 Unique
Wedding Idea: Looking for a unique alternative to
"clinking glasses" at your wedding reception? Announce to
your guests that in order for you to kiss, they must stand up and
tell a story, or share a memory, about either you or your fiance, or
about you as a couple. Then get ready to reminisce, to laugh, and to
brush away tears. Your guests will be kept entertained and you'll
have so many more special memories of your big day to look back upon. |
Unique
Wedding Idea: Assign someone to snap pictures of guests
as they arrive at the reception using an instant camera. After the
wedding, sign each photo, add your wedding date, and include a short
word of thanks to each guest for having attended. Mail the photos to
the guests along with your thank-you cards as an extra special memento.
 Unique
Wedding Idea: Personalization is
what weddings are all about now. Couples are looking for ways to
leave their own personal imprint on their wedding, to make it
truly their own. Check out the engraved monogram
on these personalized
centerpiece vases, left.
We love, love, LOVE this
idea! Simply add a few stems of fresh roses or other favorite
flower and you've got a signature centerpiece that oozes class
and style. And its all do-it-yourself -- no florist required, yet
it'll look like you hired a high end florist to put the look
together. In the photo at left, water
pearls have been added to the bottom of each vase for extra
visual impact (you can also use mystic
crystals. At the end of the reception, the vases and flowers can
be given away as wonderful gifts to special guests or helpers,
bridesmaids (or draw names at each table to pick the guest who gets
to take the centerpiece home) - the vase will be an elegant piece for
them to enjoy in their home that will remind them of your wedding
forever. (Also see no-florist-required bridal
bouquets.)
Unique
Wedding Idea: Every bride is looking for unqiue ideas and
special ways to make her wedding more meaningful. Here is a wonderful
and very touching idea to honor the two mothers at the wedding
ceremony. But be certain to have lots of hankies on hand because this
is guaranteed to tear up the eyes of everyone present...
Ask your floral
designer to design two detachable floral sprays into your bouquet.
After your father walks you down the aisle, just before he turns to
leave you and take his seat, remove one of the special flowers from
your bouquet.
Hand it to him and give him a kiss. Let him know in advance that
this will take place and tell him that as he takes his seat in the
pew with your mother, he is to present the flower to her on your behalf.
Then at the
conclusion of the ceremony, as you begin to make your way back up the
aisle as husband and wife, stop at the pew where your mother-in-law
is seated. Remove the second special flower from your bouquet
and present it to her, along with a kiss, before continuing up the aisle.
Don't tell the
moms in advance that this will be taking place! It is the element of
surprise which helps to make this so very sweet and special. There
will not be a dry eye in the room...
 Unique
Wedding Idea: Here's a fabulous and wonderfully unique
wedding favor idea! Searching for something a little more interesting
than tulle-wrapped candy or useless little do-dads? Make it really special.
Give your guests an elegant, but extraordinary gift they can grow.
We found plantable
seed cards of handmade paper which have flower seeds embedded
right into the paper. Your guests can literally plant a memory of
your wedding. Here's how: Purchase a card for every guest, and
include a handwritten note in each, thanking them for sharing your
special day. This in itself is a very warm and personal way to show
your appreciation to your guests for attending - but this little
favor is a gift that keeps on giving!  After
the wedding, your guests will be able to plant the paper and watch
it grow into real, living - and very lovely flowers. They
simply "plant" the entire card into the earth, and soon it
will begin to grow. Each card comes with planting instructions. The
flowers it produces will be yet a second very special gift to
them, from you, which will help them to remember your wedding. You
will be in their thoughts often as they enjoy the prettiness of the
flowers growing in their garden. Rest assured that they will tell
every passing neighbour, and every visitor who stops to admire their
garden, the story of how they grew flowers from the amazing little
card of thanks given to them by you, on your wedding day. A
very special remembrance of a very special day and couple. These
handmade seed cards can also be used for extra-special wedding
invitations, bridal shower invites, or thank-you cards.
Unique
Wedding Idea: Did you know that if you are Catholic, you
can have your marriage blessed by the Pope himself? You need simply
send one of your wedding invitations to the Vatican for a blessing,
along with a donation. You will then be sent a papal blessing which
can be framed and treasured for a life time for it's deep and special
meaning. Ask your priest to provide you with information on precisely
where and whom to address the invitation.
Unique
Wedding Idea: Incorporate a piece of history and age old
tradition into your wedding bouquet. Orange blossoms are one of the
most highly traditional flowers which can be included in the bridal
bouquet. Brides have being carrying this particular flower on their
wedding day for centuries. In fact, it is perhaps the very first
flower ever
to be carried in a wedding bouquet, and one very rich in meaning and
symbolism. What makes it so special? The orange tree was thought to
be very significant because it is the only plant that bears both
the flower and
the fruit at the same time, a trait which symbolizes abundance.
