, small beach wedding a month from now. my bridesmaids will all wear little black dresses of different styles that come from their own closets. what is a good idea for the groomsmen to wear? i want them to be comfortable; my fiance says they should look semi classy. the groom is wearing a black tux.
the groom has already paid for his tux and i love it on him anyway so that is not an option. i’m just asking what would be good for groomsmen to wear, not how can i switch around the clothes we’ve already decided upon for the rest of the wedding party.

my brother had a tropical wedding in Illinois he went very simple with groomsmen wearing hawiian shirts and tan kaki shorts with polished black caccooi nut necklaces for the groomsmen
hope this helps, good luck and congrats!

Semi Casual Beach Wedding Dresses

Each year, many couples decide to nix a splashy wedding ceremony and celebration and instead elope to Washington State. Washington State and the Pacific Northwest offer some of the most fantastic elopement locations and venues for a couple and with picturesque mountains, water, countryside and much more, this State offers many wedding site options.

As you consider “where” to elope in Washington State, here are 6 fun location ideas for your easy and small wedding ceremony:

1) Leavenworth, Washington - A two-hour ride from Seattle, Leavenworth is a sweet little German town that welcomes weddings of all sizes in a big day. Here, you can find quaint inns and bed and breakfast places offering elopement packages at affordable rates, especially during off-season. While in Leavenworth, you can get married, enjoy a great overnight or two at a special place and perhaps celebrate your wedding bliss by taking advantage of many of the guided outdoor adventures – cross-country skiing, white water rafting or hiking.

2) Ruby Beach and the Washington State Coast - The Coast of Washington is a big place and little known Ruby is a beautiful and mesmerizing place to exchange wedding vows. Ruby Beach is located just South of Forks, Washington. Once you reach Ruby Beach, you and your officiant and witnesses can take a short hike down to the ocean and get married waterside. Consult the tide schedule to insure a best time for your ceremony and also take a peek at the map and Washington State ferry schedule as you plan your journey to the Washington Coast. For instance, if you are traveling to Ruby Beach from Seattle, it will take you 4-6 hours to get there, depending on what route you take.

3) Ashford, Washington (Mount Rainier) – If you and your Sweetheart are outdoor enthusiasts, consider getting married near or at the base of Mount Rainier. Eloping to the Ashford area and Mt. Rainier is best in the Spring and Summer season and the surrounding area offers luxurious as well as rustic accommodations for your wedding night.

4) Tulalip Resort & Casino – Calling all casino lovers! Believe it or not, the popular Tulalip Casino & Resort hosts a number of small and intimate wedding ceremonies each year. Located one hour North of Seattle, this plush resort not offers a fabulous casino but a wonderful resort where you can snuggle in and relish in your new married status!

5) The San Juan Islands (on the ferry or Island) – There is nothing more fun than getting married on a Washington State Ferry and/or hitching a ride on ferry and getting married on a Puget Sound island. Orcas Island and San Juan Island are two of the most popular “marrying islands” in Washington and offers a wide variety of locations and venues. Contact the Chamber of Commerce on both Islands for venue information.

6) Port Townsend, Washington – This seaside town is a favorite for couples in Washington State who want to elope but don’t want to travel too far. Port Townsend offers waterside locations as well as city parks for your wedding ceremony. And if you want to be married in a historic castle, check out Port Townsend’s Manresa Castle!

We TV beach wedding vows?

Did anyone else catch We TV’s “Beach Weddings” this past Sunday? One of the couples had beautiful vows, and even nore beautiful was what the minister 9female) said about the wedding rings. It was something about how the rings will get nicks and stratches, just as the bride and groom will but if you take it off and look inside it still ooks beautiful, just like the bride and groom will. I’d LOVE to have the exact wording for this if ANYONE can help!!!!
I’ve checked YouTube and couldn’t find it. And all We TV has is a guide of when the show was on.

have you looked for the episode on youtube? or does we tv have a way for you to watch the episode?

Where to have a beach wedding in FL?

My fiance and I are planning a wedding for March/April of 2010 and cannot find a venue =( The ceremony we want ON the beach and the reception (indoors) as close as possible to the ceremony site. We are on a budget so I think hotels are going to be out of the question. Also, we’re looking for something on the west coast (for the sunset) If anyone could help with ANY suggestions we would greatly appreciate it! Maybe you or someone you know just got married on the west coast and could give us some ideas, thanks a lot!!!

There are several choices for coastline cities on the West side of FL.
and I will guess that they all offer some type of wedding package.

For what you want, I would suggest going with a hotel and package. Considering all the costs involved, you will come out better this way.

Specifically, without knowing any details, I can recommend
Sheraton 4 Points in the Destin/Ft.Walton area. Their prices were decent, you can have your ceremony on the beach and they will provide chairs, decorations, and they have a small, separate “cottage” with a deck for a reception where your guests would just walk back up to from the beach, as well as other indoor meeting rooms

With the variety of unique venues that are not only more accepted, but encouraged for weddings today, the choice for attire has followed suit. Casual wedding dresses are haute couture for weddings in backyards, at the beach, in the living room and even at the local corner deli(!) Casual wedding dresses beach wear can consist of a gauzy cotton gown that would later be suitable for a swimsuit cover-up. It’s all about the pairings of the bride and groom’s attire, along with the flowers and other decor.

Cheap casual dresses are the desire of many brides in today’s economic climate. The great thing about this is that there are lots of choices, and lots of inexpensive ways to look great. If you stop to think about it, you don’t want a great big, silk gown with Swarovski crystals and in-laid bead-work if you are exchanging vows in a casual ceremony in your parent’s backyard. Far more appropriate choices would be simple casual dresses, perhaps even short wedding dresses.

Very casual wedding dresses might reflect a bride’s sense of humor, like a costume of her favorite cartoon character. Casual might mean a tie-dyed t-shirt dress to someone who would also wear a wreath of flowers in her hair and hold a bouquet of wildflowers. Dresses no longer have to be white or covered with lace. Some brides choose to wear colored fabrics, animal prints and bold complimentary-colored sashes. And some brides choose not to wear a dress at all.

Themed weddings provide the perfect backdrop for a couple or even an entire wedding party that wants to wear casual attire. Halloween weddings are a perfect excuse to wear costumes surrounding a particular dress up theme or a monster “mash” where every guest wears the costume of their choosing. Western weddings complete with hay bales, country style flowers, a barbeque buffet and even horses are a fun alternatives for people who live a western lifestyle or merely enjoy country music. A cute cowgirl would look fantastic in a western-style, button-down, long-sleeved shirt, jeans and a cowboy hat. Oh, and don’t forget the boots!

Some of the most memorable photos and films of brides in history have captured brides wearing casual clothing. If you have an informal venue in mind for your wedding, consider keeping with the casual theme by incorporating your attire as well. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

High class restaurant (NOT a seafood or steak house) in Miami, Fort Lauderdale?

Me and my fiancee planning to do a getaway wedding just for two of us. So we are going to Miami next week – getting married on the beach, staying in Fontainebleau Hotel. But still haven’t decided which restaurant we want to go. It’s gotta be some classy restaurant where people dressed up (dress code perhaps required), not just people coming in shorts and sandals. (especially coz I’m gonna wear my wedding gown) Something spacious (i don’t want other people sitting inch away from me). With nice view. And cousin maybe french (or as long as i can get mash potatoes with pork or chicken LOL). Defiantly NOT a seafood restaurant (i don’t eat those things) and NOT a steak house. In Miami or Fort Lauderdale.
Any suggestions? Thank you

Here’s some websites with different restaurants. Have a great time in Miami it’s great =)

Flowers for a beach wedding?

I was thinking hydrangeas (blueish) or tulips (pink and orange). The bouquets are a DIY project, and I like that both blooms will be very easy to hand-tie with minimal added “stuff”. Neither will have to be wired to keep the bloom standing up and both look pretty in single flower bouquets. What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions? BTW, the colors are a sort of pistachio green and sky blue. (Alfred Angelo’s pistachio green and pool blue)
I’m going to buy in bulk for the day of the wedding, but I will be getting a smaller order from the same florist to do some “trial runs” a few months before so that I have an idea of how long it will take, the condition that the flowers will arrive in, and how well the flowers will hold up :O)

My only concern would be that you chose delicate flowers and being on the beach involves a light breeze at best and strong gusts at worst, because the flowers are delicate you may run into a problem of the petals flying off the stems with the hydrangeas or the stems bending and possibly breaking with the tulips. Would it be possible to get a stem of each flower and head out to the beach one day when its really windy and see how they hold up under the conditions? This would probably give you a good idea of how they will hold up and you could make your decision based on your own experience.
If they do hold up, I think both choices sound lovely (like the tulips better if I had to choose).
Lillies are pretty hearty and strong and so are the old stand-by, roses, but I hope your choices work out because what you have planned sound much prettier.

Best of luck!

Beach Wedding Bouquets

Malibu isn’t just a beach; it’s practically a whole coastline. Stretching for roughly 27 miles, Malibu comprises about a dozen beaches from Decker Rd. (Hwy. 23) in the west, to Topanga Canyon Blvd. in the east. At this part of the California coast, the beaches face mostly rather than west, except for Westward Beach near Pt. Dume.

The Malibu beaches lie along the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, which are so often subjected to the vicious circle of fires, floods and mudslides. The Pacific Coast Highway, or PCH, is squeezed between the beach and the cliffs much of the way. The ocean side is lined with highway hugging houses of the mostly rich and/or famous.

The beaches themselves range from wide and sandy to so narrow that the waterline comes up directly under someone’s deck. Rocky coves and tide pools are also plentiful.

Malibu itself does not have a cohesive downtown section. Restaurants are spread out, as are a few shopping centers sprinkled with chain stores mixed with specialty shops. Residential sections vary from small, crowded beachfront houses to mountaintop mansions.

GETTING TO MALIBU BEACH CALIFORNIA

You can take the I-10 west through Santa Monica, then veer north onto PCH (Hwy 1) as it hits the coast. Keep driving, and you’ll soon be in Malibu.

Alternatively, from Highway 101 in the San Fernando Valley, you can take a 15-20 minute winding drive through the Santa Monica Mountains along Topanga Canyon Blvd., Malibu Canyon Rd. (Los Virgenes exit), Kanan Dume Rd., or Decker Road. All of these drop down into some part of the Malibu coast, with Malibu Canyon Road taking you the closest to the pier, lagoon, Surfrider Beach and shopping areas.

THE MALIBU BEACHES

Starting at the Ventura County line and heading east towards Santa Monica, there’s Leo Carrillo State Beach, which has camping, tide pools, trails and interesting rock formations. Then comes Nicholas Canyon County Beach, where you park on the bluff and hike down to surf or dive.

The next three beaches are scenic coves with more unusual rock formations. El Pescador State Beach at the end of Decker Rd. has a narrow sandy beach and picnic tables on the bluff above. La Piedra State Beach is similar, only further east.

El Matador State Beach is larger, with a larger pay parking lot and a trail and stairway down to the beach. It also has stunning sea stacks, which attract cormorants and other sea birds.

Broad Beach Road goes through a residential neighborhood between Pacific Coast Highway and the beach. there are a couple of beach access points that go between the houses. You can enjoy the beach at the end of the path or steps, but be careful not to trespass onto private property.

In marked contrast, Zuma Beach County Park is a wide sandy beach with lots of facilities, including restrooms, showers, dressing rooms, snack stands, volleyball, swings and a large pay parking lot.

Point Dume State Beach is next to the Point Dume Headlands, which has some trails. The beach has tide pools and sandstone cliffs. Westward Beach is the section towards the Point, which faces west.

Paradise Cove is a small but lovely beach with expensive parking. No surfing is allowed. Escondido Beach can be found near Malibu Cove Colony Drive. The access point is next to a blue and white trash can. This is a diving spot. Corral State Beach/Solstice Beach is a narrow sandy beach with street parking.

Where Malibu Road veers off PCH through another neighborhood, there are several public stairways next to telltale blue and white trash cans. These paths or stairways go between private homes, so take care not to disturb the residents or trespass. Once on the beach, you must stay a certain distance away from the rear of the houses; below the high tide line should be safe enough.

Malibu Bluffs County Park is off of Pacific Coast Highway, at the end of Malibu Canyon Road, across from Pepperdine University. While not a beach itself, you can park there, use the restrooms and hike down a one and a half mile trail down through the bluffs with magnificent views to Malibu Road and the beach access points mentioned previously. Exhilarating! (But don’t forget you have to hike back

up later.)

Malibu Lagoon State Beach bears an estuary, the Malibu Lagoon, the historic Adamson House and museum, the Malibu Pier, and popular Surfrider Beach which has great waves for surfing.

East of the pier along PCH, are more public stairways to the beach between houses, marked by the blue and white trash cans. Las Tunas State Beach is narrow, sandy and rocky in places. Be careful of rusted metal groins under the water if you swim there.

Topanga State Beach lies at the end of Topanga Canyon Boulevard. It is a narrow sandy beach with rocky parts. There is a pay parking lot, but people also park up along Topanga Canyon Boulevard.

Malibu is a beautiful place to visit and is sure to have a beach to suit just about everyone.

Casual wedding ideas?

We are getting married in September. I have never really imagined what my wedding would look like. I want something casual and fun. I was thinking of a beach or travel them (we love to travel). Any ideas on centerpieces, etc.?

Ooh, go to a beach. That will be much less stressful. But, only if you are not a control freak. I am, and I have to see and pick out everything myself. There is SO much beach wedding stuff. www.wrapwithus.com has some great inexpensive things. Things that are double the price at other websites. Also, you can find some things at orientaltrading.com if you have time to search the wedding section. I love the look of sand in vases with flowers; maybe silk ones.

I want to put flower pedals down the isle and I’m not sure what color would be best. Also don’t know what color to make my bouquet. I saw this and though it was beautiful for the bridesmaids, but don’t like it against the white backdrop of my dress. I’m thinking some vibrant purple, but can’t find any pictures of ones I like. I hate white. Anyone have any other ideas?

I think the two pictures you have of the two toned calla lillies and the roses are BEAUTIFUL! I think they would be just gorgeous against the aqua… Very beautiful for the bridesmaids!

Can you try just one color of the two toned flowers against your dress? Like just the orangey color or just the pinkish/reddish color? You could put an aqua ribbon to hold your bouquet together if it looked ok. I really like the first pic.. the green goes good with those colors too… In my opinion, if you don’t like the two tone on your dress, try sticking to just one of the colors. Good luck! It all sounds amazing!

has anyone had a beach wedding in adelaide?

if so where and how easy were the council & their regulations to deal with?

as nearly as i can discover, the city of adelaide has certain parks and public areas where weddings are allowed. you will have to check with them to see if any of them include the beaches.

there are fees involved and permits you must have….most fees start at 250 plus the parking fees. here is the site for more information http://www.adelaidecitycouncil.com/services/event-bookings/weddings.html

you can also check with this venue to see how to arrange a beach wedding since they have them pictured in their gallery. i believe you need to go through an established licensed venue to do a beach wedding but am not sure. this place is nice and does lovely weddings and is fairly reasonably priced with their menu starting at about 30 per person for the reception dinner. http://www.marionbaytavern.com.au/gallery/weddinggallery.htm

What kind of footwear is the best for a beach wedding..South Beach Miami to be exact…???

Definitely a sequined pair of flip-flops. You’ll have to take them off every half hour to remove the sand, so you’ll want something you can easily slip off and slip back on.

Sequins will give them a dressy look.

Check these out:

http://store.sweetsoiree.com/faseth.html

Or, if you don’t like sequins and beads on your flip-flops, go for flip-flops in gold or silver. Gold flip-flops with a small gold clutch will make any outfit look glamourous.

These gold flip-flops below are ideal because they’re classy, but they’ll also give you some height and you’ll get a minimum amount of sand because they’re high.

Beach Weddings – Destin – Miami – Gulf Shores – Panama City Beach – Pensacola

Beach Wedding Miami Beach

A dazzling sunshine, glittering white sand, a salty breeze, aquamarine heaving under the sky, the warmth of that special someone beside you and holding your hand – who wouldn’t want to prolong this heavenly moment till eternity?

This is the beauty of the Beaches in Florida. Anyone coming to this place for the first time would agree that this is truly the embodiment of paradise – the perfect venue for some quality time together with one’s ‘significant other’. Best of all, Florida beaches can let one immortalize one’s special moments through the ultimate memoranda – Florida beach weddings. Whether one is a guest or one is about to tie the knot, Florida beach weddings are occasions to rejoice and remember.

‘Romantic’ simply defines Florida beach weddings. Over the past few decades, wedding ceremonies have become increasingly less traditional. Resort weddings have become increasingly popular as a direct result. Not only do such weddings reduce the pains encountered by the hosting couples, in order to entertain the guests and for nuptial arrangements, but they also allow couples to enjoy the wedding, for a change. Such moments, once lost, can never be regained.

Florida beach weddings, hosted under the open sky and in the presence of the earth and the ocean as witnesses, let everyone present at the wedding – young or old – indulge in the romantic atmosphere.

There are several locations at Florida beaches that host wedding ceremonies. Even though beach weddings have the air of resort weddings, they are carried out with all the traditional rites and rituals. Several wedding packages are provided making the affair affordable and at the same time, enjoyable.

