Creative Ideas For Something Blue
We've all heard the saying that is tradition to say for your wedding day. Something old, something new, something borrowed something blue. Most people have no problem completing the first three items there (old, new, borrowed) but what about something blue?
Here are some creative ideas to make your 'something blue' something special for your wedding day, even if you aren't going with a blue wedding theme.
Blue Shoe Crystals
Wearing high heels? Perfect. Now days, you can get cute little crystals that stick to the bottom of your shoe that can pretty much say whatever you'd like. Putting "I" on one shoe and "Do" on the other shoe seems to be the most common way to do this. And of course, you'd be using blue crystals.
Another route you could go with your shoe crystals would be to put the initials of the bride and groom. Whatever you choose to put there, will make for great photos as well.
The Blue Fingernail
If your something blue is something you want to show off, why not paint one of your fingernails blue? You could choose your ring finger, a pinky or a thumb! Whatever you choose, it's sure to get noticed and will definitely be something different!

When to Hire a Wedding Planner
Trying to decide whether or not you can tackle your wedding planning on your own? Wedding planners can be very useful, but they can be a bit costly, too.
There are certainly times, though, that a wedding planner can be worth every single penny you spend. You just need to know when those times are!
As you work with your partner to decide if a wedding planner’s services are right for you and your event, you may want to consider the following.
Hire a Wedding Planner If You Want to:
... Reduce your stress level
Weddings are the ideal breeding ground for stress and nervous breakdowns. There’s only so much an individual or a couple can deal with, and there will be plenty more during the course of planning the wedding. Placing a wedding planner on the front line, though, will help to minimize your stress level. Instead of trying to tackle all of the tasks, you have someone to organize all of it for you so you can focus on the important things.
... Save money
It may seem counter-intuitive, but while you may be paying more for a wedding planner, you’ll actually end up saving money on the wedding as a whole. Wedding planners typically have connections within the business,
Creative Alternatives to Wedding Cake
The cake defines the traditional wedding reception, but in a world where nothing is traditional anymore, the idea of dumping the cake for something better isn’t so far from reality. Wondering how to eliminate the wedding cake from your ceremony tastefully? Here are some ideas that may help.
Dessert Shots: This idea has become increasingly popular in most modern restaurants, and it’s not hard to see why. You can create beautiful desserts in tiny portions. The most popular ideas are cheesecake and mousse, but almost any dessert you can imagine can get turned into this form. Go with tiramisu, strawberry shortcake, or even Boston cream pie.
Mini Cake: If you like the idea of cake, but you’d rather not go with the extravagance of a wedding cake, think small. You could go in a number of different directions. Create mini cupcakes with frosting that matches your colors. Go with petit fours with a gorgeous fondant icing. If you reduce the size of the cake, you’re far more likely to love what you’ve chosen if it’s a bit more manageable. Plus, you wouldn't need a wedding cake topper!
Dessert Buffet: Who says you have to choose a single dessert at your wedding? Why not create











There was a time when weddings were simple affairs. The bride and groom had a quick wedding in front of friends and family. There might have been a reception where the mothers put together most of the food to feed those who had attended. Then the entire affair was over. That time is long, long gone. These days, a wedding is an elaborate affair, and there’s so much to consider. Most couples take nearly a year to plan their weddings, and the stress over the course of that year is monumental. Because many brides and grooms have other things to do besides worry about this aspect or that one, some turn to wedding planners to help. Wondering if you can afford one?
Why Hire One Anyway?
If you’re not even sure why you’re staring down this expense in the first place, keep this in mind: the advantages of a wedding planner are nothing short of enormous. You can bet that you’ll end up with exactly what you wanted, and in most cases, you won’t have to lift a finger to get it What’s more, though, is that you’ll stick to your budget better if you have someone else watching it for you. You end up with a perfect ceremony without the stress of dealing with the ins and outs of weddings.
