Halloween is over… it’s November… and the theme is all about Thanksgiving!    Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, food and happiness.  Those same things come to mind when planning a wedding, so why not plan a Thanksgiving wedding?  It may be too late to put the together for this year, but it’s definitely not too early to start planning for next year.  A beautifully decorated reception room like this one from Wedding Woo show how elegant a Thanksgiving theme can be.

Obviously Thanksgiving has a lot to do with the food!  Incorporating Thanksgiving food into your wedding can make for a unique an delicious menu!  A Carving Station is an obvious choice, and you might also consider having a Soup Bar.  And what Thanksgiving wedding would be complete without a pumpkin flavored cake like this one from Konditor Meister.

There are some distinct advantages to having a Thanksgiving wedding:

• Most people have a  four-day weekend at Thanksgiving which allows needed travel time for those coming from a distance to celebrate with you.
• It’s a family time of the year!  A wedding and Thanksgiving make a great excuse for everyone to be together!
• Your wedding will be unique!

We’d love to hear some of your Thanksgiving Wedding Ideas!

Think about all the things that are involved in planning a wedding. Where do you start? Well how about with the basics. Where are you going to have your wedding reception? Upon making this decision, a whole slew of additional questions will need to be answered. Let’s look at some considerations.

Will you have an indoor or an outdoor wedding reception? How many people do you intend to invite? Will you have a buffet or a sit down meal? Will your sit down meal be individual plates or will the meal be served family style? Will you give your guests choices for individual meals? The answers to all these questions will be determined by the the type of atmosphere you want and the venue setting. Do you want the reception to overlook water, a great skyline or a beasutiful golf course? Most important is that your choices may be dependant upon your budget!

You’ll want to visit many venues before making a final decision. Weddingtreasurechest.com is committed to helping you find solutions. While we are not a wedding venue for your consideration, we recommend checking out the following links.

Let weddingtreasurechest.com assist you in finding the pefect clothing for your wedding and honeymoon

There are SO many designers of wedding dresses out there! How in the world do you choose? I, for one, think that several factors come into play here. You must begin by figuring out what style you want; do you want long sleeves, short sleeves, tank top or a sleeveless gown? The time of year you’re getting married may or may not have an impact on this decision. The same holds true for the location of your wedding. Cost is a factor for many brides. Since dresses can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, you’ll probably want to set a budget for it. Discontinued dresses at bridal shops are often great buys!

Once you’ve found the dress of your dreams, you still need to outfit the wedding party. Again, there are lots of choices and many decisions to be made. The going away outfit, (if you’re leaving for your honeymoon directly from the wedding reception), and the clothes you’ll pack for your honeymoon are also a consideration. Weddingtreasurechest.com is committed to helping you find solutions. While we do not provide clothing, we recommend checking out the following links.

At weddingtreasurechest.com, we strive to help make your special day as wonderful as possible!

The next few posts are going to be plain and simple. There are certain things you need to have and need to do right to make your wedding day as special and as wondeful as it can be! One of these things is good photography and/or good videography. Some people capture the beauty of the day in still life with photography. Others prefer to have a live version with videopgraphy to “re-live” the day from time to time. Still others prefer to have both because they often compliment each other.

Whatever your preference is, you’re sure to love the results. But where do you begin this important process? A good idea would be to start with checking out the different flairs each option offers. Look at friends’ wedding albums and videos and check things out on line too so you get a feel for what you like and what you don’t like!

After the wedding reception ends, the marriage takes over. Always make the most of it!

What makes an ocean wave wave? What makes a marriage successful? These two questions have totally different answers. One is scientific and one is not. The answer to the second question can be left up to interpretation, whereas the first question has a definitive answer that cannot be disputed.

I got married before a lot of my friends and as a result, have been asked this very question numerous times over the years. I’ve been happily, (and successfully), married for fifteen years and I can honestly say that my interpretation of a successful marriage has not really changed in that time. Sure some day to day things change and tweeking may be required from time to time, but my core beliefs have never changed.

Among the most important qualities  a successful marriage will possess are honesty, respect, trust and communication.

