A GreenWedding
Choosing to go green for your wedding can be easier than you think. Try
incorporating items that have longevity. Choose a cake topper that you’ll love
to use again after your wedding is over. This can be the same with flutes,
serving sets or any other table items.
Give out gifts of small trees or cards with embedded flower seeds and have your
guests plant these in your honor – it’s a nice token of appreciation and you’ll
add a little life to our world. Other choices can be both green and nostalgic.
Re-appropriate old china from family, friends or your neighborhood thrift
store. Eclectic is in and mixing items from the past can be very fashionable.
Or create menus or table markers out of recycled papers. Try a local printer
and see if you can salvage any off cuts or scraps of paper.
Growing your own flowers can be green and save you a little at the same time.
Or ask family and neighbors if you can pillage their flower gardens for a few
gems. Lilacs are a great choice and add a beautiful aroma to your room.
It’s easy to take the green step – even if it’s a small one!

Trudie Lee started off shooting dog shows and strippers. 20 years later
she photographed the Queen. An Alberta College of Art and SAIT

alumni Trudie got her first real job as the resident photographer for the
Banff Centre in Canada. When she met Brian (her eventual partner)
she wanted to be his photo assistant. In what turned out to be a great
decision he told her to get her own job. She started her own photo bus-
iness in 1988. Trudie's client list isn't something she likes to bring up
but it ranges from the high-powered CEO's in the oil patch to theatre
and dance companies. Recently, Trudie was given the special honor of
producing the photography for a collectors stamp for Canada Post.

A Modern Fairytale
Dreaming of her perfect wedding, rebecca eagerly, but meticulously, flips through the
latest copy of her coveted Weddingstar magazine. It may appear – to the novice at heart
– a book plum full of all things wedding but to Rebecca it's her dream day in waiting.
Her own private wedding boutique – A place where she can scrutinize every aspect, every
tiny little detail. A place full of ideas...

her excitement. Before her very eyes
is a miniature gumball machine
filled with Double Bubble no less.
What would her guests think of
her when they cast their eyes on
this amazing little thank you gift
complete with personalized ribbon
and card. Will their attendance
now be required at all the latest
dinner parties?
After viewing the exclusive cake toppers,

Rebecca rests her eyes on a handsome
brown-haired groom dressed in an
oh-so-now grey suit. He reminds her of
her fiancé Paul at his high school prom.
But is this the right choice? The sitting
couple is also very cute and awfully
romantic or could she choose the exotic
Indian bride even though her grandparents
were from Sweden? After all, she's always
wanted to wear a Sari.

Picking out a favor box is harder than Rebecca could

imagine. So many beautifully crafted little gift boxes
with a multitude of possibilities ahead of her. As Charles
struggles with his precious cargo, Rebecca rushes - but
not too fast as to break a sweat - to Charles’ aid in hopes
of saving the blue one. After all - this one will bring out
the color in her eyes!

Darren & Jen

Story Darren & Jen
Photography Red Door Photographic
“The best first date I ever had,” was how Darren and Jen described their first meeting. It was the fall of 2003, and friends had suggested each of
them try internet dating. After connecting on an online dating site, Darren and Jen quickly decided to take their relationship offline. Their first
date took place on a cold December night at the James Joyce Pub in Calgary, Canada. Many more dates followed and their relationship grew.
In the summer of 2005, Jen moved from Calgary for a year of study at McGill University. Over this year, they enjoyed weekends together in Montreal,
shopping, eating and site-seeing. During this time Darren knew that Jen was the one for him. On his last weekend visit before Jen returned home
to Calgary, he proposed to her in a park in Montreal’s Latin Quarter. S
WEDDINGSTAR | 73
The proposal lead to wedding plans. With the

