Love Around the World

You love to travel. It's what brought you both together, helped you fall in love, and you want to celebrate this passion for each other and the world in your wedding. Easy!


There's two ways to do this - with one heck of a purse, and inexpensively.


For the big price tag wedding, a beautiful mermaid dress and a designer bridesmaid dress start this off right. The invites - custom passports with the photo of both of you! The cake? Uh! A Sylvia Weinstock globe, with little sugar 'pins' for each place you've been. The favors, beautiful umbrellas of five major cities - the ones you'll be using for the reception - each table at the reception is a different place (Paris, London, New York, etc), and they are marked by beautiful ice sculptures with the icon of the city (Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Statue of Liberty, etc). Top it off with an outdoor reception under a tent with Parisian-striped linens! What a wedding (for only $23,272).


On the sly - what a great dress and gown find - and tons less. Passport invites from Invitations by Dawn, and luggage tags of major cities as the favors. The cake, a little more of a cartoony rendering of the globe, and just as nice a Parisian reception, but saving huge on no tent, and cutesy statuetts of the city icons! Not bad at $4,534.50!

A Few of My Favorite Things

I just finished taking a little break with a pot of tea and the man I love, and it was lovely, refreshing, and relaxing. I'm a tea-aholic. I love taking tea, and if you're ever looking for a great place to have tea, I've got some in mind.


So while thinking about my lovely tea break, it occurred to me that this would make a lovely addition to my wedding. It's something my fiance and I both love and has great meaning for us. And isn't that exactly what a wedding is?


So when you're thinking of neat things to do at your wedding, and are torn between what one magazine tells you and what another tells you differently, stop and think - does this have meaning for me? Will it mean anything to me and my fiance if we do [fill in the blank] that we are being told has to be in our wedding?


Your wedding day is all about you and the person you are marrying. Don't feel like you have to do something because it's expected, either by a magazine or a great-aunt. Do what has meaning for you two. Do something that you will love. It's your day!! Don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.
