Wedding Party Planning

Weddings are once in a lifetime (well, at least in most cases) and it makes sense to choose a proper theme and plan out the party preparations in advance to ensure the party is remembered for a long time to come.

Special Themes

When it comes to wedding parties, most people do not want to leave any stone unturned. Hence, various themes and special concepts are planned for wedding parties.

Common and ever popular themes include Lake Tahoe wedding where the entire wedding takes place in the scenic Lake Tahoe, In The Clouds themes where artificial fog, beautiful white bean bags and rose perfumes characterise the party in an imaginary cloud setting, Lancelot and Geuenivere theme, where the concept is about the bride cheating on the husband and finding another man to marry as well as several other exciting themes.

Other popular wedding themes include those of Romeo and Juliet, Elvis, Mount Olympus, Anthony and Cleopatra, fairy tale, royalty, wedding beside the sea and many others.

Outdoor Wedding Decorations

In case the wedding is being planned in the outdoors, special consideration needs to be made for the decorations. Summer wedding are largely held outdoors and everything from the entrance, seating areas, altar etc. should be decorated properly.

Unique pathways, garden fountains, flower-draped arbour all will help lend extra charm to the entrance. Flower urns could be placed along the pathway. In terms of seating, especially in outdoor settings, chairs will most likely have to be rented.

The arrangement of chairs is crucial as well because guests need to feel they are invited to an intimate gathering. Each person should have the best possible view of both groom and bride. Flowers and ribbons are the best decorations when it comes to the chairs.

The altar is another very crucial highlight of any wedding. For flat grounds, elevation of the groom, bride and the officiant should be considered. With sturdy high platforms this is easily accomplished.

Wedding Favour Ideas

Wedding favours are an intrinsic part of any wedding party and some ideas for making them by oneself are included below:

Scratch off lottery tickets:
With these lotto tickets, the advantage is that guests will surely use them.

Homemade jams:
If the family is known for making amazing jams, wedding favours are the time to show off those skills. Homemade jams can be packed in small jars with a nice ribbon.

Chocolates:
No one can resist a good chocolate, especially if the wrapper is handmade. The host can remove the original wrapper and put in a new one with a customised graphic design on it.

Flower bouquets:
While this one maybe a classic wedding favour, flowers never go out of style. Beautiful sprigs of flowers can be placed inside plastic vials. Many of these vials can then be wrapped in beautiful wrappers and decorated with a nice ribbon.

Potted herbs:
With global warming being a major concern, potted plants as gifts are always welcome. Rosemary, basil and thyme make excellent choices as gifts because most people use them in cooking.