mix of cultures, large families, and many on the
guest list from out of town, Darren and Jen
wanted to create a wedding where people could
mingle and get to know each other. “We gave a
lot of thought to what it would be like to be a
guest at our wedding,” Jen said, “We wanted
people to have a great time. It was also important
for us to incorporate our personality into the
day and not be too concerned with following
traditions.” The couple chose to only incor-
porate traditions into their day that meant
something to them personally.
Jen’s love of Broadway musicals and the

couple’s mutual love of New York City
inspired their original wedding invitation.
Based on a Broadway Playbill, the invitations
were designed by Kelly Hartman, with photo-
graphy by Trudie Lee. Each guest received a
Playbill in the mail with personalized tickets,
inviting them to this one-time-only event.
Their wedding day started off with a tea

ceremony, with Darren meeting Jen at his
brother’s house. In keeping with Chinese
culture, the tea ceremony was a time for grand-
parents, parents, aunts and uncles from both
families to give the bride and groom good luck
wishes, gifts and red pocket money. Darren and
Jen in return honored their guests by serving
them tea. During the tea ceremony, an especially
heartfelt wish from Darren’s Grandma led the
bride, groom and many others to tears. Tradi-
tionally after the tea ceremony, the bride and
groom would have been married, but Darren
and Jen’s day had just begun. Lunch, a photo-
graphy session, a Christian wedding ceremony
and evening reception were still to follow.
The venue for the Christian ceremony and

reception was the Calgary Opera Centre. For-
merly a United Church, the rehearsal hall
provided the perfect venue for the ceremony
and reception. Rather than have a traditional
maid of honor and a best man as their attend-
ants, Jen’s brother was the bride’s witness,
and Darren’s sister was the groom’s witness.
Darren’s nine year old niece was chosen to
be the flower girl.
Jen made her way down the aisle to the song

‘Ave Maria’ performed by opera singer Barbara
King-Hards. “We had to have an opera singer;
we had our wedding in the Opera Centre!”
remarked Darren of their musical selection.
It was a heartfelt ceremony, officiated by
Darren’s uncle. An aunt of the couple sum-
med it up when she said that she knew
Darren and Jen would share everything in
their lives because they even shared a tissue
during the ceremony.

Immediately after the ceremony, guests were
ushered into an adjoining room to enjoy a
watermelon martini, their signature drink.
Toasts to the couple were given as guests enjoyed
the martinis. Meanwhile, the caterers trans-
formed the ceremony site for the cocktail dinner
reception. As a jazz band began to play, a room
divider slid open and the beautiful reception
side was revealed. A mix of high and low tables
were decorated in chocolate brown organza
with tall tropical arrangements of ginger, spider
mums and monstera. These tables only provided
seating for two thirds of the guests, encouraging
guests to mingle as they enjoyed passed hors
d’oevres, and a complete meal served on sta-
tionary platters and at action stations. Bar tables
displayed smaller floral arrangements of mokara
orchids and gloriosa. Food and drink was served
all night long.
There were also plenty of activity stations set

up throughout the reception to entertain guests.
A looped slide show served as a conversation
piece, projecting photos of the couple and old
pictures of family and friends. The groom,
being a photographer himself, set up a photo
station complete with white backdrop where
guests were encouraged to take self portraits.
This photo station was a huge hit as the cocktails
got going around the room. Chinese games
were played, which certainly upped the
rowdiness factor.
Instead of firecrackers, which are typically set

off to celebrate a wedding in China, guests were
given a red balloon and a pick to simulate the
noise of firecrackers. This was one of the high-
lights of the evening. As the couple walked
toward the dance floor for their first dance,
the master of ceremonies instructed the guests
to blow up their balloon and pop it on the
count of three. The result was the amazing
sound of firecrackers and excitement from
the guests.
Each of Darren and Jen’s guests received two

favors as a thank you from the couple – a pair
of chopsticks from Hong Kong, and a bride and
groom favor bag filled with candies. “We loved
our cake toppers!” the couple exclaimed of
the Asian Bride and Caucasian Groom couple
that topped their wedding cake.
After months of preparation, the wedding was

pronounced a huge success! “It exceeded both
of our expectations!” Darren and Jen exclaimed.