Having a wedding at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world is one of the best things a couple can dream of. Florida beach weddings bring this dream to life. The passion of open air mingled with the beauty of nature makes these weddings what weddings should ideally be like – escapes from mundane reality into the world where only dreams thrive.

Even residents of Europe are allowed to host Florida beach weddings. Acquiring a marriage license from the courthouse needs to be complemented by an Apostille for most countries. However, this affair is not at all bothersome and never disrupts the spirit of the wedding.

Wedding worth remembering, Florida beach weddings are occasions never to be forgotten.

We also sell many different place card holders that will seat your guests in class.

Florida Beach Wedding?

I’m looking for a place in Florida (probably southern, not sure yet) that has weddings on the beach, without all the bells and whistles? I’m just looking for a hotel/resort that has affordable rooms with a wedding package that isn’t thousands of dollars? I don’t need a cake and a reception, and all that other stuff. I also want to be about to invite 10-30 people.

Clearwater Beach and Sand Key are some of the best beaches on the West Coast of Fl. There are plenty of venues on or near the beach with lots of options. Many open public beaches, some island beaches, some private venues with private beach area. Get in touch with Chamber of Commerce for info. The costs would vary depending on what you decide is important to you and your budget. Trade Winds, Sheraton Sand Key, Biltmore, Don Cesar are biggest and probably most expensive. But they have options. Also many other venues including Shepards, Double Tree, all directly on the beach.

C’mon down, the water is great!

Congrats!

Great wedding site in Virginia Beach for outdoor wedding allowing outside vendors?

I am planning an outdoor ceremony wedding with an inside reception in Virginia Beach in early August 2008 for 300 guests. Looking for a venue which allows outside vendoring with a large outdoor space at a reasonable price.

I am getting married in June of next year, and believe me things are booking up so fast around here. We have looked at Virginia Beach National Golf Club, it is the old TPC. They can fit and do almost anything you are interested in. The guys name is Chris that i have worked with.

Also, First Landing State Park, or Hermitage Foundation will allow all of that.

Hope that helps

Bautista Lavapie Wedding Party Introductions

Virginia Beach Wedding Ceremony Sites

A woman wrote a message of “I Love You” on a piece of paper and put it in a glass bottle, she threw the bottle to the sea, hoping that her another half can get the bottle. A man, who lived far away from the woman, picked the bottle and saw the message. Then he started to find this woman and finally they met and married.

Of course a couple will still get a piece of printed material, which is the piece of paper with the wedding details. Yet the bottle, which is the container of the piece of paper, forms the centerpiece of the wedding invitation.

An interesting application of this idea of glass bottle is linked with a beach wedding. If a couple is going to have a beach wedding, they can take the sand from the beach where they are going to have the wedding ceremony. They can put the sand, with some shells into the bottle and send the wedding invitation out. This renders a symbolic meaning that the sand or the beach is part of the witnesses for their love, and their wedding.

Another idea of glass bottle invitation is about the details of the lives of the couple. The couple can plan the wedding invitation a year before they send the wedding invitation. They can start to collect glass bottles a year before. They take the bottle after finishing a glass of red wine, or a bottle of milk everyday. After a year they will get 365 bottles.

These 365 bottles will become the container of the wedding invitation. This will be something very touching to both the couple and the guest. The bottles are not only containers of the wedding invitation but also containers of the memories and lives of the couple. The guest will be deeply impressed when they know the story of unique bottle he or she receives.

Although the idea of glass bottle is very interesting, it is not without problems. The problems are actually practical problems. A glass bottle will be quite heavy in weight when comparing with a wedding invitation card. The cost of mailing will be a lot higher than normal. This can be a smaller problem in places such as Hong Kong since couples can give the invitation to their guest by hand. This is because Hong Kong is a very small place.

Another problem is about the nature of glass. No one will question that a glass bottle is quite easy to be broken. It will be a pity if the bottle is broken when they are shipped to the guests. Both the couple and the guests will fell pity if this happens. Extra care has to be taken when the couple packs the glass bottle wedding invitation. They may need to get a lot of air bag to protect the bottles.

In order to ease the problem of broken bottles, some companies provide plastic bottles instead of glass bottles. A plastic bottle is a lot lighter than a glass bottle and it is not easy to be broken. However, there is always a trade-off between quality and convenience. The “texture” of getting a glass bottle is totally different from a plastic bottle, when the guest picks the bottle with their hands. The question of using plastic or glass bottle is left to the couple themselves.

In the past, getting married was a much simpler affair. Having to decide about whether you want a wedding ceremony and accommodation package or an intimate wedding for two just didn’t come into it. Traditionally, brides got married in their hometown. These days you can get married on board a cruise ship the choice on offer is so diverse!

Wedding packages are a great way to host your special day for family and friends and build in the feeling that you are “getting away” from it all. There are so many different types of wedding packages to choose you will probably find it really hard to choose. The majority of packages are fairly standard in price which will normally be inclusive of the wedding ceremony, reception, catering and accommodation.

Your first task is to decide on where to host your wedding. Here are some useful tips. Try and stick to your overall budget and keep in mind the affordability of the destination for your guests. You want to be able to share your special day with all of your family and friends so don’t go overboard.

At the other end of the spectrum is the intimate wedding for two. Very often a large number of venues will cater for very small parties of just two people and witnesses. Popular locations are castles, manor houses and beach settings. Large tour operators also offer intimate wedding holidays for two people if you need to try and keep costs down.

Conclusion

When it comes to getting married these days you have the world at your feet. Do your research first before you commit to anything and if at all possible network with other people who have already gone through the experience, to find a recommended service provider.

Beach Wedding Hairstyle?

I am getting married on the beach. I would love a hairstyle that is simple yet beautiful (not the messy look). My hair is about 2 inches past my shoulders and it is layered. Here is a picture of my dress. I am wearing a small tiara and a veil that is about elbow length…can anyone help!!

Well I have a few tips for you, I was a beach bride in June!

Buy the smallest fishing weights you can find at your local sporting goods store or Wal-mart. Pain them the color of your dress (with finger nail polish) once there dry attach one to each corner of the veil, one in the middle of the back. This keeps veil from blowing around your face in the wind,(wont hit a bridesmaid in the face or blow around when walking down or up the isle) and not to heavy that it will pull your hair out.

I had my hair pulled half up half down in curls. I also used a warming spray. Ask you hair dresser they know what I am talking about. It holds the curls but isn’t crunchy and stiff, so if a curl comes down or the wind blows a bit it will move naturally and not look odd in pictures. like the wind blowing softly but your hair only looks like half of it is moving (like the wind hit a block wall).

Expect to have those little hairs come down and be around your face, we planned on it so we curled and set them where we wanted them ahead of time so it was a big deal when they came loose.

Hair spray with make your hair frizzy in the moist ocean air. I would ask the hair dresser or go online and check out bride hair at the salons. They will have tons of hair ideas.

Hope this helped and best wishes. I personally had my hair done like Elisabeth on the Pirate of the Caribbean 1 where she was on the goast ship. It was a classic look with soft curls that were made to look natural. So the hair dresser made them very tight perfect curls and said let the wind do it thing and make it look natural. It did and was perfect!

Florida is a popular destination wedding location for many couples. Often times, due to travel plans or unfamiliarity with the local area, many brides and grooms wish to obtain their Florida Marriage License in advance of their arrival. There is currently a lot of contradictory information on the Internet as to whether or not a couple can obtain their License to Marry in the State of Florida without having to appear in person before the Clerk of Court. Some websites say you can while others say you cannot. Surprisingly, there are even some Clerks of Court in the State of Florida who are unfamiliar with the Statutes.

Simply put, there is a provision in the Florida Statutes for obtaining your Marriage License by mail in advance of your arrival but there are several special conditions that must be met beforehand. The process for obtaining your license in this manner is referred to as a “Plea In Absentia”. It is a little-known provision in the Statutes designed to assist those brides and grooms with special circumstances.

Generally speaking, the following conditions must be met:

1. The Bride & Groom must both be over the age of 18
2. The Bride & Groom must both be NON-FLORIDA residents
3. The Bride & Groom must present notarized copies of their identification to the local agent or coordinator who is working with the courthouse on their behalf to make certain the parties requesting the license are who they say they are
4. When the License Application has been issued by the Clerk of Court, it must be signed in the presence of a notary by the Bride and Groom
5. All other provisions that apply to those appearing in person must also be met such as payment of the license fee and signing of the Required Premarital Statement which states the Bride and Groom have read the Florida Family Planning Handbook and have not attended a Premarital Seminar or Training Class

The Marriage License is valid for 60 days from the date it has been issued. The date of issue counts as the first day so care should be taken to ensure the couple allows a few extra “slack days” on the back-end of the valid period for the license in the event of travel delays or last minute changes to their wedding date. If the license expires prior to the wedding ceremony a new one must be obtained before the officiant can legally sanction the union of the couple.

Currently, there are only two County Clerks of Court in the State of Florida that allow for Plea in Absentia filings as they pertain to Marriage Licenses. Fortunately, however, a Marriage License issued by any County Clerk of Court within Florida is valid in any other county. For example, you may use a courthouse in Central Florida for your Plea in Absentia filing and still get married in the Florida Keys, Miami, Panama City Beach, or elsewhere within the State.

We hope this article helps to clear up any confusion on this issue. For further study, we would recommend a review of the Florida Statutes, section 741. We wish you the best for your visit to the Sunshine State and for your upcoming wedding.

is this dress appropriate for a summer beach wedding?

http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3091845?Category=&Search=True&SearchType=predictivesearch&keyword=strapless+dresses&origin=searchresults

It’s not appropriate as a guest, since it’s white.

I’d return it at your local Nordstrom’s and pick out a different dress… summer in the caribbean is HOT, so airy fabrics like cotton or linen would be much more comfortable for you. There are plenty of sundresses out right now to pick from… *any* colour except white/silver/ivory.

Texas Wedding….?

I’m wanting to have a beach wedding. But, the only beaches in Texas that I have been to are Crystal Beach, Galveston, and Freeport and they don’t seem like the kind of places that I would want to get married but, idk. In your opinion what are the prettiest beaches in Texas. I’ve heard that S. Padre is gorgeous but it’s over 7 hrs away from where I live and I don’t really think that alot of people will want to drive that far. I live in the Bryan/College Station area. I don’t want my guests to have to drive longer than 4 hours. Also, if you know of any other really beautiful places in Texas to get married. Let me know your opinions.
Thanks!

I discovered Rockport about 5 years ago and was actually impressed with the beach and clear water. It is just north of Corpus and has great places to stay as well. Here is the link to a “beach wedding” planner there. No, I don’t work for them, I just really like Rockport! Not too far from College Station….

Wedding Florist – Beautiful Arrangements For Your Big Day

When deciding on a florist seek personal recommendations from friends and recently married acquaintances. If you are unable to decide, it is best to visit several and look at their displays. Most florists will allow you visit them at a time when they have prepared flowers for other weddings so that you can see the quality of their work.

The florist should be given notice of the wedding approximately four months in advance so that he is free on the day. The florist will want to discuss precise details around six weeks before the wedding.

Many flowers can now be obtained out of season because they are grown in greenhouses and are imported from other parts of the world. Seasonal flowers, however, are more likely to fresher and less expensive.

Hopefully your church and reception location aren’t far apart from each other. This will come in handy when choosing a florist. Your best bet is to go with one that is local to the wedding and reception areas to cut down on costly delivery fees. The quicker your flowers reach their destination the fresher they will be.

Before choosing a wedding florist, several decisions should have been made. You should already know the type of wedding and reception you have planned and their locations should already be booked. For instance, if you are having a beach wedding the bride will want a small bouquet to go with her more informal beach wedding dress.

You should also know what color table linens will be used at the reception and what color dresses the bridal party will be wearing. This information is important when comparison shopping since you want to choose flowers to match the decor.

It’s probably a good idea to first check with your banquet manager to see if flowers for the reception are included in your catering package. If they are, and this is acceptable to you, you’ll only need to discuss ceremonial flowers and bouquets.

A florist who is armed with this information can give you a more accurate quote.

Like all other aspects of your wedding, you’ll want to comparison shop to get the best value for your money. Visit with different wedding florists and describe what you’d like for your wedding. He’ll probably have several books for you to look through to choose the flowers and centerpieces that compliment your wedding and reception. Keep in mind that flowers are seasonal. To save money, go with blooms that are in season. If they’re out of season, make sure they won’t cost much money to bring in from other parts of the country. Exotic flowers are sure to be more expensive.

In your quest for the perfect flowers for your wedding, don’t discount the neighborhood florist. He might not advertise as a wedding florist, but he probably knows what he’s doing. Even better, he probably charges less than the one at the wedding super center. The service is sure to be more personalized and he’ll have more time to sit with you and find flowers to suit your needs.

Once you’ve visited several shops, browsed their books and received their quotes, it’s time for you to begin choosing a wedding florist. Do you want to go with the wedding florist who charges the lowest fee or the florist with the prettiest floral arrangements? Do you want personalized service, or a limited package provided by the wedding super center or catering hall? Don’t forget to ask about flower preservation! Whatever you do, don’t settle for the cheapest price if the package doesn’t feel right to you. It is, after all, the most important day of your life.

Does anyone have any good sites for planning a beach wedding in Puerto Rico?

Most of the site I come up with are bogus, advertisement sites. Advice from anyone who has planned a destination wedding would be helpful!

Hi
We just returned from Jamaica yesterday, where my daughter got married Dec 31rst.

We just researched the hotels we were interested in. They all have wedding packages. Once you’ve picked out the hotel you like, you can then ask for the wedding package to see the prices, and what it includes. Whats extra etc.

The wedding planner at our hotel was fabulous. He even changed the date of the wedding for us, because the weather report was calling for thunderstorms. The wedding was scheduled for Dec 28th, but was changed until New Years Eve afternoon. And let me tell you, the wedding was amazing. And the album the photographer put together was like something out of a fairy tale.

All the packages start out with the basic pkg, and then there will be the extras, like hair, photos. We rented the gazebo, that was out over the water for our dinner, waiter service & our dance. We had it for as long as we wanted and cost only 200.00 usd extra. The entire wedding including everything cost around 1450.00 usd. There was only 6 of us. Obviously the more people it’ll cost more for champagne & the dinner etc.

Plan a Beautiful Beach Wedding Along the Outer Banks

There is an advantage to having a beach backdrop for your dream wedding. For one, you don’t have to travel far to begin the honeymoon, as you are already in paradise! Also, there is a beautiful serenity associated with exchanging vows along a pristine shoreline with the calm waters as your witness and the tang of ocean breezes providing a relaxing atmosphere. Your guests will love the change in scenery, and you will enjoy the memories for years to come.

Nowhere will a dream wedding on the beach be more perfect than in the Currituck Outer Banks. The climate is wonderful year round, so there is seldom a worry about the weather being too hot or too cold for a particular date. As the Outer Banks peaks at various seasons, an early spring or fall wedding would prove beneficial to couples on a budget, and accommodations are much easier to find as well. If planning a wedding during the off season, however, it is best to contact potential caterers ahead of time to see if they will be in operation. Remember, a number of businesses will close once summer is over.

One bonus to getting married in the Currituck Outer Banks is that there is no waiting period involved after obtaining a Currituck County marriage license. If you are from another county, you also have the option of obtaining your license there and getting married at the beach. A nominal fee of fifty dollars will get you the license if you register in Currituck, which remains valid for sixty days following the issue date, and any ordained minister or officiate may perform your ceremony. The officiate need not a special license to perform the marriage in the state, either, so if you have somebody in mind who is from out of town, no extra measures are necessary.

Once the legalities are understood, now comes the fun part – planning the reception and honeymoon! The Currituck Outer Banks offers a number of beautiful, historical attractions that have become popular wedding destinations over the years. The Whalehead Club, once the resort home of Currituck’s elite, makes for a beautiful, elegant reception venue, while the sunny atmosphere of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse grounds offers a touch of whimsy to any nuptial celebration.

The Corolla Chapel, Currituck’s only year-round interdenominational church, has been the site of many of wedding and reception since its inception. If available, you may want to consider contacting any of the local vineyards for possible reception space. Moonrise Bay and Martin Vineyards of Knotts Island have hosted many a tasting over the years, and Martin Vineyards hosts the annual Peach Festival in July. Both wineries offer beautiful grounds and views of the ocean.

For an unforgettable wedding under the gentle North Carolina sun, consider the Currituck Outer Banks for your ceremony and reception. Create memories along the sandy shores and come back again, with the kids.

i have a question about a destination wedding?

ok we want to get married on a beach do you have to get the package most resorts offer? or can you do it on your own? or get the package and be able to add your own things also?

Either way. You can get the package deal from a resort (and some toss it in for FREE this way, or you can go with a wedding coordinator at the destination of your choice. Neither is necessarily better – depends on the location that you choose & the things that are important to you. I had a “vow renewal” in Kauai years ago & used a local officiant who did it for under $250 dollars – he was great & I am sure that we could not have bet the price anywhere on the island & gotten all the services we did – photos & cake & all.

Philippine Beach Wedding Destination – Caylabne Bay Resort

You want to have an outdoor wedding ceremony and reception, to use the fresh beauty of nature as the backdrop for your event, rather than some stuffy banquet room…

Perhaps you want to have more of a “simple” feel to your wedding, or maybe you want to take advantage of some spectacular local scenery. Or maybe you just think it will be great fun to have an outdoor wedding in your parent’s backyard!

