Save The Date Wedding Cards

A save the date is similar to an invitation and is mailed up to one year before the wedding date. Save the dates simply announce that the wedding date has been set and encourages recipients to plan for the event. It is not used as a substitute for the wedding invitation and typically mentions that an invitation will follow. Save the date cards are a fairly recent invention, so there is no standard for proper wording. The best approach to take is to decide what you want you’re save the date... Read more »

Collor Suggestions for Wedding Attendants

Colors like wine/creme, wine/champagne, and wine/gold are really nice colors to go with an October wedding. I think those color choices compliment each other beautifully, particularly the wine, gold, and champagne. Other colors to throw in there that would go nicely would be a deeper shade of copper and another lighter/darker red. Because it will be in the fall time of year, she could always coordinate oranges in there as well with flowers and centerpieces. September is a month where you can really... Read more »

You could make a photo album of the both of you and include pictures of things the both of you love (skiing, cheesecake). Buy one of those little miniatures Christmas trees and cut... Read more »

Ideas For Colors Of Your Wedding

Here are some good ideas for September colors for your wedding. I love this one color that is a light green. I understand that this is not a fall color. The light green would go beautifully with a darker green or a darker red/orange. This would “ground” the color in a more summer-fall transitional theme. You could use three colors- the light green, a darker green (dark sage, hunter, etc), and pair it with a gold, yellow, burnt orange, or dark red for accents. This would be a monochromatic... Read more »

How Did You Know I Wanted That?

Since you’ve been together for a while, you probably know by now what there tastes are like. If you think they would enjoy getting another piece of jewelry, go for it! Given that you’re saying the old necklace you got for them is now all faded, I assume he/she must really like it a lot and wear it all the time. In my opinion, it really doesn’t matter how expensive a gift is it’s the thought that counts. If you are really struggling for ideas, how about just getting him/her... Read more »

More Colors To Think About For Your Wedding

Yellow and orange would be good colors. You want to use a yellow that is in the same intensity as the orange of the dresses. Burnt Orange sounds subdued. You are not going for a match with your dresses because that gives a very fake look. You want to coordinate the colors to go with the dresses. There are many flowers that are yellow. Actually, since you are using silk flowers … you can dye flowers yellow and or orange with fabric dye. So if you can get white silk flowers … you can get... Read more »

Wording Of Your Wedding Invitations

When it comes to your wedding invitations you will always want them to look there best no matter, but there are just some things that you will need help on. The only things I would recommend changing are as follows: removing the comma after Street in the reception location address, and moving “Saint Paul, Minnesota” down to the next line. In terms of the “together with their parents” line, placement depends upon who the hosts of the reception are; generally (and this is regardless... Read more »

Wedding Dress Sizes And Ideas

Firstly, there are different weights of satin. Go for something nice and lightweight. The simpler cuts do tend to be made from lighter fabrics to add to the simplicity, they also hang better without looking too stiff. Mermaid (or fishtail) style would be perfect. Go for a 1 piece gown as a 2 piece or separates can cut a figure in half. Also, look at the fitting of the skirt. For a petite frame, go for a skirt that flares out from mid thigh at the lowest. This will make you look taller and balance... Read more »
