A sort of do-it-yourself cake topper

I found when ordering the letters for our initials for the top of our cake it cost a lot more to get the ones embellished with Swarovski crystals but I really liked the look of them. So off to Michaels I went to see what they had that might solve my problem and of course they an answer, they had individual swarovski crystals in many colors to fit any theme and with a little glue I had the letters I wanted.

It may have required a little craftiness on my part and a decision on pattern but in the end they got to look like I wanted and looked great! So when considering the letters as a cake topper, keep in mind you can order the plain ones and have them look just as great if not better than the much more costly embellished ones with a little work!

To the right is a picture of the letters that I decorated myself.

Wedding Favour Ideas - Personalized Wedding Couple Golf Balls

Personalized Wedding Couple Golf Balls
are a unique wedding favour for the guests of a golfing couple. Weddingfavours.ca specializes in Canadian wedding favours and offers personalized wedding golf balls.

Personalized golf balls can make for a cute gift to leave on the table for each guest at your reception. You could add in some personalized golf tees to the mix for a little added touch as well.

Something else you may want to consider is instead of having the traditional bachelor and bachelorette parties, you could get all your friends and family together for a golf tournament at your local course. As a gift to your guests, you could buy a bulk order of personalized golf balls and give one to each player.

Weddingfavours.ca has six different design choices to choose from. You can view them by clicking this link

A Great Way To Get Wedding Flower Ideas

Most flower shops have a day or two each year where they showcase their best wedding bouquets and centerpieces; so bring your camera this is a great day to get lots of ideas for styles and colors! These are ones you can touch and feel and ask questions in person to get a really god idea of what you would like for yourself.

In Regina the Wascana Flower Shoppe has theirs each year in March, call to ask the exact date, this is the best display I’ve seen as they do more modern work. I also know that Grower Direct has had their showcase at the end of January to check that one out as well.

For others in your area or for exact dates give the flower shops a call and ask if they have a wedding flower display and go check them out. They are a great option for getting ideas!

Picking The Right Flowers For Your Wedding

When picking the flowers you want it is important to ask your florist what flowers are in season and which are not. There would be nothing worse for you to find out after months of trying to decide on the perfect flowers that one was not available to you for your wedding. Also picking flowers in season can also save you money because of the ease of access to them at the time and as well as ensuring the quality.

I found a couple sites that had a fair amount of flowers listed and their seasons at http://weddings.about.com/od/weddingflowers/a/Season.htm or http://www.elegala.com/flowers-season.html. Asking your florist will give you more specific information pertaining to their availability and what they have access to.
