In dreams we all walk down this aisle! Just remember that it is really about the man waiting for you at the other end!

The time to start thinking about how you will thank your guests is NOW! Way before the wedding!!! So, think ahead. As you plan your wedding photography, remember to think about the specific pictures you want in your wedding album and to send to family and friend in your “thank you” notes. The Bride and Groom can express their gratitude or convey personal messages in their wedding photography by special arrangement with their photographer.

You can arrange to have this special photo shoot 2 to 3 months before the wedding with their engagement portraits or on the wedding day. You will want a few photos that can tell a story or a series of photos that tell a story. Have your photographer shoot some creative photos for you to include in your “thank you” notes after the wedding. The more creative you are the better, but be sure these photos are a reflection of you as a couple (now a married couple!) Be sure to order an 8 x 10 of your favorite. It’ will make a perfect keepsake to hang in your home. Lets look at a few examples of some fun Thank you cards!

How did the carnation get such a terrible reputation as a flower? Maybe all those grocery store bunches gave them a bad rap (especially the green and blue ones that are clearly dyed unnaturally) But let’s give them another chance!!! From now on, let’s use their scientific name- Dianthus

See how a simple Dianthus bunch can be made into a simple and creative bouquet? Change the color, add some bling, wrap with a gorgeous ribbon and….. a more subtle, traditional feel with a tad of bling and sparkle! ( I would TOTALLY load this up with a TON more bling, but you get the idea!)

Crafting something for your big day will not only give your wedding a more personal touch but it will also save you money (so you can have a larger dress budget, of course). A DIY bride will find this a simple project and something uniquely you! This Unity candle looks so much better than any store-bought candle you can purchase.

Materials

Pillar candle
2 taper candles
Transparent vellum paper
Ribbon
Glue dots Double-sided tape can also work.
Gemstone scrapbooking embellishments I used buckle slides and gem dots.
Scissors
Paper cutter

Directions

Step 1: Print your wedding logo horizontally on the vellum paper. Design a simple monogram with names and wedding date using Photoshop. Cut off about 1″ from the top and bottom of the vellum paper using a paper cutter.

Step 2: Attach the vellum paper to the pillar candle using a few glue dots in the back. Double-sided tape would also work for this project.

Step 3: Slide the buckle slide (you can find these in the scrapbooking aisles at your local craft store) on the ribbon and attach the ribbon to the pillar candle using a few glue dots. If you don’t like as much bling, just attach the ribbon to the candle minus the buckle slide.

Step 4: Attach a ring of ribbon to the taper candles using glue dots, and add crystal scrapbooking embellishments to the candles for a little more sparkle.

Step 5: Determine if you need a hurricane vase for an outside wedding.

Step 6 : Enjoy your wedding day!
