Where Brides Go (TM) - Everything for your wedding!

The look and feel of the wedding decorations that you use are generally influenced by the theme that you have chosen. You can literally name the theme of your wedding, like " A Night in Paris" and decorate everything with a romantic, French flair. On the other hand, the theme can be a more generalized "idea" and pull influence from a color scheme or activity that you enjoy as a couple.  You don't have to name the theme, but there will be something universal throughout your wedding planning that will influence the look and feel of your celebration. Here are a few wonderful ideas from WhereBridesGo.com that might get your creative juices flowing.   Garden This brings to mind a wedding ceremony surrounded by a garden full of beautiful blooms, lots of rose petals everywhere, and aromatic scents. If you have your wedding in an actual garden, very little decoration will be required because nature will provide it for you.  Rustic Western-style rustic wed...

A marriage is the joining of two individuals into one married couple. Many brides and grooms choose to illustrate by having a wedding unity ceremony . There are many different ways to do this. Here are five of WhereBridesGo.com 's favorites.  Unity Candle Ceremony For this ceremony, a large candle and two taper candles are used. The mothers of the bride and groom each light a separate taper candle before taking their seats for the wedding. The bride and groom then use these to light the big candle together, symbolizing the joining of their two families. Rose Unity Ceremony In this case, three vases are placed at the front of the ceremony venue. The bride's and groom's families are each assigned a rose color. Each mother places a rose in their vase for each immediate family member, including the bride and groom. You may want to add a personalized ribbon to the couple's flowers. When it is time during the ceremony, the couple each take their family's bun...

A very popular wedding trend that we have seen done beautifully at WhereBridesGo.com is the sparkler exit. They are romantic, exciting, fun, and produce gorgeous photo opportunities. If this is something you would like to add into your wedding planning , there are a few precautions you will want to take to make sure it goes smoothly and there are no accidents.

If a sparkler exit is one of your "must-haves", make sure this question in on your list when you are choosing a venue.  Give Yourself Some Space Once your reception venue gives you the thumbs up, look around to make sure there is a go...
