Are you looking for some suggestions on how to design fall wedding invitations? For starters, when you are planning a fall wedding you might want to match the season and the stationery. Autumn is really a beautiful time, so it is not surprising that you would want the invitations to correspond to this season.Ideas for fall wedding invitation:

Colors: You can choose any color you want for your wedding invitations. The traditional colors are cream, white or beige with black. These days, many brides are using the wedding colors all the way through the planning, such as for the wedding stationery. In case you would like to stay traditional and only add a bit of modern style, you can use fall colors to accentuate the invitation, rather than overwhelming it. These colors can be used on your borders or across swirls, shapes and the designs for the invitation itself. A few of the popular color choices for a fall wedding include red, orange, dark yellow and all brown shades. Of course, you can simply use one of these colors as the primary shade for the stationery and then use white, black or other hues to soften the images.

Themes: Apart from selecting the right colors for the stationery, you could use themed invitations. As you can imagine, the most obvious theme for weddings in the fall would include leaves. This means that your fall wedding invitations could have colored or falling leaves. You can find different types of stationery on the market with this particular wedding theme. So, besides the leaves you can also use trees or pumpkins. One more theme to consider would be invitations with fall flowers. This is usually a great idea since you can select the same flowers for the invitations like the ones in the wedding bouquets, centerpieces and flower arrangements.Some more things to consider: When you decide to use fall invitations, then more than likely you would also plan to use the same theme for the entire day. Luckily, this will not be a difficult task to accomplish, because you can easily use flowers which are blooming in autumn. These include flowers like mini calla lilies, lavender, marigold, heather, asters and cosmos. You could decide to use only these flowers or just add them to your flower arrangements all year round. Some of the popular flowers to use all year long include mums, lilies, roses and carnations.Apart from the stationery used for your fall wedding invitations and the flowers, you can also choose fall colors as the wedding colors so that your dress and the bridesmaids outfits will represent the season.

Fall Wedding Venues Created by Nature Fall wedding venues are inspired by Nature herself as she helps you create the perfect décor and ambiance for a wedding just by picking the perfect location.

If your wedding is later in the year and you haven’t yet booked your venue, some ideas for wedding venues that are decorated by nature are wooded parks, vineyards, old churches, meeting houses, and even farmhouses and barns. These structures are oftentimes nestled among nature’s most beautiful locations with trees and flowers and shrubs that provide autumn blooms that can’t be recreated in retail stores.Add some pumpkins or corn stalks along the walkway to the ceremony location, add some vines and golden florals to an arbor or archway and you have have a beautiful setting for saying your vows.Find a location with a small creek or stream nearby and take a nature walk down the aisle by way of a tree lined wooden pathway or covered bridge.The ideas and options for fall venues are unlimited, as is Nature’s way of providing its beautiful season colors for decorating.

Fall Wedding DecorationsWhile the basic fall colors theme can stay the same, your decorations can also include seasonal holiday themes added to your table decorations.

Use holiday theme ideas for your fall wedding decorations and incorporate ideas like decorated pumpkins, colored corn, squash, flower petals.If your wedding is close to Thanksgiving, place little pilgrims or turkeys around the table.If your wedding is earlier, closer to Halloween, place little decorated pumpkins or jack-o-lantern candles at table settings. Or keep your decorations beautifully simple and seasonal by using Nature’s own autumn golden, oranges, bronzes and greens with leaves and flower petals sprinkled around the table. Have vines filled with dark grapes, leaves, foliage and flowers on a arbor or over an archway. Stalks of colored corn and straw bundled together add a flair to church pews. For an outdoor event, place them aside your walkway on the way to your altar.Colorful table decoration ideas with a fun slant can include little pumpkin men with hats and big flowers, or little wooden shoes filled with decorative flowers or colorful squash. Whatever your decorating ideas are, the season itself should stimulate anyone’s imagination.

Fall Bridal Bouquets With the autumn season Nature gives us fall wedding flowers full of rich colors and an opportunity to include creative and woodsy ideas into bouquets such as seed pods, hypericum berries, ryegrass and bittersweet vines.Or create a simpler bouquet of one or two long stem blooms then wrap the stems in copper wire and finish off with ribbon, lace or tulle.Because there is no right or wrong bouquet style, you can do whatever you want to create your perfect bouquet.

Fall Wedding and Reception Flower Arrangements Create colorful and vibrant centerpieces and other flower arrangements from a variety of seasonal flowers in bloom including orange and burgundy roses accented with holly and irises.Your wedding arrangements can also accent small pumpkins gourds, or squash or they can be the main part of the arrangement accented with ornamental berries, dry grasses or leaves.

Festive and Elegant Fall Wedding Favors If you use your imagination for your fall wedding favors, you can come up with really creative ideas for seasonal or holiday favors like leaf or pumpkin shaped bookmarks in golden, orange or brown.