A Bridal Shower in Pink & Lime...

Bridal showers are quite often held at a
friend or family members’ house. Decor-
ating is key to making it a successful and
memorable event. Pick items that are
versatile and that can be used time and
again.This will make it more ‘justifiably’
affordable. Choose dishes, food picks and
glassware that you will love to use for
other occasions. Items such as the Martini
Glasses with crystal details are absolutely
fabulous at a shower but equally amazing
at a birthday party or girls get-together.
Pink and lime is a great color combination
for a fresh, modern look. Add in a little
chocolate for that extra punch.

Cake Toers
to top it all !
S
The wedding cake has always played a huge role in weddings. However,
the modern wedding has thrust wedding cakes into a whole new light.
Considered as part of the whole theme of the wedding; reflecting the
couple’s personalities, tastes or even their hobbies changes the way cakes
are now done. In fact “cakes” aren’t always cakes. Cupcakes, cookies, mini
cakes or chocolates occasionally appear in place of the cake. So, why not
put a whole new spin on the cakes’ companion – the coveted “Cake Topper”.
This can still take centre stage – a more traditional wedding couple wrapped
in each other’s arms – or the latest “version” may be missing the bride
altogether! New twists have couples playfully interacting, golfing or chatting
on their cell phones! Or the cake topper may be a contemporary pair of
love birds or a set of jewelled silver initials. The key to picking the perfect
cake topper is to make it all about you. Pick one that fits your personalities
or your quirkiness. A little uniqueness will definitely top it all!

Candles
Candles are the simplest way to add atmosphere to any setting. From simple tealights to interesting votives and ornate unity candles,
they all reflect style and taste. By changing the candle holder or adding decorations, you can change the "personality" of the candles.
Tealights work well for smaller settings where space may be limited and the clean up is a snap. Floating candles combined with flower
petals create a dynamic display as flickering flames are reflected in the water resulting in added dimension and sparkle. Pillar and taper
candles are more traditional but bring height to a table decoration. Try using square pillar candles for an updated look. Glassware is
often a good source for alternative candle holders.

The Sand Ceremony

The Unity Sand Ceremony is a novel alternative to the popular “unity candle ceremony” incorporated into many of today’s weddings.
The essence is to symbolize the union of “two into one”. This sand version is not only beautiful and interesting but also more appropriate
for an outdoor setting. With the addition of fresh flowers, these distinctive vases will make an intriguing addition to a home’s decor.
The Unity Sand Ceremony
How it works:
Included are three nesting glass vases. Prior
to the wedding pre-fill the two outside vases
with sand. In this example we have used
white for the Bride and black for the Groom.
Consider engraving these vases with a single
initial monogram.
1. The Groom will commence by pouring

a portion of the black sand into the central
glass vase.
2. The Bride will follow by pouring a portion

of the white sand also into the central vase
1 creating a layered effect.
3. To complete the ceremony, the Groom and

Bride simultaneously pour the balance of their
sand into the central container.
4. Following the wedding, the two outside

vases can be used to display fresh flowers
while the central vase will remain a cher-
ished keepsake of your wedding day.
See next page >
Pouring Tip: To make this process a little

easier, create a funnel using decorative paper.
Personalize the funnel by including names,
date or even poetry that holds a special mean-
ing for the Bride and Groom. (The central
vase can be engraved with the Bride and
2
Groom’s monogram).
The co-mingling of the colored sand represents the joining

of the Bride and Groom. Consult with your wedding officiate
in order to customize the readings and sentiments that will
accompany this ceremony.