Whatever the case, there are a few considerations you need to think about…

The weather!

Of course, the weather is the “biggy” for an outdoor wedding. If you live in an area that experiences inclement weather, you will definitely need to have a back-up option. This means either renting tents or having an indoor option that you could move to at the last minute.

The temperature

If your outdoor wedding will involve celebrating into the night, you will need to consider how chilly the evening air will be for your guests. If you’re worried about the temperature at your outdoor wedding, make sure to tell guests to bring a wrap or jacket. You can also rent heat lamps or even fire pits, depending on the style of your wedding.

On the other hand, if your outdoor wedding will take place during a particularly warm time of year, you may want to consider ways of keeping your guests cool. Make sure there is some sort of shade available for guests on a hot day – whether it’s from trees, tents, or umbrellas!

The ground beneath your feet!

One consideration that couples often overlook when planning an outdoor wedding is the ground. If the ground is gravelled, uneven, or moist lawn (into which high heels can sink!), women will have trouble walking in their high heels. In consideration of your guests, young and old, think about whether the ground is easily navigable in formal wear.

PLUS, if you’re setting up chairs on uneven ground or moist lawn, you’ll have to watch out for wobbly seating!

Dancing

On a similar note, you may need to consider renting a dance floor for an outdoor wedding. Uneven ground, moist lawns, or gravelly, rocky terrain are tough to dance on. Your friends and relatives – especially the elderly ones – will appreciate some attention to the dance floor!

Direction of the sun

If your outdoor wedding will include a ceremony under the noon day sun; saying your vows in the late afternoon; or champagne toasts over speeches at sunset, think for a moment about how the sun will shine on your guests. If guests need to stare into the glare of the sun to try to make out the bride & groom’s silhouettes, you may want to rethink the timing or positioning of the different elements of your event.

Bugs!

Now here’s a topic that doesn’t spring quickly to mind when you’re planning your romantic outdoor wedding in a beautiful natural setting… BUGS! All too many summer evening wedding receptions are plagued by pesky mosquitoes; some parts of the world have an even worse time of it with black flies, wasps, and other nasty critters.

So what can you do to prevent a buggy invasion on your special day? Well, dotting a few citronella candles here and there can’t hurt. Discreetly placing a bottle of bug spray behind a the centrepiece on each table isn’t a bad idea, either! Another great way to keep the bugs at bay during your outdoor wedding is to strategically place a few fans at the perimeter of your reception seating to blow those bugs away.

The unexpected

When you’re having an outdoor wedding, one thing you’ll definitely have to expect is… the unexpected!

Unexpected heat: Will your wedding cake melt in the noonday sun? Will your grandmother get heat stroke?

Unexpected noise: Will a city parade, jet plane air show, traffic jam, or neighbourhood game of kickball create unexpected noise at your event? Ask your neighbours to refrain from using their leaf blowers during your ceremony; consider dropping off event notices around the neighbourhood asking people to respect your event.

Unexpected bad weather: What will you do if the wind picks up and starts blowing everything away? What if a massive thunder and lightning storm decides to roll in just as everyone is sitting down to dinner?

When you have an outdoor wedding, you simply have to be a little more prepared than you would for an indoor event. But it can certainly be worth it! A beautiful garden, a sandy beach, the backyard of a childhood home… all of these outdoor wedding locations can be meaningful, romantic, and spectacularly beautiful.

Of course, another great option is to find a wedding venue that offers an outdoor space – plus an indoor reception area that can be used as your back-up option. Some wedding venues will even set up tents and take care of all the outdoor wedding details FOR you!

5 Reasons to Plan a Destination Wedding in Jamaica

Are you getting ready to plan your upcoming wedding? If so, your first thought may be to have a beautiful ceremony back home. Yes, this is nice, but have you considered destination weddings, like in Jamaica? If not, now is the time. Although most couples don’t need convincing, you may wonder what makes a destination wedding better than a traditional wedding back home.

1 – The Weather

If you live in New York and plan a wedding in the middle of July, you are likely to find warm hot weather. This is great, but the heat and humidity may leave it feeling too hot. With the Caribbean and the island of Jamaica, you don’t just get warm weather, but tropical weather too! Then, there is the rain. The weather is somewhat unpredictable all around the world, but you are more likely to find scattered showers and thunderstorms in New York and many other areas of the United States than in Jamaica.

As with a wedding back home, you have many venue choices. Some Jamaica resorts have onsite chapels, but most give you many choices. If you opt for a garden or beach wedding, the beautiful, warm, sunny, and tropical weather makes your wedding ceremony nothing short of picture perfect.

2 – All-Inclusive Resorts

There are many all-inclusive resorts on the island of Jamaica. You may wonder what impact this has on your wedding ceremony. These resorts are the perfect place to have a destination wedding. Most give you many ceremony options. If a small wedding chapel is not found onsite, you may get to choose from a garden, the beach, or a banquet room.

Most importantly, some all-inclusive Jamaica resorts give you a unique opportunity. That is to have a free wedding ceremony. Yes, a free wedding ceremony! Many luxury resorts extend a free standard wedding to guests who meet a minimum stay requirement. This stay requirement varies depending on the Caribbean resort in question, but it is usually three, five, or seven nights. After examining a resort’s free wedding inclusions, you should like what you see. Luckily, affordable upgrades are available if you want more.

3 – The Ability to Combine Your Wedding and Honeymoon

Planning a wedding is a joyous experience, but it can also be stressful and time consuming. Not only that, but you must later plan the honeymoon. The island of Jamaica gives you another unique opportunity. That is to combine your destination wedding and honeymoon into one. Since the island is home to all-inclusive resorts, great restaurants, lots of activities, beautiful beaches, and tropical weather, you will have the honeymoon of your dreams. For your destination wedding, you may have intended to stay two nights. Extend your stay until seven nights for your honeymoon. Plus, this makes it easier to qualify for the above mentioned free wedding that may be offered.

4 – Your Friends and Family Can Come Too

One concern that many couples have about destination weddings surrounds guests. Whether you live in New York, California, or Florida, you may wonder if your guests will make the extra trip to the Caribbean. Honestly, some may not, but you may be surprised how many jump at the opportunity. Not only do they get to attend your wedding, but they get their own Jamaica vacation! Most all-inclusive resorts have a few free guests passes and additional available for sale. This means guests staying at a different resort can attend your ceremony without complications.

5 – It Will Be Cheaper Than You Thought

As previously stated, many couples automatically write off destination weddings due to complications of planning and cost. Don’t make this mistake. As previously stated, you can save money by opting for a resort with a free standard wedding ceremony, combining your wedding and honeymoon into one trip, looking for discount travel packages, and so forth. There are many ways to trim the cost of an otherwise expensive wedding. As for ease of planning, most luxury all-inclusive Jamaica resorts have wedding planners available. They will help you plan the wedding of your dreams, even though you may be thousands of miles away.

Important Considerations for Beach Weddings

Beach weddings are commonly thought of as the most romantic weddings possible.  However, if you are considering having your wedding on a beach, here are some important considerations to keep in mind to help ensure your big day is pure romantic bliss and not an “America’s Funniest Home Videos” clip.

Is your wedding going to be right on the beach?   If so, the tide will be something you need to consider.  As romantic as the beach is, neither you nor your guests are probably thinking of getting married IN the water.  Having the tide come up as a guest into your wedding is only romantic if you planned it that way.  On the other hand, having the water half a mile away from you at low tide can make a beach wedding seem a lot less fun and a lot more sandy.  Planning your wedding time around the tides isn’t difficult to do, but it is important to set the right atmosphere and tone for your beach wedding day.

Since most beach weddings are an outdoor affair, having an alternate plan in case the weather turns unpleasant is another important factor.  Tents or umbrellas can be an easy way to relieve your worries about rain, or perhaps even having a substitute location in case the weather is really bad.  For indoor weddings, it’s nice to have a beautiful day, but not as vital.  When you are planning on spending the day outdoors, watching the skies becomes a necessity.  Are you planning on having many elderly people attend your wedding?  Accessibility to your wedding site could be an issue you need to think about.  For example, how will you get Grandpa Joe’s wheelchair onto the beach?  Informing your guests beforehand of the terrain so they can dress accordingly (i.e. no high-heels on the sand) will allow your guests to be comfortable at your wedding.  Thinking beforehand of the small details that make people feel welcomed will allow your wedding to be a huge success.

The photography is another consideration you should keep in mind.  Outdoor photography can be stunning, but it is completely different from indoor photography.  Make sure to let your prospective photographers know you are planning on a beach wedding and ask to see samples of their work done outdoors.

One of the advantages of having a beach wedding is the lack of “venue expense” as most beaches are public property.  The disadvantage to this is that you have no control over who else is sharing the space with you.  Having a plan of what to do in case of total strangers trying to attend your wedding is an important consideration for a public beach wedding.

If you can, go over to the big Island on Kona and dive with the Mantas. Youll never be the same. It was awesome.Oh yeah, if youre not staying at the Hawaiian Village, GO! The penguins are awesome.. The food is 10X better than anywhere else.. And the crafts rule. Dont forget to go to The polynesian cultural center. and go to Matusmotos on the North Shore.. Its the best shaved Ice in the world..

Finding The Perfect Plus Size Dress

I love dresses!  There are so many gorgeous ones to choose from suitable for all body shapes and a variety of occasions.  In the women’s plus size market, they have expanded the offering a long way from the traditional mu-mus of days gone by.  Now, instead of making a plus size woman looking like a marshmallow clothed in a tent, they play up her femininity (and can at the same time be tailored for the perfect the business look while maintaining a level of feminine style).  For very special occasions, a gown can make a lady feel like a celebrity or royalty!  Viva la dress!

One of the most flattering dresses currently available is fitted in the bodice, has a high waist that is fitted and then flares into a lovely a-line dress.  This style creates a curvy diva look by showing off a nice bosom and the curve into the waist while camouflaging a full tummy or heavier thigh area.  It can end at the top of the knee, just below the knee and is a fabulous cut for a maxi dress (more on that later).

Another great style is the “T Dress.” It is usually knee length and flares just above the stomach into an attractive A-line. In this style, nobody will notice thighs that are larger than usual or a fuller tummy. Many dresses force the wearer to try to constantly hold in her stomach, but this style looks great AND is comfortable!

Welcome back Maxi Dress!  The long maxi dress is perfect for the beach, or in fancier fabrics for a more formal occasion with a cute little shrug for arm coverage.  The snug bodice and empire fit leading into a looser a-line skirt is flattering on nearly EVERY body.  Once again, great for camouflaging a fuller tummy and thighs, as well as for women with swelling ankles!  They come in great color combinations, and fabrics.  Don’t miss out on wearing them while they are popular.

Work dresses are usually more tailored and not fussy.  For business occasions, the plain cut tank style dress is the perfect addition to a wardrobe.  For women in professional positions, it is important to not show too much skin to be taken seriously.  The tank dress usually gives good coverage on top and serves as simple palette to be dressed up with a complimentary jacket.  Later, the dress can be dressed up with a more formal jacket for a wedding.

Special Occasion dresses are wonderfully fun to shop for and wear.  My favorite designers for plus size dresses are Tadashi, Henry Jackson, and Adrianne Pappell.  They all do figure flattering glamour in wonderful shorter sheaths for cocktail and full length gowns for black tie events. 

Women hunting for a dress should go for a style that is complimentary to their features and makes them look and feel good. When we ladies are happy with the way we look, our confidence shines through.

Plus Size Beach Wedding Dress

A wedding on the beach is probably on or the most popular options for couples nowadays. In fact, there can be lots of choice when outdoor wedding is considered. However, most couples will still go for the beach idea since it can be more informal. And there can be full of fun to have the ceremony on a beach. At the end of the day a wedding is meant to be fun. This is probably the reason for the increasing popularity of beach wedding.

Without any surprise, the bridal dress for a beach wedding should be different from a church one. You can probably imagine that it will be less formal when compared with some traditional gown design. When you are shopping for your perfect and unique dress for your beach themed wedding, you can consider the following issues:

No matter it is a beach wedding or a more traditional one, the bridal gown or bridal dress should be the focus of the wedding. As a result, you should pay extra attention when you are shopping. You should choose it with the greatest care. As a matter of fact it is not easy to make the decision on the dress.

Nowadays you have virtually unlimited number of choices when wedding gown is concerned. If you do not like the styles from your local bridal shop, you can always consider shopping online. You may even order an item from the other side of the world!

Since the dress will certainly be less formal. You can indeed make the decision based on your personal style. It is not necessary for you to choose a white color one. If you have the courage, a tube top style can be perfect for a beach wedding. Of course you should also be practical when you are shopping for it. Besides your personal style, you should also make the decision based on your body shape, skin color, and most importantly your budget! However, no mater what your preference is, it is probably that the wedding dress will be a causal one, instead of a formal one.

Besides, you should allow yourself plenty of time when shopping for the dress. You will take the time to find the most perfect one. You will also need to time to approach different bridal shops in order to find the best deal. The prices can be different for different shops even if they style of the dresses are similar.

Unique Chocolate Wedding Favors That Everyone Will Love

There are many reasons why a bride might choose chocolate wedding favors for her reception. They’re typically very affordable, come in a wide variety of flavors, look beautiful and festive, and let’s face it, who doesn’t love chocolate?

But wanting to have chocolate wedding favors for your reception can leave you scratching your head as to what you should actually choose, and how chocolates can be presented at your reception in a beautiful and appropriate manner.

Choosing these favors will depend on many things, but probably your budget more than anything. There’s no limit to the amount of money you can spend on designer bonbons and truffles and other gourmet items, so it’s a good idea to have an actual budget in mind before you even begin shopping around.

You might also want to give some consideration to the theme and tone of your wedding and reception. Is it a very formal affair in an elegant banquet hall or a more casual party? If it’s formal and traditional, then typically you want chocolates that are just as elegant and indulgent. Most chocolate makers have packages that they make up just for weddings, usually a small collection of bonbons or truffles that comes in beautiful boxes. They may be decorated like little tuxedos and wedding gowns. They may be heart-shaped and hand decorated with your names or initials. Some may offer just one very exquisite or decadent chocolate in its own mini tray or foil, and be wrapped with a bit of tulle and ribbon.

Other small treats may be a few chocolates stacked on top of each other to resemble a wedding cake, again, in its own mini tray and ribbon or a small clear box. There are also chocolates in the shape of a letter which is usually in a clear plastic bag and tied with an elegant ribbon.

However, if your reception is more casual then your options can include treats such as chocolate covered pretzels in a small box. If you’re both sports loves, there are chocolates shaped like golf balls, soccer balls, bowling balls, volleyballs, baseballs, and virtually any other sporting ball you can think of.

For those who love casinos or who are planning a Vegas-themed wedding, some chocolate wedding favors are shaped like large dice or like poker chips.

For beach wedding favors, you can find chocolates in the shape of seashells. Some bakers can offer to make just plain squares of chocolate that are stamped with your name or initial.

When opting for chocolate wedding favors such as these, be sure to dress them up with a personal touch. If the box they come in is rather plain, wrap it in beautiful wrapping paper and large ribbon from either your paper supply or fabric store, in a color that matches your reception’s theme.

And of course a very affordable and unique option for chocolate wedding favors is personalized candy bar wrappers, which usually come in a wide variety of designs and styles. These can match your wedding’s tone, whether elegant and traditional or fun and whimsical, and can also provide a nice keepsake for an album or scrapbook.

As more and more chocolate makers realize the popularity and versatility of chocolate wedding favors, you may see that you as a bride have more and more options available to you when it comes time to choosing just the right chocolate favors for your reception.

The theme circles the flair by flow, then the first job at hand is to decide if you want to stick to a specific theme, or simply keep it informal and casual on the day.

Hawaiian wedding at fourseasons… I’d really appreciate your opinions?

My fiance and I both cannot decide on where to have the ceremony. Which do you prefer?

Either location is beautiful. If you are wearing a fairly big gown, it would be easier for you to walk on the grass than the sand. For this reason, I would opt for Palm Grove.

Cruising to the Movies

If you take a cruise to the Caribbean, you could easily be forgiven for thinking you’re on a film set with its turquoise waters, golden beaches and stunning landscape. That’s why numerous films have been shot on location over the years, from the first film version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1916 to the recent Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy, and quite a few in between! The islands have been home to many stars as a result, including the Beatles, Darryl Hannah, Kirk Douglas and Johnny Depp.

If you want to visit the sets of some of your favourite movies on your next Caribbean cruise read our guide to some of the top locations used by film directors.

The Bahamas

The crystal waters and sandy beaches of the Bahamas are a constant draw for film makers. The 1954 remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was also filmed at New Providence Island, following in the footsteps of the original version, mostly around Lyford Cay. The remake consequently won the Oscar in 1955 for Best Art Direction, Best Effects and Special Effects.

James Bond fans can enjoy themselves spotting scenes from their favourite Bond flicks. Nassau Harbour was used for many of the underwater battle scenes, as well as being the hiding place of the stolen Vulcan bomber, in Thunderball. If you’re into diving, you can visit the Tears of Allah shipwreck in the South Ocean which featured in Never Say Never Again. You may also be surprised to discover that the interior of Miami International Airport in the recent version of Casino Royale was actually Nassau International Airport, whilst the Madagascar shanty town was filmed at an abandoned motel in Coral Harbour on New Providence Island.

