 How To Avoid Wedding Debt...

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  I decided to give myself a gift and have left for some R & R in Phoenix with my mom.  So - I figure this is a good time to "fire" me this week.  If you are looking to avoid wedding debt, I highly recommend Stephi Stewart's "Fire Your Wedding Planner" book.

"In her "eye opening" book, Stephi Stewart reveals how she beat the wedding industry at it's own game and made her dream wedding come true, saving over $10,000 in the process. Inside she demonstrates step-by-step how any bride can take control of her wedding, avoid industry scams, get insider prices and much more... Definitely a "Must Read" if you're a "bride on a budget!.  All the details are here...

 Multiple Wedding Themes Are Gaining Popularity This Year...

Even though I am taking a bit of a break.  I found out the other day about this great new 2008 wedding trend happening and couldn't wait to let you know about though....

Are you having a difficult time deciding on your wedding theme?  Can't decide on just one theme?  Then incorporate two or three different wedding themes.  Many brides are opting to add different elements from different themes to create something completely new and unique.

Think of it as A Wedding Fusion Theme!

By combining, you don't even have to make it complicated or more expensive.  It's very simple to take themes within Unique Theme Weddings and incorporate different elements and have a several different wedding themes happening.

For example:

To show you how you can combine different themes together, we have a created a sample idea from using The Passage to Passion (India) wedding, The Fluttering Fantasy (Butterflies) wedding and The Seashore Shindig (Beach) wedding from Unique Theme Weddings .

If you like the bold colors (1) from the India wedding try finding fabric that incorporates these colors with butterflies (2) on it.

You could use this fabric for many things throughout your wedding depending on your preference. For example, the tablecloths, napkins or even your bridesmaid dresses (you could do the top in the fabric and then select a complementing color for the bottom or vice versa - if the fabric is too much for a full dress).

Or make cushions out of the fabric or use them as dressings for chairs (3) and add a picnic umbrella in a complementing color (4) to the table.

For your centrepieces, get silver bucket tins or sand pails (5, 6) and place flowers in them along with butterfly picks (7). Also scatter sand around the tables and etch the words “love”, “forever” in it (8).

If you are having flower girls at your wedding, consider finding some wings to place on the back of their dresses so they can float down the aisle before you!

And have the groomsman wear starfish boutonnieres instead of the traditional flowers and add a butterfly to the starfish.

You see, it is very easy to incorporate ideas together! Try it and we promise you that your wedding will be an event people are talking about for years to come!

For more great theme ideas, make sure you get your copy of Unique Theme Weddings to create a wedding like no other!


1) PASSAGE TO PASSION WEDDING: Use fushia has a monochromatic color throughout the wedding. Fushia is the color of love and joy in India. Have fushia tablecloths, napkins, bridesmaid dresses, flowers etc.”
2) FLUTTERING FANTASY WEDDING: Consider picking one butterfly and using that color throughout the wedding. For example, some Monarch Butterflies are black and orange. Have your tablecloths in black and accent the table with gold/yellow napkins, dinnerware etc. You have a multitude of different coloring options as these creatures come in every color so use your imagination!
3) PASSAGE TO PASSION WEDDING: Get rid of those chairs! Use piles of silky cushions on the floor instead. The cushions will also double as a beautiful blend of colors for your wedding.
4) SEASHORE SHINDIG: Use picnic umbrellas on the tables. If you are having your reception outside, these will be great for your guests trying to escape the heat and plus they add a “beachy” look to your reception.”
5) SEASHORE SHINDIG: Chill champagne or beer in sand pails on each table
6) SEASHORE SHINDIG: Use silver bucket tins or decorative beach pails for your centerpieces. You could get your florist to place flowers in them or you could put children's sand toys inside of them.
7) FLUTTERING FANTASY WEDDING: If you want to go with a simple flower arrangement for your centerpiece, try finding butterfly picks to place in with the flowers. For your flowers, pick nectar flower arrangements which butterflies tend to visit such as aster, butterfly bush and cosmos or lilacs and daises which also attract butterflies.”
8)SEASHORE SHINDIG WEDDING: Place sand on the table and etch words on each table such as “love”, “forever” etc.. You could also add a variety of seashells placed on the sand to create a beach effect.
