Choosing a summer favor!

July 15th, 2009 Lewd No comments

Planning an outside wedding wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would
be. It turns out that it was a lot cheaper in cost than it would have
been to have an indoor wedding. Since we had the flowers and mother
nature everywhere, I didn’t have to spend a lot of money on
decorations. The first thing I had to do was to find the perfect
location to have our summer wedding and reception. Instead of having
our wedding ceremony and reception on the beach or in a garden, I chose
to have it in the park. I found there were several great locations that
would work out perfectly for an outdoor wedding.

I decided to
go online and get some expert advice on how to plan the perfect outdoor
wedding. I found out you need to have a plan B, in case inclement
weather unexpectly arises. A tent was suggested just in case the
weather turns out badly.

We had canopies arranged for our
reception and barring bad weather, planned to be wed under a lovely
trellis. I only had to get decorations for my bridal table and the
reception tables for our friends and family. With the park as our main
theme, I basically had to make sure I had our table settings and maybe
throw in a few extra bouquets of flowers. By using artificial flowers I
thought we may be able to avoid any univited guests, like bees. The
only way you could tell that the flowers were artificial, was by touch,
they were beautiful. Although planning wasn’t as difficult a chore as I
thought, there were quite a few things to take care of. Even though
some summer wedding invitations are fantastic, the heat can totally
destroy your gorgeous wedding cake.

There was a variety of
accessories available for the outdoor reception. As centerpieces for
our reception tables I used citronella votive candles and place them in
glass globes with flowers around them, and used park bench place card
holders for each guest. I found very decorative favor boxes and used
them to package the chrome bottle openers we bought for our friends and
family as a summer favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our
fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

While shopping for my wedding accessories I saw this topper and
couldn’t resist it. They were customized toppers for the wedding
couple. After I sent them a head shot of my fiance and myself they made
our bride and groom topper to look exactly like us. What a wonderful
momento of our wedding day. Everyone at the reception had something to
say about how unique it was. All the wonderful accessories I ordered
for our reception and wedding ceremony came from the same place,
including our champagne flutes and silver cake set. It’s unbelievable
all the lovely accessories you can purchase from you computer.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. Plan B never
had to be used, since the weather was so beautiful, and thankfully it
remained that way through the whole evening. The DJ we hired was really
exceptional and I’m sure that the music played on long after my new
husband and I left for our honeymoon. Everyone commented on what a
lovely ceremony and super reception we had. I couldn’t have picked a
better place than the park for our wedding ceremony and reception
party. I’d love to do this again and have a wedding renewal in the
park, maybe for an anniversary, someday.Technorati Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The right summer wedding ideas!

April 21st, 2009 butcher909 No comments

Planning an outside wedding wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. In fact, it didn’t cost as much as an indoor wedding would have cost us. Since we had the flowers and mother nature everywhere, I didn’t have to spend a lot of money on decorations. The first thing on my agenda was to find that astonishing  place to hold our summer wedding and reception party. I could have had our wedding ceremony on the beach, with a fun filled beach party reception, or an elegant garden party, but I chose a ceremony and reception in the park. I found several perfect parks that would work fine for our wedding day.

Since I never planned a wedding like this before, I needed all the help I could get. If you’re going to have your ceremony outside, it’s a good idea to have an alternative plan just in case the weather turns on you. A tent was suggested just in case the weather turns out badly.

In our original wedding preparations, we had a lovely canopy set up for the reception and a lovely trellis for our ceremony. I only had to get decorations for my bridal table and the reception tables for our friends and family. With the beautiful background of the park as our main décor, all I really needed besides table settings were a few extra flowers here and there. I thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and didn’t look artificial at all. Although planning wasn’t as difficult a chore as I thought, there were quite a few things to take care of. Even though some summer wedding invitations are remarkable, the heat can totally destroy your gorgeous wedding cake.

There was a variety of accessories available for the outdoor reception. I had little park bench place card holders at each table setting, and little citronella votive candles in glass globes with a nice flower arrangement as our centerpieces. I found very decorative favor boxes and used them to package the chrome bottle openers we bought for our friends and family as a summer favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

I found it while browsing online for my other wedding accessories, and fell in love with it. They were customized toppers for the wedding couple. They put our faces on our cake topper, and all I had to do was send them a photo of me and my fiance. What a wonderful momento of our wedding day. Our friends and family were really loved the cake topper and gave us a lot of compliments on it. All the wonderful accessories I ordered for our reception and wedding ceremony came from the same place, including our champagne flutes and silver cake set. You wouldn’t believe all the nice accessories you can buy online.

Well, the wedding was beautiful and the reception was just as perfect. The weather cooperated and we never had to go to plan “B” with the tents. We all loved the super DJ and the fantastic job he was doing, and if I’m right, he probably kept the music and dancing going on for quite a while after we left to go on our honeymoon. There were many good comments about our beautiful wedding ceremony and fun filled reception party we had. The park turned out to be the perfect place to have our wedding and reception. I’d love to do this again and have a wedding renewal in the park, maybe for an anniversary, someday.
