Puliz Album - 10x15 Elegance Album

This happens to be one of my sample albums and is shown in Napa Pear Leather which is a beautiful sued type leather. It also has Black Gilding and Black Name stamping which is a nice contrast to the tan. This is one of the largest Albums you can get but is well worth it!

Garden Weddings

With the warmer weather approaching, one of the places you may want to consider holding an outdoor wedding is in your garden. Hosting a garden wedding takes a lot of planning but it’s easier than you think. There is nothing like getting married outdoors in the sunshine, surrounded by loved ones. You have the choice of a formal or casual wedding. Going casual, you can reduce expenses by a large margin.

It’s a good idea to have a seperate section with a decorated archway for the vows, with an aisle covered in rose petals leading to the gazebo. This makes for beautiful photos.

Floral arrangements need not be elaborate. If the garden is pretty and in good shape, you won’t need much in the way of flowers. A simple lantern with votives can be oh so stunning as centrepieces on flowery tablecloths.

To give your wedding more of an event feel, as opposed to a normal get together, consider having caterers do the food. A spitbraai in a seperate corner is the ideal solution. Have lots of cold drinks on hand such as punch cocktails and juice.

When the sun starts to set you’ll have to have some form of lighting. Lanterns, candles in glass jars hanging from trees and fairy lights will do the trick. Be fabulous and have fun

I LOVE Wedding Dresses.... slightly unique ones at that. Here are a few that I thought were really beautiful. Let me know what you think!

Unique Cakes

I love it when brides step out of the normal and show us unique and beautiful cakes. Here are a few I thought I would share:

Wedding Trends 2010 Part Two

After more research I came up with a few more trends. 

3. Winter/Christmas Themed Wedding

Something about this makes me want to snuggle up next to the fireplace with the man I love...

If winter is your favorite season or Christmas you favorite holiday, then this is the theme for you. Not only can you get great off season deals but you can do it in style!

4. Island theme Wedding

One of the most fun things about the island theme wedding are the decorations. Think bright, beautiful, tropical colors like bright pink, orange, turquoise or sunny yellow accented with green. Flowers should include exotic tropical choices like hibiscus, bamboo orchid, plumeria, bamboo orchid and red ginger, for example. The more flowers, the better! 

5. Organic Elegance

I love the smell of fresh herbs in the summer and having them be incorporated into a garden wedding is just perfect. There are so many ways to incorporate herbs into a wedding (or even a bridal shower), including:
• the actual bouquets and boutonnieres
• actual decor (wreaths, hanging pots, centerpieces)
• favors (potted herbs doing double duty has take home gifts and place cards)
• food (herb butter, herb roasted potatoes, thyme marinated grilled chicken, Summer herb crusted salmon)

Plus, herbs are a great solution for "green weddings". Not only are they green in color, but they are eco-friendly when planted in pots and given to guests to take home and use.
