If the couple loves the beach, the sea, and anything to do with water, for example, perhaps a beach or nautical themed wedding would be appropriate. Or if they love a sensual, romantic atmosphere, a passion themed wedding might be more to their liking.

Elements of a themed wedding include decorations, food type, location, favors, invitations, attire, and much more. Essentially, you are creating a wedding around a theme, and your options are limitless.

Numerous resources are available for those planning a themed wedding. From craft stores to online merchants like americanbridal.com, you can find all the items you need to ensure your perfect wedding goes off without a hitch. Here are several popular themes to consider:

A beach themed wedding usually uses white, blue, and yellow or sandy colors to represent the clean, airy, fresh feel of the beach and the ocean. With this theme, you can use a variety of bridal favors, invitations, and decorations. These might include:

PostHeaderIcon Wedding Favors, Mementoes That Say Thank you

Wedding favors have been used by wedding couples for over 500 years to say thank you to their guests at their wedding. Originally called Bombonieres they were given by French and Italian aristocracy in expensive fine porcelain or precious metal boxes to present five candies representing fertility, health, wealth, happiness and longevity. Even the sugar coating to the sweet almonds from Jordan was expensive so only the rich and famous gave their guest such expensive presents as mementoes. Originally favors were given not just for weddings but at other celebrations too. Favors were given at anniversaries such as birthdays or baptism parties. Giving favors by tradition has varied with the country. In Spain for instance orange blossom is used while in the Netherlands “bridal sugar” uses the traditional five Jordan Almonds. The way a favour is presented varies too, today the favour is used at the table place to enhance the setting decoration. Although some favors are given out by hand in exchange for a wedding gift.

In spite of the many occasions the wedding is still the main event where favors are used and have come to mean thank you for sharing our wedding with us. Favors of course are not always sweets or candies, there are many practical items used as favors some very important, some less so it is to say “Thank you for sharing our day with us” that makes the favour so significant whatever the cost.

Every couple aspires to have their wedding as special and as memorable as possible and the number of offerings for favors has expanded to include all manner of things. One of the newer arrivals on the wedding favour scene is the use of a personalised perfume as a memorable favour. It is said “nothing evokes a memory like a scent” and the fragrance favour presented in a beautiful hand made Thai silk bag in the wedding theme colours is increasingly popular. No doubt the wedding favour offerings will continue to expand over the years and personal fragrances for the wedding will find their palace alongside the traditional candies.

PostHeaderIcon How To Tell An Extraordinary Wedding Disc Jockey From Someone Who Could Ruin Your Wedding Reception

You have your band (around your finger), now it’s time to find your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey. You search the internet for “Connecticut Wedding disc jockey” and come up with a list of potential wedding disc jockey choices. Now, how do you wade through the rhetoric “Connecticut’s Most Requested DJ”, “The DJ of Choice”, “CT DJ of the Year” and figure out who is going to make your reception a raving success v. a floundering mess.

Here are some things to keep in mind as you look for your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey:

Check out their website. If it is poorly designed, lacks real information or just doesn’t appeal to your style – then they are probably not the right choice as your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey. You should discount any DJ that DOES NOT HAVE A WEBSITE. If they can’t be bothered to setup a website, then they probably can’t be bothered with the details of your wedding.

Look for pricing. If they do not list pricing on their website – they might be trying to hide something. Many Connecticut Wedding disc jockeys will quote different pricing from one client to the next. This is a sign of a poorly run business or of hidden charges that might haunt you down the line. Your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey should be upfront with their pricing and it should be printed/posted on their website and in the literature they mail you.

If you have specific music tastes – ask your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey to show you a list with that style music on it. Too many Connecticut Wedding disc jockeys have promised to cater to client’s musical tastes and then showed up on the day of the wedding to just play the same tired wedding music that you hear at every Connecticut wedding reception.

Ask to see photo’s of their equipment and setup. If they have large self-promoting signs as part of their setup – stay clear of this. What right does a Connecticut Wedding disc jockey have in promoting themselves at YOUR wedding?

Ask your disc jockey how much money they have invested in the equipment that they bring and setup at a typical wedding. At a recent Connecticut bridal show, one Connecticut Wedding disc jockey boasted about his new disc jockey setup. The main system was worth less than $500. A quality wireless microphone is worth more than $500 alone! If they have less than $5,000 in equipment (not including music value or backup equipment value) – they are entry level wedding entertainment at best. Quality Connecticut Wedding disc jockey equipment comes at a cost. Many professional Connecticut Wedding disc jockeys will have over $10,000 invested in their main system alone.