South Bimini Island, around 40 miles east of Miami, has also made a film appearance, albeit very briefly, at the end of Silence of the Lambs when Hannibal (Anthony Hopkins) calls Clarice (Jodie Foster) to tell he’s “having an old friend for dinner” before walking down King’s Highway in Bimini.

Other films shot on location in the Bahamas include Help, Cocoon, Jaws IV: The Revenge and Speed 2, Cruise Control.

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory, located about 10 miles south of the town of Arecibo, has featured in several films. The huge radio telescope was used by Jodie Foster in Contact to probe the cosmos, it appeared as the Cuban satellite dish in Goldeneye and it also received transmissions from an alien source in Species.

One film you might not admit to having seen which was also shot in various locations around Puerto Rico is Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster, where the island is raided by two Martians looking for women to take back to Mars and use as breeding stock.

The island of Vieques has also been used as a film location, most notably for Heartbreak Ridge (starring Clint Eastwood who also directed the film) and the 1963 version of Lord of the Flies.

Jamaica

Jamaica is a popular location for film makers with its distinctive Caribbean vibe. The Tom Cruise film Cocktail was filmed here at Dunn’s River Falls, Sandals Royal Plantation and Jamaica Inn around Ochos Rios (about 70 miles east of Montego Bay), as was Papillon, starring Steve McQueen, near the town of Falmouth on the northern coast. You can also see How Stella Got Her Groove Back at Montego Bay.

Don a bikini and pretend you’re Ursula Andress in Dr No emerging from the sea at Laughing Waters beach – one of the most famous scenes in cinematic history. Dr No fans can also follow in the footsteps of the three blind mice in Kingston, see the mountain home of Miss Taro or make sure they don’t get caught in the swamps at Falmouth.

Jamaica had a name change to San Monique for Live and Let Die. Kananga’s underground lair was filmed around Runaway Bay, while Bond’s hotel room was at the Rose Hall Great House Resort in Montego Bay.

Other films shot in Jamaica include The Blue Lagoon, the 1990 remake of Lord of the Flies and License to Wed.

More of the numerous films that also called in at the Caribbean include Apocalypse Now (Dominican Republic), The Godfather II (Dominican Republic), The Shawshank Redemption (US Virgin Islands), Trading Places (US Virgin Islands), Swiss Family Robinson (Trinidad and Tobago) and 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair (Martinique).

Of course, we can’t talk about the Caribbean without mentioning Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. They certainly made use of the region, filming in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, Dominica and Bermuda. Hampstead Bay in Dominica was the scene of the waterwheel fight, whilst a small island in the British Virgin Islands appeared as Dead Man’s Chest.

Make your next cruise one to remember by walking in the footsteps of some of the greatest film stars of all time.

Tips for Choosing a Style for Your Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations come in all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, that means you may have a tough decision to make when it comes time to choose the wedding invitation that is right for you. You can choose from a wide range of colors, fonts and designs. These are all available in a variety of styles. Some styles that you can choose from are the following: classic, contemporary and destination.

The style of your wedding invitation should reflect the theme of your wedding. By choosing your wedding invitation style first, you can narrow down the options, making it easier to find a design that works well for you. Here are some great tips for choosing the perfect style for your wedding invitations.

First, consider that the wedding invitations are a reflection of the wedding theme. If you are going to have an informal beach wedding, choosing an elegant style for your wedding invitation might throw them off a bit. Similarly, if you want your wedding to be a black tie affair, sending out a bright colored modern wedding invitation may be confusing to your guests. Although you should be clear about the dress code and other elements in the invitation itself, the style really sets the tone. Even though you may really like one particular style, it may not be the best choice for your wedding if it does not match the theme you have chosen.

The theme chosen for your wedding affects the style you should consider when choosing a wedding invitation. Weddings can take place during any time of the year and color and styles reflect that. A fall wedding is usually more formal and a classic style invitation is an excellent choice for this type of wedding. Classic style invitations are usually white with black lace or a grey border. This provides your guests with the information that this wedding is formal.

Contemporary wedding invitations are similar to the classic style as they are also a great choice for a formal wedding. The main difference is that the contemporary or modern style provides more of a laid-back feel than the classic variety. Modern style invitations may contain an illustrated image of a wedding party, palm tree, or even a photo of the bride and groom. If you are not looking for invitations with fun illustrations, there are other options to consider within this category. There are also simple monochromatic invitations that are very similar to that of the classic theme.

If you are planning a destination wedding at the beach, you should not consider using a modern or classic style invitation. A wedding at the beach is very informal and this should be considered when deciding which invitations to utilize. One suggestion is to consider a photo invitation as this allows you to include a photo of the location. This allows your guests to get a sense of what to expect at the ceremony.

Another thing to consider when choosing the theme for your wedding invitations is your budget. Although you can find wedding invitations in all styles no matter what your price range may be, some styles may always be more expensive. Anything that is embossed, includes multiple elements, or is larger than a traditional size may cost more. Remember, although you want your wedding invitations to be reflections of you, you still need to set a budget when making these decisions. If you spend too much on wedding invitations, you may not be able to properly plan the rest of your wedding necessities.

With wedding invitation styles, your personal needs also come into play. Some minimalist styles, although very inexpensive, may not have all of the elements you need for planning your wedding. Consider whether your wedding invitations come with RSVP cards, save the card cards, and return envelopes. Some styles do not include these elements, which mean that you have to order them separately.

There are many styles available when choosing a wedding invitation. When deciding which is best for your wedding, be sure to consider the location, budget and theme. The theme is important as this helps narrow down colors and invitation styles and formality of the ceremony. For example, if you are choosing a destination wedding at the beach during the month of August, you should consider a light blue informal invitation that may also have an image of the ocean.

Classic and contemporary are also excellent choices to consider because they inform your guests of a traditional wedding that is most likely taking place in a formal location. Budget is also an important aspect to consider and this helps narrow down the list of possible invitation choices. Consider these tips when planning your wedding and you should have a better understanding of how to decide the right invitation style for your wedding.

Choosing the Best Beach Wedding Shoes

With so many couples deciding to hold their weddings on a lovely beach, there’s a definite need for the right kind of beach wedding shoes. While the beach can be the perfect venue for a wedding, the bride needs to plan in advance for the right sort of shoes to wear. She’ll need to plan well in advance or she may find herself going barefoot or wearing flip flops. Either way, she’ll need shoes that are water resistant as well as low heeled.

One viable option for beach wedding shoes is slip-ons. These simple shoes work well with the “bare” theme of a beach wedding. They’re also quite easy to add to and accessorize using your wedding colors and theme.

Slip-ons work well due to the bride walking all over dry and wet beach sand. These shoes allow the bride to easily dust off any sand. It also means that sand won’t get stuck between your toes which can be really annoying to clean out. In addition, if you choose to dip your feet into the water, slip-ons allow for fast drying.

Generally, plain white slip-ons are good for beach wedding shoes. White won’t stick out like a sore thumb and have everyone staring at your feet rather than your gorgeous wedding dress. However, colors of gold, silver, or aquamarine will work nicely in small portions. Just go easy on the colors and keep them to a minimum.

It’s pretty to attach some semi-precious gemstones to the strap on the back of the shoes. You can easily get something that fits in with your color scheme. If your dominant wedding color is red, add some synthetic rubies to the slip-ons. You can even arrange them in patterns.

Fabric works really well if you want to cover them in some way. Satin is a great choice, but do try to stay away from leather shoes. It’s a heavy material and doesn’t dry well if it gets wet. On the other hand, synthetic leather is great because it’s waterproof and easier to decorate.

Organic materials such as Abaca are becoming popular in slip-on beach wedding shoes due to the beige color. The simple and natural look works well for a beach wedding. However, if Abaca gets wet, it’s difficult to dry. So if you choose to use Abaca for your beach wedding shoes, also take some synthetic leather slip-ons to wear closer to the water.

Trash the wedding dress session- do you wear a slip?

We’re getting married in Maui and are doing a trash the dress session the following day at the beach. Am I supposed to wear the slip too?
It wasn’t an expensive dress but since I paid for the dress so I’ll be doing what I want with it. And if someone in need can’t afford a dress then perhaps they should look at ebay where you can get one for $99 or not get married at all.

I can see why you’re doing that instead of paying $$$ to fly the gown back home! I can’t imagine what that costs with all the airline fees. I say if you want to also trash your wedding undergarments, then wear those too. if you want to save them to wear again someday, then don’t bother putting them on.

Who to buy flowers for, for our wedding?

We are having a destination beach wedding. Right now I’m trying to find a florist & get quotes. I was wondering who do we buy flowers for? We are having around 20-22 people including bride & groom. I was planning on buying for: bride,groom bridesmaids, groomsman, parents.
I noticed a few wedding websites say we should buy pin on boutonnieres for the grandparents too.
Did you do that? Should we bother wasting the money since there is a very few guest? At that rate…there will be 6-7 people there with our flowers.
Aren’t having center pieces since we are eating at a restaurant. Going to have 4 vases at the hotel on the cake table so I can put my bouquet & the bridesmaids can do the same.

We only organised for ourselves, bridesmaids, groomsman and our parents and I think that is the usual?

Anyone have ideas for a beach theme wedding?

Will be indoor,but I’m clueless on how to decorate the tables.

You can get small shells, sand dollars, and other beachy items to either sprinkle on the tables or put in a vase as a centerpiece. Tropical flowers would look nice as well, either as a centerpiece or tucked into a folded napkin on each guest’s plate.

Beach-themed favors (such as cookies shaped like sea creatures) would be a nice touch. Also, use beachy colors (whites, tans, bright blues and aquas) for table linens.

 sunglasses were invented in China besides came to Europe with Marco Polo. Initially, they were used to hush up one’s eyes further thoughts. It wasn’t until the mid-1700s that they joined hats also umbrellas considering sun cover. In the early 20th Century, sunglasses purely took off with sun-struck beach-goers and, drag the 21st Century, both refuge and rear are equally important.

Modern shades may be marketed under several monikers: “Designer sunglasses” slant the trendiest styles, the highest quality and, usually, the highest price. “Fashion sunglasses” also element eminent style, but without the name-brand emolument. “Sport sunglasses” can be very stylish, but their first off purpose is eye protection and found follows function.

Fostering a Sense of Intimacy in Your Wedding Ceremony

How to Foster a sense of Intimacy in Your Wedding Ceremony

by Maureen Thomson

The word intimate means different things to different people. To some couples, proclaiming their love before anything less than 100 people would be considered an intimate occurrence. For others, anything more than him and her on a secluded beach with an officiant present would destroy that intimate feeling.

No matter what your definition of (and comfort level with) intimacy, there are some tricks you can implement to include elements of intimacy for you and your sweetie before, during and after your ceremony. Unless you’re eloping in a state that does not require a witness to your vows, remember that the ceremony is meant to be a public declaration of your love. Public implies others, and often having others implies a lessening of intimacy—unless you’re a total ham and actually relish the idea of revealing your innermost feelings of love and devotion before your grandfather and your boss.  So you might want to opt for tucking in some private moments where you can on your wedding day.

1. If you’re bucking tradition and seeing each other before the ceremony, consider having an intimate breakfast together. Even better—have it in bed. Over muffins and your last cup of coffee as singles, take a few minutes to connect before the well-intentioned hoards of well-wishers descend upon you.

2. Also in the bucking tradition category (as well as reserved for the truly organized). Consider having your private moment 30 minutes prior to ceremony start time. Get ready separately—totally ready (not ready except for a curler in your hair and no lipstick) and then kick your wedding party out of the bridal changing room (or wherever you happen to be) and allow for 15 minutes alone with your spouse to be. Who says the dramatic moment where he sees you in your dress for the first time has to be at the ceremony? How much more special will that “oh wow!” moment be if it’s shared by just the two of you? Not only will this give you some quiet time together, it will also help diminish ceremony nervousness for both of you.

3. At the start of the ceremony itself, have your officiant step away from you for a few moments to informally welcome your guests on your behalf. This interlude will give you a minute or two to whisper quietly to each other (assuming neither of you is wearing a microphone). You won’t have to pay much attention to what the officiant is saying at this point (you can tune back in when it comes to the “I do’s”) and you can hold hands and exchange a few intimate words meant for each other’s ears only. (Be sure to arrange this with your officiant beforehand.)

4. After the vows, consider exchanging some heartfelt words with one another. Some couples choose to have the officiant step aside while they speak these words in a softer tone of voice—designed only for each other to hear. You might opt to have a short song playing for your guests to listen to during this time. Other couples choose to exchange these words in a more public way (i.e. aloud and allowing their guest to hear) but include some inside jokes and special phrases known only to the other.

5. At the conclusion of the ceremony, take 15 minutes to sequester yourselves somewhere privately. Your guests won’t miss you—especially if they are directed to drinks and hors d’oeuvres in your absence. This 15 minute break—coming on the heels of your pledge of lifelong commitment—will afford you the opportunity to exchange loving words, kiss like crazy (although I strongly recommend you hold off on any additional physical affection until the wedding night—this is about intimacy, not passion, and you’ve still got the reception!) and just decompress as a couple (Holy cow! We’re actually married!)

And if an intimate wedding is a priority for you, remember this obvious rule. The fewer people you have present at your wedding, the greater the amount of intimacy experienced by those who are in attendance (including the bride and groom!). Weddings have a way of taking on a life of their own, so bear in mind that if you want your special day to have a more intimate feel, you should commit to limiting your guest list. While it might be true that “the more, the merrier” the same can be said for “less is best” if your idea of an ideal wedding ceremony leans toward a warm intimate gathering over a wild party.

What’s the approx. price range for a small wedding in Vancouver?

Excluding the dress, if I’m planning to have a small wedding at a public park or a beach, what do you think the approximate price range for that would be? I’m the first of my friends to get married so I just wanted to prepare myself the any financial concerns that may pop up. Thank you!

A beach/public park wedding is a nice and cheap alternative. I would expect with food, dress, and drinks anywhere from $500 – $1,000. It can be cheaper than that if it has to be. Davids Bridal has $99 dress sale. Have your friends/family bring bring and make food. A beach wedding is often free, and even a park rental area isn’t too much. Good luck and congrats!

Many photographers choose to use lots of strobes, lighting equipment. I see it all the time in Austin. I have even seen it outside and in the middle of the day. Although this technique is wildly used; I feel like lighting your subjects naturally using little or NO artifical lighting shows a more in-tune photograph overall. I have seen some wonderful pictures using extra lights and screens however for myself as an old school style photographer, I feel this is too much extra to get something you can obtain without wasting the extra energy of setting up and tearing down equipment. This saves time, money and possibly a rushed client.

My perferred way of doing natural lighting is to start off by working with what light of day you are in. Is it noon, dusk, dawn or night? All of these have wonderful effects on people’s faces, clothing etc. For example:

A bride to be in a white/off-white gown will not only give you natural extra softing light from the reflection of light that bounces off her dress but this will give photographers high key lighting that is sometimes hard to obtain and time consuming using strobes (setting up and tearing down). I have obtained this using natural window lighting inside and outside during dusk hours.

As far as Dawn/ Dusk lighting you can obtain soft orange glow lighting easily without using screens, filters, etc in the wake of using mother nature as your full light source. The sun creates some wonderful and colorful glows of orange, reds, purples, pinks and blues. I have used this in doing nature photographs and silloutes of people and places. Texas has some wonderful sunsets here and are always a great focal point of many nature photographers.

Night photography can be a little tricky and tough to say the least! However, if you use the lighting around you and full moons you can create some nite shots that are to say the least, take your breath away. One technique I have learned and use sometimes is a very very sloow shutter speed and wide open apature setting. Usually keeping your camera open for thirty seconds or more can create light writing, glowing in the moonlight as the waves of the beach come crashing to the shore and you can visibily see all this when the photo is done taking. Very interesting as with no or little lighting you can create fantasy night photos. If you have a bride/groom that is patient and trys this process of maybe dancing into a low lit scene and back out will have a wonderful ghosting image of them which looks like they are trapped in time.

Practing these techniques are a great way to naturally learn how to manipulate your camera and what it sees so that your creations can be one of a kind and have much more of a natural feeling rather than a standard well light photo you see all the time.

Have fun and try these at home today!

Can you recommend a wedding venue on the Texas gulf coast?

Five Fantastic Summer Wedding Bouquet Ideas

Nothing says summer wedding like flowers galore! Flowers are a great way to add romance, color, and beauty to any wedding theme or style. But, you may be wondering what types of flowers will not only fit in with your wedding style, but also what flowers are readily in season to help not only with purchasing, but also with ensuring that you have the exact flowers you want on your wedding day. Well, here are some perfect summer wedding bouquet ideas.

1. If you are trying to make a classy, but elegant statement with your wedding, you should really consider a bouquet of roses. The fun thing about roses is that they come in a variety or colors and are great for an romantic indoor ceremony or a beautiful garden wedding. So, if red roses really aren’t your thing, you may consider a bouquet of bright fuchsia or peach roses to really make that elegant, yet summery statement you might be looking for. Roses also last for a week or two, and are easy to dry and preserve if you are planning to keep your bouquet.