It was believed that by carrying blossoms from the orange tree in the
wedding bouquet, the blessing of an abundance of all things beautiful
and nurturing would be passed along to the new marriage. You can
incorporate this special meaning into your own bouquet by having your
florist include a few orange blossoms among the blooms you will carry
on your wedding day, just as brides throughout the centuries have done.
 Unique
Wedding Idea Left:
Create a montage of images to visually share your personal story
with your guests. A perfect way to decorate your guest book table or
other prominent location at the reception. Plan to greet guests with
a table of sunny cocktails and a photo frame filled with fun images
of the two of you growing together. One image can be replaced with a
note directing guests to take a drink or an invitation to sign a the
guest book. Fun,versatile and a memorable keepsake. These tabletop
hinged photo
screens come in two different finishes and two size options.
Unique
Wedding Idea: Many brides or grooms struggle with the
dilema of what to get for the love of their life as a wedding gift.
On this most important of all occasions, it has to be something extra
special... and very romantic, but somehow the ideas just don't
seem to flow. We found a unique idea that we absolutely love -
the perfect solution... For a very small fee you can have a
star named after your sweetheart as a wedding gift to them. Yes,
an actual star in the
sky.
Stars have been named after celebrities, dignitaries and other
special people for years. Bet you didn't know that you can do this
for the person you love as a unique and utterly unforgettable gift.
When you name a star for someone you love you also receive a
parchment certificate, available framed or unframed, with the name of
the person you are naming a star after, the dedication date, and
telescopic coordinates of the star. You'll be sent a booklet with
charts of the constellations plus a larger, more detailed chart with
the star you've named encircled in red so future generations may
identify the star name in the directory and, using a telescope,
locate the actual star in the sky! It really is the gift of a
lifetime. What could be more perfect for the person who is the star
in the story of your life? It's an excellent idea as an anniversary
gift for special people in your life as well. Get more
info.
Unique
Wedding Idea: Here's a wonderful idea
for a beautiful and creative alternative to the standard guest book:
Purchase a silver serving tray to be placed on a table by the door at
your reception. As guests arrive, have them 'sign' the tray using an
engraving pen or engraving tool. These engraving products can be
purchased at most hardware stores, usually for about $15 - $24. In
the end, you'll have a precious and beautiful keepsake serving tray,
covered in the signatures of your wedding guests. Display it in your
china cabinet and pull it out for use on those extra special
occasions. See this similar
idea for a wedding
guest book alternative.
Unique
Wedding Idea: For simple but gorgeous centerpieces you
can make yourself, try this idea! For every reception table you will
have, purchase a silk floral garland. Lay the garland up the center
of each table. Loosely swirl and twist satin ribbon around the
garland. Add a few votive
candles in votive
cups and voila! Instant centerpiece and, oh, so easy! The
perfect way to dress up long narrow tables affordably for an elegant,
if not elaborate look! With these low lying centerpieces, you'll
never have to worry about guests having to crank their heads to see
around obstructions!
Note: This idea
is intended when long rectangular banquet tables are used, as opposed
to round ones.
Unique
Wedding Idea: Have real, live butterflies or white doves
released around you as you step out of the church, creating a true
fairy tale effect. Your guests will never forget it! Neither will
you. Check your local Yellow Pages for companies offering this
service in your area.
Unique
Wedding Idea: Attention to detail will make a definite
impression among your guests - one not soon to be forgotten. Create
an atmosphere of luxury for the ladies. Place vases
of fresh flowers, or elegant dried flower arrangements, in the ladies
room. Add fragrant bowls of potpourri, heart
shaped soaps in decorative dishes, perhaps candles if the venue
will permit (votives
safely contained in glass votive
holders). Include a lovely basket filled with items such as
hairspray, a container of safety pins, tissues, hair pins, and a
decorative dispenser containing hand cream, along with other such
convenience items as a courtesy to your guests.
Unique
Wedding Idea: Assign someone to snap pictures of guests
as they arrive at the reception using an instant camera.
After the wedding, sign each photo, add your wedding date, and
include a short word of thanks to each guest for having attended.
Mail the photos to the guests along with your thank-you
cards as an extra special memento.

Unique
Wedding Idea: Create unique and meaningful centerpieces
for every table with a collection of pretty frames holding photos of
you and your fiance. Include pictures from childhood through your
courtship. Place them upon mirrors and surround them with votive
candles, and rose
petals or metallic confetti. If
desired, go a little further and wind pieces of ivy garland between
the frames. Voila! You will have simple-to-design, unique and
meaningful
centerpieces! You can later re-use the frames within your home or
them away to special guests as gifts at the end of the evening. As an
added benefit, all those photos will create interest and will serve
as wonderful conversation pieces during the reception. Check out the
fabulous selection of items you can use to create these centerpieces
in our Online
Wedding Store. |
Unique
Wedding Idea: Make it really special... Ask your
mom, grandmother, or a special aunt to be your matron of honor. Who
better to honor on the single most important day of your life? Touch
her heart heart in a way she'll cherish for ever!
