The "Flushing Bride?

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white two-ply extra soft toilet paper.

Scanning through the news this morning, I was caught off guard by this headline. "Bride in Toilet Paper Dress to Tie the Knot in Times Square Restroom"

The bride will be wearing a gown fashioned from glue, tape, and Charmin Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong toilet tissue sheets, designed by Hanah Kim, winner of the 2007 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest.

Well, I guess if the mother of the bride starts to shed some tears, atleast there will be plenty of tissue handy.

Toss Bouquet Idea

This idea I think is just fantastic: a break-away toss bouquet. Each mini bouquet with a charm, each charm has its own meaning. When thrown the bouquet breaks apart, and it is also a surprise which charm (or wish) each maid will receive. So no more mad massacres at the reception! Well not as much of one (depending on how many maids you have at your reception), since there would be several bouquets going into the air. Check out this website for charm ideas. http://www.weddingcakecharms.com/ There are many to choose from and each has its own special meaning.

Writing Your Own Vows

Writing your own wedding vows may suit your personal wedding style, but it can be a bit of a daunting task to begin with. If you are trying to write your own vows, don’t let the task overwhelm you or intimidate you. Writing your own vows should begin and end with how you feel, not what others are expecting. If you are creating your own wedding ceremony and style and you want to write your own vows, here are a few questions to consider in creating the vows you want to make.

*When and where did you first meet?
*What was the state of your life before the two of you met?
*At what point did you realize you were in love? Describe the feeling.
*What inspires you about your loved one?
*What life goals and dreams do you share?
*What have you learned from each other?
*What qualities make your love unique? What qualities will keep it strong?
*How has your view of the world changed since you fell in love?
*What do you most look forward to about life with this person?
*What are some special moments in your relationship?
*What happened the day you asked her to marry you?

Reading the vows you have written yourself during your wedding ceremony can be one of the most romantic things you’ve ever done. It’s the kind of thing that really helps you create your own personal wedding style. Writing your own vows is a kind of personal touch that cannot be replicated by any other style of vow.

Winter Themed Weddings

Though it isn't snowing outside it sure is getting cold. Living here in Texas we really don't see alot of ideal like Winters. When I think of a winter wonderland scene, I envision an old fashioned frozen pond with people dressed warmly in sweaters, hats, gloves and mittens ice skating on it, snowmen have been built alongside the pond, icicles drip from the trees and it makes me want a hot cup of cocoa and a roaring fire to go home to. This is one nostalgic scene of a winter wonderland. You could take this scene and use the elements to create your own winter wonderland theme wedding.
When planning your winter wonderland theme wedding you can use all these fabulous winter elements like snowflakes and icicles, ice skates and sleds and use them in your decorations. You can create a nostalgic scene by using a dark blue and a light blue with a more country essence or you could have a sleek and modern winter wonderland by just focusing on the metallic color scheme and using mainly the snowflakes and icicles. With the metallic colors, snowflakes and icicles I envision a cool, modern and sexy winter wonderland. Any way you choose you winter wonderland theme wedding will turn out perfect for you.
