Xmas wedding
It's the most wonderful time of the year, your family is gathered around you, and the church is already decorated. Why not have a Christmas wedding? Here are ideas and tips to have a fantastic Christmas wedding with all the trimmings. 
WEDDING COLOURS: - Silver & white
- silver and light blue
-burgundy, forest green, and gold (as long as the existing decorations aren't too primary)
-gold and cream
Since flowers can be more expensive at this time of year, think creatively. A mirrored platter with pillar candles and sprigs of holly is both elegant and romantic. Buy ornaments in bulk on-line, and create centerpieces of bowls or vases of ornaments. For a simple but elegant look, put pots of poinsettia with a ribbon trim in the center of each table. Fake snow used to be tacky, but there are now very good products available. Set candles or small flower arrangements in the middle of snow. And for my favorite touch, use fake snow instead of an aisle runner. Or, you can always hire a snow-making machine to really make your Christmas wedding a winter wonderland.

Plan Your Summer Wedding Flowers
Having a summer wedding? Then there is a great choice of summer wedding flowers for you. In fact it is the time of year when there is a natural explosion of colourful blooms available. These include everything from tall flowering plants that are ideal for venue arrangements to delicate flowering annuals. Traditional Summer Flowers
Planning a wedding around traditional summer flowers is easy. Stock has pretty white and pink varieties, and a strong sweet scent.It is generally available around late spring and summer. Some people think of stock as a bit old-fashioned since the arrival of exotic tropical flowers, but they do have an appeal and beauty all of their own.The wonderful tall blue delphiniums are available at this time and these work well in ceremony arrangements, as do gladioli.Other flowers that can be combined into traditional summer arrangements includecolumbine (aquilegia), snapdragons (Antirrhinums), and irises.
Wedding Flower Favourites
The popular wedding flower favourites are all available at this time of year and make excellent summer wedding flowers. Roses are out in abundance in our gardens during summer, and are a popular choice for many brides. Nowadays there is no problem in getting roses year round from florists.
Lilies and calla lilies will be seen at many summer weddings. Calla lilies can make the most perfect white wedding flowers. They can be mixed with other flowers, as in the bouquet above left.Lilies such as 'stargazer' can be used in venue arrangements. Their large blooms and scent make them popular choices. Just make sure you do not get lily pollen on your white dress. It is nearly impossible to remove on the day.Gerberas are another well-liked alternative. These perfectly round flowers are great for bridal bouquets (above right), as well as for adding fun and interest to reception arrangements.Unusual Summer Wedding Flowers
Less usual flowers that can be used at a summer wedding includecockscomb (Celosia). This plant gets its name from the crinkled, velvety flower head that resembles a rooster's comb. It's a great flower to add texture, and bright colour to a bouquet and other arrangements. It is available in a variety of colours including red, yellow and pink (see below).
Love-in-a-Mist (Nigella) is not commonly used in wedding bouquets. However it can be successfully combined with other flowers such as roses to create a really different type of bouquet. The plant gets its name from the feathery foliage that surrounds the flower heads. This can add an interesting extra dimension to your bouquet. http://www.wedding-flowers-guide.com/

25 Golden Rules for a Perfect Wedding
There are just so many things to cover, from choosing the right reception site and finding reliable vendors to sticking to a budget, not to mention taking care of creative details like the food, flowers, décor and so on. It takes a lot of work to get it all done, and you're probably getting nervous just reading this.
Relax! We guarantee this comprehensive guide to your most important wedding planning moves will help make your celebration—and your first stint as a party-throwing diva—a resounding success.
1. Discuss your "vision." Sit down with your fiancé and talk about your idea of a"dream" wedding. Cover as many details as you can: Will it be big or small? Formal or casual? At home or away? Will the reception have a theme—say, all winter white, with glittering crystal everywhere?
Don't leave anything out, no matter how extravagant (you've always envisioned arriving at the church in a horse-drawn carriage). Doing this will identify what's important to both of you and also help you decide what's feasible.
2. Find your style. Before you book a single appointment or make a wedding-related purchase, start browsing through magazines (not just bridal books, but home décor, travel and fashion magazines, too) to generate ideas about the general look of your affair.
3. Establish a budget. Unless you just won the mega-million-dollar jackpot, there's no getting around drawing up a budget when you're planning a wedding.
