One of the biggest part of a wedding is the theme for your wedding. You might like to include lace fans as wedding favors if you are going with a rustic wedding theme. Every time I think of a lace handheld fan, I am reminded of swish-buckling romance and beautiful period costumes. Elegant dresses, beautiful outdoor wedding or perhaps a rustic barn wedding for a location.

There are flowers for the bouquets, for the church, and flowers for the mothers, grandmothers, groom, and ushers, as well as centerpieces for the reception. And amidst such a welcoming sight, beautiful bridesmaids with lace wedding fans.

Something that should be taken into consideration when selecting wedding favors is give your guests something they will want to keep, and to remember your wedding. It should be something that you really want them to have.

When you are choosing the type of wedding theme for your wedding, think about yourself and your bridesmaid especially. There are costs to consider as well. The last thing that you will need on your wedding day is to have one of your bridesmaid feeling uncomfortable with what she is wearing or how she looks in the middle of the ceremony.

Wedding Favors: Choosing A Wedding Fan For Your Bridesmaids

Once you have chosen the wedding dress you want to have for your wedding, the next thing is to decide on the accessories. Usually the colors for bridesmaids will compliment the colors of the bride’s dress for the bouquet. A handheld wedding fan can compliment as well as stand out.

Whether you will be gliding down the aisle for a traditional church ceremony or standing on the beach with the white sand beneath your feet, and the deep blue waters rippling across the ocean – make your day a memorable one with one of a Designer lace wedding fan.

Adorn your bridesmaids with a variety of wedding fans using the color and theme of your big day. Your guests will remember your beautiful day, and celebrate your journey into a life of married bliss and lifelong happiness. Gift your bridesmaids and wedding guests with unique fan favors as memorial of your special day.

A destination wedding can be a one in a lifetime experience and really add a touch of magic into your wedding. I suppose all of us have a dream wedding destination in mind, the what if money was not an issue type of exotic destination. Some couples elect to have their wedding in a romantic location like Paris or Italy, others choose the over the top glamor wedding. Others prefer a beach wedding or somewhere rustic like a barn. It is what you love that matters.

You should be aware that unexpected problems can crop up, schedules, budget, availability are just some of them. You could be adding more stress on yourself with a destination wedding. But for those who can take things in their stride and if you have the support of family and friends, by all means do so!

Sometimes You Don’t Even Have To Travel Far
We tend to look to somewhere far off and all that traveling does add a bit of jet-setting glamor to your wedding day. The truth is, there is probably somewhere closer to home that can make a ideal wedding destination for you. Especially if you already live in a tropical paradise. One of our friends got married in one of the best scuba diving location in the world.

Destination Wedding Woes

I came across this in a forum from Brides.com – someone who shared their experience of a wedding destination woe. This is very interesting and just goes to show you how unexpected issues can crop up. But she sounds very level-headed and seems to be able to take it in her stride. Good for her!

I need this forum today more than ever…you can only talk to people you know so much about the ups and downs of wedding planning, so I am SO thankful this place exists!

So, I have been planning our wedding almost a year now, we are doing a “destination wedding” (out of state in Florida – we are all from Mass). I knew there would be challenges, believe me. First, the hotel prices were sky high the weekend we booked in April after they first said a ballpark number that was way off. So we moved the whole wedding up 2 weeks (thankfully they had a date in May free).

After that, I had a few scattered problems…guest list disputes with relatives, lost a bridesmaid after a falling out and decided not to be friends (wow), My Dad has been threatening (not aggressively) to not come due to financial issues, I had to find a new florist after the guy I had been talking to stopped returning calls..all the alcohol was marked up 200% for the open bar..you know, stuff like that!

Now, the latest issue is surrounding my Mother and a friend of hers coming to the wedding. My Mother is a nervous flyer and she has a close friend I invited to keep her company and fly with her. Her friend decided to change everything we had talked about previously and change the days my Mother would be with me in Florida from Friday to Monday afternoon to leaving early Sunday morning! Meaning she spent all this money to be down there a day and half. ALSO I had planned for everyone to eat breakfast together etc. and she would have been gone before we got up! She booked the flights and I now am offering to pay the difference to book a later flight.

I know these sorts of things sound trivial to a lot of people, but as you Brides know, especially your Mom, you want the people you care about most to be there and enjoy themselves. I know when you have a destination wedding, you have to be respectful of what people can and can’t do, so I am trying to make peace with this process. Some days you just want to lose it, you know what I mean?

A wedding is a party, not a performance. It is a party where you get to go on center stage and be the star for the entire day. Like most stars, you have worked for months to get to this point, and it will be one of the high points of your life.

A wedding is a party

If at the end of the day, you are married to the one you love, then everything went perfectly.

