Wedding Flower | Christmas Wedding Flowers

The Christmas holidays are a joyful and festive season of the year. Christmas weddings can be just as exciting as the season itself by using beautiful silk Christmas flowers in your bouquets and decorations. The Red rose symbolizes love and makes beautiful hand tied bouquets, especially when wrapping the stems with silver ribbons adorned with pearls. Small silver bells can be added to carry out a Silver Bells wedding theme. When carried down the aisle by a bridesmaid, their sounds add excitement and ambiance to the wedding theme.

A story about the Christmas rose is linked to the birth of Christ. A poor shepherd girl named Madelon was tending her sheep on the night Christ was born. The wise men and other shepherds were giving gifts of gold, myrrh, frankincense, fruit and honey to the Christ child. Madelon had nothing to give and began to cry. As she wept an angel passed by seeing her and stooped down brushing away snow at her feet to uncover the most beautiful Christmas rose which she presented as her gift of love for the new baby. When choosing Christmas wedding bouquets, remember to keep size in mind. Especially the brides bouquet. An oversized bouquet can distract from the brides wedding gown. The wedding bouquet should compliment the wedding gown and help show off the bride and her beauty. After all she is the main attraction of the day.

Cartoon Wedding Invitations | Getting Married Is Supposed To Be Fun

Cartoon wedding invitations are a fun twist on traditional formal wedding invitations. Let's face it, no matter how much money people spend on their wedding invitations, very rarely do you receive one that truly captures your attention. They all kind of look the same despite any effort to make them unique. This isn't the case with cartoon wedding invitations. Each wedding invitation is totally unique to the individual couple. These invitations are often creative and individual expressions of the couple's personality. You can provide all the detailed information a wedding invitation requires but the clever presentation will catch the eye of everyone!

Your cartoon wedding invitations can include your favorite cartoon or comic book characters, perhaps dressed in full wedding apparel to represent you and your significant other. Another idea is to set it up like a newspaper comic, a four panel cartoon, informing people of your wedding date. You may also decide to have an illustrator create caricatures of the two of you for the enjoyment of friends and family. The caricature portrait could display the two of you in funny situations or poses. An exaggerated caricature portrait may be something that wedding guests would likely keep in a scrapbook to remember the event and laugh at your colorful and clever wedding invitation.

Butterfly Wedding Cake | Butterfly Release and Other Wedding Trends

The tradition of a bride and groom departing from their wedding reception in a cloud of thrown rice has long since past. Not only is the concept of rice throwing an old trend, but it also presents problems for the environment (birds mistake the rice for food and can choke on it), and it makes a huge mess for the venue to clean. Still, every newlywed couple desires a dramatic send-off to their honeymoon, and that means getting creative. Presently, there are several unique trends in the wedding world to send the happy couple off to their new life in a fun and mess-free fashion. A growing favorite among wedding parties has become the release of live animals. Dove releases have been a part of different ceremonies throughout history.

One of the greatest advantages of a butterfly release is that every guest, young and old, can participate, if the couple chooses. Many companies provide the inexpensive butterflies in individual boxes or other personalized butterfly wedding favors for guests to take home. Guests will love to see the beautiful butterflies floating from bouquet to bouquet or landing on a guest's shoulder. These tender moments with the butterflies make wedding photos come alive and leave lasting impressions on everyone in attendance. Butterflies also carry a heavy symbolic weight. Because of their transformation process from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly, they represent a transition and renewed life. Just like the butterflies, husband and wife are emerging to take their first steps in their new life together.

Butterfly Wedding Themes | Fluttery Decor For a Whimsical Marriage Ceremony

For the ceremonial part of your wedding day, you can easily incorporate butterflies into the theme of your special day. Butterfly wedding accessory collections come in a variety of colors including white, pastel blue, pretty pink, soft green and pastel lavender. A whimsical flower girl basket for carrying rose petals down the aisle; a ring bearer pillow to carry the precious wedding bands; the slightly naughty butterfly garter for the bride to wear on her wedding day or to toss at the wedding reception. To remember the ceremony, a butterfly theme guest signing book and fancy satin wrapped pen set are also available in your favorite butterfly themed colours. In written form, the traditional wedding bulletin or program can be printed on butterfly stationary cards for an elegant touch that ties the whole theme together.

Of course, one of the ultimate special touches for a butterfly theme wedding is to have real, live butterflies released right after the bride and groom exchange wedding vows. A really nice touch is to give everyone at the wedding ceremony their own special butterfly box and have everyone release a butterfly at the same time. This can be a nice alternative to throwing rice or blowing bubbles as the bride and groom walk down the aisle as newly pronounced husband and wife. A few tips if you choose to do this: Butterflies will only fly when the temperature is above 55 degrees and preferably sunny. If the weather is very cold or very hot, the butterflies may not take flight at your wedding. Naturally, this means that for night and candlelit weddings, butterflies will probably not leave their little box.