The Heart
Sand Ceremony
The Heart Sand Ceremony is another way to make a sand ceremony even more meaningful.
By adding a third vase, you are able to add another symbolic element to this event. Incorporate
your priest, child or represent your shared spiritual beliefs with this third vase. Or add two
small glass heart vases and represent the union of two families.The engravable central bottle
with glass stopper creates a beautiful reminder that will preserve the moment for years to come.
1 Included are two large glass heart vases, one small glass heart vase and one heart shaped bottle with stopper and stand.
Prior to the wedding pre-fill the three vases with sand. In this example we have used Bermuda Blue sand for the Bride,
Moss Green sand for the Groom and white sand for the “Symbol” vase. Consider engraving these vases with a single initial
or the bottle with a monogram and date.

thing. The Favor comes in all shapes, sizes, themes and ranges in budget. The possibilities
are endless. This is your opportunity to play – show your guests your personalities by
putting some thought into the meaning of this item. Does it reflect your favorite pastime?
Your favorite color? Your favorite chocolate? Are you an outdoor enthusiast and would
like a more natural organic favor? Are you more of a traditionalist and want a beautifully

prefer something a little more ‘twisted’ like a bending spoon or flexible pencil? Or is

EXOTIC FAVORS
The elephant is probably the most positive
animal symbol known. As the largest crea-
ture to walk the earth, it is seen as a symbol
of strength and power. An extremely hard
working animal that is revered in countries
like Thailand that have made it one of their
national symbols.The elephant is blessed
with super intelligence and a very long life
span. Because of this, in Buddhism, the ele-
phant can symbolize patience and wisdom
while the Chinese see the elephant as a
symbol of energy and strength. The Elephant
is often viewed as a source of luck and good
fortune – this kind of Karma can’t hurt!

the favor box S

Usually filled with candy or chocolates, a small
simple box can transform into a multitude of
other uses. By picking a box that complements
the favor item, you can create the illusion of
custom packaging. Cone Boxes are a perfect fit
for wine stoppers, but could easily accommodate
candles, mints or even a watch. Or create a mini
‘survival kit’ for your bridesmaids, filled with
safety pins, Q-tips, a nail file, lip gloss and more.
Try filling your cones with colored sand and a
special note for your custom “message in a bottle”.
The potential is endless and by considering the
shape and size of a favor box you can develop
new uses for this object.Try to think of the
container as more than just the wrapping of a
gift – think of the box and favor item together
and you will create something truly distinctive.

A White Wedding < REAL WEDDINGS
Ahmed & Melissa

Story Ahmed & Melissa
Photography Andras Schram
Our love story began when Melissa moved to Calgary from Vancouver in January 2003. At this time, Ahmed was a newly retired athlete working
at a gym as a trainer. We both agree that love at first sight is ridiculous, however that is the only explanation we are sure about when it comes to
our first thoughts of each other. Melissa walked into the gym, and Ahmed greeted her. As the gym manager it was Ahmed’s job to give Melissa the
facility tour. Health and fitness are significant aspects of our lives and formed a great common ground. After weeks of working out together our
first date was shared over a regular bold roast coffee and a caramel apple cider with extra caramel at Starbucks in Calgary, Canada. After dating
for close to three years and many more cups of Starbucks coffee Melissa and Ahmed were engaged to be married on December 27.
S | 249
Unbeknownst to Melissa her future husband

had been planning their engagement and her
ring for months before the actual proposal.
Three years after their first date Ahmed
proposed in Melissa’s home town with a
beautiful custom made ring.
Melissa started planning their wedding almost

immediately with the dream of a winter fantasia
theme. Melissa and Ahmed visited Banff,
Alberta the weekend after their engagement
and knew their wedding had to be set within
the already stunning Banff Springs Hotel.
Their theme included a glacial forest of
magnificent hand-painted, glittered birch
trees up to 24 feet in height and a color
palette of white, silver palette accented with
icy blue lighting. The vision resulted in an
ambience that was frosty and elegant, yet
incredibly romantic and magical.
The wedding day started with the bride and