4. Dare to be different. Want to make your celebration stand out from all those cookie-cutter weddings you've been to? Think personalization—that's the term industry professionals use. It can mean incorporating ethnic traditions into your ceremony, having your bridesmaids choose their own dresses so they don't all look alike, inviting your beloved dog to the reception, asking your caterer to prepare a special family recipe for dinner or even having your cake decorated with your new married monogram. You're only limited by your imagination.
5. Get it in writing. Repeat after us: Contracts are a bride's best friend. Study the fine print on anything a vendor asks you to sign, and be sure that you understand what you've agreed to. For example, your band or DJ may be willing to stay past the established stop time—for an overtime fee. If so, the terms should be stipulated in the contract so that you don't end up with a several-hundred-dollar surprise at the end of the night.
6. Pay with plastic. Use a credit card rather than cash or a check when you put down deposits at the time you sign the contracts. Should anything go wrong, such as a vendor who reneges or goes out of business, your credit cardcompany won't hold you responsible for costs incurred. Bonus: If you have (or apply for) a credit card with frequent-flier mile rewards, you can use those points toward purchasing your honeymoon flights.
7. Organize like a master. Keep meticulous records of all your wedding details on a Palm Pilot or computer, in a Filofax or giant folder, or even in a paper bag from the grocery store. There's simply too much going on right now to keep it all in your head, and this way you'll be able to access information easily when the need arises.
8. Choose your pros carefully. Buying a vendor's service is similar to purchasing a car. You want the most for your money, and you don't want to be stuck with a lemon. So, ask recently married friends and family for recommendations and meet the prospective pros in person (you'll be spending a lot of time together, so you want to click).
9. Consider getting help. As any recent bride will tell you, throwing a wedding, while exciting, is no walk in the park. That's why it may be smart to bring in an expert. A wedding coordinator will do everything from finding you an excellent photographer based on your needs and budget to confirming the bouquet delivery time and arranging your train on the day of the wedding.
Want to wow your guests with a themed event? Your pro can tell you what's in—and out. She can even save you money, Successful planners get discounts from preferred vendors by giving them a lot of repeat business—breaks that, in turn, get passed on to you. So, you could end up earning back all or most of the planner's fee, not to mention saving time and sparing yourself the hassles of orchestrating a big event.
10. Go surfing. The Internet has just about revolutionized wedding planning. You can listen to a band's music, peruse a photographer's or florist's work, take virtual tours of reception sites and compare costs. Practically the only thing you can't do online is taste cakes. Just don't book someone based on the beauty of the site alone. While a professional-looking site is a good sign, it's no guarantee the service will match. Again, visit pros in person and always check references.
11. Plan your destination wedding wisely. Whether you choose to wed in your favorite vacation spot or on the other side of the world, it's crucial to pick the site carefully. First, work with a hotel or resort that really wants your business. A property that offers package deals (with discounts) and employs an on-site wedding coordinator is a good bet.
12. Beware of hidden charges. When you're comparing prices among caterers, for instance, don't just look at per-person rates. Your final bill will likely include all sorts of additional charges, from coat-room attendant costs to cake-cutting and corkage fees, that will push that number up significantly. To avoid surprises, ask to see a sample final bill from a recent event so you can get a more accurate estimate.
13. Negotiate. Wondering if you can get a better rate from a vendor? For heaven's sake, ask. The worst that can happen is the person says no. Remember that wedding professionals don't want to turn you away and then have to meet with 10 other brides-to-be in order to line up a job. They want to seal the deal. So they may very well be willing to work with you for a little less than the quoted rate.
14. Hook up with other brides.
15. Face the music.
16. Pay attention to timing.
17.Be a grateful bride. Sure, you'll give gifts to your bridesmaids and send thank-you cards to your guests, but how will you show appreciation during the wedding? Think how many weddings you've attended where the bride and groom seem to consider it a privilege that they've invited you, when in reality it's a privilege for them that you've come to help kick off their life together.
18. Be a beauty maven. Don't wait until the week of your wedding to think about your big-day hairstyle.
19. Think about your guests' comfort.
20. Get the word out early. As soon as you set your wedding date, send out "save the date" cards, in which you provide information about themes, dress codes, area hotels, activities and so on. This is especially true if you're having a destination wedding, or if you will have a lot of guests coming to your town from afar, since people will have to arrange time off from work and book flights.