Unique
Wedding Idea: Make small corsages or boutonnieres for
each wedding guest. Present each guest with a corsage or boutonniere
as they arrive at the reception. (Have extras on hand in case of
errors in calculating the number required of each!) What a wonderful
way to honor your guests, make them feel special, and to express to
them how much having them in attendance truly means to you!
Unique
Wedding Idea:  Consider
having your rings engraved on the inside with your entire wedding
vows, or another personalized message. It's always been a lovely
tradition for couples to have the inside of their wedding bands
engraved, but until now, the message had to be extremely brief. In
the past it was usually only possible to engrave intials or the
wedding date into the rings. However, one clever and creative jewlery
company has now developed a way to engrave your entire wedding vows
inside your wedding rings. Their unique and patented process allows
multiple rows of engraving, so entire wedding vows or other complete
messages can be inserted. This has never been offered before, and is
only available through the one company which holds the patent. We
LOVE this idea - we only wish someone had figured out how to do this sooner!
A
wedding band is the most symbolic piece of bridal jewelry most
people will wear. It represents the un-ending union of two people. It
was originally believed that the ring finger has an artery that leads
straight to the heart, and this is why the ring finger was selected
for the important duty of wearing wedding rings. Once married, most
people seldom take off their wedding rings, which also symbolize
their faithfulness for each other. And the plain, traditional wedding
band continues to be the most popular style because it captures the
essence of love in its purest form.
Having the unique
ability to engrave a full message - or your full wedding vows - into
your wedding bands makes them all the more meaningful and precious.
Those of us who are already married are eating our hearts out that
this wasn't available when we got our wedding rings! This gives a
whole new meaning to the phrase, "It what's inside that
counts"! Take a closer lookat
this unique idea!
Unique
Wedding Idea: Surprise your fiance on your wedding day.
Secretly take a few singing lessons to brush up your singing voice,
then at a predetermined moment at your wedding reception, take the
microphone and serenade him or her with a song that has special
meaning to you both, or one that perfectly captures what you want to
express to him / her on your wedding day. Extremely romantic and
truly unforgettable!
Unique
Wedding Idea: Can't come up with a unique gift idea for
your flower girl? What little girl wouldn't love a Bridal
Barbie? All
the magic of your wedding day is certain to capture her imagination
& keep her mesmerized. You can bet she'll spend hours reliving it
over and over again in the fantasy world of Barbie. This is
one gift that is sure to be both cherished and well used!

Decoration Ideas!
A
single votive candle burning behind the glass panes of these
lanterns gives off a soft, dreamy light, creating a setting of
ambiance when used as centerpiences at a wedding reception. Use one
per table, or combine in groups.
For
a truly unique centerpiece idea, create enchanted worlds of light as
the softness of pastels and the glimmer of metal come together in
candle sleeves and a runner of sheer metallic fabric. The little bags
dress up votives, while the sleek glass cylinders filled with water
hold floating candles. The runner makes a stunning backdrop for any
celebratory centerpiece. Fill them with water and floating candles,
then veil them with the gossamer colors of our Iridescent Sleeves.
An
Outdoor Wedding?
Here's
a fabulously unique decorating idea! Float these wax boat lanterns
in a pool, pond or fountain. Can also be used to line walkways or
placed on tables as centerpieces.
Floating
pastel colored candles in a pretty frosted bowl, complemented by
nearby pillar candles contribute to a romantic reception mood.
Elegance
in Glass... Planning a rehearsal dinner or special gathering? This
collection is the perfect decorating solution for any celebration. It
combines Hurricane Lamps with Pillar Candles, Bubble-Stem
Candlesticks with Taper Candles, Glass Stem Sphere Holders and
Martini Sphere Holders with Sphere Candles, a Small Martini Bowl one
Floating Candle, and Large Martini Bowls, each containing three
2" Floating Candles. Al candles are ivory in color.
Scatter
a parade of opaque glass votive holders about a reception room or a
protected porch or patio at an outdoor wedding, and create a world of
dazzling candlelight.
Classic,
elegant centerpieces are easily created by grouping together pillar
candles in varying heights. When chosing candles, quality counts.
Better quality candles, like these from Illuminations, will burn
longer and brighter.
Add
elegance and height to your head table decor with tall candle sticks
for pillar candles, like these from Illuminations. Made by glass
blowers who've mastered a difficult technique to create the prominent
swirls of glass, these are exquisite pedestals for either pillar or
taper candles.
Sometimes
the simplest creations are the most dramatic. This collection of
Pillars candles has a breathtaking effect! Varyiing heights of
candles are clustered upon an elegant large square Bronzed Plate.
The
special gel inside these reusable glasses looks just like bubbly
champagne... and when it's burned down, you'll find your fortune in a
miniature capsule.
