Country Weddings Ideas
Published February 22, 2012 | 
You are crazy about westerns? Wild West, cowboys and saloons – that is you true romance? Then why not arrange your wedding in western style? To arrange a wedding in cowboy style is not necessarily to go to the open spaces of Texas! You just need to know a few secrets and, of course, some clever country wedding ideas.
To begin with, you must be imbued with the necessary attitude. For this purpose it is enough to see (or in your case, to review once again) a few iconic westerns. For example, ‘Unforgiven’ or ‘The Magnificent Seven’ with Clint Eastwood or ‘Bandidas’. From these, one can take the idea of decoration or interesting details about the costumes.

Wedding invitations can be in the form of funny leaflets, like ‘Wanted’ and with the photos of the newlyweds. And you can choose stylish themes, like vintage postcards of the mid-19th century. Of course, the outfits of the bride and groom must meet the wedding theme. The bride should choose either a multi-layered long skirt with lots of lace and a tight corset or dress in the style of cabaret dancers or a stylish dress of medium length! But she must wear stylish boots of soft leather. Groom’s suit is composed of stylish leather pants or even regular jeans, a loose white shirt, leather vest with a fringe scarf. And, of course, a cowboy outfit is simply impossible to imagine without cowboy hats or spurs.
The restaurant in which will be the celebration must be called “Saloon”. The room is decorated with all sorts of shoes, old photos, hats, paper targets, ‘Indian’ arrows. In the festive menu should dominate meat dishes, steaks and chops. Entertainment can be arranged from the shooting at targets, poker and others. You can also invite to the wedding a show-ballet with cabaret program. In this regard, the music should be appropriate, because Vivaldi does not suit for such a marriage! Expressing joy of life, these country wedding ideas are not hard to put in practice; all you need is imagination and, of course, a little help from your friends. In addition, they are perfect for an autumn or late summer wedding at a ranch.

Also, you must give up the idea of traditional limousines and luxury cars. You can drive to the venue on horseback or in an old stagecoach. Of course, for everything to go without a hitch, you need to be accompanied, especially if you have no experience in riding. In principle, it is possible to ride with an instructor who will hold the horse by the bridle. In any case, you should try it, because your wedding cannot be called cowboy if you do not have horses.

If you are planning a wedding performed in a predetermined style, it is necessary to continuously adhere to everything. And the entertainment part will be no exception to this rule. It may be a whole theatrical performance with a lot of artists and musicians. But it is still possible to arrange a traditional performance of a young, actively involving your family and close friends. For example, the classic scenario of the event is as follows: before set foot on the threshold of his bride’s father's house, the groom must fulfill all the tasks given to him. The bridesmaids will seek to ask him tricky questions and riddles. Only after he completes the tasks, the groom will meet his lover.
In some cases, the basic functions of toastmasters can be taken by one of the closest friends. Still, if you plan a big celebration with lots of guests, the best thing would be to invite a professional. Indeed, because of his inexperience, the person will be able to cope with a large audience. Practically not a single wedding in our time cannot do without an original entertainment program. We should not forget that each of the winners of the competitions held will be offered small but original souvenirs. After all, every guest will seek to participate in the competition to get the original souvenir. For an audience involving children you can also consider a separate competitive program with wedding reception games and lots of sweets.

One of the most memorable events of the wedding festivities is the first dance. The couple has to prepare in advance or take a few lessons from a professional choreographer. An incendiary dance like tango or waltz will be romantic, but you also should involve your guests. Try to organize small dancing competitions. Always be confident in your abilities and show a little imagination … and you will succeed!
Fun Wedding Reception Ideas
Published February 21, 2012 | Let us add one more idea in the ranks of the unusual and bright ideas for weddings! Today's great idea would please fans of the famous game ‘The Mario Brothers’. The adventures of Italian-born American plumbers who are trying to save the captive Princess Peach can become a leitmotif of a wedding. These fun wedding reception ideas will certainly entertain all your guests, be it old or young.

The invitations require a minimum of parts and a maximum of style. Black stencils, always with small mushrooms (Mario did not go anywhere without them) and the text written in bright pink. By the way, you can write the same as the heroes: ‘Super Mario and Princess Peach have built their own castle!’ Fans of the game will surely understand and appreciate.
Typically, the color of wedding dresses must not be pure white, very affectionate, but rather have a lighter shade. My favourite will be a pink strapless dress, knee length. A large satin bow at the waist and tiny silvery sequins on the skirt will perfectly complement the overall style, making it more playful and carefree. And a pair of pink shiny sandals. That would be just lovely! The hairstyle should be with big curls. By the way, have you noticed that the style captured the image of Princess Peach from the game?
The groom’s outfit is also very unusual. It can be a wonderful alternative to the classic: black pants, red suspenders and white shirt!
The bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere must be as bright as the images from the game. A storm of red, yellow, blue and green colors will be framed by an azure ribbon.

