Guest Blogger: Personalizing Your wedding

Every bride wants THEIR wedding to have their personal stamp marked on their special day.There are so many ways to do this but the most popular and easy is MONOGRAMING. This is the newest trend in weddings and wedding planning.

A monogram is a combining of initials in an ornate fashion. Monograms are a key way to implement your personal touch. There are several areas that you can add your monogram that can really make an elegant effect.

Monogrammed aisle runners are a great way to incorporate your monograms into your special day. These can be as ornate and bedazzled as you want. If you get the urge you make these on your own.

Mongrammed table cloths. I love this idea, especially for the bride and groom table or head table. You can position the monogram on the table cloth as to it can be seen by all of your guests during your wedding reception.

You can also do Monogrammed Dance floors so that when you are doing your first dance people can see your specially made initials. You can also do lights on walls so that your monogramms shine on the wall behind your head table or sweetheart table.

Monogrammed stationary, is also a great idea. You can tie the monogram into the whole planning process, from start to finish, including the invitiations, save the dates, thank you cards, response and place cards. This would really be a great idea for a complete infusion of your monogram.

Pictures can also be used to personalize your wedding. You can incorporate pictures throughout your whole wedding. The same way as mongrams; invititations, save the dates, thank you cards, etc. People love to see pictures of the bride and groom. You can use pictures on each table for table numbers or for place cards, with frames.

When you personalize your weddings, you are allowing your guests to not just come to a wedding but to come to YOUR wedding.

Happy Planning,

Tips On Choosing A Wedding Ring

Young couples who plan to marry should spend some quality time when it comes to choosing their wedding rings; remember these are the rings you will wear for the rest of your life, you will want them to be perfect for you and your partner. The rings are an indication of shared love and should show this, so it's important put some time and research into choosing a wedding ring.

You can search for a wedding ring by various methods, a visit to a jeweler will help you to see the metals and styles generally available but if possible avoid one of the jewelry chains situated in shopping malls everywhere as it is unlikely anything unique will be found there. Another choice is online shopping and you will find a much wider selection and probably save some money too.

Be sure you do not buy a wedding ring that is more elaborate than the engagement ring; it may seem like more work but it should be possible to find rings that compliment one another. To achieve this, the easiest method is to place both the wedding band and engagement ring side by side if it is not possible to try the ring on because the size needs adjusting. You can be pretty sure too that if you choose a plain simple band that it will complement most any type of engagement ring.

If however you would prefer a more unique wedding ring a specialty jeweler is recommended. You may perhaps even want to design your own rings. This would be the most costly option and something to consider when deciding on the budget for your wedding rings. Another option for finding a unique ring is to consider buying a vintage or antique ring. Antique rings are wonderful reminders of the beauty of bygone days and if you and your fiancé already have a passion for collecting and using antiques then this may be the perfect solution for you.

Although some metals are fashionable for a while, including: (1) Silver, (2) White Gold, (3) Yellow Gold and (4) Titanium; durability is an issue and that is why platinum is becoming so popular. Platinum is the most expensive of the metals of course, and the budget is almost always a contributing factor in the purchase of your wedding ring but of the two partners, it is the man who will appreciate a platinum ring's durability more. The number of men doing manual tasks is still greater than women; and they are the ones most likely to cause damage to their ring.

A simple but necessary part of the process is to check finger size so the wedding ring fits correctly; after all the expense involved, you need the rings to fit correctly! If the ring doesn't seem to fit right take it to a professional jeweler for sizing, this will prevent it from being too tight or too loose and slipping off.

If you want to make sure your rings are ready in plenty of time for the wedding, give your jeweler enough time to complete any adjustments; he may have a number of customers rings to be sized and you do not want a problem on the wedding day.

There is a huge variety of wedding bands available these days; choosing the right one can take quite some time and a number of visits to the jeweler or online shopping sites. However, the most important aspect to remember when choosing a wedding ring is that its purpose is to show the love that two people have for one another; there isn't a stronger symbol of the love two people share.
