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.

#16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
Reception spaces are taking on a comfort
theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are
creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy
furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and
draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You
may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry
ambiance. Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers! You can also
use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!

#11 QUICK FIX
Traveling with an emergency kit is like the American Express campaign, “Don’t leave home without it.” It should have everything from panty hose and nail glue to smelling salts and Tums, but the most commonly used item is SAFETY PINS! Although you should have a needle and thread, I have resorted to using safety pins for fixing hems on tuxedos, bustling the brides gown, pinning broken bra straps and creating a veil or headpiece out of tulle when the bride’s was left at home. Safety pins are great for a “quick fix.”

#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.