2. If you are having a beautiful summer ceremony on the ninth green or a front lawn ceremony overlooking the ocean, hydrangeas would not only make for a perfect bouquet, but would also add to the romance of the setting. These flowers also come in different shades of blue and green, which are hard floral colors to come by. Hydrangeas also look great on their own, without all the added accent flowers, so if you are looking for a cheaper option for your bouquets, this may be the way for you to go.

3. If you are having carefree and casual summer nuptials, then some bright and cheerful gerbera daisies are just the right bouquet for you. This type of daisy comes in a variety of bright colors such as orange, fuchsia, and yellow and they look great with any bright colored or brown bridesmaids dress, as well as, your beautiful white bridal gown. Like hydrangeas, gerbera daisies look great on their own with a simple bright ribbon to hold them together, and may be another great option if you are trying to save money.

4. If your wedding is going to take place barefoot and on the beach, you should consider playing with the non-floral options that are available to add into any bouquet such as shells and pearls, or you can keep with the simplicity or a beach wedding by sticking with a bouquet of white lilies. Lilies are a simple, but elegant flower that will add to the carefree tone you are trying to set for your big day. You can get them opened or closed, and you should talk with your florist about the best options to help you obtain the look you want.

5. If you are trying to set the vibe for a trendy, city affair, you may want to consider using purple orchids in your bouquet. Orchids are a gorgeous flower, that will add elegance to your gown, but still help you pull off that chic, night-club appeal you may be going for. Consider using them not only in your bouquet, but it every aspect of your decorating to add just the right amount of softness and romance to your theme.

Looking for a wedding location in SW Florida?

My goal is to find an adorable location somewhere in Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, Sarasota, or Bradenton. I found Mixon Garden in Bradenton and LOVE it, but still hunting. We were looking for a beach wedding, but now we are leaning more towards a garden wedding because it seems like they often have a reception area within a short walking distance, where the beach wedding involves driving to a separate location, and renting two differen places. But I need help!

I found a useful tool that gave me all your answers and I will provide the link. You can use this for your future questions regarding venues.

Mt Tamborine Mountain Weddings

Mountain Weddings On Australia’s Gold Coast The Gold Coast really is a beautiful place. Most people know it for its spectacular coastline, sun drenched beaches and world class surf. The Gold Coast ocean certainly is an ideal setting for a beach wedding with sun, sand, venues for the ceremony and reception and guest accommodation all closely tied together. The Gold Coast has an inner heart too though, known as the Gold Coast Hinterland. Mt Tamborine and the Lamington National park are famous destinations of our hinterland and they offer a spectacular mountain alternative for you to consider for your wedding. The views from the peaks are breathtaking, offering mountain ranges and countryside which run all the way to the coastline. From less lofty heights there are hidden valleys and gullies hiding spectacular waterfalls, crystal clear waterholes, beautiful flora and fauna all easily accessible by walking tracks. Surrounded by such amazing natural wonder, your wedding photos will be breathtaking. Your guests also will enjoy the crisp mountain air, every day of the year. During the colder months, the winter fog rolling in will delight them as they warm themselves around an open log fire. In summer they will welcome the cooler air, a relief from the tropical Queensland heat experienced on the coast and in Brisbane. Reception venues are many and varied from the small and intimate, to the large and grand. From winery settings, to churches, estates and wonderful country homesteads. There is an option available for every style of wedding. Given the amazing setting of the Mt Tamborine National Park though, you and your guests will probably want to stay a night or more and take the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful mountain hospitality on offer. If so, your accommodation options also require choice. If you want something small and cozy, one of the mountain villas could be an option, a perfectly luxurious option for the bride and groom. If pampering is on the cards. Try one of the relaxing retreats. This could be a great choice for the bride on the eve of her wedding. There are hotels and motels for groups of guests, homesteads and wineries all offering accommodation for people looking for something specific. Mt Tamborine really is a wonderful venue for a wedding. Have a look at what it offers, you won’t be disappointed.

Beach Wedding

…Of course, there is also the anticipation in being able to celebrate the wedding of your dreams. Every couple wants to celebrate the first day of their togetherness in the best way possible.

This is why the couple must go all the way in bringing about the most perfect celebration on the day of their wedding by picking the perfect theme.

The Beach Wedding Theme

Having a beach wedding is one of the coolest ways to celebrate the special day of the couple when they are finally united as one to spend the rest of their lives together. The beach wedding provides the marrying couple with utmost freedom in their creativity.

For one, the beach can set the perfect setting in this solemn ceremony. The beauty of nature itself is perfect already to give a wonderful background.

The beach can also give you and your guests the feeling of romance and serenity, thereby making your wedding celebration a solemn and loving touch.

Beach Wedding Ideas

Here are some ideas that you can consider to come up with a perfect Beach Wedding Ceremony.

1. Pick the most perfect time of the day that will make you happy. It is best to choose between sunrise and sunset. The sunset can give the most romantic mood while sunrise can provide the most anticipating atmosphere.

Each of these choices will also give the most spectacular backdrop for your wedding pictures and videos. Just imagine a romantic ceremony with the attractive colors of the sun in the background.

2. If you feel like having a fun wedding, the beach will also be a good place to execute the plan. You can come up with a nice beach party that will be able to allow your guests to participate in activities.

Most brides dream of being brought to her groom in a horse-drawn carriage. Some even envision themselves in horseback with their loved one. A beach wedding will allow you to execute these plans.

You can also have programs during your wedding day where people can just feel laid back and unpretentious in the environment that you cannot achieve in hotel wedding receptions.

3. Your beach wedding can be added with other themes that will definitely delight the heart of the marrying couple.

Most of the adventurous ones have ventured on coming up with a pirate wedding. You can have costumes and decorations rented to give the perfect finish to your plan.

The guests can also be given a chance to enjoy some activities like a treasure hunt. After the celebration, sailing off to the waters will definitely give the romantic finale.

4. The beach wedding can also be done during the nighttime and let the couple enjoy a beach party with their closest pals and relatives. This is especially delightful for young couples.

You can celebrate the wedding as you move under the stars and hear the waves of the beach in your ears.

5. You can also have the most intimate and solemn ceremony in the beach. The bride and groom can walk barefoot in the sand and enjoy the simplicity of nature and the company of the closest friends.

6. You can also enjoy so much freedom when it comes to decorations. You can simply let the beach and nature become your own decoration.

At the same time, you also have the option to have fun. You can put up candles, torches, sandcastles and other details that will delight the heart.

7. This beach wedding theme will also give you a wide range of choices for your wedding favors. You can do it Hawaiian style by giving out luaus or some beautiful shells to your guests.

Conclusion

Celebrating with a beach wedding theme will definitely give you the freedom to enjoy your wedding day with the wonders that the beach and nature can provide.

I am having a beach themed wedding next summer…?

I am looking for ideas. We are making our own invitations (message in a bottle) and we are going to be doing our own centerpieces (sand/water/shells/floating candles). We decided that since we are doing a theme, we wouldn’t necessarily stick with a color theme but want to incorporate ocean colors – blues, greens and tan/beige neutrals. What flowers for bouquets would you suggest? What about favors? What other decorations would work? I just don’t know where to start!!

I like the ideas shown on this color palette. Check out the green bouquet.

Honeymoon tips for all inclusive honeymoon packages

Here are some Honeymoon tips to help you choose between all inclusive honeymoon packages. Arguably one of the most flexible options for all inclusive honeymoon packages is cruises. Your cruise option may offer several days at sea combined with 3-4 days at various ports or resorts. There are special romance packages especially for honeymoon couples, some with spa days, special treatment due to your newlywed status and even “extras” in your cabin such as champagne and roses.

There are many cruise lines to choose from depending on your preferences and required locations. It is important to remember that the transportation to your cruise ship is not always included even with all inclusive honeymoon packages. The excellent food and entertainment helps to deliver a relaxing atmosphere to make your cruise more enjoyable. There is probably something for everybody, such as spas, the casino, and evening cabaret, all this fun will make you happy to relax by the pool in the daytime, when you’re not in port.

Activities when in port are dependent on which cruise line you choose, so study all the available options. So the stress of the wedding is now over, it’s now time to enjoy your long awaited romantic all inclusive honeymoon package. Where you both, as a honeymoon couple, decide to venture depends on personal choice, but the most important aspect is that your honeymoon should have all the elements that you both find romantic, as well as leaving you with everlasting special memories. So when looking for honeymoon, packages consider the all inclusive packages that will help take most of the strain out of planning your wedding.

Choosing all inclusive honeymoon packages may save you both time and money, but many honeymoon couples are under the illusion that all inclusive resorts are only present in the Caribbean, which simply isn’t true. All inclusive honeymoon packages are offered in many locations all around the world, including, the United States.

Phuket offers all inclusive honeymoon packages and is one of Asia’s premier tourist locations and activities include everything from golf to cookery classes all within the beautiful scenery of Thailand. There are various other Asian based all inclusive resorts, located in Indonesia, Japan, and Malaysia.

Fiji Resort in Taveuni – If you’ve ever dreamed of staying on your own private island, Taveuni may offer the best honeymoon package for you.  Located in Fiji, an island to the east of New Zealand, this resort is so exclusive it is said that no more than seventeen couples are allowed on the resort island at any one time. You can pack a picnic lunch to enjoy on your very own secluded honeymoon beach. If you’re travelling from the west coast of the USA or Canada, Fiji is in fact closer than some islands in the Caribbean.

What are some cheap but very nice honeymoon places?

We’re looking for a place that is remotely private, but with plenty of things to do; such as restaurants, snorkeling, hiking, site seeing, or something! We want something that is tropical and wont kill our budget. We’ve looked at the Caribbean and Hawaii and those are our main interests but haven’t found anything that is really nice at an affordable rate. We would also like to have a long honeymoon so that is why the price is a big issue. I live in Ga. of the US. and he is currently in Japan but we will most likely be having the wedding on Virginia beach.

Hmm, since he lives in japan, I would have said Australia or New Zealand, because it is the most beautiful snorkeling and waterfront in Australia, and landscape in New Zealand. But South Carolina is a very beautiful place, especially the beach houses. There is plenty of beauty there at the beaches and (even though I am not a beach person) I spent all day relaxing and laying on the surf board in the sun because it is just so relaxing. Check here for state parks and stuff to do: http://www2.thingstodo.com/states/SC/index.htm . I like Folley and Myrtle beach in Charleston, though Folley beach houses are more affordable. I think this is the trip you were looking for

How Candles Can Be Used To Enhance Your Wedding

Somehow candles and romance just seem to go together. When the two of you were dating there was probably a romantic candlelit dinner or two, not to mention all those times you snuggled together listening to music with only the soft glow of the candle in the room. It seems only natural that candles should be a part of the most romantic day of your life. Your wedding.

There are many ways candles can be used to bring romance to your wedding day. They can create just the right atmosphere that you want on that special day. Candles play an important part of most wedding services these days as the couple usually lights a unity candle to show that they are two entities joining to be one. Why not take the use of candles in your wedding service one step further and have a candlelit ceremony.

Placing candles in just the right places in the church will cast a warm romantic glow over the entire ceremony. Speak to your pastor more often than not he will endorse the whole idea. While candlelit ceremonies in churches can be beautiful they add an extra touch to home weddings as well.

Using candles for your wedding service provides an extra feeling of warmth for those winter weddings casting a warm glow that just seems to warm up the entire church and reception as well. There is just something about stepping in out of the snow into a candlelit room that makes everyone feel a warm glow in their hearts.

The Reception

Unless there are fire regulations forbidding their use, candles can be used as an inexpensive and romantic way to decorate the reception hall. They make wonderful centerpieces by themselves, in lanterns, and combined with floral arrangements. Placing three or four pillar candles on mirrors and scattering flowers around the table gives the reception tables an especially romantic and festive air.

Candle lanterns can add an old fashioned air to your traditional wedding reception as well. There are many small candle lanterns in brass, copper, and even cast iron to choose from to give your wedding tables a unique look. There are even some great candles with seashells right in the candle that can enhance a Beach Wedding Theme.

Be sure to carry your candle theme beyond the reception tables themselves. If your wedding feast is buffet style a couple of candle hurricane lanterns placed on the food table will add a nice touch as well as one with your guest book. Although they look and smell great do avoid candles in bathrooms as gauzy sleeves may make such placement a fire hazard.

Wedding Favors

Candles make ideal wedding favors as well. You can choose from tea candles in unique holders, to small pillar and jar candles that the guests can take home with them sharing a little of this most romantic evening. You can give a simple favor by stacking two or three tea candles inside an organza bag and tying it with a pretty ribbon, or a more elegant favor that features a candle and holder in an already boxed set.

Your wedding is the most romantic day of your life, and candles can help express all that romance inexpensively and beautifully.

Your Wedding Ceremony?

When it comes to your wedding services alone, nobody wants to spend an arm and a leg on this and still have to foot the bill for the reception. Really it depends on where you want to your wedding to be and what type of service that you are hoping to have.

There is a way to satisfy all types of weddings as long as you know what your options are. Let’s take a look at the different types of ceremonies that you can choose from that can save you a great deal of money.

Church Ceremony

When you want your ceremony to be in a church, you will often have to pay for the rental and the priest or minister to perform the ceremony.

Some churches will decorate for you while others will not. If this is an issue, be sure to ask first. How much money you will pay for the ceremony will vary and will depend on how the policies of the church.

Here are some tips on how you can save money on a church ceremony.

• Look for a church that offers complete services or all inclusive packages rather than separate fees
• Try to bargain deals for outdoor weddings
• Rent the church alone and hire your own minister
• Have your services on a day where there are no church services because it may be cheaper
• Decorate the church yourself
• Offer to volunteer at the church for awhile in exchange for a discount
• You can save some money by hosting your ceremony in the church basement rather than in the worship center.
• Churches will often offer more inexpensive prices if you are a member of the church.

Outdoor Ceremony

You can save a great deal of money by hosting your ceremony outside like in a beautiful park, at the beach, on a hilltop or even in your yard.

Of course, having the ceremony in your backyard is the cheapest. Here are some of the formalities that go with having an outdoor ceremony that can save you money all around.

• The best way is to have the service in your backyard
• Choose an open public forum that does not generally have a great deal of people trying to access it, and get the right permits etc. beforehand
• Opting for an ordained minister rather than a priest etc. is often cheaper. Just be sure to check that whoever you choose can legally perform wedding ceremonies in your area.
• You can forego the chairs and have the guests standing as long as you host a short ceremony. A nice white or themed linen on the ground for guests to stand on is an elegant touch
• When going with outdoor ceremony, people often opt for the portable arch because it is easy to transport and just as elegant
• Of course, you can always host your ceremony at city hall and save your money for the reception. Record the ceremony and host a viewing during the reception

Outdoor ceremonies open the door to many themes that can greatly reduce the cost of your wedding and reception. Hawaiian themes and beach themes can help you save money on formal wear, and decorations etc. because people having an outdoor wedding are often casually or island dressed.

It makes the ceremony more comfortable for the guests too because they are also dressed casually.

Outdoor ceremonies can immediately switch from ceremony to reception which saves some extra money on travel fees too, such as limos etc. The Hawaiian theme will be a great way to have a luau or pig roast reception.

You might want to consider a theme that lets you have a picnic for your reception party or a beach party or bonfire, but I will get into themes in more detail in a later section.

All of these tips were designed to help you find deals and discounts. You can also choose to have your ceremony at a courthouse or city hall building; record the services and play the recording during your reception instead. It is a nice way to share your vows with your friends and family without spending a fortune on the ceremony.

Wedding Chapel

When most people think of wedding chapels they think of Las Vegas style chapels, but that is not all that chapels are. If you are a religious person, it is very easy to solve the question of a wedding chapel because you can choose to get married in your usual place of worship.

This may be a church, synagogue, mosque or other religious temple. However, if you have not had a religious upbringing, are marrying someone of a different religion or culture, or simply would rather select a different venue, it is important to discover what wedding chapel options are open to you.

If you would still like a ceremony in the style of a particular religion, most chapels have a host of different officiates who can provide the appropriate wedding ceremony to suit your own specific needs.

The majority of wedding chapels are designed in the style of churches. Most couples seek this traditional type of scene, even if they do want a non-denominational ceremony.

Chapels advertise features, such as stained glass windows, oak flooring, historical buildings, chandeliers and more. If you would prefer a modern building, it is possible to find chapels that are less traditional, such as those that are located in art galleries but you will need to research them well if you want to get a good deal.

Wedding chapels come in various sizes, and you must calculate how many guests will require seating at your wedding before committing to a particular chapel.

The majority of chapels seat between a hundred and a hundred and fifty guests, but there is one to suit every size of wedding. In Las Vegas, for example, there are chapels just large enough for the Bride, Groom, officiate and witness.

The location of your wedding chapel is key. There are numerous choices in cities and towns, but you may opt for a more natural or dramatic position. There are wedding chapels located anywhere from the Smoky Mountains to Hawaiian beaches, from Lake Tahoe to Disneyland!

If you have connections to the military, you could consider holding your wedding in a military chapel on a military base. There are long waiting lists for these facilities, but they are usually free (except a charitable donation).

