Your Wedding Personality: Four Tips for the Future CEO Bride

Posted on April 27, 2014November 30, 2015 by Peloponnesus

Do you:

Live and die by your planner and smartphone?
Constantly find yourself short on time thanks to a crazy busy work schedule?
Strive for perfection?
Then it sounds like you’re a future CEO bride. If you’re short on time (and possibly dough), here are some ways to keep it classy enough to impress your co-worker attendees and fun and fabulous for your family.

1. Pinstripe Your Cake.
The pinstripe gives a nod to your favorite power suit while looking oh-so-delicious. These thin, delicate lines add a touch of glamour and class to your wedding cake. Colors can be in business-approved navy or black or you can branch out with a surprisingly bold color. Pinstripes don’t have to be just on your cake. Try it with invites, wedding programs and menus.

2. There’s an App for That
Yep, that’s right. You can make your own app for your wedding. Whatever your smartphone, browse your app store for customized wedding apps. From there, you can create an app that also publishes a wedding website for your friends and guests (who probably use their phones just as much as you do). Many wedding apps are on the market, and creating takes three easy steps: choose a design, make it your own and invite your guests. This is especially helpful if you are having a destination wedding and need to coordinate lots of details, such as travel arrangements, for your guests. The app can be an efficient, effective way to get a single message out to lots of people at one time, and you can even use it post-wedding to display pictures and thank guests.

3. Get Caffeinated
There are few things that go together better than business and coffee. If you’re getting married and want to share a favor that you love and that your guests will use, consider gifts related to your favorite brews, including blends from your favorite coffee house to customized mugs.

4. Create a Wedding Brand
In companies, name recognition is achieved through branding. Who can forget the Nike swoosh or the golden arches? To make your wedding just as unforgettable as these icons, why not create your own wedding brand? This means picking a logo and theme colors and carrying it through to your fab invites, ceremony décor, wedding programs and favor bags.
The key for branding is consistency and inspiration. Examples include choosing a motif. From a sun to a decorative heart to a Greek key, symbols can call to mind you and your honey’s relationship and look pretty darn good on your invites. Another way to brand is through initials. If you’re taking his name, you’re creating a new monogram. If it’s a strong initial like a Q or Z, let the single letter make a statement.

Wedding Planning And Its Details – Lean The First Steps Of Your Wedding

Posted on March 11, 2014November 30, 2015 by Peloponnesus

Wedding planning involves much more than just picking a venue and buying a dress. You also need to take the time to choose proper invitations, choose a theme for your wedding and find the perfect décor for the tables at your wedding reception.

The first step in setting all these details in stone is to choose your wedding theme. While you may not feel like you want or need a theme for your wedding, but it will make planning easier. When you have a wedding theme in mind it gives you a place to start when choosing invitations, décor and more.

If you choose to have a very formal or particularly romantic wedding, using silk favor boxes and wedding invitation boxes is one way to add some more elegance to your special day. Silk wedding fans in your chosen colors can make for great favors to give to your guests. These favors can even be personalized for each guest if you want to go all out. Providing silk flower petals for your flower girl can also be a nice touch for a formal wedding.

Your guest book can also be covered in silk if you choose. This makes for an elegant souvenir that will make your special day that much more unique. In addition, silk bridesmaids’ dresses are designed to make your bridal party look as elegant as possible.
To preserve all the special memories of your wedding day having your photos and other memorabilia kept in a silk covered photo album can be a great idea as well.

Many couples choose a more casual theme for their wedding and this calls for more casual décor, invitations and more. For example, if you choose to have a beach wedding you may want to choose décor that reflects that theme. This can include coral reef place card holders, bamboo coasters as wedding favors and seashell tea light holders for the tables at your wedding reception.

No matter what kind of wedding you choose, you will want to make sure everything is carefully coordinated. No matter what your wedding theme is every aspect of your wedding should be tied to that theme, from the décor to the favors to the wedding invitations and everything else that goes into planning your wedding.

It Can Be Tough When You Make a Mistake With Your Wedding Invitations

Posted on February 12, 2014November 30, 2015 by Peloponnesus

As you slave over your wedding invitations, making sure that they perfectly reflect the beauty of your relationship, you need to be aware that unexpected mistakes are always possible. A miscalculation can upset every effect that you plan to see your invitations to create.