The reception hall can be arranged as the background in the computer game – blue walls (the sky) and green floor (grass). On some of the walls you can make a ‘brick’ pattern for getting a good contrast. It is also possible to decorate a long narrow drawer with flowers (as in the bride's bouquet), moss and other greens, as long as it is bright. Plates must not be simple and plain, but with drawings of flowers. For such a bright colored table they will be a great addition. Consider a fashionable tendency for the triumph of favors offered to your guests: each guest can have on his plate a small plant in a bright and interesting pot, decorated with moss and fungi – a great souvenir of a long memory. These fun wedding reception ideas will definitely make you feel playful.
The cake can be done of marzipan and fill the inside with your favorite ingredients. If you decide to do a wedding in Mario style, do not forget to decorate the cake with bright colors and of course, mushrooms!
Winter Wedding Colors
Published February 21, 2012 | This is surprising, but there are people that are terribly fond of the winter season with all its drifts and frost. And they like it so much that they even organize their wedding in the cold season. Brrr! In fact, when all is white around you, you do not have to especially take care of the winter wedding colors and decor as nature has dealt with it. The main thing is that the wedding day to not be very cold, so the bride will be able to pose for wedding photos in the same dress, without any fur coats and jackets. It does not matter what cold is outside because next to her Darling, she will always be warm.

When we talk about a winter wedding, the traditional colors include cool shades: white, blue and silver. But let us move away from these stereotypes and try to apply any color, thus creating the right atmosphere for a magical winter wedding. An excellent alternative to white and blue can be a rich dark blue, dark green, burgundy and purple. The attractiveness of these rich colors on the snow-white background will underline the solemnity of the event.
Winter wedding is one of those celebrations, when you want to show all your imagination and create an extraordinary celebration. To create a fabulous atmosphere, you can use a variety of shimmering organza drapes. Decoration of the main hall can be done by arranging ornamental trees in tubs. Cover the tree branches with silver polish, so you get the effect of frost on your tree. Of course, silver items are just needed for a winter wedding – be it a candles, chandelier, trays, sweets or small gifts.
For a winter wedding it would be appropriate for the bride to wear wonderful accessories that are not always appropriate at other times of the year. A lot of hard woven lace, satin long gloves, a tiara, sparkling brooches, fur cape – all this will look great.

Bridal bouquet can be a classic white. For such a composition roses, tulips, orchids, hydrangeas are perfect. For this bouquet, you can add eucalyptus leaves and wrap the whole composition in silver fabric. No less exciting will look bouquets of burgundy or purple flowers. You can also make a simple yet elegant bouquet of red roses of different varieties. Winter wedding colors do not have to be centered on white, but you can use any other color you like. Imagine the contrast made by a purple pink bouquet on the white snow.
Add the spirit of coming winter holidays to your wedding. Ice sculptures, gifts for guests, silver bells, luxurious white satin ribbons – all these Christmas attributes for creating a festive atmosphere.
Outdoor Wedding Ideas
Published February 20, 2012 | Do you know what wedding is this year’s most anticipated? Of course, the wedding of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, heroes of the Twilight saga. Even if you are not a fan, try to decorate your wedding in the Twilight style, because it is one of the most beautiful love stories in the world. However, do not blindly copy the style, but invent your own decor. If you want to feel the thrills, then some outdoor wedding ideas will be helpful in this regard as the famous wedding took place in the forest.

Therefore, the groom needs not just a classic suit! On the contrary, the bride must be modern. Bouquet in the Twilight style will be easy to make by any florist. Try to incorporate fresh and dried flowers so to emphasize the theme of live – dead, so often discussed in the movie. The design of invitations must be a modern style. Several disproportionate lettering, flowing lines and floral design – that are the main features.
This very unique wedding must be celebrated outdoors. Find a restaurant with an outdoor terrace, a park or in the woods. Well, everything will work fine if there is a small but picturesque meadow surrounded by trees. It will be very touching if the program will include a recitation of love vows. The décor must include translucent light white cloth for the background and hanging long thin strands with buds of white flowers. An abundance of floral may be very expensive and I think one bud on each thread will be sufficient.
The main thing to keep in the decoration of the table is a balance between vintage and modern details. Cullen Family loves designer clothes and prefers minimalism, but Edward is old-fashioned and honors the traditions of his time. The plates are smooth and pure white and appliances-elegant classic. Wrap them in black tape and add fresh flowers.

Above the table hang a garland of woven ball. We assume that this is an Indian theme in our decor, as a reminder of Jacob Black, part-time werewolf and faithful friend of Bella’s. Even more interesting is if we take the traditional ‘dream catchers’ out of the store of ethnic goods.
Offer Bloody Mary as an aperitif for guests. In general, think at the menu in terms of colors: for example, only red and burgundy. The ideal would be a hot dish of roast beef and the wedding cake – cheesecake, filled with cherry jelly. You can entwine garlands of electrical trees, but it is better to hang out impromptu simple glass candle jars. The outdoor wedding ideas will be even more romantic in this obscure and withering light. Twilight is a good inspiration for modern romantics.
