Wedding Planning Tips

There are many brides-to-be who prefer that their wedding planner takes care of everything. However, there are many who like to put their signature on the wedding too, and make it as special and memorable as possible. If you want a wedding other than the rest, you should be an active member in the planning process. Here are a few tips and tricks that will elevate your wedding above mainstream. Each point in your wedding planning process can be added something extravagant, and then your wedding in its entirety will be unique.

Wedding Dress Accessories

You have chosen your pure white wedding dress embedded with crystals, white satin ribbons, pearls and lace, but you need to create that special effect. You will definitely stand out from the mainstream brides’ collective, if you buy or rent a belle époque style white umbrella which will look stunning in those photos. This is an accessory which will perfectly match an elegant formal style wedding.

If you plan a less formal wedding, where fun and color predominate, you can think of a fairytale princess wedding gown that will definitely impress everybody. You do not have to copy Snow White, but choose accessories that seem to have come from a world of fantasy: a wonderful tiara (something today’s brides have forgotten about!), elbow length satin gloves and a pair of elegant shoes embedded with crystals (quite costly, but they will make all the difference).

Your Special Wedding Cake

If your wedding is planned during the winter holidays, you should choose a French style wedding cake, which resembles a Christmas tree in structure. These are called “croquembouche” cakes; why not bring a little bit of European tradition into your wedding. Just make sure to have it decorated with white and red marzipan roses. Everybody will be amazed by the delicious pastry tower.

If you do not want too many decorations and color, a simple white wedding cake decorated with fresh flowers is also something both trendy and special. Choose a beautiful and symbolic topper, which goes in tone with the theme of your wedding. For beach side weddings choose a starfish topper, for a very formal and simple wedding put a crystal heart topper on your cake. This is how simplicity can be turned into glamour and elegance.

Destination: Yet Unknown

After a special wedding, you should also spend a special time on your honeymoon. Here are some honeymoon destinations that are out of the ordinary, but that’s why they can offer mesmerizing experiences:

• “P.S I Love You”- didn’t you just love the movie? Then what would you say of a honeymoon spent in the countryside of Ireland. Here you will have plenty of things to do and see: wonderful castles, fresh air, nice little traditional cottages, pubs with amazing live music…just something different.
• Jumping to the other side of the world – Africa- not a common honeymoon destination, but certainly a most magnificent experience. While others spend honeymoons on beach sides, you could be riding camels in the desert, or take in adventure and go on an original safari tour.
• Backpacker’s honeymoons- because not everything has to be just comfort and luxury, you could try the fun and adventure with a backpacker’s honeymoon. Book a destination of your choice and off you go! You should enjoy this kind of freedom now, because after your children will arrive, you will not be able to unveil your spirit for adventure in this way for a good period of time.
