When considering your wedding photo albums, the first thing that you need to do is to look online at a wedding stationers and see what designs are available. If you are lucky, there will be matching designs available which will go with your other wedding stationery, such as the invitations. If the place where you bought your invites doesn’t have matching wedding photo albums, don’t worry, and take it as an opportunity to go for a different design which you totally adore.
Also, don’t be afraid of getting several wedding photo albums in different designs – but try and stick to a theme. For example, if you are going for a tulip-themed event, pick several designs which include tulips in the photos. If you are having a beach wedding, purchase designs which have different beach images depicted on them.
Your wedding photo albums are just one part of your wedding day, so don’t stress too much over the little details! There are much bigger things to spend your time thinking about: the dress, the shoes, the reception, the bridesmaids….
As we move into 2012 as look forward to The Queen’s Jubilee and another additional bank holiday, we must have a little moment to remember last year’s big event and the fabulous Royal Wedding.
Billions of people around the world all tuned in to watch Catehring Middleton marry Prince William. We may not know all of the finer details such as what the exact wedding table plans looked like, or the brand of Miss Middleton’s underwear, but we do know everything else about that wonderful day this past Summer…
Who could forget that cake? It was made up of seventeen (yes, seventeen!) individual fruit cakes and comprised eight tiers of culinary cake heaven. Thousands of plants and trees were brought into Westminster Abbey to give the old building a feel of being in an English country garden. The bouquet itself was very simple in its design – a round arrangement of Sweet William (ahh) with myrtle – dating back to a tradition which began with Queen Victoria.
You can have a taste of the Royal Wedding for your own by using sugar flowers on your cake and an English Garden-inspired theme for your flowers. Why not go the whole hog and hire a horse and carriage? You may not have the wedding table plans to match the Royals but you can certainly have a little taste of Wills and Kate for your big day.
If you are a newly-engaged woman, it can be difficult to know where to begin with your wedding plans. here’s our little guide to planning for your wedding day:
Start with a budget. It is important at the outset to decide on what you can afford and what you are willing to spend on your wedding day. Take everything into account such as venue, rings, dress, flowers, accessories, food, music, and all of your stationery from invitations through to wedding photo albums – even the honeymoon if you are paying for it yourself.
Next, you should list your priorities from your budget list, deciding what is more important to you. Everyone is different – for some, the venue has to be grand and luxurious (which comes at a price) and for others they are quite happy to settle for a smaller venue but their stationery has the be just right. Don’t underestimate the little details such as wedding favours, wedding photo albums and accessories.
Once you have worked out how much you want to spend and what you want to spend it on, you can juggle the figures about as you go along – some things might be cheaper than you anticipate, whilst others may be a little pricier. Keep an open mind but really try to stick to your budget – it will serve you well!