21. Get Oscar-worthy film coverage. Remember, photographs and/or videotape will be the only tangible, lasting mementos of your wedding, so resist the temptation to skimp on these services in order to save money.
22. Make a great first impression. Your invitations are not just a means of giving guests date and time information; they are the guests' first glimpse of your wedding's tone and style. So, get creative! Having a formal affair? Select a thick-stock paper with elegant black engraving.
23. Know the #1 rule for keeping costs down. Since nearly every major wedding expense is based on how many guests you have, cutting the guest list is a way to save money without sacrificing quality. (What'll it be, rubber chicken for 200 people, or filet mignon for 100?) Yes, trimming is hard, and your family may balk, but remember that you don't have to invite everyone you know, such as all your work colleagues or all your parents' country club buddies.
24. Take care of yourself. Smart brides take time to pamper themselves throughout the planning process, getting regular massages, manicures and other feel-good treatments. But many let these things slide in the final hectic weeks when they're making last-minute arrangements, getting confirmations and troubleshooting.
Even if you can't take weekly pedicure breaks, try as best you can to keep up other healthful habits—like eating and sleeping well, and getting regular exercise—so you don't feel run-down on your wedding day. If at all possible, take a few days off work right before the wedding. Read, nap, watch TV, play with your pet and go to places that make you feel serene, like a park or museum.
25. Be present at your own party. You and your groom set the tone for your own wedding. If you're fully "engaged" in the festivities—socializing with guests, enjoying the meal, rocking out on the dance floor—your guests will follow suit, and everyone will have a fabulous time. But if you're constantly outside getting your photograph taken, or huddled in the corner consulting with the caterer or DJ, the celebration may lose its momentum.
Trust the professionals you've hired to do their jobs, and appoint either a reliable friend or relative, or a wedding coordinator, to be the point person for that day, just in case something goes awry. This way, you can set your sights on fully enjoying each and every delicious moment.

World’s Weirdest Wedding Customs
All over the world, people practice numerous wedding customs that have been passed on through many generations. Although each has a long history of meaning and significance, many just seem strange and out of place in today’s culture. Are they just opportunities to playfully scam the bride and groom?
Check out some of the historical wedding customs that are still practiced today, much to the intrigue and wonderment of its audience.
In the Scottish pre-wedding tradition of “Blackening the Bride,” The bride is taken by surprise and covered with foul substances, such as eggs, various sauces, feathers, and well you name it…
The bride to be, officially blackened, is the then paraded around town, and of course a few pubs, for all to see.
Filmed in Fraserburgh and Rosehearty, in the north east of Scotland in 2007. A bride to be is subjected to a traditional ‘blackening’, one of the strangest of all pre-wedding traditions.
In many small villages throughout Germany, friends of the bride and groom will kidnap the bride and hide her somewhere.The groom then has to search to find her.
Of course the search always begins in the local pub, for obvious reasons, where the groom will invite everyone to join him in the search, after buying them all a drink.
This ritual has been known to end badly. . .
Indian weddings, which are traditionally multi-day affairs, involve many intricate ceremonies, such as “medhndi”, the practice of painting intricate patterns on the bride’s hands and feet.
The idea is to make the bride feel like a princess as she is about to start a new life.
An old, adorable Swedish custom is for the bride to carry coins in her shoes.
A silver coin from her father is placed in the left shoe, while a gold coin from her mother in the right shoe, ensuring she will never go without.
Guest Kissers
At Swedish wedding receptions, guests may get an opportunity to kiss the bride or groom.If the bride goes to the restroom, all of the women at the reception line up to kiss the groom.
If the groom exits the room and is out of sight, the men line up to kiss the bride.
The French have an interesting after-wedding tradition known as Chiverie.
During this traditional prank, friends and family of the newly married couple gather in the evening and clang pots and pans, ring bells, and blow horns intended to startle and interrupt the couple.
Upon hearing the noise, the newlyweds are to come out, still wearing their wedding attire, and provide their tormenters various refreshments.
African Americans embrace the “Jumping the broom” ritual. Its origin is a little vague, but its meaning is agreed as the beginning of the newlyweds creating their happy home.
