Choosing Your Wedding Cake

Each tier is set on a small plastic tray, and those trays are then snapped onto columns, which are snapped onto the bottom layer.

The bridal bouquet is the single most important floral at your wedding. Corsages come and go, boutonnieres might not last until the next day, but the bouquet will appear in every photo of the bride and possibly dried and kept forever. No matter if the guests remember the flowers on the cake—they will remember the bouquet. So how do you choose the right size? First, consider the weight of the bouquet. The more flowers and ribbons it has, the heavier it will be. If you’re comfortable holding something that’s a little heavier, you might choose to go with one like … Continue reading →

Big Wedding Versus Small Wedding

It seems that for a long time, big weddings were expected. Guest lists of 200 to 300 people with large elaborate receptions were the way to go. After all, it is your day, so why not celebrate? I used to love looking through bridal magazines at all of the beautiful over-the-top dresses, cakes, and favors and getting all of the great wedding advice for a large wedding. But with the economy changing, some people are discovering the joy in small weddings, too. Engaged couples may now find that a large wedding with all of the trimmings is seen as ostentatious, … Continue reading →

As soon as she knew the wedding date, the mother of the bride contacted all members of the family and asked them for their favorite recipe.

Disasters and Marriage

Disasters affect relationships in one of two ways. They can bring a couple closer together as they cling to each other for support and comfort and love. Or they can produce so much anger that people turn against each other and take out their frustrations on those closest to them. This is eyes exactly what is happening in Christchurch. Reports show ‘domestic violence has surged by 50 percent after a major tremor rocked New Zealand’s second city last September.’ That tremor was ‘the prelude to Tuesday’s quake that left at least 123 dead and destroyed parts of the city centre.’ … Continue reading →
