Gone are the days when the fingers were used to support a slice of wedding cake in order to lift it onto the plate.  Not only is it not in sync with the rules of acceptable social graces, but it also looks simply improper.

  

Cake servers are great reasons to celebrate. They are often stream lined with clean and distinct edges.  This flutes and cake knife serving set is crafted in smooth glass, intricately edged acrylic and stainless steel.  This wedding cake knife and server set is destined to succeed.  Your fingers are expected to curl around the handle of the cake server or the knife, but definitely not to support the slice of cake on its way to the plate.  Allow the very attractive cake server to perform its function with great efficiency.

Brides and Grooms today are more outspoken about their likes and dislikes.  They make realistic decisions about what they would like to see implemented during their wedding ceremony.  In many instances they move away from traditional activities and embrace new ones that they feel are more relevant to how they want to live their married life.

 

What they put on top of their wedding cake is another classic example of the shift we have seen over the years.  Brides and grooms do not seem to favor the cold stiff statue of a man and woman standing on top of the cake.  Instead they request their flowers of choice or any symbol that’s relevant to them.  An example of a wedding cake top  that seems to be a favorite of many couples is the personalized acrylic heart shape topper.  This cake topper seems to be as popular as it is attractive.

Today couples can choose from a collection of printable wedding invitation kits, response cards, and thank you notes.  They are given the flexibility to mix and match in whichever way they choose.  Writing your own invitation to your own wedding gives  an awesome feeling of pride.

When the writing is finished, the right packaging becomes the focus.  Couples seem to enjoy coordinating the color scheme of the invitation paper and jacket as well as  the delicate bow to tie it all together. 

Social Graces and Champagne Flutes

More and more brides and grooms are moving away from the basic foundation rules of 
Social graces.  This applies to the way they walk the way they sit at the table and the manner  in which they hold their champagne flutes.

A champagne flute is a delicate stem glass that commands elegance.   Anything less than a graceful hold between two fingers and lightly supported by a third finger can be construed as clumsy and improper. Another thing that should be attended to when lightly lifting the champagne flute is the posture of the individual.  Poor posture with elbows sticking out paints an awkward picture.
 
The bride and her groom want to look their best on their special day and the brushed rhinestone champagne flutes will bring out the right amount of dazzle on their big day.   The wedding champagne flutes feature a glass tulip top with a brushed silver base also accented by a ring of rhinestones.  This stem glass has the potential to bring out the very best in the special couple of the day!

It is such a nice feeling that the young man and woman will exchange wedding vows and then be swept away in a fairytale cloud of everlasting wedding bliss.  The reality is that on their way back from the honeymoon the real world starts to rear its ugly face.  This is really the time when this wonderful couple starts to draw from their years of solid upbringing.  All the lessons that were modeled by their parents will come back either gradually or like a flood that knows no boundary.

 

The single unity wedding candle that the couple lit during the ceremony was lit from two individual candles, representing the two families from which the couple came. Two families with maybe different cultural values and who sometimes come from different countries.  Yet, their children saw it fit to fall in love and marry each other regardless of the challenges that initially faced them. This, very often is the glue that helps to keep some couples together.  This is proof that families all over the world love and value their offsprings and care enough to model their values to them sometimes consciously or unconscientiously.  This is solid proof that the family unit is resilient and can bounce back after adversity.

A properly planned wedding will usually have a checklist of items from the bridal shower to the honeymoon all covered in one way or the other.  Most weddings today have a coordinator that handles everything that is directly or indirectly connected to this event.One item that sometimes gets overlooked is the appreciation gift for the smallest members of the wedding party.  These are the ‘child attendants’ such as the town crier, the ring bearer, the flower girl etc. 

A great idea for a gift is the heart awareness fleece blanket that is crafted with the softest fleece and features a heart awareness red dress with pink embroidered design.  These colorful children’s gifts are bound to be well received.

Are Children important in your wedding?

Children have historically played a very important role in weddings. It is popularly believed that children add an air of innocence to the wedding scene. The little boy who carries the ring pillow is the picture of innocence.  The little flower girl is usually delicately dressed in bows and ribbons and is prepped to look pleasant while dutifully scattering the fragrant rose petals contained in her fancy flower girl basket.
It is quite obvious that the sight of children softens the heart of people.  If that scene were a fund raiser the level of contribution would immediately spike.  Children are like magic, they cause instant change.

So then, are children really important in a wedding ceremony? You bet they are. It is not surprising that the couple usually tries to secure some kind of children’s personalized gifts for the children in their wedding party.

   The bachelorette party is designed to officially bring one season of a woman’s life to its end and to embark upon another chapter of her life. There is usually food and fun and gifts from her girl friends and lots of advice on how to behave in her new role as wife.It is strongly believed that this party should go all out to celebrate the bride to be. 

My friend Wendy arrived at her bachelorette party and got the surprise of her life. One of her friends, May, who helped to plan the party, greeted Wendy as she walked through the door and graciously pinned a sash from her shoulder to her hip and back up to her shoulder again. On her head she placed a tiara with a flowing white veil complete with a satin hand band and tulle fabric.  May raved about the section of the department store where she purchased these items. The products were labeled unique women’s gifts.

We talked before about the importance of selecting the right kind of accessories for your outfit.  You can make or break a first impression just by your choice of accessories.  It is commonly believed that one rarely gets a second chance to make a first impression.  In this culture forgiveness is often seen as a rare commodity.  When an individual fails to create a successful first impression either by a flawed appearance or an awkward expression it leaves an enormous sense of embarrassment and lingers way too long for comfort. 

The above scenario can be avoided by following one simple rule of thumb. It is better to be stingy on your clothes than on your accessories.  Be a good negotiator and get good value for your money.  You should aim not to have to break the bank in order to wear good quality wedding jewelry such as a three piece bridal pearl jewelry set. A bride most likely will have only one time to make a lasting impression. Therefore we say ‘cheers to the lovely bride’.