bridesmaids being pampered with professional
hair and make-up services while the groom
and groomsmen went for an early morning
work-out followed by a hearty breakfast. The
bride and groom both posed for pictures before
the ceremony but didn’t see each other until
Melissa was escorted up the aisle by her father.
The guests were welcomed to the ceremony with

water bottles emblazed with the couples mono-
gram and a package of tissues for any tears of
joy. The bridesmaids looked elegant in black
satin gowns and carried crystal encrusted
bouquets of white calla lilies. Melissa arrived
looking stunning in couture Justina McCaffrey
and carried a large bouquet of black baccara
roses encircled with hanging crystal branches.
Ahmed exuded confidence in a long jacket
black tux. The couple exchanged tearful I
Do’s and personal vows while encapsulated in
the glacial forest. Their love for their dogs
was evident when all three Nala, Archie, and
Sadie came down the aisle carrying the rings.
Once the wedding party left for photos with

photographer Andras Schram, guests were
treated to an elegant cocktail hour where
several varieties of hot and cold hors d’oeuvers
were hand served by the hotel staff. The guests
enjoyed a beautiful snow covered valley view
while mingling.
After the cocktail hour, guests were welcomed

back into the reception room which had been
reconfigured so guests would feel as though
they were sitting within a glacial forest. The
glacial theme was carried throughout the night
with the guest tables being covered in floor
length black satin tablecloths topped with
glittery white and silver hand painted organza
overlays. Each chair was beautifully wrapped in
a black satin chair cover with sparkly branches
fastened to the back. The centerpieces sparkled
with more hand painted white branches
erupting from three foot vases.

The tables were also adorned with six icy

blue tea lights that gave an intimate glow to
each table.
The guests were treated to a four course

decadent plated meal including simosa salad,
tagliatelle pasta with leeks, prawns and sweet
sea scallops in a crab garlic cream sauce, a
choice of three entrees either roast Alberta
prime rib of beef au jus, chicken breast with
sundried tomato and marscapone filling in a
chive beurre blanc sauce or pan seared fillet
of salmon with a chardonnay chive beurre
blanc sauce. Dessert was a beautifully decor-
ated tiramisu with the couple’s names written
in chocolate.
Instead of the traditional clinking of the

glasses, Melissa and Ahmed showed off their
senses of humour by asking guests to
impersonate Ahmed or Melissa to prompt
them to kiss. Speeches were done between
courses and the couple played the “shoes
game” at the end of dinner providing more
guest entertainment. The couple opted not
to have a formal wedding cake but rather had
a complete dessert buffet for guests to enjoy.
The dessert buffet was a crowd pleaser
offering everything from chocolate explosion
cheesecake to warm apple cinnamon pudding.
The formal reception was finished off with a
slideshow of the best photos of the day prepared
by the couple’s amazing photographer.
One of many personal touches at the wedding

included the welcome bags which awaited guests
in their hotel rooms. These bags were loaded
with snacks, beverages, activity suggestions,
and Advil for the morning after the wedding.
The couple also decided on a photo guest
book that required guests to provide advice
and memories of the wedding day, a great
memento the couple now cherishes. Women
at the wedding were also treated to a pair of
slippers to comfortably dance the night away.
The bride and groom ended the night by
presenting the bride’s maternal grandparents
with the bridal bouquet to honour their 55
year marriage. The wedding was an absol-
utely magical day in a magnificent location.

Style Themes
From simple to sophisticated,
from no-frills to the avante-
garde, a style theme can help
turn your wedding into
something extraordinary.
WEDDINGSTAR | 253
BUTTERFLIES THEME
These winged insects are most notable for their
life cycle from a not-so-handsome caterpillar
through to a spectacular and colourful winged
beauty. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif
in the visual and literary arts. Here are a few
samples and details of this style theme in action.
1/2. Handpainted butterflies top an amazing

centrepiece of florals and grasses for a touch of
the outdoors. Or twist your napkins into a flower-
like display and top with a butterfly.
Handpainted Butterfly Dazzlers > see page 239
3. Ceramic Butterfly dishes have a multitude of

uses. Use as a favor and include a strip of vellum
with the guests name as a place holder.
Ceramic Butterfly Dishes > see page 84
4/5. Felt butterfly tealight holders add a touch of

whimsy. Alternate colors in a row and place on 1
a head table or greeting table. Or use these as a
favor item and place in a floral folded napkin for 2 3
added effect.