Some facilities offer a choice of chapel depending on your religion, and it is possible to find Protestant, Catholic and Jewish chapels. However, there may be restrictions on decoration or numbers of guests.

There is also a vast array of novelty, or themed, wedding chapels springing up everywhere these days. The first themed chapels originated in Las Vegas, but it is now possible to find outlandish chapel designs anywhere.

Aside from the ubiquitous Elvis chapels, there are options such as a neon wedding at the luminous chapel in New Orleans, or a Cowboy chapel in Nevada. Try to incorporate the theme into other aspects of your wedding, such as your attire, the music and food. Some chapels even supply costumes for the guests which can really make your day a great deal of fun.

Modern Weddings Are Based Upon Customization

Modern wedding planning trends are based upon “customization.” You will want to first decide upon a theme for your wedding. Consider the following 5 reception themes as a start:

• Garden Weddings
• Country Weddings
• Moroccan weddings
• Asian-Style weddings
• Beach weddings

For garden weddings you might use illustrated seed packets to mark tables, cover a table with cool green moss and decorate with small potted herbs.

Country wedding themes could include serving your guests with hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks during dessert and sending your guests home with gifts of mason jars filled with peach preserves.

Moroccan wedding themes may include filling wicker baskets with fruit pates and exotic candy. Decorate with hanging colored-glass lanterns.

Beach weddings – decorate with fish bowls filled with water and floating candles.

Other ideas for your customized wedding may include:

•Send out your invitations in picture frames
•Have a candlelit dessert reception
•Greet your guests with welcome baskets

Welcome baskets have now become a big part of the wedding weekend. Be creative. Think about what makes your town unique. Gather contents early and order containers. Label each basket with the guests’ names and them a basket in their hotel rooms.
Examples of welcome baskets might include:

•Gourmet baskets filled with wine, cheese, biscuits and a corkscrew
•A beach tote with lip balm, sunscreen, flip flops

Planning a wedding can be one of the most time-consuming and “expensive” tasks there are. One way to help you cut costs is to use easy-to-print wedding invitation kits. These kits usually contain about 25 invitations, 50 fold over note cards and coordinating envelopes and available in several different designs. The kits come with step-by-step easy to follow instructions.

Resources online are Masterpiece Studios, and refer to their etiquette guidelines and product templates to help you create invitations that have proper wording and perfect layouts. They also can provide you with matching bulletins, place cards, programs, and stationery.

The most traditional type of a wedding invitation is:

•A vertically folded sheet today measures 5 1/8″ X 7 ¼” most common, which signals a formal occasion
•The most traditional engraving style in America is English Script. Antique Roman is also very popular.

How about something not so traditional?

Especially for the Indian bride is a new way to announce wedding news online at http://iWedCards.com. This is the first interactive multimedia Indian wedding card experience. The collection features interactive invitations with vibrant designs and stunning animation even with traditional Indian music.

If family and friends live all over the globe, traditional paper cards are not always the easiest, fastest or most cost-effective way to reach those you wish to attend your wedding.

Although the iWedCards.com invitation collection is inspired by Hindu traditions, brides and grooms from any culture looking for something different, something cool, or a new and funky way to announce their upcoming marriage are encouraged to take a look at these magically entertaining cards.

Bridesmaids gifts for beach wedding?

Hi,
I have 6 bridesmaids for my October beach wedding. I have three shades of blue as my colors and two girls will wear a color. I was thinking of giving pashmina wraps as gifts since it will probably get chilly out. I was wondering what color to get since they will be in three different shades (a light pool blue, a medium tropical blue, and a deeper marine blue). I thought white at first but I think that would look too stark with all the dresses. I also thought about doing a contrasting blue (so the girls wearing light blue would get dark blue wraps) but I am not sure what to do about the medium blue dresses. Help! Maybe someone has a better suggestion for gifts or is good with colors. PS i do not want to get beach totes! Thanks!

Why not a pearl? Pearls and beaches go hand in hand, and they can wear them at the wedding. A single pearl necklace is relatively inexpensive (get a sterling chain if you want to cut costs), and timeless. http://www.asinglepearlnecklace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/single-pearl-necklace-and-pearl-earrings.jpg

As for the blues…I’m not sure of your color theme, but creme may work better than white (it won’t be as stark). Yellow is opposite blue on the color wheel, meaning it compliments blue nicely. You could find shades of yellow or gold that work well with your other colors. Brown and tan will also go with blues, as will the right gray.

If you still want to keep the theme beachy, you can get monogrammed beach towels with your ladies’ initial (first name may be best if they’re not married, as last names are subject to change). They could be blue to match the dress.

Need help finding a reception hall or ballroom for a wedding?

I’m planing a wedding in the near future and i am looking for a hall or ballroom where my reception can be held. I’m looking for a place that has that vintage feel, want it to be a very art-deco style reception. The MOST important thing I’m looking for is a checkered tile floor! Any one have an idea? We live in Long Beach CA. Thank You for your help!

I don’t know what your budget is but you should check out the Madison Restaurant on Pine Avenue. I don’t remember if they have a checkered floor but the restaurant is beautiful vintage, very high ceilings, Dark wood paneling. You can rent the entire restaurant for your reception or if it is a smaller event they have an event room downstairs.

The Queen Mary is also good for vintage but I found it to be in big need of restoration in the ballrooms.

What to Consider Before You Get Married in Hawaii

Planning to get married in Hawaii? You will need to devote a lot of time and effort to prepare for your dream destination wedding. Of course, you want a perfect wedding in a perfect location. The following are several things to consider before you say your “I do” in Hawaii.

·         Weather. Summer months are preferred by many couples for Hawaii weddings. However, the sunny weather tends to be humid, which can be uncomfortable if the bride is dressed in a long gown and the groom in a tuxedo. A late afternoon wedding ceremony during summer months is the ideal weather for a Hawaii wedding.

·         View of sunset in Oahu. What makes an Oahu wedding very memorable is the charming backdrop of sunset, making Oahu a great wedding location in Hawaii. You get the best view of the sunset during winter months. If you schedule your wedding in summer, the beach location should face the West so that the sun can be seen setting over water.

·         Legal requirements. You will need to meet certain legal requirements before you can get a marriage license. Know these requirements before you get married to avoid legal problems in the future.

·         Wedding packages. Choose a great Hawaii wedding package that best suits your taste and needs. Look for extra features or offerings that will make your dream wedding a reality.

·         Unusual ceremony. What’s the use of going to Hawaii if you’re going to be wed in a traditional chapel? Oahu weddings can be held at exotic yet lovely locations such as a hilltop with a view of the Pacific Ocean or a rainforest under a waterfall.

Make my own beach wedding favors?

I want to do my own wedding favors. The theme is a beach wedding, with lots of sandcastles and shells.
I don’t want to do anything involving sand in a bottle because I did message in a bottle wedding favors.
I was thinking of knitting my own home made wedding coasters, but I think that would take forever.
It is a small wedding, only 30-45 guests.
What do you all suggest??
Where would I get the cookie cutters in the sandcastle designs????
message in a bottle wedding INVITES**

Saltwater taffy and a charitable donation.

Add a few homeade cookies shaped like a sand castle or shells and inclue the recipie on how to make the cookie. Come up with a signature blend…for instance peanut butter cookies with white chocolate chips and pecan (HTB loves those) Have the typical ones like the oatmeal rasin, choc. chip, sugar. Provide little bags and those mini milks like you get in the school caffeteria as a snack for the guests to take home.

Make sure somewhere you have suntan lotion available so people don’t burn…perhaps you can buy the travel sized ones and put them with the taffy?

Edibles on the beach are tricky because you don’t want the them to melt.

Where are good beach wedding locations in Northern California?

I’m getting married next September, my fiance and I are having a hard time finding a location for the ceremony (of roughly 150 people). We want somewhere grassy overlooking the beach in Northern California. We are leaning more toward state owned property, that we can get a permit for. The locations we have looked at so far that are restaurants/golf clubs are far too pricey for us. If anyone has any ideas I’d love to hear them, I’m getting desperate!!! Thank you!

There is this place in Jennar (off of Hwy 1) it has a grassy area on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It is a bed and breakfast and just gorgeous! I honeymooned there. If you want, i could e-mail you a picture of it!

There is also a lighthouse down HWY 1 that is gorgeous and has everything you describe also in what you want.

Also, Bodega Bay is a great place, it is beautiful in that area in general.

Good Luck and e-mail me if you want those pictures or the name of the lighthouse, i would have to look up the name.

EDIT: Did you get the pictures? What did you think?

Beach Weddings – From Planning to Wedding Perfection

Many young brides and grooms are now more open to travel and having non-traditional marriages. Beach weddings are among the popular choices these days. Marriage ceremonies nowadays veer away from tradition and are now more about showing off the personalities of the bride and the groom. This makes the details of such marriages more interesting

Beach weddings and its dreams

Beach weddings are often destination marriages. The planning stage really entails a lot of time, effort and great attention to detail.

Beach weddings start with bagging the perfect location. It is important that brides and grooms discuss this in full detail. Some points to consider when going for beach weddings are the distance that the guests have to travel. It is a good idea to send notices of the marriage ceremony in advance. It is important to consider if guests will be willing to travel at all to the beach destination.

Welcome baskets filled with useful tokens such as slippers, toiletries add a warm, personalized touch and will make the guests feel really special. Not only do these little things add to the excitement of the occasion,they will help the marriage guests feel how much the bride and the groom love and appreciate how all the guests went out of their way just to help the couple celebrate their special day and that the time and effort they spent is so much worth it.

Non-Traditional, Tropical Ceremony

For beach weddings, ceremonies are usually non-traditional and more laid-back than having marriages done in churches or hotels. Couples may want to consider whether they would want to fly in their favorite minister or priest that they’ve known since their childhood. Couples should decide this early on the planning stage because this is one of the most important details of the marriage.

Local Marriage Ceremony suppliers

For the other details of the marriage such as the setup, the flowers and the food, it is always wiser to go with whatever the destination has on hand. This is to avoid spoilage, avoid bigger costs due to having to ship supplies from one place to another, cancellations, and the non-appearance of suppliers. This is very true when it comes to choices for food and flowers. There are flowers that grow only on certain places and under certain weather conditions. The sooner the bride and groom come to terms with this reality the better they will be able to plan. If the bride prefers to have her makeup done by somebody in particular, it is important to book the supplier in advance and inform the makeup artist that the marriage is to be held at a faraway destination. It is important to discuss details such as travel expenses and other important matters.

For beach weddings or all destination marriages for that matter, learning to compromise is key. This is especially true when holding marriages at faraway exotic locations. There might be some details that are just not doable, impossible or not available. The bride and groom will have to realize that not everything is under their control and no matter how well beach weddings are planned, sometimes, things don’t always turn out the way they are expected to.

How do I have my wedding ceremony on the beach?

My fiance and I want to get married on the beach and need some tips on how to go about this, considering Orange County beaches are public. We don’t care that there might be people, not part of our wedding, walking around, but we would like to bring an arch and some chairs. We would also like to specify a lifeguard station number to our guests.

You need to contact the beach commission or county parks department. They may have restrictions on locations and also may require permits. Some beaches do limit whether you can bring an arch and chairs.

Here may be somewhere to start: http://www.ocparks.com/coastalparks/

Congratulations and best wishes.

Beach Wedding Ceremony Ideas

Choosing a Wedding Date Among the Four Seasons

Choosing a wedding date depends on many factors. One way of deciding is choosing your favorite season of the year. Each season offers its own style and flavor to a wedding. The time of the year you will get married will surely affect the approach and styles you will apply in planning the wedding of your dreams. This will include selecting the ideal ceremony location, the appropriate flower arrangements and other important aspects of the wedding.

Whatever type of wedding you desire; there will definitely be a season best for you. There is always the possibility of having part of the celebration outside especially if its summer or spring. Just imagine all the moments captured in the wedding videography as you recite your wedding vows against a scenic lake or a snow covered mountain. Just remember to have an alternative plan if ever Mother Nature decides to take control.

There are numerous reasons to get married in autumn. The richest colors are often seen in the fall season. The weather is mild and crisp creating spectacular scenery. Gold and copper theme is what comes into mind during this season. Flowers are rich in colors like purples, yellow and reds. Wedding decorations have an earthy feel around it as the wedding ceremony is ornamented with autumn flowers and wreaths. The wedding decoration can also include apples and pears because these seasonal fruits are available all year round.

A winter wonderland wedding can be the ideal set up for your wedding. It creates an ambiance of romance as snow falls outside during the exchange of wedding vows. This will definitely be an indoor event either in a romantic villa or hotel. The wedding decorations can include red and golden candles with winter blooms of tulips, snowdrops and white geisha. Winter fruits that can be enjoyed are cherries and apricots. Fewer people get married during this season which allows you to get better location choices. Hotels are beautifully decorated for the season, so you will be able to save on that feature but still enjoy a joyful affair. Traditionally, families gather during the holiday which is another benefit in planning your wedding at this time.

June is considered the best month to marry. One reason for this is that this is the first month of predictable good weather. Roses are usually in full bloom during this month. The summer months also mean the sun and the sea. During this time, beach themed weddings are popular. There are many available beach resorts that can make your dream Beach Wedding Ceremony a reality. But getting married in summer can pose a lot of challenges too. Wedding locations and vendors are usually in high demand during these months. It is a good idea to plan every detail and book wedding services ahead of time.

Spring is the time for birth and renewal. This season will provide you with beautiful gardens, abundant with different kinds of roses and blooms. Fruits available for this time of year are peaches and passion fruits. Pastels colors will work best for the whole wedding entourage. Pick colors like lilacs, baby blues, blushing pinkand sandy gold. These magnificent colors of spring will surely be captured in your wedding videography.

Choosing a wedding date on a particular time of the year can definitely set the atmosphere for your wedding whether it may be a winter wonderland or a beach wedding. Just remember that whatever season you choose, it really does not matter as long as you and your fiancé are able to enjoy your special day together.

Justin Etzin

It all started in Hong Kong

Justin Etzin’s childhood was less ordinary than most. Born in Hong Kong, raised in the Seychelles and educated in Britain, he always stood out among his peers.

Justin Etzin lived in Hong Kong, with a cook, cleaner and chauffeur. Justin remembers his parents always stressed the good fortune of his upbringing: “I dressed myself and tidied my own room, when I could have just sat about like a little prince. My parents always reminded me of what I had to lose. I have never wanted my family’s money because, when money comes too easily, it can go just as easily. So I decided to work for myself – and work very hard.” He lived between Hong Kong and The Seychelles, where his father was made the Hon Consul to Seychelles from Hong Kong appointed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Justin spent his early years between Australia, Hong Kong and The Seychelles, and then moved to the United Kingdom when he was eight years old.

The Late Bernard Etzin

Justin Etzin always had a lot to live up to. His father Bernard Jacob Etzin was born in Japan in 1930, the son of a silk exporter from Lithuania, he became, at the age of 15, part of the American army’s advance team in Hiroshima, ten days after the atomic bomb had been dropped on the city. He worked both as an interpreter and personal assistant to General Eisenhower. When he was 17, he arrived in New York with only $1.10 in his pocket. With three Japanese brothers named Yasui, he set up a company making sewing machines. Today, the Brother International Corporation is an empire selling a variety of goods in 150 countries which turns over annually $1.5 Billion US dollars.

He went to prep school in London, and took great interest in the artistic side of life. He was in the gymnastics team, the UK Fencing team and he excelled in Art and Acting. He went on to join Sylvia Young theatre School as well as Andrew Lloyd Webbers charity productions and ended up with leading parts in productions in the West End.

Justin Etzin was 12, and living in Knightsbridge in London, when he started his first business, car washing, targeting customers of Harrods and other local stores who parked on meters close to his house. He bought three T-shirts and had justin’s carwash printed on the front. He ran the business after school and on the weekends and he employed friends who he paid by the hour. By just 13, he was running a market stall on the Kings Road in London selling the latest gadgets that he imported specially from Hong Kong.

While at Bedales public School in England, Justin Etzin was involved in various sports, was secretary of The Wine Society and took a great interest in arts and crafts. He was nominated and named Head of the Year, but his real passion was his charity involvement and in particular his flair for raising money to help different causes. He earned a Gold Nose for his endeavors during one of the first Comic Reliefs, a prize that was given to Justin directly by the founder of The Charity, Comedian Lenny Henry. Justin had spent hours washing a fire engine and even sitting in a bath in a shop window in London all in the name of Charity.

Amnesty International

His position of Chairman of Amnesty International at School allowed him free reign to raise money for a cause he believed in, but to also set up and run the school “tuck shop” in the way that he knew would be the most profitable. Expansion, longer opening hours and a larger variety of stock. He set about raising money for the Charity, running the school “tuck shop” selling all those necessary creature comforts that teenagers miss whilst away from home. 100% of all the profits were donated to Amnesty International and money was used to raise awareness of the charity. Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all. Justin was outraged by human rights abuses but inspired by the chance to be able to work to improve human rights through campaigning and letter writing. He use to buy stamps and writing supplies so that letters could be written out by pupils and sent pleading for the release of prisoners of conscience, as well as for fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and those locked up without a trial at all.

Whilst at boarding school in the English countryside, in the days before mobile phones, Justin was on his way to his first million using the school pay phone as his only business tool. As technology developed, he remembers he was the first pupil in school who had a mobile phone. Often confiscated by teachers purely to see how one worked, it wasn’t before too long that the teachers accepted the idea and allowed him to continue to grow his little empire.

