How to Plan a Wedding Using the Internet and Social Media

With the plethora of tasks to be completed between the engagement and wedding day, a couple can use all of the help they can get.  Although there are some tasks that must be performed in person (cake tasting, venue inspection, etc.) a great deal of the wedding can be planned using the Internet and social media.

After the wedding date is selected, the next step in the planning process is often choosing a wedding color palette.  Click here for color palette ideas and web-based color palette tools.  Your color choices will impact flowers, decorations, bridesmaid dresses, linens, cake and invitations.   You can use the Internet to locate save the date cards that coordinate with your wedding style and colors.

Before mailing your save the dates, it's a good idea to create a wedding web site or blog.  The URL of your wedding web site can then be printed on your save the dates (or invitations, if you prefer).  Allowing guests to subscribe to your blog posts via RSS feed will keep everyone updated regarding all events associated with your wedding.  You could also create a special Twitter account or Facebook page and have blog posts automatically stream to these social media outlets.

The Highwayman for lunch

Today we had a little trip up to The lake District to meet one my lovely brides at her wedding venue up in Kendal, I'll tell you more about that tomorrow.

We had a great trip, the weather was perfect, lots of country lanes lined with daffodils, rolling hills and superb countryside complete with spring lambs.

On the way back we stopped at a fantastic pub for lunch The Highwayman, we enjoyed delicious local produce, beef from a local farm with perfectly cooked veggies and then the most stupendous Apple Pie ever eaten, light sweet pastry packed full with flavoursome apples, on the side a hunk of Lancashire cheese and jugs of Carnation Milk & proper custard.

All the staff were lovely and there was a really warm cosy atmosphere, with roaring fires, we weren't expecting a treat, we just needed feeding, but we had a great experiencee, I love it when your expectations are greatly exceeded.

These images are all taken on my new pocket size camera "Canon Ixus 85 IS"

Cheap Wedding Photography – Do You Dare?

As we all know, it’s hard to find an area where the effects of the recession aren’t being felt.    In an effort to help our readers weather the storm, we’ll share inspiring and innovative ways to pull off a spectacular wedding celebration with tightened purse strings.    

Fox News recently aired a segment that featured brides-to-be sharing their cost-cutting strategies.     One idea that really captured my attention involved cheap wedding photography.     It seems that more marrying couples are cutting their wedding photography budget by relying on wedding guests to capture the highlights of the wedding reception with disposable cameras.     Now, the concept of placing disposable cameras on reception tables isn’t new but whereas it was once viewed as a novel idea, couples find it’s a creative way to shrink the photographers’ bill.

What do you think?     Would this cost-saving method appeal to you?     Please share your comments below.

Want a Free Honeymoon? Here's How to Get It!

If you're looking for a way to cut the expenses of your honeymoon (or have a free honeymoon altogether) register your wedding with Traveler's Joy and let friends and family contribute to the cost of your dream honeymoon.

The registry allows gifters to contribute towards specific honeymoon experiences (i.e. a day of museums, a night at the opera, a fancy dinner, a charming hotel, snorkeling/hiking/fishing tour), or towards the cost of the entire honeymoon.

To spread the news, send Traveler's Joy email notices to friends and family telling them about your honeymoon registry.   Also, print out their custom invitation inserts to include in your wedding & shower invitations.   If you have a separate wedding home page, include a link to your Traveler's Joy registry page to make it easy for your guests to give a gift.

Best Ways to Save Money on Your Dream Wedding Dress

Are you trying to find an amazing wedding dress on a budget?   Here are the top 10 ways to find the dress of your dreams without breaking your wedding budget:

1. Visit The Bridal Garden in New York:   The Bridal Garden is a nonprofit resale bridal boutique benefiting children's charities.   They feature donated (through designers and bridal shops) couture, designer dresses at 30% to 75% off.   Be sure to schedule an appointment before travelling to New York.   Because the selection varies from day to day, it's a good idea to visit the shop if you're already planning to visit New York.
   
   
2. Support Brides Against Breast Cancer:   On their web site, you’ll find ideas for having a Pink Envelope Bridal Shower (or reception) and the dates of their Nationwide Tour of Gowns.   At the gown events, brides can buy designer bridal gowns at huge discounts.   Most gown prices range from $99 to $799, including hundreds of beautiful new designer gowns valued up to $8,000.   Exclusive designer and couture gowns valued up to $20,000 are also available at an incredible 25% to 75% savings.   Over half of these gowns are donated by the designers.   The proceeds from gown sales are used to grant the wishes of terminally ill cancer patients.
   
   
3. Buy a pre-owned wedding dress:    Online sites such as PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com and Wore It Once connect buyers and sellers of used wedding dresses.   Before purchasing, make sure you have viewed photos of the actual dress you'll be purchasing and that the photos show all sides of the dress.
   
   
4. Plan to sell your wedding dress after the Big Day:   Many brides have begun to sell their wedding gowns after the wedding day.   Visit sites like those mentioned in Item #3 or auction sites to arrange the sell of your wedding dress and recoup some of the original cost.
   
   
5. Search on auction sites for wedding dresses.
   
   
6. Have a copycat made:    If your budget doesn't allow for an original couture wedding dress, show a photo to a skilled seamstress to see if the dress can be replicated.
   
   
7. Wear a family heirloom dress:   If a female relative has a wedding dress that you've admired, ask if you can wear it.    The relative may be okay with you adding embellishments to make it truly special.
   
   
8. Check out sample sales:   While you're in New York visiting The Bridal Garden, check out Kleinfeld Bridal, a leading bridal shop.    Kleinfeld's regularly holds sample sales.    Ask bridal shops in your local area if they hold sample sales.    Ask to be added to their mailing list.
   
   
9. Buy your wedding dress online:    Online stores such as Macy's, Nordstrom, J. Crew and Dillard's sell gorgeous wedding dresses often for less than $300.
   
   
10. Buy a non-wedding gown:   Look for a beautiful white or off-white formal gown that isn't labelled as a wedding dress.   Check out non-bridal formal dress shops.
