Winter Wedding Theme

Christmas time is a very popular time for couples to announce their engagement. Family and friends are gathering to celebrate the Christmas season, and this is a perfect time to let them all know the happy news that you are getting married.

With many family and friends living in different geographical locations, times like Christmas sees everyone ‘coming home’ for Christmas. For this reason, the Christmas season is also a popular time to celebrate a wedding.

When looking for the best Christmas wedding favours, there are many beautiful choices for the bride to consider. One very elegant choice is the Crystal Snowflake Glass Coaster set. These beautiful coasters make winter weddings especially elegant as there are four substantial glass coasters frosted with delicate snowflakes.

A great choice when choosing your Christmas wedding favours is the Elegant Snowflake Design Wine Bottle Stopper. These decorative and useful mementos are the perfect memento for your guests to take home. Each of these unique favours features a chrome stopper base wrapped with a black rubber gasket with a detailed three dimensional chrome snowflake perched at the top. Each wine bottle stopper comes individually packaged in a deluxe box with a clear top and a black, snow-flake decorated bottom, tied with a white organza bow with an attached snowflake design thank you tag.

The Flower of Love in Romantic Red Collection of guest book, ring pillow, designer pen base, bridal garter, cake serving set, cake topper, unity candle and toasting set is very stunning. This striking collection features romantic parchment roses with a musical backdrop. In combination with the pure silk douppione shantung fabric and natural mulberry paper, this beautiful ensemble is the picture of romance. The white and red colour scheme is pure winter colours—dramatic and romantic at the same time. With black accents this colour scheme is formal and traditional at the same time, and any wedding favour in these three colours would be appropriate.

The stunning “snow flurry’ flocked glass ornament place card holder/photo holder set provides a lovely motif for gifts of the season. It is a snow-lover’s delight inside and out, making it the perfect favour for your winter wedding. The outside of the clear, snow-globe ornament is adorned with white, flocked snowflakes, and inside is ‘drifting’ snow. It comes with place card holders for your wedding reception seating plan, and your guests can later use this as a Christmas tree ornament or a photo holder on their fireplace mantle. Either way, this beautiful gift is versatile and an elegant reminder of your wedding.

Christmas wedding favours are a lovely way to thank your guests for sharing your seasonal wedding day with you. They are a keepsake that uniquely expresses your personal style and taste, and they will trigger a memory each time they see your Christmas party favor in their home.

 

Low Cost Wedding Cakes, How do you Do It?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Every bride wants a ceremony and reception that is beautiful and elegant and that truly expresses her own personality.  Unfortunately not everyone can afford to have everything they want for their wedding and may find it difficult to balance these two situations.  However you can trim some money from your expenses by choosing some Budget Wedding cakes for your reception.  Here are some basic suggestions to keep in mind.

For one thing, remember that you don’t need a traditional huge tiered cake for your wedding.  Some low cost wedding cakes will mean some other options instead.  Many brides are finding that a nice selection of simple layer cakes can be just as beautiful if they’re all decorated nicely.  You can have one special cake with a cake topper that you and the groom slice together but other cakes can be made or even bought from your bakery or supermarket as options for low cost wedding cakes.  Your guests will likely not even mind seeing those other cakes and won’t miss that large tiered cake.  Some brides even have one small special cake that is beautifully decorated but then have sheet cakes in the kitchen that can be sliced and served to guests.  Rarely do they even realize this has happened since the ingredients are the same and it’s already sliced when they receive it!  Using these sheet cakes as low cost wedding cakes is a great idea for those who have a large number of guests attending.

Cupcakes have become a good alternative for low cost wedding cakes; they can be presented in a tree or tower so that they resemble a tiered cake.  Cupcakes are actually sometimes much nicer than a large cake since they’re all individually decorated so they look very beautiful when a guest receives it, as opposed to a typical cake which is sliced so that guests can’t even see the decorations!  Cupcakes as Low Cost Wedding cakes are a fun and festive way to add some personality to your reception and often guests don’t even notice that you’re using cupcakes since they’re so beautifully decorated.

The decorating is what usually gets in the way of low cost wedding cakes.  If you pay a professional to hand decorate your cake then of course it’s going to cost more than any other cake.  Keep this in mind when shopping for Low Cost Wedding cakes.  Ask the local bakery what options they have for cakes that are not personally decorated but that you can buy off the rack or off the shelf.  Very often they have a wide selection of cakes that are very beautiful and very tasty but since they’re not specifically decorated for you then of course they don’t cost quite as much.  A bakery might also have some options for cakes that they decorate but not according to your instructions; these make great low cost wedding cakes since they’re dressier than most cakes but still very affordable.