Don’t make any well-known wedding invitation faux pas

The world of social rules and observances can be complex. Yet, when you make mistakes, practically everyone can sit up and take notice. Make sure that you look up on the Internet what kinds of embarrassing mistakes others report having made with their wedding invitations. Here are a couple of examples.

It can be a difficult mistake to overcome when you place your registry cards in your invitation envelopes in such a way that your invitees see those cards first when they open their envelopes. This can make it look like you are really interested in your gift.
Sometimes, there are so many individual pieces to include in an invitation envelope that you can forget to include an RSVP card or something else.
Make sure there are no planned detours in the area
When others have inconveniently timed plans around your wedding venue, it can ruin everything. What if there is a planned parade or protest in the area around your wedding venue or perhaps a huge road construction block? Your guests could be sent on a detour and could lose their way. It’s always a good idea before you get any invitations printed, to ask the city if there are any planned events in the area.
Make sure to accommodate for your guests’ mistakes
Many guests simply don’t think that they need to write their names on their reply cards. The bride receives her reply cards but has no idea who sent them. A good way to plan for this problem would be to develop a code list of your own before you send your invitations out. You assign each invitee a number and write the number out in small print on each reply card. When a card comes back blank, you can just turn it over, look at the number and know who sent it.

Don’t turn to the computer any more than necessary

People often use computer-printed address labels for their wedding invitations. Unfortunately, computer-printed address labels often look completely out of place on a beautifully made wedding invitation. It’s always a better idea to send out invitations with simple handwritten addresses. It’s important, though, to not bring in any calligraphy when you write out addresses. These are harder to decipher and can result in your invitations not getting delivered.

Don’t forget to get the right amount of postage

It’s easy to simply make a guess about how much postage your invitations need. If you make a mistake here, though, you could end up with a delayed mail problem. Make sure that you have the right postage amount. Send an invitation to yourself. If it arrives properly, you can be certain.

Continuing with the silk theme one popular idea for wedding favors is a silk fan. Not only do these fans make a beautiful gift for guests they easily fold up small enough to fit in a silk gift box.

For those who want to give an edible favor but don’t or can’t bake, there are chocolate bars and kisses that can be customized for any wedding and these treats can easily fit into a silk wedding favor box as well.

For a wedding with an American Chinese feel to it couples should consider ordering customized fortune cookies. Each cookie can have a personal message from the couple to their guests as a whole or even to individual guests. These small treats can easily be tucked into a silk wedding favor box.

Couples that enjoy using them at home often include tea light candles among the favors they give their guests. These are items that can be purchased in bulk at a very reasonable price so they are perfect for couples who don’t want to go overboard but still want to give out nice wedding favors. Tea lights can be purchased in a number of different colors and are something most people can find a use for. Since the silk favor boxes themselves are fancy couples may want to balance that out by including a more down to earth and practical item for their guests.

There are countless wedding favor ideas that can fit into a silk favor box if couples are creative when it comes to choosing those items. Wedding favors should always reflect something special about the couple and/or their special day. While they should be something guests will like and appreciate they also need to be true to the interests, values or passions of the couple who are getting married. This can easily be accomplished with a little thought and a lot of care in choosing ideal favour.

Why Would a Bride Want to Wear Flip Flops, Anyway?

Posted on November 30, 2013November 30, 2015 by Peloponnesus

In a world driven by materialism, there will always be people who have something to say about what everyone else is wearing. At work, school, or out on the town, people are judging each other. It seems that it’s no different when it comes to bridal fashion choices. Perhaps this is to be expected because weddings are seen as very important occasions. However, the only people whose opinions should matter at a wedding are the bride and groom! Although some critics might not like it, there are plenty of great reasons that a bride might want to wear flip flops at her wedding, and she should be free to do so if she pleases.

Matrimony by the Sea
The most common reason that a bride might opt for wedding flip flops is that her wedding is taking place on the beach. Of course, beaches are the classic place for this kind of footwear. Not only do flip flops fit the theme of a seaside wedding, but they also provide a lot more stability and comfort than traditional heels. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wearing flip flops to a beach wedding, for the bride or for anyone else.

