WARM UP GUESTS AT YOUR WINTER WEDDING WITH A COFFEE BAR

2011-01-19T10:36:00.000-08:00

Featured in this photo are our all new Personalized Goodie Bags by Weddingstar!

The coffee bar is a unique twist on a simple buffet, that is perfect for a winter wedding. Guests are offered a range of different coffees and desserts to enjoy. Popular items to include are:

• Different types of coffee (espresso, lattes, roasts, cappuccino, etc.)
• Different coffee flavors
• Unique coffee toppings or mix-ins such as whipped cream, cinnamon sticks, chocolate sprinkles, assorted flavor shots, chocolate dipped spoons, crushed peppermint
• Cool iced coffees for summer events
• Coffee-compatible desserts such as biscotti, mini donuts, muffins, scones, cookies, coffee cake or tiramisu for more gourmet desserts

Featured here are the Cone Shaped Cellophane Bags and “Swish” Cup and Saucer Sets by Weddingstar

In addition to different types or flavors of coffee, it's a good idea to include other beverages as part of the coffee bar, since not all guests will enjoy coffee. Hot tea, hot cider and cocoa are the most popular choices.

Wedding coffee bar ideas are a nice touch to tide guests over between the ceremony and reception and are also suitable for a brunch reception or as part of the wedding dessert bar or coffee and cake reception.

In addition to a coffee bar, there are many ways to be creative or coordinate your wedding to a coffee theme. Some ideas include:

• Coffee brown wedding accessories, bridesmaid dresses and decorations
• There are many coffee theme wedding favors such as heart-shaped coffee scoops, coffee scented candles, mugs or personalized bags of coffee or goodie bags
• You can even include coffee/mocha flavoring in the wedding cake

PICTURE PERFECT WEDDING DAY!

2011-01-02T23:36:00.000-08:00

Photographs are precious memories preserved for the world to see. Each one captures a moment that can never be relived. If you are looking for a way to make your wedding more personal there are few things that can achieve it better than the incorporation of photographs. Here are a few ideas to incorporate photos into your special day.

Many couples choose to create displays that feature them in various stages of their relationship – treating the guests to a bit of their history. You can choose to incorporate something like "Our Story" Personalized Multiple Photo Frame (with 2 or 3 panels) at your guest book signing table or into your wedding centerpieces. Pictures of you and your guests will remind them of the good times you had together. Alternatively, if you are going for an intimate wedding, you could take a more romantic route and create photo stories of the couples in your life that represent the kind of relationship you would like to have. It's a great way to involve your guests in the wedding, and honor those who have set an example you would like to follow. It is also guaranteed to get your guests talking which is exactly the kind of atmosphere that is ideal for a wedding.

For a great alternative to a traditional wedding guest book, you can also incorporate a Framed Signature Photo Mat Guest Book and your photo will be surrounded with personally inscribed handwritten messages that can be enjoyed for years to come!

If you're looking for a wedding favor that will bring your guests fond memories every time they see it, how about a Miniature Heart Photo Frame with a sweet picture of the happy couple in it? Another option would be to instead include a photo of the guest and use the frame as both a unique place card and a favor.

Add a Personal Touch with Unique Wedding Cake Toppers

2010-08-24T17:17:00.000-07:00

One of the most common questions asked by brides and grooms when planning their wedding is "How can we make our wedding unique?” If you want to make your wedding memorable rather than just like everyone else's wedding, you just need to personalize it! Most guests won’t remember their chicken cordon bleu, but they will remember the personal touches that make your wedding distinct.

The ceremonial cutting of the wedding cake is always a highlight of the reception, and you can make this moment even more special with a wedding cake topper that reflects the bride and groom’s personal look and style.

Here are some great ideas for adding a more personal touch to your wedding cake:

Share your interests as a couple:
There are many wedding cake toppers available with themes that can display a common interest that you have as a couple, including sports themes such as baseball, hockey, fishing, skiing, football, golf, soccer, motorcycles and more!

Share how you met:
Many couples have a romantic or fun story of how they met. Maybe you met at a baseball game or at a Western bar? Why not use a baseball themed or western themed wedding cake topper? Did you meet at the beach? Choose a barefoot couple lounging on the sand beach theme cake topper. There is a wide range of wedding cake toppers that cater to many different scenarios.

Embrace your Heritage:
We’re not all blonde haired and blue eyed, so why should your cake topper look that way? We have many ethnic and culturally diverse bride and groom cake toppers now available to depict you and your husband or wife exactly the way you want to be portrayed.

Add some fun with Comical or Novelty Wedding Cake Toppers:
Liven up your wedding cake with a comical cake topper that pokes fun at yourselves. Obsessed with technology? Go with a couple talking on cell phones! Were you dating a long time before the wedding? Choose a funny cake topper with the bride dragging the groom to the altar. Whatever you choose, remember it’s all in good fun!

Mix and Match:
Not every couple is exactly alike. Wedding cake toppers sold as a couple generally are not suitable for most couples. With mix and match figurines you customize the look of your wedding cake topper to create a custom pairing that reflects your unique ethnic blend or pairing. Some options for you to create include curvy brides, burly grooms and multi-racial couples.

Non-Traditional:
Traditional cake toppers aren’t always suitable for every wedding. Many more brides are opting for something different from the traditional bride and groom cake topper. Some couples tying the knot choose an expecting bride figurine, or for a personal touch, monogram cake toppers with the first initials of the bride and groom’s names. Many cake toppers also feature animal couples such as a pair of doves. Or you could go for a modern sculpture to top your cake.

Wedding cake toppers aren’t just for cakes. They can go on top of cupcake towers or serve as the perfect decoration for your guestbook table! Regardless of where your wedding cake topper goes, it will be sure to infuse your special day with distinctive personality, and serve as a wonderful memento of your wedding for many years to come.

Incorporating the Unity Sand Ceremony into Your Wedding

2010-08-04T15:46:00.001-07:00

The Unity Candle Ceremony is a part of many weddings, that symbolizes the couple's shared commitment to uniting their lives. The unity sand ceremony is a variation of this traditional ceremony, but instead of using a unity candle, flowing sand becomes the symbol of unification. The Unity Sand Ceremony has skyrocketed in popularity after it was performed during the 2004 wedding of The Bachelorette star Trista Rhen and Ryan Sutter.

A beach wedding is the perfect setting for the Unity Sand Ceremony, however more couples are opting to include the unity sand ceremony as part of traditional church wedding ceremonies. If you would like to include in a church ceremony, it's important to check with your place of worship to ensure that the Unity Sand ceremony can be incorporated into wedding vows.

HOW THE UNITY SAND CEREMONY WORKS:
1) The Groom will commence by pouring a portion of his into the central glass vase.

2) The Bride will follow by pouring a portion of her also into the central vase 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 accessory vases can be used to display fresh flowers while the central vase will remain a cherished keepsake of your wedding day.

The Wedding Superstore carries a couple of different designs for Unity Sand Ceremony Sets: The Unity Sand Ceremony Nesting 3 Piece Vase Set and the Heart Shaped Unity Sand Set. The sets can be personalized with names and a date or initials. Each set includes accessory or nesting vases that allow children to be invited to take part in the Blended Family Unity Sand Ceremony. There are a variety of Unity Sand colors to choose from, that will coordinate with your wedding.

Guest Book Alternatives: Metal Inscribable Signature Mat Frame

Our Metal Inscribable Signature Mat Frame is a stylish alternative for a traditional wedding guest book that you can proudly display as a keepsake from your wedding day or special occasion. There are no special treatments needed, just have your guests sign and display.