BEACH THEME
Whether you’re lucky enough to have a beach on
your doorstep or you’re heading somewhere trop-
ical for your big day, a beach theme is a fun way
to add to those memories of sun, sand and surf.
Typically, shades of blues come to mind but
combining these with touches of bright orange
red, or yellows can create an amazing color
palette. Whatever your choice, a beach theme is
always a way to add a smile to your guests’ faces.
1. Offer these stylish Starfish Wine Stoppers to

your guests by filling a pail with sand and the
stoppers.Tie with a bright ribbon and encourage
your guests to stop and take one home.
Starfish Wine Stoppers > see page 196
2. Help light your guests trip home with these fun

patio lanterns. Set up a table near the exit and
light these lanterns before your guests leave. Ask
them to take a lantern on their way out. Or if it’s
an evening ceremony, have your guests pick up a lit
lantern on the way in and illuminate your nuptials.
Beach Lanterns > see page 202
3. Favor boxes can come in all shapes and sizes.

While these small wooden boxes are in the more
popular square shape they are far from ordinary.
Decorated in the beach theme, the lids are hinged
on one edge to open like a small chest. Fill with
your favorite treasure.

their tables. Ask them to “take a seat” – literally!

“THE BREAKING OF THE GLASS”

Near the conclusion of a traditional Jewish Wedding
Ceremony, it is customary that a glass, contained in a
decorative pouch, is placed on the floor. The chatan
(the groom) proceeds to shatter the glass with his foot
resulting in “Many Pieces, Many Years, and Many
Blessings Together...” for the happy couple. Those in
attendance respond with an enthusiastic “Mazel Tov”!

NAMES, MONOGRAMS, AND INITIALS

As the old saying goes, it really is the little things that count.This certainly applies to the small uniquely
personal touches that can supplement a wedding. By engraving, embroidering, etching, or attaching
personalized ribbons, initials, or monograms to wedding accessories, you help to create your own
distinctive gifts and décor. Gifts for the bridesmaids, matron of honor, best man, groomsmen, ushers,
and even the bride and groom are made more meaningful with the addition of their names, initials,
or monograms.
Whether it’s the guest book, flutes, confetti and gift cards, the bride’s purse, the ring pillow, stationery,
or cake serving set, the options are delightfully endless. Initials are the first letters of a person’s names,
and are applied in the same order as the names. Monograms, on the other hand, can include any number
of these initials and can be artfully arranged to make a distinctive design. WEDDINGSTAR | 317

On my wedding day, I will wear the turban and

carry the sword, I always wear my bracelet but
do not adhere to keeping my hair unshorn or
wearing a Kulcha. It is with great pride that I
stand in front of the mirror and see myself as
a Sikh, knowing that all the men in my family
going back four centuries would have had this
moment, would have worn similar wedding
attire, perhaps even had the same thoughts.
Upon arrival at the temple, my family exchange

garlands with my wife to be, Harpreet’s family.
Then, to the beat of a drum, we all enter the
temple. I have breakfast with the guests,
awaiting my wife’s entrance. My face is
covered, attached to my turban, strands of
gold tassels fall down. While my attire is
comfortable, the headdress obscures my view.
A little later I’m motioned to leave the dining

hall, and go up to the temple, I walk in and
bow to our holy book before sitting down.
After some time, as is the bride’s prerogative,
my beautiful wife enters the temple. She is
dressed like a princess, an antique looking,
rust colored Indian wedding dress flows along
a red carpet towards me. Her head is covered
with a delicate scarf, her head slightly bowed
down and covered as is customary.
She bows and then sits with me, the ceremony

