One of the most sacred and special occasions for Indian women is their wedding. The fashion in India for women for a traditional wedding is sarees which are not only worn by the bride but by the majority of her female guests as well. Sarees are still very popular among Indian women today. They are not only worn for weddings but for any other special occasion. You may no longer find Indian women who wear sarees on a daily basis or in the home but sarees are definitely the wear for special occasions.

Wedding Sarees are given a lot of importance and come in many different fabrics as well as designs but no matter the fabric or the design, they always have an elegant and luxurious look. Wedding sarees normally have a lot of embroidery and trappings on them.

The best part about getting married is all of the parties that you get to enjoy. A new bride often has an engagement party, a bridal shower, a stagette and then the actual wedding - which is a huge party in and of itself. Here are a few tips to keep your wits about you (and keep your waistline intact) while enjoying all of the festivities.

A great bachelorette party doesn't need to mean that the bride won't soon fit into her wedding dress. Plan an activity that includes fitness. A theme party, including hen party sashes is always a popular idea. Many bridesmaids opt for a night out on the town, which inevitably includes dancing (which is a great way to burn calories). As the majority of bachelorette parties include the consumption of high calorie alcoholic drinks (which can lead to weight gain and bloating), be sure to plan the party for several weeks before the wedding day.

Parties don't need to revolve around a meal table. In fact, a bridal shower is a great time to play games and gossip with girlfriends. While finger foods are often circulated, they can include vegetables, fruits and healthy options. Keeping the bride busy enough so she isn't tempted to hover around the food table is prudent. Bring out the limbo stick and some upbeat music to keep everyone moving. (more...)

Traditionally the centrepiece of a wedding reception has long been the wedding cake, a large multi-layerered cake with white icing built up on tiers supported by columns and decorated with hearts and flowers, and perhaps a diminitutive bride and groom on the top made out of sugar candy. Many people see nothing wrong with that of course and it is symbolic of purity, truth, and beauty.

Times change, though, and some modern brides have sought to find something that is more modern in concept, and it is true also that the old fashioned fruit and marzipan cake may not actually appeal to everyone. The cupcake wedding cake is the current fashionable answer. Instead of one large cake you have an assortment of themed cupcakes sufficient for all your guests, together, if you wish, with one larger cake that is used for the traditional cutting ceremony, symbolic of the first steps in married life together that is accompanied by a toast to bride and groom. The cupcakes can be made to order by a good supplier such as LouLous bakery which is based in Wales but has an excellent website.

The advantages of the cupcake idea for a wedding cake are several. You are not restricted to the typical fruit cake but can have a lighter type of sponge or cupcake mix that appeals to virtually everybody. You can more easily tailor your cake requirements to the number of guests at the reception, and you avoid the need to cut up a large cake into many pieces which often results in pieces of different sizes, and some slices of cake crumbling and looking somewhat less than perfect. With an assortment of cupcakes guests can choose their own or they can be easily and quickly distributed by someone just before the cake cutting part of the proceedings. (more...)

Your wedding will be unforgettable for you, but make your reception unforgettable for your guests. The reception is the biggest party you ever throw - with live music, great food, dancing and drinks - make sure you don't skimp on the details.

The venue is just as important as some of the finer details. Picking one of the exclusive wedding venues at The Manor Somerset can make all of the difference in you and your guests' enjoyment. The size, location and decor of your chosen venue are all important factors. Be sure to select a venue that can fit all of your guests, has a good-sized dance floor, allows you to serve your own drinks (so you don't have to pay for their bartender, which can be pricey) and is close enough to town so that your guests don't have to travel too far. The further away your venue, the less guests you will have.

Your choice of music is important. You can either go with a live band or a deejay. A live band will be more expensive of course but they can really get your guests grooving! On the other hand, you can give a deejay and extensive song list and enjoy hours of your favorite music. Whomever you choose, make sure you go with a reputable group that won't bail on you last minute. (more...)

OK, so you're getting married, the venue is booked, and the invitations have gone out. One of the remaining important decisions to be made concerns the photographer.

Wedding photography Is a specialized field and it is no good just relying on a friend or relative to take a few pictures on the special day or you will be disappointed. Even professionals can vary quite a bit with regards to expertise and experience so it is worth taking some time to check them out properly rather than just settling for the first one you see advertised. Although it is possible nowadays to clean up a digital photo and get rid of a tree sticking out the side of the groom’s head, for example, it is not ideal. You really want some nicely composed group pictures and of course close-ups of the bride and groom, preferably shot in a spontaneous and creative way.

If you live in London you have a tremendously wide choice of venues for the reception, from grand hotels and historic buildings, to perhaps a small cruiser that can be hired on the Thames. Any of these can make a fabulous backdrop to some unique wedding photos that you will treasure forever. Some people apparently opt for cine or video coverage for a wedding and that does enable you to relive the whole experience, but still, nothing can really take the place of some excellent still shots that just capture the moment.
