Wedding cake artists cater to all wedding desires. That includes designing a cake to match decade themes. The cakes themselves don’t tend to be exact replicas of a certain decade but carry a similar feeling of what a vintage wedding cake looked like at the time. But to hold the vintage feel of the era your wedding theme is aiming to display, the cake topper is what will do the trick. Having a vintage wedding cake for ones wedding is in huge demand.

The more popular decades of choice are 20, 30, 40, and the 50′s. Because of this trend, retailers are offering rentals or purchases of actual vintage cake toppers. Also, there are replicas available that change the hair color and other features of the cake toppers.

If you are going for a beach wedding theme or just want to add a little ocean and beach style to your wedding, then you might like to add some shells. One of the best ways to do so is on your wedding invitations. If you want to go with some small puka shells on a string or on a band around the invitation to hold it closed that is one way.

Some designers like those at Hana Hou Productions create the shells to be a necklace after taking it off of the invitation which is also a sweet touch. You also may decide that you want a bit larger seashell which is kind of an emblem or centerpiece to the invitation. This too gives a unique feel to the theme to prepare your guests for whats ahead.

Thinking of going strapless for the wedding? One thing you won’t have trouble searching for and most importantly, finding, is strapless bridesmaid dresses.

This particular style of dress is the current trend and will coordinate with either a strapless wedding gown or a wedding gown with straps. Any bridal dress and gown company should carry a wide variety of strapless bridesmaid gowns, seeing as they are enormously popular.

Even during a winter or cool season wedding, strapless is still an option. This is now possible even with a chill due to the recent popularity of wearing a cute, wrap, shawl, or shell. These items also add a different element to your strapless bridesmaid dresses selections.

Another simple wedding favor idea is to go with some fans. having wedding favor fans that are palm size are not only inexpensive but serve a purpose. Especially for those that get nervous at weddings or have the jitters, it allows them to make use of your wedding favor. The most common and inexpensive would be the buri wedding fans which come in all sorts of colors including blue, pink, yellow, or just natural.

These palm hand fans can also come in handy if you have a beach wedding. Many times the sweltering sun can make it uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time, so adding them to everyone’s seat can be a great idea.



As far as price is concerned you can get these for as little as $1 dollar or as much as $10 dollars depending on how much you want them customized with either your name or some special text to remember your wedding by.

Another final touch you might consider which everyone loves is ribbons. Personalized wedding ribbons can be added to just about anything. Whether it be a wedding favor box or collectible that can be bound with satin lace or white ribbon, the message on it will remind all of your special day. You might have a pre-printed wedding messages added to your ribbon, or go the personalized route and have your names on them.

Below is an example of what you might get from Impressions Are Everything. This ribbon has been added to a custom box. You could use ribbon to tie up wedding favor bags of candy or other treats as well.

A great way to add a beautiful touch to a wedding is with a horse drawn wedding carriage. Maybe you have found that special location secluded from the rest of the world. Why not top it off by adding a horse drawn wedding carriage to take you both away in the evening of your reception or after you leave the location of your wedding procession? You could go with an open carriage or a closed Cinderella-like wedding carriage with all the bells and whistles.



Depending on where you are the prices will vary. I have seen prices in the range from $150-$600. Many cities commonly have horse drawn carriages around town so the cost would be considerably lower. If they have to come to the location where you are the price will be higher, but it will be an experience you will never forget.

One of the things that a lot of people want to do before the big day is to shed some pounds. We have put together some tips to not only help you get in the right frame of mind, but take action upon it so you can improve your overall health. So lets get started!

1. Workout with your husband/bride to be. This is important because you both can not only motivate, but encourage each other and express your feelings about this subject early on. If you can’t talk about dieting and weight before you are married then your communication needs improvement. Why not start now working together as a team before you even  get married.
2. Set reasonable goals for losing weight or toning up. Its important to be reasonable about what your body can handle, as well as how you are going to achieve it. Ask your best friend if the goals you set seem achievable for you, or if they seem to high. Others honest opinions sometimes can put us in check with reality.
3. Schedule your routine. If you don’t have specific dates and time for going to the gym then how are you going to add it in to an already busy schedule of wedding planning? its just not going to happen. Make a time and stick to it!
4. Do more reps and less weight. Don’t think that you have to increase the weight on machines that you use, or the resistance to lose weight. increase these amounts very lightly, but increase the amount of times more so than anything. It takes time to burn fat, so be patient and be active.