But it was the rewards of success and his ability to help others through his different businesses that inspired him to succeed. Whilst just 14 years old and still at boarding school, he founded a now legendary youth entertainment company Capital VIP, which catered for teenagers from public schools across the UK. Described by the press as “The most exclusive Teenage Parties in the World”. The sons and daughters of Politicians, celebrities, and even British and foreign Royalty attended and purchased tickets for his famous parties. Headlines hit around the World when Princess Dianas son, Prince William attended his famous parties, soon followed by then Prime Minister Tony Blairs Son, Euan Blair. Through incredible marketing skills he managed to get teenagers from 170 schools across the country all to attend his parties, and make the party company the most successful under 18 brand at the time. By the time he finished school he retired from the youth entertainment business and sold the company.

Oxford, England

He went on to attend Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, UK, where he studied Business and Law. He was a member of the Economics Club and The Oxford Rowing Club. Etzin was also active in tennis, swimming, skiing, horseback riding, and cycling, as well as a part of the UK vaulting gym team. Deciding after just one term to return to London to concentrate on his businesses, Justin opted for the university of Life and continued with his businesses.

By 18 he developed a passion for International Business and London Night Life

By 18 was now old enough to be running the top nights at some of London’s trendiest night clubs, including Browns, China White, and Cafe de Paris. The cutting edge events attracted the jet set, the fashion and film crowds from all over Europe and was the place a celebrity was to be seen if visiting London. Music artists such as Madonna, Prince and Puff Daddy attended regularly and even asked Justin Etzin to organize their private Birthday Parties. Film stars like Cuba Gooding Jr, Wood Harrelson, Nicole Kidman, and even Sports stars like Michael Jordan pitched up to experience the events whenever they visited London. Top International Models from around the world visited Justin’s Club nights and also held their own parties organized by Justin Etzin.

He went on to set up a multitude of different businesses in Europe. He was the first importer of the now legendary tiny Mercedes Smart Car sourced in Europe and marketed to the UK proving to Mercedes Benz how lucrative the UK market was when they had launched everywhere in Europe but had ruled out the UK due to what they thought was lack of demand. Justin Etzin was ahead of his time, proved them wrong and marketed the car as a fuel efficient green car and sold over 100 units in a matter of months. His passion for cars took him across the world on over five Gumball 3000 Celebrity Rallys. His driving partners included childhood friend Entrepreneur Lord Edward Spencer Churchill, and former girl friend Actress Alexandra Aitken. He even went on to set up a Specialist Car Rental company, providing vehicles to the film and entertainment industry with locations in London and Los Angeles.

Underlying all of these projects was Justin’s innovative eye for new opportunities and drive to make the projects a success.

Whilst still in his early twenties, he had businesses from the first Black Tie Restaurant food delivery company serving food from the most exclusive restuarnts in London direct to your door. A Cigarette and Cigar Club importing and delivering to members around Europe taking advantage of EU rulings allowing free trade within EU states. He published a magazine, owned a water sports centre, and even a PR and Corporate Events company that catered to a variety of Blue Chip Companies.

Due to his love of the arts and the film world he set up a film location and Events location company which provided locations for HollyWood Movies like Woody Allens first ever UK film, Match Point and TV series like Footballers Wives and Holly Oaks. Locations were provided all over Europe and even in far flung remote places of the world.

Altitude 360

Justin Etzin founded Altitude 360, with the first of the franchises based in London. Described as London’s most exclusive event space, Altitude 360 has over 8300 Sq Ft of event space offering incredible views in the heart of Westminster, London. Officially opened by The leader of the Conservative Party, The Rt Hon David Cameron in September 2007.  Altitude 360  specializes in providing modern corporate space to the business community. The ultimate location for corporate entertaining with the Ultimate Backdrop, Meetings, Product & Press Days, filmed Interviews, photographic shoots or a plethora of other corporate uses. Certain private functions are also held there, including upscale weddings and big budget private parties and charity gala events.

The UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown launched British Tourism Week at Altitude 360 in 2008 which gave added credibility to the importance of this now important London landmark venue.

Foreign Politicians have also realized the value of the Altitude 360 brand. When USA Presidential Nominee John McCain visited London, he chose Altitude 360 for his only UK interview explaining why he was the right person for the most important office in the world. Altitude 360 provided the best location for the live filmed interview as well as the necessary security that the Iconic Millbank Tower provides.

In October 2008 plans were unveiled for Altitude 360 expansion, which will allow 360 degree views from the Altitude venue. The Mayor of London, Mayor Boris Johnson officially launched the concept and publicly paid tribute to Altitude 360 for its support in helping him become Mayor of London. He thanked Altitude 360 for the Vote in Confidence in London by doubling its size and becoming the Largest Venue in London with such Iconic Views.

The launch of The River Room as part of The Altitude 360 family has been a meticulous thought out process for both Justin and his team. As brand Manager of Altitude 360 and The River Room, the adaptation of a new venue as part of an existing brand was challenging to say the least. The River Room, London opened its doors in July 2009 to become Londons most sophisticated event space.  

His Venues in London combined are now the largest Riverside Venues In London, known simply as Altitude 360 and The River Room.

Together they now have a square footage at over 15,000 SqFt, with stunning, 360-degree views of the London skyline as well as direct views at River Level. Situated by the Thames, with function rooms on the 2nd  and the 29th floor of Westminster’s Millbank Tower. The two main rooms can now hold up to 1200 between them or 600 in each space.  The space offers two cinema / auditoriums at River Level holding 300 and 200 respectively.  At the skyline level there is the possibility of having over 8300 SqFt of open space or a multitude of different spaces that are created by hi tech electric walls that neatly divide the rooms into elegant individual spaces each with their own unique views. A great blank canvas potential, plus hi-tech facilities such as twelve 60 inch state-of-the-art plasma screens, which can be linked to a roving camera for live video feeds. The venue’s expansion ensures it will remain as one of the top choices for event organisers in the city.

Further Altitude 360 locations are planned for Paris, Geneva, and New York, whilst the franchised concept now operates as a franchise opportunity in countries across the world.

Justin Etzin founded Salt & Pepper Private Food Design providing catering to numerous high end venues. The concept was simple, offering exquisite food for events from Michelin Star trained Chefs. The first franchise was based in “Londons Larder”, New Covent Garden Market. Salt & Pepper London uses the finest & freshest ingredients from suppliers literally on their doorstep. He franchised the concept and Salt and Pepper now operates as a franchise opportunity in countries across the world.

The 40 acre estate is nestled amongst the granitic rocks shelves in the middle of the Morne Blanc national park. The twenty eco residences will have extensive grounds, with mountain spring water feeding each property & with unrivalled sea views of the Seychelles National park & inner islands.

His Personal Life & Interests

Affordable Wedding in Hawaii (not on beach!)?

I’m set on marrying in Hawaii, as I’ve been before and it’s beautiful. Seems that most people want to marry ON the beach there though, whereas I would like a grassy area overlooking the beach/ocean OR a chapel that does the same. Problem is, everything I’m finding is way too costly. I’m only looking to have the ceremony, not even a reception, yet I’m finding in order to have the normal ceremony things included (music, minister, flowers, photos, video, chairs etc) it’s $5k-$8k+. I’m only having 12 people or less there and really only wanting to spend $3k on the ceremony itself, as the flight & hotel & dinner are all going to be costly too! Does anyone know of any NICE places like I am looking for, that have packages including all of those things for that price?? Or is it as impossible as it now seems? I appreciate any help!

My hubby and I went through http://www.wedaloha.com…We got married “on the beach” but in reality we were up on a grassy area overlooking the ocean and under some palm trees (Waialae beach), which actually made it so much prettier than just “in the sand”…But they also work with other sites that are less beachy if that is your preference. They are very affordable, and so professional and the pictures are amazing.

Best of luck in your planning and congratulations!

The park was designed by WED Enterprises similar to Disneyland Park in California. It is the only park in Disney World Resort that has 2 hotels inside, the Disney Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Polynesian Resort.

Families can also experience a replica of a real studio at Disney Hollywood Studios. It is another theme park represented by a sorcerer’s hat. It lies on a 135 acres land size which showcases a theme of the drawing inspiration from Hollywood heyday in 1930′s and 1940′s. It was opened on May 1, 1989 with approximately 9.51 million guests, ranking it as the fourth-most visited park in US.

The Magic Kingdom consists of six themed areas just like in a real motion picture studio. Attractions include the Echo Lake, Animation Courtyard, Pixar, Streets of America and Sunset Boulevard.

A Beach Wedding Guide to Find the Perfect Location

Whether you are planning a traditional wedding, or you want to exchange your vows on the sandy shores, it takes a lot of work to pull it all together. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a beach wedding guide to find the perfect location for your wedding?

Most people think of the Caribbean Islands when they think of beach weddings. The blue waters and warm tropical climate along with the beautiful views and sightseeing options makes the islands a great place to get married, but this is not your only option. From California to Florida, you can plan the perfect beach wedding without leaving the United States.

When planning a destination wedding, there are many things to consider such as the cost for others to attend, the laws of the state regarding how many witnesses you need, and if permits are needed to exchange your vows as well as the need for passports.

Many don’t know the first thing about planning a wedding, let alone a wedding on the beach. This is where a beach wedding guide can be a tremendous help. If you don’t have money to hire a wedding consultant, your guide can help answer questions that would otherwise take tremendous research or numerous phone calls to get the information you need.

There are a number of wedding guides available, but they are not all created equal. Many are quite costly and provide you with limited information that you could have obtained online yourself. A beach wedding guide should be informative and easy to read. It should provide appropriate information to answer questions, not send you out to do more research. Take a look at all the rest, and then come back to the best beach wedding guide.

20 Great Things To Do In Miami

1. Indulge in sheer pleasure on South Beach

South Beach, surf capital of Miami is the place to enjoy yourself. The scene certainly lives up to the stereotype of Miami. You’ll find surfers catching the waves in a turquoise ocean, models sauntering along golden sands and rollerbladers gliding down Ocean Drive. Hyper-tanned celebrities rub oiled shoulders with hipsters in the sidewalk cafés, designer boutiques, lounge bars and dusk-til-dawn clubs. They make this a perfect place for chilling out after browsing through the World Erotic Art Museum. Among the quintessential hangouts are the Nikki Beach Club and the Opium Garden, while great restaurants include Joe’s Stone Crab, which is known for its legendary lime pie.

2. Feel like a flapper on Art Deco Ocean Drive

Forget the sand: take a stroll around the art deco buildings on South Beach to catch its golden era of architecture. Here you’ll find a glamorous array of hotels, which grew up when a theatrical style swept the design world in the 20s. Crowded along Ocean Drive are the best of these giddy individuals. Park Central Hotel and the Imperial, designed by New Yorkers Henry Hohauser and L Murray Dixon, feature bold bands of colour and window ‘eyebrows’, characteristic of this flamboyant style. This is the ideal place to start off exploring the Art Deco District, which contains over 800 buildings from the 1930s and ’40s. Visit the Art Deco District Welcome Center for self-guided audio tours.

Miami Car Rental

3. Spruce up your home decor in the Design District

If you fancy giving your home a facelift, then the Design District is the place to visit. Once a pineapple grove, the area evolved into Decorators Row during the building boom of the 1920s, when home-design stores occupied this space. Among the high-end showrooms is Holly Hunt (3833 NE 2nd Avenue, at NE 38th Street, 305 571 2012), with deluxe furniture and interior designs by Rose Tarlow, Christian Liaigre and Wendell Castle. And European kitchen-cabinet maker Bulthaup (3841 NE 2nd Avenue, at NE 38th Street, 305 573 7771) sells reproductions of mid-century modern classics here. Making the most of the Design Art trend are a number of galleries. Established names include Daniel Azoulay (3900A NE 1st Avenue, at NE 39th Street, 305 576 1977) and Barbara Gillman (414 NE 2nd Avenue, at NE 41st Street, 305 573 1920), which show internationally acclaimed artists.

4. Light up your Cubans in Little Havana

Visit Little Havana for a taste of Cuba. Miami Cubans are incredibly proud of this neighbourhood, even if they don’t live there. Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street) and the surrounding area are testimony to the American dream followed by the hundreds of thousands of Cubans who fled to Miami after Fidel Castro came to power in 1959. Here, you’ll find many restaurants and shops that are replicas of their ones back home. The Mediterranean-style houses with rocking chairs on the porch, fragrant air of tobacco wafting from cigar stores and hum of Latin music from record shops collude to maintain the illusion.

5. Have a Sex and the City moment

For those jaded by the preening crowds on Ocean Drive, the hippest place to visit is Lincoln Road Mall. Designed by iconic architectural guru Morris Lapidus in the 1950s, when it was dubbed the ‘Fifth Avenue of the South’, it’s now simply known by locals as the ‘Road’. Wall-to-wall sidewalk cafés, clubs and cultural venues stretch along its length (from Washington Avenue to Alton Road), looking glamorous thanks to a $16-million facelift. You could imagine the girls from ‘Sex and the City’ clicking their heels around its stylish boutiques. Among the best cafés are the Van Dyke and Balans. Highlights include the glam gay nightspot, the Score, the Lincoln Theater, home of the New World Symphony, and the Regal South Beach Stadium 18 movie theatre.

6. Step into a fairytale at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

The sight of the Italian Renaissance-style Vizcaya Museum & Gardens on the Biscayne Bay is straight out a fairytale book. It’s bizarre to discover a European-style palace in this beach lovers’ paradise, but visiting it is like entering a wonderland. Built for Chicagoan industrialist and Europhile James Deering in the 20th-century, the extravagant architecture conceals an opulent interior. Full of European antiques and decorative works from the 16th to 19th centuries, and complete with original fittings, it will whisk you away to a golden age. It’s a popular wedding destination.

7. Dine in style at a classic Miami restaurant

In a city of glamour, the beautiful people need a grand stage on which to eat, so you can enjoy some fantastic dining experiences. The 19th-century Parisian façade of The Forge conceals a glitzy interior that is a rococo lover’s dream. The steakhouse once hosted the likes of Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Richard Nixon. It still has an 1822 Château Lafite Rothschild worth $150,000 to prove its star quality. Decadent wines accompany steak and fish dishes, and there’s a healthy spa menu for the calorie conscious. The Wednesday night club scene at this venerable place calls to mind the soap opera ‘Dynasty’.

8. Plot your great escape at Key Biscayne

The Key as the locals call Key Biscayne may not be as pretty as Miami Beach or attract as many beautiful bodies, but it compensates for this lack of superficial beauty with its serenity. The northernmost island in the Florida Keys, its life began as an exclusive resort in the early 1900s and it attracted the US president Richard Nixon in the 1970s, when he bought a home here. Despite rising property prices, it has maintained a tranquil air. With little nightlife or shopping, the lure for visitors is nature: there are pristine beaches, two waterfront parks, a cycling path and gorgeous views of Miami. On the east Crandon Park has barbecue and picnic areas for family trips, while at the tip of the island there is good swimming in the 400-acre park of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Recreation Area.

9. Get real with funky, fresh food

There’s more to American food than 24-hour diners and burgers in Miami. Here, you’ll find unique restaurants serving fresh American food. In the South Beach area, Barton G serves fabulous cuisine funked up with presentations that include popcorn shrimp and grilled sea bass in a brown paper bag. A superb Caesar salad comes complete with a cheese-grater and for the grand finale, a plume of cotton candy reminiscent of Dame Edna’s wig is served. For those who prefer a light meal, the hip hangout Segafredo is a great option. Here, you can eat tasty sandwiches, salads, carpaccios and desserts while lounging on comfy upholstered chairs and listening to a soundtrack of cool lounge music all day long.

10. Loosen those purse strings at designer shops

In Miami, you’ll find great shopping malls, with designer stores and boutiques to cater for every fashion whim. South Florida’s newest upscale mall, the Village of Merrick Park has three open-air storeys with 115 shops and boutiques, including the area’s only Burberry, plus Diane von Furstenberg, Etro, Gucci, Jimmy Choo and Sonia Rykiel. The best all-rounder Aventura Mall has all the big department stores, such as Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s. To purchase top-end T-shirts with grand embellishments visit Rebel. Long Island hipsters flock here for jeans and other items from Ya-Ya, Juicy Couture, Vince and Sass & Bide.

11. Go wild at the Carnaval Miami

Miami needs no excuse to party: from the traditional to the tacky, the city is fast on its feet when it comes to celebrations. For ten days each spring (in early March), Latino Miami struts its stuff with a vibrant array of beauty pageants, sports, concerts and international foods at Carnaval Miami (www.carnavalmiami.com). There are culinary competitions, galas and an upscale Latin jazz festival. The grand finale is Calle Ocho, a 23-block street festival in Little Havana, which is the largest block party in the world. Over a million watch live entertainment on 30 stages featuring salsa, merengue and Caribbean music.

12. Shop with the stars

In Miami, you can spot celebrities shopping for designer gear and pick up items in vogue with the stars. When Janet Jackson heard that Beyoncé was shopping at Poltrona Frau in the Design District she made a beeline for some Peter Marino sofas. At Bal Harbour Shops, Jennifer Lopez has been known to walk into Gucci and splash a few thousand dollars on goods. You’re most likely to see Britney Spears and Paris Hilton splurging in South Beach stores such as Atrium. Further south, rappers like Diddy, Usher and Kanye West might park their Rolls-Royce Phantoms in front of Intermix to buy some Stella McCartney threads.

