An Italian wedding idea
| |
An Italian wedding
is about as steeped in history and tradition as any wedding you
are likely to encounter. Even in contemporary times, when the
wedding is no longer arranged by the parents, you are likely to
encounter things like the dancing of the Tarantella; the
carrying of a satin purse for the purposes of collecting wedding
cards containing cash gifts; the gift to your wedding guests of
“confetti”, or multi-colored Jordan almonds; or even the
tradition where the bride dances with every man at the wedding
in exchange for money, which can be pinned to the wedding gown,
or collected by the bride’s Nonna (grandmother).
The one thing, however, you can almost always count on at a
traditional Italian wedding is the fabulous Italian cookies.
There are varying theories on the tradition of the cookies, but
the most common explanation for the tradition is that there was
a time when it was too expensive to create a large wedding cake
confection. Instead, family members of the bride and groom, from
their mothers and grandmothers to their aunts and cousins, would
all contribute a type of cookie. The cookies were then assembled
into the shape of a cake, and at the point of the wedding where
the cake would be cut, the bride and groom lead the entire group
of people in a “cookie dance”. They dance around the reception
area, with the crowd behind them, to the cookie table, where the
guests grab a cookie or two as they walk by. If you don’t
participate in the dance, you have to wait until the dance is
over, then make you way to the table for your cookies.
The one cookie you must have is really a twisted knot of dough,
symbolizing the tying together of two people, sprinkled
liberally with powdered sugar. You will also find pignoli, which
are pine nut cookies, and pizzelles, which are very thin waffle
shaped cookies. Other varieties will include ones filled with
preserves and figs, all traditional recipes from Italy.
If you choose not to do the cookie dance, a really lovely treat
for all of your guests is to give them each a bag with a thank
you note printed on them, and allow them to visit the cookie
table with their bag. Filling a bag with your delicious Italian
wedding cookies is a sweet reminder for your guests to take home
of your beautiful wedding day. |

Christmas Wedding Theme : in April In
Hawaii !!! ???
|
The bride wanted Christmas color in April on
Hawaii : You know the feelings that you always get at Christmas
time. There is magic and wonder in the air, and your heart is
filled with the warmth and love that the spirit of the season brings.
It is said so many times that it would be wonderful if we could keep the
spirit of Christmas in our hearts year round, and there is no better way
to do just that than to have a Christmas theme wedding, any time, any
place. But what if you want to get married in the tropics?
How do you have a Christmas themed wedding with a warm breeze blowing
and the bright sunshine blazing down on you?
To
start planning your Christmas themed tropical wedding, choose your
colors. Traditionally, Christmas means red, green, silver and
gold. There is no reason you can’t use those colors for your
tropical wedding. Chances are, you are going to be surrounded by
lush tropical greenery and beautiful green landscaping at your tropical
location, so you already have half of your color scheme in place.
To bring in touches of red, you can surround yourself with gorgeous red
roses, red hibiscus flowers, or any number of rich red tropical flowers.
Add touches of holiday colored fabric where you can – draped between or
over the chairs; on table linens; as curtains. Ask your caterer
for cranberry colored china and gold plated utensils. Carry the
Christmas colors throughout your entire affair.

Pirate Theme Wedding :
It’s time to set sail on the seas of matrimony, and you want to do it in
Pirate style! With the popularity of the pirate series of movies,
there is a lot available to pull of the pirate style wedding of your
dreams. Most party stores and other invitation outlets will have some good inspiration for unique wedding invitations. You can get actual message in a bottle style
invitations – some come complete with sand and sea shells! Print
your own pirate map type of invitations on parchment type paper from
your local office supply store, and take the time to lightly burn the
edges for an authentic pirate look. The post office will mail the
bottles as is, so there is no need for additional packaging.
You may have to find custom clothes makers to get an
authentic pirate look for your wedding party attire, but before you go
the custom route, check out your local Renaissance Faire or places
online that make dresses and costumes for Renaissance Faires. The
best part about this type of pirate “wench” dress is that it is
flattering to everyone, no matter what their shape or size. If you
want all of your bridesmaids to match, you must order them all at the
same time so they are made from cloth in the same dye lot. You can
have them wear different colors, but for the most part, the color palate
should be earth tones – browns, greens, maybe blue. The bride’s
gown can be traditional bridal white, but consult a custom dress shop
for your options. Again, most of the shops that create Renaissance
Faire costumes will be able to create a very authentic looking pirate
gown for you in beautiful, rich fabric befitting a pirate queen.

Music theme wedding ideas William
Shakespeare certainly understood the connection between music and
romance. Music is not only the food of love, but the perfect
accompaniment to its celebration.
The music you select to precede, underscore and follow your wedding
ceremony is perhaps the most immediate and effective way you can create
the mood or establish the tone for your event. The music you choose can,
depending on the formality of your wedding, be an additional means of
expressing your feelings for each other.
The first thing to do when thinking about
 the
music for your wedding is to speak to your officiator (priest, rabbi,
minister, etc.) and the person in charge of music at the site of the
ceremony. In the case of Christian or Jewish ceremonies, this will
likely be the organist or music director. Set up an appointment to
discuss your vision of the ceremony, the kind of atmosphere you'd like,
your musical taste and so on. And ask the musical director for her or
his suggestions
for music you might want to consider.

Gothic Subculture Weddings
A gothic wedding entirely goes against the traditional wedding. It is a
full respect shown to the dark movement it follows. Goth feels
themselves as free thinkers, unafraid to penetrate into subjects that
are labeled as taboo by most people. They practice dark magic, mysticism
and the darker side of life. The Gothic wedding truly represents their
love for this dark movement. It is a rejection of the traditional
wedding practices and the relationship that it represents. These dark
followers prefer to show their own way of defining relationships and
values of life.
