Blushing fiancés like nothing better than to be blushing brides. It is every little girl’s dream to fall in love with that seemingly perfect man, have the ala-Princess Diana wedding of the century, and settle into a happy and fulfilled married life. But before you get comfortable, you need to prepare for one of the biggest and most memorable events in your life – your wedding. Yes ladies, this is your big chance to be in control and show everyone how much you and your partner love each other – from the ceremony to the reception. And in both opportunities, you naturally want only the finest wedding paraphernalia you can get. Wedding accessories are a fun opportunity to further satisfy an engaged woman’s shopping fantasies. One might even turn into such a perfectionist in her quest for the best wedding accessories. But to help keep that lady from stressing out over the details, here are some wonderful ideas that are easy to find and will surely wow your guests with no effort at all.
To start off, your wedding cake server set can be functional and cute at the same time. At your wedding reception, impress everyone with your eye for detail by wrapping lovely ribbons and lace on your server. Have not got the time for this little art project? Go out and look for a pretty heart shaped or heart detailed server that your guests will all be agog for.
Next on your list is the perfect adornment for your wedding cake. While the cake itself should taste decadent, you also want to have a beautiful cake topper as well. You can personalize your cake topper by having it engraved with you and your groom’s initials, in addition to a symbol of your love. It does not have to be the standard ceramic bride and groom figurines, no! Be different and choose something else – double hearts, or something else that symbolizes your love that guests will recognize and appreciate.
The wedding guestbook also needs some jazzing up, especially since it will contain a lot of beautiful messages from all your guests. If you’ve been bitten by the artistic bug, you can create a collage of you and your husband’s pictures on the front and back of the book. Tech-savvy brides can also use a software which will allow you to design a beautiful cover and have it printed out. There are websites that allow you to do this, and all you have to do is wait for them to ship your customized wedding book!

Formal weddings nowadays average almost $30,000 so there is definitely enough incentive for most couples to ask for the right wedding etiquette … who pays for what ? Until not too long ago, it was seldom a question for brides and grooms as to who will pick up the wedding expenses. At least for formal weddings, the traditional way has always been for the bride’s father, her family respectively, to pay for their daughter’s wedding. One major reason for this “traditional” rule was that couples used to get married at a comparatively early stage in their life, starting off their life together at a point where financial dependency to their parents was often the rule. This however changed over the past few decades. Nowadays, couples often not only get married at a later point in their life, but also at a point where they are financially secured enough to cover their own wedding expenses. Another
reason why the traditional “wedding etiquette, who pays for what” changed – at least if we want to believe polls asking “newly-wed” couples – is that more and more couples nowadays want to have their own “say” in the wedding. From the guest-list to the menu, from the flower bouquets to the wedding cake … should the wedding have classical music, or the couple’s most favorite local band … should we really invite uncle xyz, who never agreed to our wedding to begin with ? I am trying to summarize useful information on
this and related wedding topics on my webpage http://www.perfectweddingetiquette.com and one of the things that I noticed while
researching and then putting all the information together, is that the topic of wedding etiquette is a truly wide minefield; the same holds true for the wedding shower – planning; here, too, there are so many things to keep an eye on http://www.perfectweddingetiquette.com/weddingshoweretiquette.html In order to comply with today’s “correct” etiquette, one has to do some serious research – the perfect wedding etiquette is needed for questions like who pays for what at the wedding, or the etiquette for wedding / bridal showers, wedding invitations and wedding registries, and so on…