The “Jumping the Broom” is a ceremony in which the bride and groom, either at the ceremony or at the reception, signify their entrance into a new life and their creation of a new family by symbolically “sweeping away” their former single lives, former problems and concerns, and jumping over the broom to enter upon a new adventure as wife and husband.
The “Jumping the Broom” is a ceremony in which the bride and groom, either at the ceremony or at the reception, signify their entrance into a new life and their creation of a new family by symbolically “sweeping away” their former single lives, former problems and concerns, and jumping over the broom to enter upon a new adventure as wife and husband.This “leap” into a new life (marriage as wife and husband is performed in the presence of families and friends. You can be as creative as you want when planning for this special ceremony.
In Italy it was customary for the groom to carry a talisman, piece of iron, in his pocket on the day of his wedding. The talisman was believed to ward off misfortune, while the bride’s veil covered and protected her from evil spirits.
When the wedding day came to an end, the newly married couple would shatter a vase or glass into many pieces. The number of pieces represented the expected number of years they would be happily married.
In Mexico, during the wedding the Groom bestows his bride a gift of 13 coins, or arras, representing Jesus and his 12 apostles. The coins are to be blessed by the priest and bear the groom’s promise to care for and provide for his wife.
In the old days of Ireland, couples dined on salt and oatmeal at the beginning of their reception: both the bride and groom would take three mouthfuls as a protection against the power of the evil eye.
During the reception, when the couple is dancing, the brides feet must remain on the floor. It is said that Fairies love beautiful things and their favorite beautiful thing is a bride. If the bride was to have even one foot off the ground, then she could be swept away by the Fairies.
It is bad luck for a bride, as well as anyone attending the wedding, to wear green at an Irish wedding. It’s also bad luck for a bride or the groom to sing at their own wedding. Of course that last one might have just resulted from a few too many weddings with bad singers…

Avoid Weight Gain After the Wedding
If you’re getting married, you’re probably imagining a future full of romantic images - long walks on the beach while holding hands and gazing at one another lovingly through the trials of life. What you don’t imagine is the two of you sprawled on a couch 10 years later, 30 pounds overweight. While we’d much rather imagine a more svelte future, the reality is a little different. Weight gain is common as we get older, but married people may gain 6 to 9 pounds more than single people, a fact that may make you want to lace up your running shoes and sprint down the aisle just to burn a few more calories.
Putting On the Marriage Pounds
There are a number of theories for why we gain weight after we get married, but it’s always the husband’s fault, or so my female clients tell me. One study published in Obesity found that a shared environment may "increase the likelihood of becoming obese, influence partner concordance and may be an important target for obesity intervention." Other reasons may include:
Less incentive to stay thin once we’ve found a partner
Post-pregnancy pounds stick around and may multiply for both parents
Eating out more or cooking larger meals
Couching it. Married couples tend to watch more TV than single people
Busy schedules leave less time for physical activity and cooking healthy meals
Another problem is that the weight gain often creeps up and you may not even realize you're watching more TV or that you’ve skipped your Sunday morning run for several weeks. Before you take on your partner's habits, take some time to plan a future that's healthier for both of you.
Avoid Post-Wedding Weight Gain
1. Establish Good Habits Early On
As many married couples can tell you, what you do together often becomes a habit and one favorite habit involves a couch, a television and your behind. If you watch TV every night, chances are good you’ll be doing that many years from now as well. Some ideas for avoiding this:
Stick to your workouts –It’s easy to get off track with your workouts after the wedding. Make exercise priority as soon as you get settled in. Letting too much time pass makes it harder to get back on track.
Do things together – It’s easy to collapse on the couch every night, but it’s just as easy to establish more active habits. Decide you'll take a walk after dinner, playing active Wii games or taking the dog for a romp in the park.
Make exercise part of your marriage - If you both like to exercise, you’re lucky. Many couples battle with one another because one likes to exercise and the other doesn’t. If that’s the case, dig around to find something you both enjoy–-bike rides, hiking or a tennis match on a sunny weekend. You may have to learn a new sport, but who says hitting a tiny white ball with a club a million times on a sweltering day is boring or frustrating? Not you!
Set ground rules – Make it a rule that you can only watch TV certain nights of the week or for a certain period of time. If video games are a factor, decide together what’s a reasonable amount of time to play without driving the other person crazy. Finding ways to enjoy downtime without letting it take over is the very essence of balance.