Enjoy the Reception in Comfort
While some might say that the beach is the only place that bridal flip flops are appropriate, there are plenty of reasons to disagree. Number one among these is comfort. There is truly no comparison between this kind of footwear and designer high heels. Whether a bride is trying to dance or simply walk down the aisle, she’s going to have an easier time in flip flops. Plus, her feet will thank her later.

Simple and Stylish
Some people think that style has to be traded away to get this kind of comfort. This is just not the case at all! While some people have to have the biggest names in designer fashions, others realize that a seemingly simple pair of bridal flip flops can be just as elegant. These don’t have to be the plain plastic flip flops that are found at stores like Old Navy. Instead, they can be lavishly adorned with flowers, beads, and anything else a bride might like. They are even easy to have custom-made by a local artisan or someone on a website like Etsy.com. What is more stylish than footwear that is truly one of a kind?

Save Money for More Important Things
Even completely customizing a bride’s wedding flip flops will cost less than a pair of designer shoes. By deciding to wear flip flops, a bride can be absolutely unique while saving money. Every bride should consider bridal flip flops as a comfortable, stylish, cost-saving option for her wedding day!

Posted on October 2, 2013November 30, 2015 by Peloponnesus

Luxury authentic Thai silk picture & photo frames for wholesale

The good news is that you can make your own silk photo frames and utilize them as a chic and custom wedding centerpiece, which will make the dinner tables in the wedding reception tailored for the bride and groom. You can design these silk picture frames to work well with the wedding flowers, the wedding date, and even the name of the soon-to-be spouses.

Things You’ll Need
– Gold gutta or silver
– Silk
– Silk paint
– Cardboard picture frames
– Paint brushes
– Tacky or fabric glue
– Scissors

What to Do
Gather all the materials in one table. To make this project easier, you can use some assistance from your bridesmaids or friends.

Take the back part of the pre-made cardboard picture frames. These frames are very affordable and can be purchased in different sizes at the nearest local craft store from your home.
Use the scissor and cut out the silk fabric in a rectangular shape a few inches wider and longer than the frame.
Place the frame face down on the fabric. You should then cut the middle part of the fabric where you can locate the middle of the frame opening.
Slit open small lines in every corner so you can crease the silk up and back to your frame.
Glue small beads around the opening on the rear of the frame. Cover the silk up and over the frame’s edges to cover the interior of the frame.
Repeat the same process on the exterior of the silk photo frames.
Allow the glue to dry out and work on the next cardboard frames.
When the glue has completely dried out, you should turn your silk color wedding frames over.
To add extra appeal, plunge your paint brush in silk paint and slightly tap it on your wrist over the picture frame to create swirls, splatters, and even elegant, colorful patterns. Remember though to not saturate the silk fabric, since this will wet and damage the cardboard.
You can then paint them dry and use them as wedding photo center pieces.
Don’t forget to use the copper, silver, or gold gutta to incorporate written and any other details to the silk fabric. You can outline flowers, the wedding date, the bride and the groom’s name, or words and phrases to them.
You can as well form polka dots, swirls, or merely highlight the silk paint dots and splatters. Ensure that the colored gutta completely dries out.
After all these steps, you can then reinsert the sheet or glass back into the frame. Add the photo and close them.

Conclusion
You can also order or silk photo frames in affordable prices online and send them as a memorable gift to a couple on their wedding day. Note that for several couples, it is almost impossible to have too many channels to display, showcase, and remember the wonderful moments of their wedding day.

Elegant Wedding Invitations For Your Special Day

Posted on September 4, 2013November 30, 2015 by Peloponnesus

Get it all right from the start with luxury wedding invitations in a box by NANGFA

Wedding Invitation Boxes — Luxury silk covered box for wedding invitation

Invitations can be one of the most expensive parts of your wedding preparation. If you are working within a limited budget or you aim to set aside a few hundred dollars, it would be beneficial to make your own. Personalized and handmade wedding invites are easy to make, and can be as elegant and unique as you desire. Here are some tips and tricks in making elegant wedding invitations.

The Right Font and Words
An elegant invitation begins with the most excellent font. Look for one that fits the theme and tone of your wedding. Employ a cursive and fancy font on a flowing brush script for a celebration in the afternoon or a formal wedding in a beautiful evening. Write the wording of your invitation. You can use a rhyme, a poem, or opt for clever sayings. Because you are crafting your own invitations, you don’t have to deal with limitations.

