White Weddings
Nope, it’s not a blog about another blizzard wedding….
And, it’s got nothing to do with Billy Idol…
Truthfully, it’s got nothing to do with anything except …..white weddings.
Planning as many Philadelphia weddings as The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants team does, we get to be part of some beautiful weddings….. and see some really interesting color palettes….
We’ve done chocolate brown and every imaginable color…. a really cool blending of navy, lime green and white…. pink and yellow, and tons of weddings with shades of pink and shades of purple….
All great, each beautiful in it’s own way, and reflecting that couple….
Recently we did a stunning white wedding…. I LOVED it – not only was the couple fun and great to work with…but it had a very timeless, classic look….
There is a big swing toward vintage, and classic in everything wedding…. everything from the elements of decor to cakes, gowns and hair styles….

Budgeting for Your Special Wedding Day
Budgeting for Your Special Wedding Day
by: John Michael
Getting married is still very much in vogue and with so much choice available for when where and how to get married, with careful planning you should be able to guarantee that your wedding day will indeed be a very special day.
Budgeting for that special wedding day is important as you could run up bills amounting to many thousands of pounds. Decide what you budget is at the outset, stick to it and don’t be swayed and end up spending more than you can afford.
Some of the biggest expenses will arise from the cost of the wedding attire with the bridal outfit accounting for a substantial sum of money. On top of that will be the costs of bridesmaid dresses, flowers, corsages and suit hire or purchase for the groom and best man. The wedding rings for the bride and groom will also be costly purchases as will the gifts for the bridesmaids and mums. The gifts given to the bridesmaid are usually pieces of jewellery and mums usually get lovely big bouquets of flowers.
Decide on how many people you are going to invite and then look at potential venues and catering costs and explore the alternatives. You don’t have to have a costly formal sit down meal when a more relaxed buffet style function may better suit your needs. If you do opt for formal you may choose to limit the number of people at the formal sit down meal to limit costs and then invite more guests to an evening buffet disco.
If you are getting married in church you will need to arrange some form of transport and there are many options such as Rolls Royces or maybe a horse drawn carriage.
The time of year that you are getting married may dictate many of the above, for instance you may not want arrive at a marquee in the middle of winter with the real likelihood of bad weather affecting your arrangements.
These days you can just about get married anywhere you choose and it doesn’t have to be in a church so you may be able to get married in the same venue where you are holding the reception. This will cut down on transport costs and you may get a better deal all round with an all inclusive package. Whether you choose a romantic castle in the Highlands of Scotland, a magnificent stately home or something more modest, remember stick to your budget and don’t be tempted to overspend.
Of course you and you future spouse may just decide to go abroad either alone or with a few friends and family and get married on a beach, up a mountain of even Las Vegas in Elvis Presley style. Tour operators will be very helpful in providing you with the correct advice and information about getting married abroad.
When choosing your exotic destination remember that some of the destinations we normally associate with glorious sunshine and beautiful beaches and scenery may have seasons where the weather may not be so predictable or kind. Beware of monsoon and hurricane seasons in particular.
Organising a wedding can be a very stressful affair but there are usually plenty of people that will be willing to help such as friends and family as well as wedding organisers if you want to leave everything to a professional. There are also many ways that you can get the information that you need to ensure your wedding day goes smoothly and to plan.
Whatever you decide, good luck, have fun, enjoy and make you wedding day a very special day.

Celebrity Wedding News: Gisele and Tom Brady’s Wedding
Celebrity Wedding News: Gisele and Tom Brady’s Wedding
Friday February 27, 2009
At Gisele and Tom Brady’s wedding last night, their guests might have been a little bit ill. Well, at least I would have been - those two are just too darn attractive!
Fortunately, supermodel Gisele and New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady had a tiny wedding, so hopefully their guests knew them well enough to be used to their prettiness. Their ceremony took place at 6pm at St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California, followed by a small gathering at their home. According to People Magazine, among those present was Brady’s 1 ½ son, John Edward Thomas, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
It’s not all that surprising that the two got married, but it is surprising that they got married on a Thursday, and that their engagement only lasted one month. Perhaps an incredibly short engagement is the new celebrity wedding trend?