2. Deal With Your Eating Styles
You may be tempted to abandon your healthy eating habits after the wedding or to force the other person into abandoning his or her eating habits in favor of yours. Adapting isn’t always easy, especially if you have different dietary approaches. If she used to keep a freezer full of corn dogs and Snickers, she won’t be too happy to open the door to your frozen tofu-tree-bark-lemon-wedge surprise. On the other hand, you may have a hard time resisting temptation if you constantly see that Snickers every time you look in the freezer.
I’ve worked with a variety of clients with this issue and they've found different ways of negotiating the meal minefield:
Every man for himself - One couple I worked with had a fend-for-yourself approach to meals, where each person made his own meal. In this scenario, you each get what you want but, if you’re eating at different times, your meals may be a little lonely. One option is to make dinner together, even if you make separate meals.
The chef is the decider - Another couple I worked with followed the rule that whoever cooks the meals decides what to make. This works well if a healthy cook is in charge and the person who’s eating is willing to eat anything. As the husband told me, "She tells me what to do and I do it. There. You’ve just learned the secret to a happy marriage."
Separate meals - One client I worked with made two meals every night, a healthy one for her and a less healthy version for her husband. This is extra work on the chef but, for some couples, it works.
Make meals together - Nothing bonds a couple together more than poring over a cookbook and wondering, "What does ‘blanch’ the green beans mean?" Making meals together gives you a chance to influence what’s cooking and make it healthier. Now you can say, "Maybe we could just use a teaspoon of olive oil to sauté the green beans instead of a whole stick of butter. Just a suggestion."
Avoid too much eating out - If neither one of you is a great cook, you may end up making the other mistake married couples make: Eating out all the time. One couple I worked with solved this problem by taking a cooking class together and making new recipes each week.
However you work things out, talk about how you can make it easier on each other. If he’s a junk food addict and you can’t be around it, give him his own secret cabinet and agree that he’ll only eat it when you’re not around. If she’s forcing her tofu-tree-bark-lemon-wedge surprise on you at every meal, make a rule that you’ll try it once and, if you don't like it, she’ll have to try a tree-barkless recipe.
We often abandon our old lives when we get married and, in some ways, it’s good to create new routines to bring you closer together. Making sure those routines are healthy can be tough, but well worth the effort if it helps you avoid those post-wedding pounds.

Diet after Christmas!!
Let's face it, people want to know how to lose weight after Christmas the easy way. Because with New Year's coming up and having stuffed yourself with all those holidays treats, the thought of starting a new diet is just too frustrating. But if your New Year's resolution is to lose weight weight quickly but at the same time naturally, then there is a way to do that.
There exists a special dieting technique that is more than likely going to help you lose weight after Christmas very quickly. What makes it unique is that this dieting technique is rather easy to accomplish and requires no exercise, no extreme dieting and deprivation. This technique is called calorie shifting with which you can lose up to 10 or more pounds in less than 2 weeks.
Calorie shifting has been around for awhile now but has been kept quiet due to it's unusual style of dieting. It is designed to naturally cause your fat burning system and metabolism to skyrocket and stay that way as long as you keep on continuing the technique. But is it done?
Now this may sound crazy but it works. Calorie shifting is done by eating 4 or more meals a day with every meal being in different calorie values and mixing up the order in which you eat them day after day. This style of eating has been proven to cause your body to raise it's metabolism and fat burning system in order to process this new eating method.
And because this happens, you can begin to experience weight loss very quickly, even during the first day. In addition calorie shifting is very flexible. You can continue eating most of your favorite foods and not deprive yourself like most other dieting methods would.
This is a perfect way to lose weight after Christmas and a great way to fullfill a New Year's resolution to lose weight fast. In addition calorie shifting can be accomplish by anyone. It doesn't matter how much you weight or if you have bad genes. Calorie shifting does not descriminate and naturally causes weight loss that very few diets can even come close to.
It is a perfect way to lose weight if you're tired of looking of performing dieting regimes and need a fast and safe way to lose weight. But if you're still skeptical about calorie shifting and wonder if it's worth trying, then I recommend you take a look at this page and pick up a free 20 page weight loss guide explaining why calorie shifting works so fast and 4 other diets that all help you lose weight in a healthy and safe way.