The bottom line – if your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey choice gives you any concern with regards to their professionalism, they you should keep shopping for your Connecticut Wedding disc jockey elsewhere. The difference between a $750 Connecticut Wedding disc jockey and a quality $1500 Connecticut Wedding disc jockey could mean the difference between guests gazing at their watches soon after dinner or your family and friends up and dancing the night away at your Connecticut wedding reception.

PostHeaderIcon The One Decision a Man Could Make For His Wedding

The planning of the wedding sets roles for the marriage. If the future wife makes all of the important decisions when planning the wedding, she will MOST likely wear the pants in the family. The problem is most men do not care about many of the decisions that are needed when planning a wedding. The wedding colors, the flowers, the location are decisions that most men do not care about.

So what decision does a man make? I found the caterer. Finding the caterer was a big enough decision to keep the respect of my future wife and gain the respect of all her friends. I did not choose the menu – the caterer did. I found a true professional. My caterer has restaurant experience on three continents on his way to earning the title of Executive Chef. If you want to find the best restaurants in the Washington, DC area, go to the restaurants he lists on his resume. When I choose my caterer, I choose a world class chef. My caterer supplied a menu that was so far above the usual wedding menu of boiled chicken and baked fish, it was like eating at a four star restaurant.

So how did I find my caterer? Thumbing through the phone book is not a recommended way to find a truly great caterer. Looking on the web is not a good method to find one either. I looked for my caterer at every event that I went to over the years. If I liked the food at a wedding, I would take a minute to talk to the chef. If the food was not good, I would not waste my time. I found my chef cooking at a small party. After two minutes I was sold. I took his card and held it. That was two years ago.

What was it that sold me on my caterer? He is a food geek. How do I know? Once you get my caterer talking about food he cannot stop. He talks about food the way a Ferrari mechanic talks about cars. I asked him a simple question. If you were going to cook the perfect meal, what would you make? We talked for a few minutes and before he was called back to his duties, most of the women at the party were standing around us. It was like watching a master magician tell his magic secrets to a group of amateurs. I know just enough about food to order at most restaurants. I am not an expert and do not have the ability to judge an expert chef from what he says. I choose my caterer by how he talked about food and how the women at the party were glued to him.

So how do you find the caterer for your wedding?

(1) Search for the caterer at the events that you attend. If you like the food, talk to the chef. Talk to the chef about food. If he or she is a food geek that is a good sign. I define a food geek as someone who knows more about food than a farmer. If the person talks about foreign spices like an average high school student talks about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, that person is a food geek. If the chef impresses any of the other cooks in the room that is a good sign.

(2) Search for the caterer, by talking to your local florists. If a florist recommends a caterer, that is a good sign.

(3) Go to a fundraiser. Ask the organizer for a recommendation. The better the fundraiser, the better the chef. Fundraising coordinators will have experience with many different chefs.

Do not rely upon these recommendations alone. Check out the caterer. Do an interview. Bring someone who knows food. To be blunt, it almost does not matter what the chef says, the only thing that really matters is the food. Have the chef bring samples. Finally, you are paying for the food; why not ask for a recipe. My chef has given me several simple recipes that I can prepare for my wife. I have not tried yet, but I will sometime.

PostHeaderIcon Perfect Places For A Bridal Shower Event

If you are planning a bridal shower, you want everything to be perfect. From the theme, to the decorations, to the food, and to the games everything must be just right. With that in mind, special attention needs to also be placed on where your bridal shower will be located. The location of your bridal shower can have a huge impact on how your bridal shower theme turns out. It can also lend itself naturally to some wonderful activities that will be memorable for all that attend.

A Private Home or Apartment

When choosing to have the shower at a private home, the options really are wide open. If you are a traditionalist, then the bridal shower should be held at the maid of honor’s home. It is, however, perfectly fine to have the bridal shower at the home of the bride or at the bride or groom’s parent’s house, or at anybody else’s home you desire. There really are no restrictions as to whose house you can have the bridal shower at. Just be sure to choose a home that is spacious enough to accommodate all of your guests. Don’t forget that the presents will take up space, too! And, somehow, they seem to take up even more space after they are open, so be sure there is plenty of room for the gifts both before and after they are opened. You don’t want to be crowded or cramped in any way.

If you or someone you know lives in an apartment complex, you might also want to look into having the bridal shower on the roof of the apartment. This area is quite spacious and can be a great deal of fun. Empty lofts are another option of living space turned to bridal shower location.

You also need to be sure the home is located somewhere the bride and all of her guests can easily locate and get to. Your home may seem “perfect” in every way, but it won’t matter if no one can find it or if it is so far out of the way that it becomes a hassle.

