Having problems seating all those awkward family members and friends at your wedding reception? Who will sit together? Does the table have the right balance? Questions that anyone who has ever organised a wedding will no doubt have asked

Fear not, the answer may have been staring you in the face I'm talking colours of course, and to help, try using this great colour planner Simply fit each of your guests into one of the colour categories to create harmony on your most special of days

White - Guests in this category are optimistic with pure intentions This is why white is such a popular wedding dress colour as it symbolises everything which is good whilst bringing people together White is really an amalgamation of the entire spectrum of colours and is at the centre of any colour chart, therefore you should use white category guests as people who will bring a table together

Ivory - Is symbolic of intelligence and seclusion (as in Ivory Towers) Ivory Guests should be seated at tables where they can go about their intellectual pursuits in seclusion without bothering less high-brow guests This maybe at first seem difficult, after all it is the most social of gatherings On reflection try placing them close to white category guests who will help to draw them out a little

Red - Guests who are strong willed and even a little courageous could well have red personalities Two unrelated reds seated in close proximity is never a good idea as a clash of wills could almost certainly ensue For a contrasting table put them with green guests or for a more complimentary table lilac or orange guests would be a great combination

Lilac - Is symbolic of being spiritually balanced Ideally your guest will be contented with himself and his immediate surroundings and because lilac also symbolises new love your guest will also be enjoying a blossoming relationship so a partner will need to be close by Compliment lilac guests by placing them with green guests

Green - Symbolises a generous and practical person, realistically these guests are hard to find so use them sparingly Generous guests are always appreciated but with a practical side you may find they have the confidence to head the table Greens compliment orange guests and you could mix with a couple of red guests for a little added spice

Orange - Any guests falling into the orange category (which is symbolised by a joyful and sociable manner) should be placed on tables where there may be concern over an adequate flow of conversation Your orange guest will be able to raise a laugh around the table Any red guests in close proximity will provide a joyous and raucous atmosphere

Pink - Is a colour which symbolises positive energy, love, compassion and friendship Pink guests are very good at mediation and provide a great balance between red and green guests

Black - 'The Protector' will make sure guests on other tables don't make any attempt to steal wine, wedding favours or other treats from their table! A pink guest on this table may help calm things down

Gold - Has always been a symbol of strength, and this strength derives from power, wealth and a vibrant personality Any guest who falls into this category will be successful with a big personality Be careful when placing these people next to white category or pink guests as they just don't go!

Silver - Guests who have both a spiritual and a healing personality need only apply! Silver category guest can be wise, calming and talismanic - just make sure all the guests on the same table are ready to hear these words of wisdom

These days the wedding cake can cost typically from $1 00 to $6 00 per slice and can go up to $15 00 per slice At an average cost of $3 00 per slice for 200 guests that adds up to $600 00! That is why brides are looking for cost saving options

But why do wedding cakes cost so much? First, just the pans that the cakes are baked in are expensive They are larger and have to be top quality Then there is the ingredients You can not skimp on a top quality cake Top-of-the-line butter, eggs, cake flower, and whipping cream is required Commercial food coloring is needed so you get the deep, rich colors that you are looking for Then of course, not only does it have to taste good, but it has to look even better It takes a lot of time and practice to learn how to make all of those decorations and to not only make them look great, but they have to taste great too

It is very popular for couples to have a seasonal wedding theme In fact, it is excellent to have a wedding in either summer or winter So, what are the difference between a summer and a winter wedding?

Summer Wedding

One of the most popular summer weddings is probably a beach wedding What is good about it is that you can have a wonderful outdoor event Since a beach themed is usually considered less formal, it suits perfectly couples who do not like a formal event

Another plus of a summer wedding, essentially a beach theme, is that it will be a lot cheaper than arranging that in traditional places such as a church and a hotel ballroom It will be good if you would like to save some money on your wedding

However, summer wedding is not without problems Since it will be quite hot in summer, things like excessive sunlight and high temperature may make your guests feel uncomfortable The weather is always the enemy of outdoor events You have to think about what you will do if it rains heavily on your big day If you are having in on a beach, the breeze may take the sand on the beach on your food and this will certainly pollute your food You have to take extra care on such issues

Winter Wedding

A winter wedding is certainly a romantic one It can be very unique and beautiful You may even have your wedding together with a Christmas party This will make the event even more memorable! Of course you will probably choose not to have an outdoor wedding if you are planning to host it in winter This is just because it will be too cold to have an outdoor event

One of the advantages of a winter wedding is that winter is traditionally not a peak season for wedding As a result you may be able to get your catering services and photographer a lot easier since their schedules are not as tight as that in the peak season Sometimes they may even offer you discounts for being not ordering the services in peak season To this end you will be able to save money on your big day

Yet the problem of a winter wedding is that some of your guests may not be able to join or come to your event It is because Christmas is a peak season for travel Most people will leave the country As a result, you will need to inform your guests a lot earlier to make sure that they will reserve the time for your big day

As mentioned, both a winter and summer wedding has its pros and cons However, you can always make a perfect one if you can let your imagination fly

Victorian wedding gowns are enormously popular with brides having a traditional wedding because of the classic styling of the gowns For many individuals, when they image a wedding dress in their mind, they picture Victorian wedding gowns because that is the style most closely linked with a traditional wedding

The Beauty Of Renaissance Wedding Gowns

Renaissance wedding gowns have a distinguishing look that sets them apart from other styles of wedding dresses Many look like they have come straight from the courts of King Arthur or were worn by Juliette while Romeo wooed her Even though there are many different styles of renaissance wedding gowns, a few of the elements normally stay the same

These gowns are usually white or white combined with cream colored elements and are comprised of an under-dress with an over-drape The sleeves of the gowns are flowing, flattering tighter as they get closer to the wrist The bodice is typically tight and beaded in intricate designs Wearing one of these gowns can make any bride feel resembling a princess
