I’ve been looking online to see how you can decorate the walk up the aisle. Here are some that may be helpful:
This one is quite easy to make by yourself. However, I do realise that it needs the chairs which you can hang it on. Or perhaps you could just pin them on the other chairs?
Now this is very extravagent but it looks absolutely divine. I wonder where they found the drop cyrstals? Perhaps some old chandeliers? I once went to a posh NY apartment where the owner said she …

Not sure how much you can really save but here they are. I would advise others to not over do some of the ideas because you just look really tacky and cheap:
Buy the plain white iced cakes from Marks &Spencer or similar and decorate with fresh flowers
Buy bridesmaids dresses from ebay or Monsoon/Coast in the sales
Rope your friends and family with any skills in to help - decorating rooms, floristry, neat handwriting for invitations and name places, musicians, people with nice cars to drive you, people with big gardens, photographers, …

The wedding invitation provide the first introduction to your wedding and may set the style and theme of your special day.
1. If you are having a traditional ceremony and dinner, get a stiff card (350 gsm or more) with engraved or copperplate printed text. If you plan to have a more contemporary or informal theme, you could use coloured cards, a modern font and a less formal layout.
2. Wedding invitations no longer need to be boring white. In fact, in Chinese culture, I heard white envelopes are unlucky. Go for …

Have you seen Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) on the new Vogue India cover? Shes in a sari, the Indian national costume and looks very elegant! She even said “I’ve never played it safe with my image”
I’ve been thinking of saris for bridesmaids the last few weeks. One of my bridesmaids is a Tamil Sri Lankan and they also wear the saris, but just in a different style. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think they wear it with the back embroidery up front.
I had the crazy idea of getting …

So I found these questions on a wedding forum that a professional photographer himself had written. Hope this helps!
1. Before you even look at a photographer set your budget, if you can only afford £200 for a photographer, you can only afford £200. Don’t you cutting back on other things as you have found a £1000 photographer otherwise you will be holding your wedding breakfast in MacDonald’s as that will be all that is left in the wedding fund.
2. Once you have your budget, STICK to it, don’t be frightened …

There is a wide stretch between the two gardens where the buffet will be served. I’m thinking of decorating the area with some flowers or ribbons in the colours of our wedding.
I just saw this on my other favourite wedding blog and thought it was so lovely and creative to use cloths hanging:
This got me thinking about the flowers in India where they decorate the wedding venues:
I think you’d need to pray for some wind but not too much. A light breeze would make these decorations look amazing!
Okay maybe these …

Last night, I got back in touch with a old school friend and we had a wonderful time comparing notes about weddings. Its crazy to think that 7 years ago, we were both fresh out of high school and now we are both doing law and married!
Here are some photos from her facebook of her wedding and some others. I thought someone could get inspiration from these photos.
I love how that silk cloth makes the centre piece so beautiful. I think I might use that idea actually.
I know most people …

A pencil
Paper glue (Pritt stick)
Superglue