begins. This is the most difficult part of the
day for me; the ceremony is in a language I
do not understand. I speak Punjabi but the
ceremony is in Gurmukh, the equivalent of
Pre-Shakespeare English in comparison to
modern English.
The core of the ceremony is the Lava, four

turns are made around the Sikh holy book,
the groom holding one end of a scarf, his
bride following behind holding the other
scarf. Harpreet’s brothers stationed at each
corner to walk with her as she passes from one
life to another. The first round of the marriage
ceremony sets out the Lord’s instructions for
performing daily-married life. The second
round the Lord leads you to meet the true guru,
the primal being. The third round talks of
divine love whilst in the final round the mind
has become peaceful, the Lord has been found.
After the Lava, my bride and I are officially

married and we sit and listen to speeches
advising us on the requirements of married
life. The blessing of our union occurs finally,
as our wedding guests line up to meet and
greet us. Our guests come from a wide ethnic
and cultural background. Harpreet and I
have truly been blessed to have such a diverse
group of friends.
We all head down for lunch, a vegetarian

lunch but not before two of Harpreet’s
cousins steal my shoes. This little tradition
involves girls from the bride’s family taking
and hiding the groom’s shoes. The groom
then has to find out who took the shoes and
try to haggle with girls to buy back the shoes.
After a great deal of difficulty locating the
thieves, I proceed to haggle with them and
end up paying more to have the shoes
returned than the cost of the shoes in the
first place. What a lovely tradition!
The final act and often the most emotional

is the Doli, this is where the bride’s family
officially say goodbye to their daughter.
Harpreet and I sit on chairs, various
members of her family offer gifts to us and
then feed us Indian sweets. After awhile the
sweets do become sickly and there is always
one uncle or aunt who chooses to put a very
large piece in our mouths. It is during this
ceremony that my wife first looks like she is
going to shed a tear but she holds them back,
her mother cannot.
It’s been a long day. We make our way out to

our wedding car, accompanied by the beat of
a drum, flowers being thrown at us. Farewells,
hugs and emotions carry us into the back of
the car. The male members of Harpreet’s
family gather around the car and as the car
rolls forward they pretend to push it and her
into her new life.
Harpreet looks at me, as we sit in the back of

the Maybach. It’s difficult to take in the day’s
events and as it is often said, the day really
does go by so quick. It’s nice to be cocooned
in luxury, traveling into London, an idyllic
respite from the day’s events.
At the Soho hotel, we go to our room, dress

for the evening, take more photos and then
it's off to the Imli restaurant for our dinner.
We are met with loud cheers and applause as

we enter the restaurant. Unfortunately we do
not get much of a chance to eat as we greet our
guests, thanking them and making impromptu
speeches. Although I’m told the Indian tapas
menu was very good. Must make a note of
coming back and trying it.
The night then descends into the usual wed-

ding antics, drinking and dancing both of
which get more enthusiastic as the night wears
on. My wife and I move in close, we dance as
if we are the only ones in the room, oblivious
to the chaos around, the days events, to the
planning stress we induce upon ourselves,
to the worries of what will happen and when.
After all the pomp and ceremony, it really
does come down to a man and a woman,
staring into each other eyes, bodies inter-
twined, falling in love all over again.S

What is an Escort Card?

Escort or Seating Cards are used when all table assignments have been pre-arranged.
Small Cards, Place Cards or Gift Tags are all suitable for preparing Seating Cards. Regardless
of format, each card should include the name of the guest and their assigned table place-
ment. Prepared seating cards should be sorted alphabetically and placed near the entrance
of the Reception. In this case, novelty cards were hung with small clothes pins on decorative