You deserve to be in the spotlight, and to share the love your friends and family bestow on you. You are one in the million, so remember to enjoy the moment. Remember, your wedding day is your party!

Thank You For Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow

Some of us could not have imagined that one day we would be standing in front of the altar and exchange wedding vows. For many, it may have been a long and difficult road. Learning the lessons life had to offer, having to live through some tough challenges along the way.

I firmly believe that there is a time and place for everything. When the hour comes, everything just clicks into place. Life is made up of choices, some harder than others.

A modern wedding proposal sharing the moment

For years I have been focused on my career, flying from one place to the next, it takes a special person to make me see the at life can change. It doesn’t take a genius to realize when you have just met the woman you will spend the rest of your life is. You just have to know that life doesn’t always give second chances, so you have better be prepared to take the first one.

Sometimes, God doesn’t give you the people you want, he gives you the people you need. People to help you, hurt you, and leave you. But also the one who will love you, honor you, cherish you and who will make you strive to be the person you were meant to be.

Moments That Take Our Breath Away

Weddings are moments that take our breath away. The weddings we have all been to, when we see the love and joy of friends tying the knot, the exchange of wedding vows. These are moments that take our breath away. The bridegroom seeing the bride in her wedding dress for the first time, the moment she says “I Do”.

Watch out for such moments on your wedding day. Moments such as these are the reason you are here. If you are married to the one you are truly meant to be with, you will share plenty of such moments together.

A Googler recently proposed to his girlfriend by giving her a new Nexus 7 Tablet.

“On July 4th, 2012, my girlfriend and I were in Chicago with our two brothers and friend. We visited the Shedd Aquarium, Millennium Park, and played squash at the University Club. At the end of our match, our brothers sneaked upstairs while I gave her a gift: the Nexus 7 tablet,” the Googler says in the YouTube description. “I did a quick live demo and ended it by showing her this video on YouTube.”

In a mix of everlasting love and new product marketing, I am guessing Google and Youtube got in the mix helping out with this. But the important thing was she said “Yes” and they lived happily ever after.

This beautiful and uplifting poem, “The Life That I Have,” was read at Chelsea Clinton and Mark Mezvinsky’s wedding ceremony. It is an easy wedding poem for guests and those listening to appreciate. It is genuinely emotional with the words of “yours and yours and yours.”

The Life That I Have - Agnes Lim

The Life That I Have

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours.
 
The love that I have 

Of the life that I have 

Is yours and yours and yours.
 
A sleep I shall have 

A rest I shall have 

Yet death will be but a pause.
 
For the peace of my years 

In the long green grass 

Will be yours and yours 

And yours.

The Heartbreaking Story Behind The Poem

On the surface it seems to be the perfect wedding poem, and yet ….there is a heartbreaking tragedy behind the poem. Written by Leo Marks on Christmas Eve in 1943 for his girlfriend Ruth, when he received the news that she had just perished in a plane crash. In his 1998 memoir “Between Silk and Cyanide,” Marks wrote of the poem’s purpose, “I transmitted a message to her which I’d failed to deliver when I’d had the chance.”

The true story is from during the second world war. After it was written, Marks who worked in the Special Operations Executive, tasked with encoding allied messages and cracking German codes gave the poem to a young female agent of the French resistance named Violette Szabo to use as her personal cipher. Before the end of the war, Szabo was compromised then tortured and killed by the Nazis. Violette’s story is remembered in a 1958 film called “Carve Her Name With Pride.”

Though commonly referred to as “The life that I have,” it appears that the poem was never given a title by Marks.

Chelsea Clinton and Mark Mezvinsky may or may not have been aware of the origins of this poem Nonetheless it is a beautiful and emotional poem.

Ideally, you should be on your way to your honeymoon after the wedding. But what about the friends and relations that flew in from across the country? When someone takes the time and expense to answer your wedding invitation, the least you can do is to make sure they know how much you appreciate their attendance.

Sometimes it is simple as arranging transport for them, or to have someone show them around the city after the wedding. I just flew back from a wedding a few days ago, where a relative of ours got married. I pitched in by driving their friends and in-laws on the day of the wedding, as well as help the couple collect the wedding gifts and deliver them back to the couple’s house. I was glad to help and be more involved.

This is a wedding proposal capture on video in Japan. It involves a beautiful girl, Apple iPhone, lots of friends and a magic box. Oh well, I might as well tell you now, the ring appears in the wedding ring case as if by magic. Where does the Apple iPhone comes in? Watch the video, cute describes it best.

Like many Japanese, this is quite low key and involves just a small group of people. It is intimate and captures the mood very well. Watching this, one cannot help but be happy for this young couple.

Life is made up of beautiful moments like these.