Fill little pumpkins or horns o’ plenty with candy corn and fall colored candies, then wrap them in tulle or organza bags.Set a small candy or caramel apple at each place setting for an added festive dessert. Place setting name tags can double as festive table decorations by using tea-light name place holders at each place setting.Because of the autumn season’s colors and holidays, wedding favors don’t have to be expensive to look expensive.

Beautiful Fall Wedding Cakes The autumn season with its rich and vibrant colors lends itself to creating stunning fall wedding cakes, whether you decide on a simply decorated cake with just a couple of tiers, or a lavish several tiered cake.

Wedding in the Bahamas – What You should know about having a wedding in the Bahamas.

By holidayhorizon

Article by Glenn S. Ferguson

A wedding in the Bahamas is fast becoming the trend for brides looking for an exotic, romantic, warm weather destination wedding in the Caribbean.

And the reason for this trend is quite evident as the Bahamas has more islands, secluded pink and white powdery sand beaches and crystal clear territorial water than all the islands in the Caribbean combined. In fact the Bahamas has more than 5,000 miles of beaches spread across 700 islands and cays, making the Bahamas home to some of the world’s most secluded and exotic beaches.

The Bahamas is also home to some of the world’s most luxurious resorts making it the ideal place for not only a wedding but a honeymoon as well and most brides are taking notes as noted by Brides Magazine, the world’s oldest and most widely read bridal magazine in its March 2011 issue.

So when it comes to having a wedding in the Bahamas here is what you should know:-

The first requirement for having your wedding in the Bahamas is that you must have a Marriage License issued by the Office of the Registrar General in the Bahamas.

And secondly, you need to have your wedding performed by a Bahamas Licensed Marriage Officer, that is what a certified Wedding Officiant in the Bahamas is called.

And we recommend that you select a Bahamas Wedding Officiant from Bahamas Destinations Wedding as they can also help you get priority approval of your marriage license application.

And what are the requirements for getting a “Marriage License” in the Bahamas?

1. You must be at least 18 years of age and reside in the Bahamas for at least 24 hours.2. Be able to prove that you are who you say you are with proper official photo documents like a passport or birth certificate.3.Be able to prove that you are single (never been married), Divorced or Widowed. And you do this with an affidavit of single hood, original or certified copy of Divorce Final Decree or Death Certificate of the deceased spouse.4. Visiting the Registrar General’s Office at #50 Shirley Street and making an application.5. Pay the required Marriage License fee of 0.00

And once approved by the Registrar your Bahamas Marriage License is available for collection the next day.

However, you must know that if you are forty years of age and single it will take at least two weeks for the application to be approved. As a mandatory search of your single hood is required.

And once you have your Marriage License then it is given to your Bahamas Licensed Marriage Officer as his authorization to perform your wedding ceremony.

How to Have an Eco Friendly Wedding

By holidayhorizon

Article by Rod Hoss

As the society grows more responsible towards its surroundings, recognizing the significance of individual efforts towards environment conservation, more ways are being devised to achieve that end. A few years earlier, no one could have thought of the concept of eco-friendly marriages, but it has become a growing trend. There are various ways to replace the conventional elements with their ‘green’ substitutes.

Ways to make your wedding environment friendly:

Invitations:

Though much of correspondence is sent over the internet these days, invitations for key personal events are among the exception. One good alternative to the high quality fancy papers is the recycled paper. Such paper reduces the energy consumption, greenhouse gases, particulate emissions, and industrial waste, apart from wood. Recycled papers are also made in various colors, textures, and design patterns for different types of uses. Avoid chlorine-bleached paper and insist on 100% PCW (post-consumer waste) paper.

Rings and jewelry:

Mineral and metal mining industries are highly risky that take hundreds of lives each year. By committing to wear recycled jewelry and wedding rings, you can contribute towards the reduction in demand for new metals and stones. Since the original metal from the old pieces is melted and recast during recycling, the new jewelry is a fresh one in itself. Even studded items can be recycled.

Fabric:

The processes to create synthetic dress materials are highly polluting. As an alternative, the wedding outfits for everyone involved can be created out of natural fibers, like cotton, hemp, etc. For people, who are fond of soft, shiny, and flowing fabrics, peace silk is an excellent option. This type of silk is primarily cultured in India and is cruelty-free. It utilizes the silk from the cocoon discarded by the moth and spun as fibers, rather than killing the worms in hot water.

Decorations:

Choosing the natural option of flowers instead of decorative paper or plastic is not only healthy, but also beautiful.

Food and drinks:

Shun synthetically prepared meals, processed foods, fizzy drinks, etc. in the favor of organic feasts. Drinks made vegetation grown organically are fast gaining popularity. Therefore, you can set a new tradition by serving your guests with pink Champagne.

Honeymoon:

The good news is that even your honeymoon can go green. Choose an eco-friendly exotic location, rather than the sophisticated modern resorts or hotels. Such options do not add to environmental woes by emitting harmful gases from their air conditioning units, refrigerators, and so on. In addition, they have a salutary effect on your body and soul.
