Are You
Seeing Red? |
|
|
Were only 13 days
away until Valentine's Day! And in celebration of that
- what about taking all those "heart's" out there and create
your theme around that!
The great
thing about a heart theme wedding is that supplies are
plentiful. You can
find heart candles, heart candies, heart invitations etc.
But, you don’t have to stop there.
Give your
guests a custom package of deck cards with instructions on how
to play the game hearts (hearts is a trick taking game in which
the object is to avoid winning tricks containing hearts).
Or even set up an area for individuals to lounge (smoke
cigars - not sure if smoking is allowed anywhere anymore
though....) and play a few games of hearts.
Or instead of
giving away a favor to your guests, make a donation to the Heart
and Stroke foundation instead.
And the
color. Red is hot.
It is one of the biggest color trends for 2008.

Red is the color of love/passion.
Roll out a red carpet for your guests; the “red carpet
treatment” is a way to make your guests feel special or like a
celebrity.
If doing your
whole reception in red makes you “seeing red” than consider
just adding bursts of red throughout the venue such as
scattering red roses throughout the venue or on the tabletops.
Or mix red
with softer colors such as pinks, yellows or purples.
Consider a bouquet of pink roses mixed with single red
roses throughout it.
If your
wedding is going to be the “greatest party” of the year –
than let your guests “paint the town red” at your wedding.
Instead of having a guest book, set up a paint station
and let your guests paint a red heart with their signature on a
large poster board. You
can then frame the poster and display it in your home as a
constant reminder of your wedding.
And of
course, if red is going to be your color – make sure you take
the “red eye” flight that night to your honeymoon
destination.

Get
Ready For Some Jungle Love |
On my Weekly What To
Trend List - I included a book below - which took me back to
Africa. My husband and I spent a month their for our
honeymoon & it was a trip of a lifetime. Loved it!
In
the book, The White Masai: My Exotic Tale of Love and Adventure ,
Corinne Hofmann tells how she falls in love with an African
warrior while on holiday in Kenya , the photos of her in her white
"classic" wedding dress surrounded by the Masai is fantastic -
talk about incorporating two very different traditions.
The
Urban Safari Theme Wedding is of course one
of my favourite themes for many reasons and it's extremely easy to
do.
|
 |
No continent is even
vaguely comparable to what Africa offers. It has a limitless
amount of diversity and anything you can possibly conceive of -
can happen in this land.
This is possibly one of the most unique weddings to have. As by
holding an Urban Safari Wedding; you enable your guests a glimpse
into this wonderful land of beauty. Check it out today in
Unique Theme Weddings along with all the other great themes!
"I had no idea
what type of wedding I wanted....Not
knowing what I wanted to do for my wedding, I bought the book.
Unique Theme Weddings gave me the idea - my fiancé
and I met at the zoo and as soon as I started reading
the Urban Safari wedding - I knew this was it!
I followed the theme to a tee - it was fantastic.
Thanks for all the help!"

WHAT TO READ: The White Masai: My Exotic Tale of Love and Adventure |

The White Masai: My Exotic Tale of Love and Adventure
When your looking for some de-stressing...get your hands on this
runaway international bestseller.
Corinne Hofmann tells how
she falls in love with an African warrior while on holiday in Kenya.
After overcoming severe obstacles, she moves into a tiny hut with him
and his mother, and spends four years in his Kenyan village. Slowly
but surely, the dream starts to crumble, and she hatches a plan to
return home with her daughter, a baby born of the seemingly
indestructible love between a white European woman and a Masai.
Compulsively readable, The White Masai is at once a hopelessly
romantic love story, a gripping adventure yarn, and a fine piece of
meticulously observed social anthropology. |