If you are having a hard time figuring out the right words for the invites, you can check free websites that recommend and offer pre-written wedding verses.

Once you’ve decided on the font as well as the wording, plan the layout of the words. You can place them either justified to the left or centered in the middle of the invitation. It all depends on what appears elegant to you.

Paper Layering
Choose the invitation paper based on your wedding colors, like pastel blue or a rich pick, together with an off white or cream. Utilize the colored paper to integrate nice texture to your invitation. Print your chosen words on the white paper, then glue a larger cut of the colored paper to the back to make a border.

To achieve an elegant look wedding invitation boxes, try attaching a sheet of vellum paper on the top of the invitation. You can fasten it by punching two holes in the top of the paper and add a silk ribbon to strap a neat bow. This small detail will assimilate elegance to your invitation.
Printing
Print your invitations using a word processing software program. Ensure that the paper size fits the size of the invites and then encode the verse in the font that you have selected. Don’t rush the printing. For best results, feed one paper at a time in your printer.

Make sure that the invitation envelopes are as elegant as the invitation itself. Address the envelopes using the same font used inside the invitation. If you would like to place some inserts like a reception card, response card, or place card, you can have them printed the same way you employed in the wedding invitations with matching font styles.

Decorations
Add decorative items. Pressed flowers, pre-made bows, or jewel embellishments make brilliant additions to unique wedding invitations. Place the ornamentation of your choice after you’ve printed the invitation. Remember though that the stylish font and the cardstock may be enough to make the invitation look very elegant without adding decorations and adornments.

Your Own Touch
If you’re about to have a beach wedding, you can still have elegant wedding invitations by using old-fashioned and high-class wax seal on the envelopes with you and your partner’s initials stamped in the center.

Silk Cosmetic Bags For The Luxurious Touch Of Femininity

Posted on August 8, 2013June 9, 2017 by Peloponnesus

Silk cosmetic bags, may they be embellished with flowers or other designs, furnish a touch of femininity that is excellent for long days of spring and summer or for special occasions. From bags that come with little designs and an indication of country charm to huge and dramatic oversize designs, the effect of silk material presents an amazing inspiration for silken cosmetic handbags.

Why Silk?
Many people find silk to be irresistible, whether it is used on shirts, sheets, or even scarves. The sound of 100% silk material, no doubt, has a lavish feel about it. While others think that this type of garment requires dry cleaning, the truth is, it is highly possible to care for silk even at home.

Wherever you are going – lunches, shopping, outings, early dinners, or other events, silk bags can house your cosmetics suitably. The good news is that you can virtually transform your silk material into a cosmetic bag.

In addition, you can make your casual tote or a cute clutch bag into an elegant cosmetic bag by simply placing one or more flower pins made from silk, giving the bag a whole new appealing look.<!–more–>

Silk Bag Designs
Silk handbags are normally available in the following designs:

– Bags made from silk emphasized with a blend of silk, leather, or straw flowers or a set of silk decorations
– Bags created to emulate a type of silk flower, which can be created in oversize or standard design
– Handbags made from silk flower petals that can be decorated with silk flowers as well
– Silk cosmetic bags with screened or printed designs

Even though many of the lower priced-versions of printed, accented, or oversize silk bag designs are marketed today, bags created from silk flower petals are frequently handmade and come with a more expensive price tag.

Silk Care
You should keep in mind that silk is a natural protein, thus, there are several products that must not be used on it. Bleach for example has the ability to take out the color of the silk fabric, so you should refrain from utilizing harsh detergents on silk.

These solutions can scoff the fabric resulting to holes and rips and can make the fabric thin. If you stained a 100% silk bag, the best way to eliminate such problem is to soak it in cool water. It’s vital though to perform this process before the mark sets in.

If you want to clean a silk scarf, blouse, or cosmetic bag that you’ve been using for a while, the most appropriate way to do is to hand wash the item using a mild detergent. This process permits you to clean the fabric without the stern tumbling and dipping of a washing machine. You can also try to use a mild non-alkaline soap that’s also efficient in cleaning 100% silk fabrics.

Cosmetic bags made from silk are a versatile and functional item to carry your personal belongings, safely and fabulously. However, silk cosmetic bags, just like other silk items, require a specific level of care to make certain a long wear life. This procedure can be accomplished from home provided that you follow the right cleaning process.
