Don't overlook Aisle Decoration!. Your entrance down the aisle marks the start of a new life for you and your fiancé: Make it glamorous! Traditionally, the walkway is adorned with flower petals. For a twist on this look, sprinkle the petals along the sides of the aisle, place them together in small clusters, or spread the flowers out individually. Don’t forget about the traditional hanging flowerpot, which looks classy and elegant at the same time. To add a spin on this classical look, place the containers next to the chair legs (instead of hanging) and let them guide your guests into their row. A new idea is candles (best for evening weddings) which can add a new sparkle to your ceremony. Candles can look excellent when multiple candles are grouped together. If ...

What is a groom’s cake you may ask?  A groom’s cake is a southern tradition that has been making a comeback in recent years. Groom’s cakes are often served at the rehearsal dinner or on a separate table from the wedding cake.  This dessert is typically smaller in size and richer in flavor (like dark chocolate!), or soaked in liqueur.  Also, since this cake is meant to honor the groom it is often designed to reflect his hobbies or interests.  Poker or golf themed cakes are common examples.  A groom’s cake is a charming touch that will make your future husband feel special on a day that is typically geared toward the bride. Legend has it that if a single woman takes a piece home and sleeps with it under her pillow, she will dream of her future husband!

Planning for a wedding in the winter?

Red roses look polished for winter weddings, but a simple variety of white flowers in your bouquet wrapped in crystals is another good choice. For centerpieces try candles to add a sense of warmth to the reception. If you want to splurge try going with ice sculptures or feathers with crystals hanging off of them.
