Yet no matter how progressive you and your families may be, the peaceful merging of two religions can prove an ambitious undertaking.

Wedding Invitations & Stationery - Include Travel Info. on Save-The-Dates?
2007-07-18 15:47:00
Q: My mother is suggesting that I include all of the hotel information for out-of-town guests in the save-the-date/announcement card. Is this common or can it simply be a part of the invitation?- Jamile -A: It is best to provide your out-of-town guests with travel and lodging information prior to sending your invitations, since they don't go out until 6-8 weeks before the wedding. The earlier your guests can begin planning their travel arrangement, the easier it will be for them to attend your wedding.You have a few options:1) You can include lodging information with the save-the-date, - either printed directly on the card or on an insert.2) You can create a wedding website that includes travel/lodging information - and include a link to the website with the save the date.3) You can also send a separate mailing - in between the save-the-dates and invitations - that includes detailed information about your wedding, such as travel, lodging, things-to-do, weekend itinerary, etc. This doe ...

2007-07-17 08:23:00
Q: I'm a bride on a budget; what are some inexpensive wedding flowers?- Heather -A: Although individual flower prices vary depending on location, season and your individual florist, certain blooms tend to be more moderately priced than others. These are: Orange Blossoms, Lavender, Daffodil, Daisies, Chrysanthemum, Carnations, Roses (due to huge variance in kind, quality, and color) and Greenery – such as ivy. On the other hand, flowers that tend to be expensive are: Lily of the Valley, Calla Lily, Orchids, Magnolias, Peonies, Gardenia and Hydrangea.Regardless, in-season flowers are often less expensive and easier to find. You can find a list of common flowers for each season at the Elegala.com seasonal flower guide. As always, you can ask your florist to review your options with you and determine which specific blooms will fit into your budget.-Cori Russell - Style and Etiquette EditorWedding Planning Advice From Industry Insiders ...

Wedding Invitations - Going Digital?
2007-07-11 08:11:00
Q: Instead of sending traditional paper save-the-date cards, I want to send a classy contemporary digital invitation - perhaps a flash email or a link to an online invitation informing guests of our coming wedding date. Is this acceptable, and if so, how can I go about doing this?- Suliat -A: Inspired by the YouTube generations, digital "webitations" and save-the-dates have made a debut. Videographers can create customized DVDs to accompany paper invites or stand alone as digital invitations. Couples can then upload the video online or send via email, and guests can share and replay at any time.How it Works: You meet with your videographer to discuss style, inclusions (wedding party photos, hotel recs.), and the paper suite for the invitation package. He or she then tapes your story in an informal interview. You’ll receive the finished DVDs and invitation packages plus web access for online video sharing.What it Costs: Prices vary, but expect to pay between $500-$1500 for production ...

2007-06-29 08:56:00
Q: My fiancé and I would love to get married at an exotic location but were wondering what sorts of costs are involved? Are destination weddings usually more expensive than having one close to home? ~Mary S., Dover, NH A: Destination wedding are always economical for a number of different reasons, but the main reason is because you have control over every aspect of it, from the location to your guest list.

Bridal Party - When the Best Man's a She Instead of a He?
2007-06-21 14:16:00
Q: My fiance wants to have his sister as his "best man." As much as I hate the idea, I know it's becoming popular. My question is, how should she dress? Like my bridesmaids or like the other groomsmen?-Stacy - Washington, DC-A: Etiquette is still evolving around this new twist in gender roles, but whatever you do, please don't put her in a tuxedo. And give her a corsage, not a boutonniere. The idea here is to give your future sister-in-law an honored part of the ceremony, not to pass her off as a guy, no matter which side of the aisle she stands on. General rule: The groom's female honor attendant can wear a gown similar to your bridesmaids' dresses or a pantsuit of the same color.-Cori Russell - Style and Etiquette Editor, Wedding Expert -For more etiquette advice, visit the Elegala.com Wedding Etiquette GuideWedding Planning Advice From Industry Insiders ...