A Park

A park can offer a pleasant outdoor atmosphere to be enjoyed by all guests. Often, parks have picnic areas that you can use to barbeque some enjoyable treats for guests. A park also lends itself naturally to fun outdoor activities for a “sports” or “outdoors” bridal shower theme.

A Bowling Alley

Many women are choosing to just go out for a night of bowling and pizza for their bridal shower. Typically, this would be a smaller group of women, such as just the bridal party. A bowling alley bridal shower does, however, lend itself well to a co-ed bridal shower because the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable for the men, as well.

A Room in the Community Center or a Hall

A room in community center or a rented hall can be great for a bridal shower. Typically, these spaces were designed with special activities such as bridal showers in mind. Therefore, there should be plenty of space available for the

A Bar or Club

Sometimes, there is just nothing better than just going to a bar or club, particularly if those invited to your bridal shower enjoy dancing and having a “girls night out.” Just be sure to only invite those you know would be comfortable in this type of environment. A bar or club is also a good place to have a coed bridal shower.

A Room at Country Club or the Spa

Spending a day at the spa has become an increasingly popular bridal shower trend. This is generally a smaller party, as going to the spa can become quite costly. Often, just the women who are members of the bridal party enjoy this bridal shower. To spend a day at the spa, everyone usually signs up for two or three spa services. The job of the hostess is to ensure the space is available at the spa and to reserve a spot for lunch. At this time, gifts can be exchanged. Or, the guests might combine their money to pay for the spa treatment for the bride-to-be.

A Boat or Yacht

Renting a boat or Yacht for the day can be a great place for a bridal shower. You and your guests can enjoy the scenery and have a great time sailing away. A boat or a yacht can be perfect for a themed bridal shower, particularly if the bride-to-be enjoys sailing or likes gifts with a nautical theme, such as dolphins.

A Restaurant

Restaurant showers are gaining in popularity. This is largely because there is no clean up required afterward and it requires very little preparation. It is customary to pay for the food for guests invited to a bridal shower. You can, however, expect the guests to pay for their own meals and drinks while you provide dessert or a cake. Or, you can put a cap on the spending or only pay for pre-selected foods and drinks. If you won’t be paying for all of the food and drinks, be sure your guests are well aware ahead of time. In fact, this information should be included on the invitation.

PostHeaderIcon Bridal Jewelry for the Choosy Bride

The selection of bridal jewelry you will wear for your wedding day is the decision that will pull your entire bridal look together. With so many different bridal jewelry designers available via the internet, the bride that is choosier will have no problems finding the right bridal jewelry to complete her look.

For many brides, tradition is the most important element to selecting their bridal jewelry. Some brides value their traditional ways that they will have their mother or grandmothers bridal jewelry re-strung or redesigned to match a more modern look they are wearing for their wedding day. Other traditional brides will wear pearls, because pearls are the most traditional jewelry worn by brides internationally for many years. Brides that love traditional bridal values, wear white or ivory pearls, making the pearl color easy to match to the traditional bridal gown. Pearls are beautiful on brides for their bridal jewelry. They pop with color that matches cohesively with the bridal gown. Pearls are the kind of bridal jewelry that are perfect for passing down to your daughter to wear for her wedding day as her bridal jewelry, that is if she wants to wear the traditional pearls you wore.

Brides looking for a more modern flair for their bridal jewelry are turning to the new swarovski crystal look that many bridal jewelry designers are sporting online. Incorporating swarovski crystal bridal jewelry makes the most sense for brides that want that modern look incorporated into their bridal jewelry look. Many of the new bridal gowns have crystal embellishments on their bodice and trim, and some are completely covered in crystals. That makes purchasing crystal bridal jewelry the best option for those brides. With bridal gown designers designing more gowns with crystal embellishments rather than pearl embellishments, bridal jewelry designers are designing and creating beautiful crystal bridal jewelry.

There is a third option for bridal jewelry for brides that want a little bit of the best of both worlds. Combination pearl and crystal bridal jewelry is the perfect choice for brides that love traditional pearls, but want that extra sparkle and flair that the swarovski crystal bridal jewelry gives. Combining pearls and crystals in your bridal jewelry is one of the most beautiful styles of bridal jewelry. Nothing is more elegant than a beautiful glowing bride in her with gown wearing gorgeous bridal jewelry that shines and gleams.

If you are unsure of the style or type of bridal jewelry you should wear for your wedding day to finish your bridal jewelry look, consider these few things. First, consider your style and type of bridal gown. If you have a plunging neckline in your bridal gown, choose bridal jewelry that accents that feature. Possibly use a y drop or pendant style bridal jewelry necklace. Second, consider the embellishments on your bridal gown. If you fell in love with a bridal gown that is covered in pearls, purchase pearl bridal jewelry. If you dress has crystals, wear crystal bridal jewelry to accent that gorgeous gown. Lastly, wear what you feel the most beautiful in. Your opinion of yourself and how you look on your wedding day is the most important. You’re the bride, you are the star of the show. So wear bridal jewelry that makes you feel like the star of the show, your show!

