Traditional Religion With a Modern Flair Dec 20, 11
Every culture celebrates their wedding differently; every culture has specific traditions they honor in ceremonies to preserve their family's values throughout each generation. At a Bermuda wedding the couple often has a little sapling tree on top of their wedding cake. After the cake is eaten, the sapling is planted at the newlywed's new home, where it grows and matures along with the couple's marriage. In Czechoslovakia, instead of rice the reception line tosses peas at the new couple as they depart the church. It symbolizes health and happiness into greener pastures. In German history, a common wedding tradition done after the wedding ceremony was having the newlywed couple work together to saw a log in half. How neatly and quickly they did it was supposed to predict how they would work together as a couple. Needless to say, there is an eclectic variety of cultures; however, it is important to incorporate and honor tradition in our modern world. Michelle Moll, at Watercooler Weddings & Events, recently had a wedding that was an amalgamation of Iranian glamour, vintage romanticism and traditional religion all rolled up into a sophisticated package.

Tuesday Tip: An Eco Friendly Wedding Oct 18, 11
With the resurgence of the "green" movement being evident in most areas of our life: emissions, interior design, fashion design, electricity, electronics, food production, water conservation and paper consumption, it has now trickled down to weddings. Of course, when one thinks of an environmentally friendly wedding, they may think it will hinder their ability to have a glamorous and bountiful affair. By changing little things from recycled stationary Save-The-Dates to having a wedding outdoors (to save on electricity), there are many ways a wedding can be a little greener without having to compromise its entire aesthetic.

Real Wedding Story: Regal and Amorous Love Oct 05, 11
Royal purple and green are two colors that can make an event seem regal and naturistic at the same time. Royal purples and deep greens have been known to be used in royal courtship and, in interior design, have been known to make a room seem more majestic. In complete contrast, these two colors, when used in florals can give off a serene, environmental and organic feel. With florals by Signature Productions, Christine and Brandon's wedding at La Buena Vida Vineyards (in Spanish means "The Good Life" Vineyards) highlighted the deep purples and burgandies naturally found in wine, which metaphorically can also symbolize the amorous, all encompassing love they have for one another. Imagery was provided by Phase 3 Photography. Shenanigans Weddings & Events, their event planner, discusses the beauty of this wedding after the cut.