• If you are not being honest with your spouse or yourself, you are going to run into problems.
• If you do not respect your spouse as a person and recognize that he/she still needs to maintain individuality, you will never grow as a couple and your spouse will never live up to your expectations.
• If you do not trust your spouse, you let negative things like jealousy into the marriage. Jealousy is never good! Always trust your spouse unless you are given a reason not to.
• Communication is so important in any relationship, but particularly in marriage. I know so many couples that would’ve stayed together or who are still together but would be a lot happier if they would just talk to one another! Discussing life’s daily victories and defeats and communicationg goals, (personal, financial, etc.), really will make you a stronger couple! when the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, (or wants to do), you run the risk of marital disaster!

Of course there is more involved than this, but I believe this is a great starting point. Curve balls will probably crop up along the way, but if you’re working off of a good foundation, you’ll have a better chance of weathering marital storms! After the wedding reception and the honeymoon are over, it’s time to buckle in and hold on for a great ride! I’ll leave you with two last thoughts to ponder:

• Marrying the right person for you will go a long way in making a smooth transition into Mr. & Mrs. Marrying the wrong person, (even for the right reasons), is almost always detrimental!
• There is a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. Check your status from time to time!

Once the wedding reception ends, the real party begins. By this I mean the marriage. This is a party that takes a lot of planning and preparation to be successful. It is sometimes years in the making before you get it just the way you want it. Marriage is like an ocean wave; it ebbs and flows. It has its ups and downs. But for better or for worse, it’s really all about what you make of it!

You’ll spend months plus preparing for the wedding and the wedding reception to make it a successful event. Just make sure that before you say “I Do”, you’re prepared to put forth the same effort into making the marriage a successful event too! This is of great importance since this party is meant to last a life time and not just five hours like the wedding reception you’ve worked so hard t0 perfect.

Wedding accessories play an important part in wedding ceremony and wedding receptions

Almost every part of the wedding reception has meaning of some sort. This is why we purchase or borrow all the little things that represent a part of either the ceremony or the reception. These are the items of significance. These are the items that make your special day truly special through meaning and memory.

Sometimes there is religious meaning behind an item. For example, in an Orthodox wedding ceremony, the bride and groom are united with crowns made of flowers and are connected by a ribbon. While the couple does not get to keep the crowns, they will keep and find uses for other wedding accessories. Whatever the reason, some of the ”little things” may be of great importance to the heritage of the newlyweds and certainly to memories built around their special day!

Have you ever wondered why we watch some movies over and over? I think it’s because each time we watch a movie such as the classic The Godfather, we pick up something new that we didn’t catch the last time around. Whether it’s a classic movie or video footage of something personal, the same theory applies. Besides learning new information, we also love to watch ourselves and our loved ones captured on film doing whatever…

Having a professional viedographer at your wedding means that you can recapture your favorite wedding reception moments as often as your heart desires! Pictures may be worth 1000 words, but capture Aunt Clara doing the Macarena and you’ll be in for a wonderful treat, (just be careful when you fall off your chair laughing)! It also gives you the opportuninty to revisit wedding guests who may no longer be alive when you watch your wedding video each year on your anniversary. Be sure to save the video for your children and grandchildren to have as a keepsake. They’ll get a kick out of how much times have probably changed since you got married!

For a wedding video that you’ll treasure forever, I recommend MPD Video Productions. Not only do they provide superior quality workmanship, but the owners will enhance your wedding with their friendly demeanor and a genuine love of their career that shines through!

Make your wedding reception the best that it can be and a memory to treasure always

weddingtreausrechest.com has beautiful wedding accessories to complete your wedding day

There’s so much to do, to plan and to save for while you’re engaged. But we all have our favorite part of the wedding or the wedding reception that we put high on our priority list. Some people are inspired by the ambience of the venue while others are focused on the food that will be served. Some people focus on the value of great entertainment during the reception, (meaning the DJ or band), and yet others are all about the centerpiece on the tables.

So what’s your favorite part? Is it the wedding itself? Is it some aspect of the wedding reception? Or does it have something  to so with the members of the wedding party? Tell me your favorite part and why for a chance to win a beautiful set of wedding flutes from weddingtreasurechest.com. The winner will be contacted by email on April 18th.