PostHeaderIcon Can a Marriage Survive Infidelity?

There are marriages and there are marriages. You can expect/demand the sun, moon and the stars or almost nothing. It’s a question of personality and perspective. But there is no doubt that the most important thing in a marriage, as in any other relationship, is honesty and real understanding.

In a marriage of the kind we all yearn to have, fidelity is vital. It implies a commitment that’s total and complete. You seek the closest intimacy possible from no one else, so sufficient is the love you receive. What could be more reassuring, more meaningful? But a relationship that intense, comes with a price tag.

And infidelity in a relationship based on such love can be shattering. Nothing can fix that first fine careless rupture. Trust is ruptured forever. It’s a betrayal that leaves you feeling painfully inadequate.

You look back through the prism of time and realise how wonderfully didactic you were in your youth! At 25, black and white could never co-exist. But then, life happens. And you realise that grey exists, and it is often a zone that needs far more maturity and understanding to inhabit than you ever dreamt.

When you’ve been married nearly 27 years, the first lesson you learn is that marriage is a relationship which, like human beings themselves, is constantly morphing and evolving. It’s an equation where the variables change the answers constantly. People sometimes lead married lives together with infidelity between them. Children, autumn love, companionship allow such relationships to survive.

But at the end of the day, it’s really what you want from your marriage and partner. You can survive infidelity (don’t we survive everything?), but that’s the right word, isn’t it? Survive. If you want more, you have to sacrifice something. That my friend, is the nature of the beast.

PostHeaderIcon How To Fix your Marriage without Professional Help

Marriages can have troubled times. Maybe it’s because of infidelity or the quiet drifting apart of a long term marriage – in any case, when your marriage is having tough times, you need help to make things right again. However, not everyone has the resources or the time to seek professional help. The good news is that you can fix your relationship without a therapist, though you might need a therapist in the future.

For now, you have each other

When you’re hitting a rough spot in your marriage, it’s time to talk about why you want to save the marriage first. Sit down with your partner and start to discuss things that are keeping your together and memories that remind you of better times. You might want to sit down with photo albums and journals to talk about the times when you used to laugh, when you used to be happy. Many times, this simple exercise can help to put your current problems into perspective and help to put you on a positive path to a healthy relationship.

Make a promise

Too many times, we are afraid to make promises to our partner because we’re afraid that we won’t be able to follow through, that we won’t be able to be perfect in everything we do. However, the truth is that no one is perfect – we can only try our best. If you’re in a hard spot with your marriage, you will want to make a promise to each other that you will do the best that you can to make things better between the both of you. Promise to do whatever it takes and that you will give all of your free time and attention to fixing whatever has been broken. And then stick to that promise.

Realize that you’re not going to be perfect

Even in therapy, couples aren’t perfect with rebuilding their relationship. Things go wrong, life can throw curve balls, and people can make mistakes – you will not always do everything right. But what matters is that you try to move toward doing what’s best for your relationship. To go into fixing your marriage, thinking that everything is going to be easy and without flaws is just not realistic. Try to do the best that you can, but forgive yourself and forgive your spouse when you’re not able to choose the right thing. It’s how you recover and learn from these mistakes that will make your marriage stronger in the end.

Set aside some time to work on your relationship

You will need to set up some time in which you can work through your problems and your issues. Much like traditional therapy, you might want to schedule in appointments with each other in order to have time to talk. Try to make this time as uninterruptible as possible so that you’re not distracted by anything else – so that you can focus on your marriage. You might want to set up time away from your living space in order to bring a new perspective to your discussions. Maybe heading out for a hike or to a spa for a day will help you both change your feelings about whatever you are talking about – and help you resolve it.

You don’t have to do what everyone else has done

Your relationship needs specific tools to be fixed, but the way that works for you might not be the way that works for everyone else. This is why communicating with each other is so important. When you’re able to talk honestly about your feelings and about your needs, you will be able to create plans that make sense for the way that you want things to work out. Your methods might not be ‘normal’, but if they’re making your relationship happier and healthier, it only matters what works.

Get the tools

But there’s nothing stopping you from looking at the writings of therapists and other experienced authors. Bookstores have sections devoted to healing marriages and getting past any number of relationship battles. In a pinch, you can also head to the library for a free assortment of self help tools. The point is that you find something that works for you and your relationship, so it might take time to find the right book.
