Something Old, Something New |
 Something old, something new, something borrowed . . . we’ve all heard
it a million times. But do we take the time to think of something old?
Something like tradition? Or meaning? We live in a modern world filled
with iPods, camera phones, DVDs, electric cars, and computers that
basically do everything for us...

 EVERYONE always fears the “bridesmaid” dress. Peach taffeta and iridescent satin with puffy sleeves and neck-to-cleavage lace. UHG! And let’s not forget the sprigs of baby’s breath tucked in the crevices of your French “Twist” bun. Mercifully, trends have brought us far away from the puffy sleeves and V-neck “No-No’s.” Thanks to trend setters Vera Wang, Saeyoung Vu, Threads and other designers, bridesmaid dresses can be worn after the big day.

# 1 - LOUNGING ANYWHERE
Wonder what to do to a resort ballroom to make it more interesting and intimate? You can create individual lounge areas by renting tents of sheer flowing fabric and adding sofas and coffee tables with lots of candlelight in them. You’ve suddenly created that romantic lounge atmosphere in a standard ballroom and given it more intimacy.

#31 FLORAL DECOR
No wedding is complete without flowers. Try updating the traditional
centerpiece by using masses of your favorite flowers in a variety of
complementary tones for added texture and interest. For instance, if
your bloom-of-choice is the gerbera daisy, try one centerpiece with
dozens of red gerberas, another with orange, and another with
fuchsia-colored bunches. Let your imagination run wild!

#26 MARRYING MINDFULLY
Creating the “perfect wedding” can easily overshadow what is really
important about getting married—creating a sacred and lifelong bond
with your beloved. Your wedding is not a “to-do” list. Take time to
tend to your relationship and to yourselves so that you enter into the
celebration relaxed, joyful, and with a full heart.