S Thank you Gifts or Welcome Baskets are often given to guests who have
Welco travelled a distance to attend your wedding. Typically, they are presented
m e! to guests as they arrive at their accommodations. Many couples also leave
S
gifts such as these for their attendants and close family or friends. Tradi-
tionally, a basket of fruit with a bottle of sparkling water was the norm but
today couples are having a little fun and personalizing this thoughtful gesture.
Goodie Bag
Imagine the smiles when your attendants or special guests discover you have left this bag of
goodies hanging on the doorknob of their rooms. These festive felt bags are totally fun and
can be used again and again.
Spa Bag
A pampering take home gift. Load makeup bags full of soothing scrubs and lotions for a
Spa-in-a-Bag. This is a great thank you for those special women in your life who helped
with your big day. Or leave these in the rooms of guests who have travelled a distance to
indulge in a little R ‘n’ R before the festivities begin.
Bridesmaid Bag
Treat your Bridesmaid to a bag that is fashionable and functional. Great to tote her
accessories, shoes, makeup... Or supply her with a gift bag for that destination / beach
wedding. Fill with necessities such as a pair of flip flops, a water bottle, magazines and a
beach towel. She’ll love you for this one!
Picnic
Why not send your attendants off with an unusual picnic basket gift. A wine caddy filled
with a bottle of wine and stuffed with a baguette and paired with a wheel of cheese. A
guaranteed success.

DECORATING > Aisle Runners & Pull Bows
The church with a little attitude

Decorating a church can often present a few challenges. If it’s a more traditional church with time-worn wooden pews and stained glass win-
dows then you have both the gift of a beautiful setting and the challenge of decorating without taking away from inherent character. In this
situation you want to work with the surroundings and decorate to showcase these beautiful features. It may be a case of decorating the ends
of the pews and leaving the rest as is or placing florals at the edges of staircases or entrance ways. If the church is new and more generic in
its look then decorating it to add flair is key. Large bouquets of flowers that can be used near the altar will help frame the bride and groom.
These can then be transported to the reception to be used again. Here are a few examples of little touches that can make all the difference.
370 | WEDDINGSTAR
For those tears

It’s all the little details that will make your
ceremony truly memorable. Extras like this
basket of Bride & Groom tissues is a great
touch. Guests can now wipe those tears of
joy in style!
Tissue > see page 243

Personalized ribbon > see page 230
Diecut ribbon > see page 232
Pew decorations
Pull Bows and Tulle are a simple yet elegant
addition that can be used to decorate the
ends of the church pews. Drape tulle across
the ends of the pews to highlight those seats
which have been selectively reserved for the
close family members. Add fresh flowers for
a little punch of style.
The wedding basket

Hung at the end of the pew, these baskets
are filled with little organza bags containing
individual portions of Designer Wedding Rice.
Guests are invited to send the couple off in
style after the “I-do’s” have been exchanged.
Aisle runners
Aisle runners are used to draw attention to
the passage the bride will take. Used inside or
outdoors, they can be pulled in her path as she
makes her entrance. Scatter with real or silk
flower petals to make a beautiful statement.

You’ve found the dress, rented the tux, bought the favors, booked the
caterer and ordered the flowers. Now it’s time to think about the finishing
touches. Whether you are getting married on a beach, in your backyard, at
a hotel, in a church or on a ranch... it’s the decorations that will complete
the overall look and can add that extra personal touch to your special day.
Many traditional decorating items have been around for years (like pom
poms or tulle), but these nostalgic items can be updated by choosing fresh
color combinations or applying them in a unique way. Personalize with
window clings which are both functional and aesthetically beautiful.
Remember, the finishing touches are like the icing on the cake.

Budget Planner
Before you start planning for your big day, you need to know exactly how much money
you have to work with, and what will be allocated to each aspect of the wedding. As
a general rule of thumb, about 45% of the budget should be allotted to the reception.
This will include location, food and beverages. Ten percent should be allotted to
flowers, ten percent to photography, ten percent to wedding attire, and another ten
percent to music. The final fifteen percent of your budget should be allotted for
stationery, gifts, favors, and other accessorizing details.