13. Cure your ale-ments

Are you sick of sipping on candy-coloured martinis in glitzy bars and restaurants? Do you fancy spending a low-key evening chatting to locals over a pint of beer? Then, why not go back to basics at the hole-in-the-wall turned microbrewery, Abbey on South Beach. It offers European imports as well as several own-made beers. Despite its upgrade to a brewery, it still has the soul of a class dive-bar. This place has tons of atmosphere, a dartboard and is teeming with locals who you can try and chat up. Watch out for drunken arrowists.

14. Buff up at the beach

In Miami, why waste time in the gym when you can enjoy the outdoors while getting buff on the beach? With the sun, sea and scenery, sandy sports might not even seem like exercise. For an easy workout, grab a paddleball set or Frisbee at any store on the South Beach, join a game of soccer or round up a volleyball team. For the thrill of wave riding, hire an instructor at Florida Surf Lessons (www.floridasurflessons.com). Kick up the power a few notches at the South Beach Bootcamp, where a personal trainer will take you through a rigorous programme. But if that’s too intense, then mellow down at a sunset yoga class.

15. Glam up for clubbing

Miami often gets a reputation for its cookie-cutter nightclubs. But there are a handful of glamorous, individual bar-clubs on South Beach, where you can live it up well into the night. The dusky, chandelier-lit Florida Room mixes old-school décor with the aesthetic of a swanky cruise-ship, attracting everyone from young hipsters and chic sophisticates to Golden Girls clones on a fancy night out. Cameo is a renovated art deco movie theatre that’s a premier venue for superstar DJs. It’s popular with a mod squad of glamazons and scenesters. Dress to get noticed here.

16. Listen to the grape vine

A city hasn’t arrived until it can boast a selection of swanky wine bars and Miami has certainly embraced its inner wino. Cefalo’s is a wine emporium with a difference: it’s a chilled Coconut Grove hangout run by a former Dolphins player, which sells 2,000 wines by the bottle and around 40 varieties for sampling. As well as the bar and shop, it hosts tastings and classes, and its eaterie serves Italian cuisine. The first wine bar to open on the beach was Vino Miami, a sleek lounge with a sophisticated wine list and moreish menu of cheeses. For an intimate venue head to W Wine Bar in the chichi Design District or go by the reviews and stick to Wine 69, voted the city’s best wine bar by the Miami New Times.

17. Live your reel life dreams

South Florida has the stuff of cinematic fantasy: neon glamour, quasi-tropical vistas and buff bodies. It’s no surprise that those in the dream business, film-makers, adore making movies here. Since the days of ‘The White Rose’ in the 1920s, the motion picture industry has engaged in a heady love affair with the city, and you can spot clues to its movie stardom. The nightlife of Miami Beach has appeared in several films, including the 1964 Bond outing ‘Goldfinger’, and its gangsta-rapping features in Brian De Palma’s remake of ‘Scarface’. A hair-raising scene from ‘There’s Something About Mary’ is played out at the Cardozo Hotel, and there’s a big starring role for the Carlyle Hotel as a gay club on the flamboyant South Beach in ‘The Birdcage’.

18. Release your inner child

For those with children, and fun-loving adults, the Miami Children’s Museum is the ideal place to visit. With a futuristic design by the stellar architecture practice Arquitectonica, it’s an exciting playground with many interactive displays. You can discover a colourful, mosaic-tiled sandcastle, a teddy-bear exhibit and a television studio. Children under-five can have an adventure in a sea room and enjoy more mundane exhibits: a bank with teller stations and fake cheques, a supermarket with checkout lanes and police motorcycle and fire truck. A visit here will be an endless source of delight for young ones.

19. Get to the art of the matter at Art Basel Miami Beach

Miami Beach is better known for kitsch than fine art, so it seemed odd that organisers of Switzerland’s sophisticated Art Basel would choose Miami for its first American sortie. And yet it has been an amazing success: it draws galleries and dealers from around the globe, and showcases the work of more than 1,000 artists and over 200 galleries in the main fair alone. Being in Miami, this is an art fair with a difference: showbiz culture and celebs are part of the equation. Spotting stars buying art and seeing them again at exclusive galas adds to the fun. There are a number of satellite fairs including the NADA fair, Pulse and Design Miami. Galleries hold special shows, South Beach clubs host art parties and restaurants offer specials. This event is all about drinking cocktails on the sand while chatting about alfresco art. For information, visit www.artbaselmiamibeach.com.

20. Discover a rustic paradise

If you’ve had enough of the sun and surf, the farm fields around Homestead make for a bucolic break. The Fruit & Spice Park is the only garden of its kind in the United States, a 30-acre park exhibiting over 500 varieties of fruits, veggies, spices, herbs, nuts and exotic edibles. An old schoolhouse and coral rock building chart Florida’s pioneer life. Another throwback to the fruit farming of old is Robert is Here, which started life in 1959 when the shop’s namesake, then six, began selling the family’s cucumbers from a small stall. Since then, it has grown into an exotic emporium of fruit and veg. In the lovely setting you can drink fruity milkshakes and buy sweet gifts.

Getting Fantastic Deals on the Wedding Clothing

If you are planning to have a full wedding that includes bridesmaids, and groomsmen etc. it could run you a great deal of money to cover your gown as well as the other women and men’s clothing as well.

Bridesmaid’s dresses get more and more costly with every extra woman in the wedding party. When you are deciding how much money you can afford to spend on the wedding clothes, you have to consider the fittings and the flowers or accessories as well.

If you can, you might do better to allow for casual wear for the bridesmaids so that they can wear less expensive dresses or skirts. This is particularly good if you are planning an outdoor or beach wedding.

The less formal the ceremony, the less money that you are required to spend. Perhaps that is why outdoor ceremonies are getting more and more popular these days.

You can also save money on the ladies dresses by purchasing them off season from a bridal store. You can always shop for out of season or discontinued dresses as a means of getting great discounts on gorgeous dresses. If you really want to, you can ask that your bridesmaids forget about the wedding shower gifts in favor of buying their dresses. That is a common compromise that is made these days.

If the cost of the dresses is really going to be a matter of stress for you, just reduce the bridesmaids to just having a maid/matron of honor and a best man only for the groom.

Many couples opt to forego the extras all together and simply do not have anyone standing up with them at all. After all, there is no law that states that you have to have a maid of honor or best man present during the ceremony.

When it comes to the tuxedos for the male participants and the groom, you can often find good deals when renting if you just shop around. It helps is you limit the number of participants if you must in order to reduce costs or if the men involved have their own tuxedos already.

Either way, research and comparison shopping really is the best chance.

You can also choose to rent the ladies gowns as well as the tuxedos. Not everyone wants to spend hundreds of dollars on a dress that they will wear once. Or spend that much money on many dresses that you will never be worn more than once.

Many bridal shops will let you rent a dress rather than buy one. The only difference with rented dresses is that you have to take it as is. They are not custom fitted to you. Other than that, you can save hundreds of dollars doing this.

Wearing your mother or grandmother’s wedding dress is also an option; especially if your are choosing a period theme where the dress was used. For example, if you are wearing your grandmother’s dress and the dress was worn in the 40’s, you can make the 40’s your wedding theme.

If the dress is your mother’s from the 60’s or 70’s, you can do the same thing. It will save you money and provides you with a fun theme.

You can also opt to make your own dress from scratch. Many women are choosing to go with home made pieces because they can get truly original in the make of the dress and the style.

It can be made in any fashion that you like and of any material also. Making your own dress is a good way to save money and it is also guaranteed to make sure that no one else has the same style as you.

When you make it yourself, you are guaranteed a custom fit without paying a custom price.

Finally, you can save bundles on your whole wedding party clothing, including the wedding dress by dressing according to your theme.

For example, if you choose a Hawaiian theme, you can wear island clothes. As part of your theme, you can dress in costumes to make the festivities more fun and as an added bonus; you can make the guests and wedding party dress in costume too.

You can also get a good deal by buying your wedding items at vintage or used stores. Many people bring back their wedding clothing after they have used so that they can recoup some of their money later.

This is a great way to save money for you and the rest of your wedding party. Used clothing items can also be found in bridal shops or tuxedo warehouses because the average person doesn’t wear these items more than once and because of this they will return it to the store that they got it from later.

When you are not afraid of vintage clothing, you can find some truly beautiful designer clothing for great prices. Some of the stores that offer used items will not force you to buy them, but they may request that you pay a bit of an extra fee for dry cleaning etc.

Either way, you will still be saving yourself a great deal of money that you would spend if you bought your items outright.

Ordinary Metal Detector Stories Gives Impact To People

Metal detectors have helped create some great adventures and fun stories to tell. Many people have found long lost items using a metal detector. Others have used them to find treasures. They have also been used to find the unexpected. People have used metal detectors all over the world. This has produced many memorable detector related stories. These adventures were experienced by everyday people who bought a handheld detector for various reasons.

Bradley and Lara had been married for four years. Every year they take a vacation to their beach house in Myrtle Beach, SC. The first year, Lara lost her wedding ring in the sand right in front of his house. It was her great grandma’s ring and she was very disappointed when they couldn’t find it. Lara thought the ring was gone forever. Two years later, Bradly decided to buy a metal detector to try to find it. He took a week off from work and went to the beach house without his wife. It took him three days but he managed to find the ring. The next week was their fifth wedding anniversary. Bradly presented Lara the ring, which he finally found after two years, as an anniversary gift. She was elated and couldn’t believe that Bradly had found her ring. It was one of the most heartfelt metal detector stories.

Sam had been a treasure hunter for a few years and already owned many high end detectors. He had many detector related stories but still hadn’t found the big treasure that he was after. Sam was treasure hunting on the coast of Spain. He was scanning a beach in a private cove when his handheld equipment started beeping. It was quiet at first but got louder the farther north he moved. He couldn’t take it anymore. He had to start digging. After a few shovel fulls of sand, he discovered a coin. The coin Sam dug up was an ancient roman coin worth thousands of dollars. Sam continued going down the beach with the detector. He eventually dug up a chest full of these coins. Sam had found his treasure and was able to retire early.

Obviously, anyone can create their own story using a handheld detector. Treasure does not need to be worth a lot. As long as the treasure has value to the person telling the story, the metal detector stories will be great.

San Diego California

Commercial Property:

The San Diego area receives a great deal of development offerings when it comes to commercial property and retail spots.  A lot of the development was to help ease the stress of tourism to the area, but has branched out to fuel the local economy in a lot of different ways.  Office space, warehouse space, and retail storefronts abound in the greater metropolitan area.  A recent survey of San Diego commercial property vacancies yielded comparable rates to larger cities. The average price starts at around $450 – $600 for small offices, and $1 a square foot for 1,000 square foot spaces.  Entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizesl have great opportunities to explore as society hopes for an economic recovery.  Since San Diego is located so close to the beach, it’s a hub of business activity and college students, families, and more.   If you need help finding the right commercial property to lease in the local cities near San Diego, we can help in – Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Del Mar, Del Cerro, Downtown, El Cajon, Encinitas, Escondido, Hillcrest, Imperial Beach, La Jolla, Little Italy, PB, La Mesa, Mission Valley, Oceanside, Point Loma, Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos, San Carlos, Santee, Solano Beach, and Sorrento valley.
Office Floorplan:

Before you decide to sign your life away – LOL – and rent a new San Diego commercial property, you need to think ahead on things like office amenities, and office layout or floorplan.  Some basic options, are a bullpen layout for a call center, or maybe a conventional design for a medical office suite or law firm?  The interior of an office can be designed to hold 10, or even 100 employees.  Providing the right workspace for your employees can make all the difference and it can be a good idea to use design software to help create the right design.

One of the largest cities in the Southern area of California is San Diego.  Named after a Spanish Saint (Diego De Alcala), the city features a great diverse culture that has many influences, specifically Spanish and Mexican.  The estimated population of the city center is around 1.2 million and the greater metropolitan area has an estimated population of around 3 million residents.  It is classified as the fifth-wealthiest city in the United States and has a diverse array of industries that fueled the overall economic picture.
Local Economy / Jobs:

The economic portrait of San Diego hinges on manufacturing, defense, tourism, and agriculture. The major sectors employ thousands, and is interesting to note. Some of the large companies in the greater San Diego area include, ProFlowers, WD-40 Company, Titan Corporation, Mad Catz, Sempra Energy, Solar Turbines, Cohu, and many other companies. Even though there is a great deal of large companies, diverse industries, and employment options to explore, the city was not immune to the national economic downturn. The unemployment rate of San Diego has recently hovered at around, 11%.  Although economists have a positive outlook in regards to the future of the area, there are still some hard times in terms of employment options.

The climate of San Diego is temperate and mild. Much like other locations in the Southern California, the city receives hundreds of sunny, clear days, with weather around 70 degrees, and no major extremes.  Snowfall is rare, and sunny weather abounds, even though the area is subject to droughts, floods, and even hurricanes. Although it is possible to have extreme weather in the area, most often, it is mild and pleasant.
San Diego Housing:

The real estate market in San Diego has remained relatively strong compared to many other areas in the greater Southern California areas.  The average home price in the area is around $390,000 and is forecasted to gain 4% in the next 2 – 5 years. Time will tell whether or not the area will actually grow and increase in value, but analysts are positive about the near future.
The mayor of San Diego is Republican Jerry Sanders, and was previously Chief of Police before becoming the mayor.  Jerry Sanders has a long history of community leadership, and has worked with the city in various capacities before being elected Mayor.  It’s interesting to note, that despite being a Republican mayor, he signed a resolution to reverse the ban on same-sex weddings, after revealing that his own daughter is gay and in a relationship.

Wedding Venues in Cheshire

Wedding day is one of the most important days of our lives. It is the ultimate expression of love where couples make their vows in front of their friends and family. This is the reason why a lot of thought and arduous planning and effort are invested in wedding ceremonies.

There are many elements in planning a wedding. Brides and wedding planners have to decide on the design of the wedding cake, pick out wedding favours, create wedding cards, hire wedding photographers and set designers, and find a wedding gown to name a few. Most importantly, couples will have to decide on the wedding venue.

The wedding venue is the most critical part and considered the largest expense in any wedding plan. The venue sets the scene for the theme of the wedding and all the decoration and accessories that comes with it. The venue must be at an ideal distance from where your guests will be coming from. Since the wedding venue will be a place that will be long remembered years after the wedding, couples must carefully choose the setting that fits their inner intimate sentiments.

You can consult wedding directory services to help you get started in finding the ideal venue. Couples can save a lot by simply choosing a wedding venue for a less popular time period. The wedding season starts from June and ends in August. During this time, the rates for different wedding venues become more expensive than any other months. Warmer months and Christmas season are also popular wedding dates. Weekend and holiday weddings are generally more expensive than weekday weddings. Couples can save a lot by having their wedding on an alternative date.

Practical couples can save money on the wedding venue by holding the wedding ceremony and the wedding reception at the same place. This saves couples a lot of money on rental and decoration fees. It also saves time and money in transporting the wedding guests from one place to another. Several wedding venues have gardens or mess rooms that can serve as reception areas. You can check for wedding venues that offer reception rooms at various wedding directory services

Special public venues like community centre buildings are a great alternative for a budget wedding venue. Many communities in the U.K. usually have a community centre for multi-purpose functions. Many couples overlook community centres, thinking that they might be too tacky or generic for a wedding to take place. However, if you take a closer look at these potential venues, most of them are actually elegantly designed and reasonably priced. Other public buildings that can be ideal for weddings are university facilities, small chapels, and parks. Wedding directory services have a database of various facilities that can be used for wedding ceremonies.

Home weddings have become a practical option for couples who have relatives with a large estate tucked away in the countryside. Even a large, cosy home will do, provided that you hire professional cleaning services ahead of time. A home wedding can be more intimate and relaxing than other wedding venues

A home wedding is not much different from other weddings. You can find a wedding planner that has experience in managing home weddings using a wedding directory service. You will only need to hire a decorator to turn your home into a romantic wedding venue. Ask your relatives to cook for the guests or you can hire a wedding caterer.

In some cases, wedding destinations abroad are more practical than weddings in the U.K. If you bring only your immediate family members and your closest friends, you and your guests can fly to beach wedding destinations in places like Africa, Caribbean, and East Asia. Many U.K. residents regard South Africa as the best beach wedding destination. You can take advantage of U.K.’s strong currency to find bargain wedding venues in other countries. These places can also become the setting for your honeymoon, and your guests can also take some weeks off to have a vacation.

Finding a wedding venue starts with your imagination. The question that anyone should first ask is – what is your ideal wedding? Have your ideal wedding in your mind as you search for a wedding venue. At the same time, do not think that you have to settle for less. There are a lot of simple wedding venues that transform into the most romantic setting with the right wedding decorations, lighting, and accessories. The most important thing in planning a wedding is you get to share your love to your friends and family in a place that will highlight the moment.

Since this will be something that you will remember for years to come, choosing a venue for the wedding can be one of the most demanding, yet rewarding tasks in planning a wedding.
