Wedding Favor Bags Can Make Any Favor Compliment Your Decor

Posted on by

Wedding favor bags are the perfect way to tie any wedding favor you select into your wedding theme decor. Maybe the favor you selected does not match or compliment the colors of the event. Perhaps the favor doesn’t come with any kind of packaging to present to your guests. By opting to use a wedding favor bag you can harmoniously have your favor blend right in to the decor.

Wedding favor bags come in a variety of styles. If you would like to still see you favor but have it in an elegant bag chose an organza bag. Organza wedding favor bags come in sheer colors. They add just a touch of color and still let your wedding favors shine through.

Celebrate Your Union With A Sand Ceremony

Posted on by

I wrote about unity ceremonies not long ago. But I didn’t really cover all of the options available with a sand ceremony. When you chose to celebrate your union as husband and wife by performing a sand unity ceremony you will have a lasting memento afterward to cherish for years to come.

Each person will have a different color sand to represent them in the union. You can choose colors that compliment your wedding theme and style or go with something simple and traditional as black and white. The sand is stored in individual vases and poured together into a single larger vase to represent the union.

The vases or vessels you chose come in different shapes and sizes. I saw beautiful unity sand ceremony set that had heart shaped vases to hold all of the sand and I knew that would be the set I would want for myself. There were also wavy type shapes of vases that hold the sand. It really all depends on your style and what you are looking for. They can also be etched or engraved with the bride and groom’s names or initials. Having a personalized vase will really make it stand out when you display it in your home in the years to come.

The Tradition of Wedding Garters

Posted on by

Wedding garters are an ancient wedding tradition that many brides and grooms love to celebrate at their wedding reception. The idea behind the wedding garter is that it is believed to be good luck to receive a piece of the wedding attire. In order not to ruin the bride’s dress they started wearing wedding garters.

In some families the wedding garters are passed down and have special sentimental value. A great way not to lose this special keepsake is to have a wedding garter set. The bride can wear two wedding garters, one to keep and one to toss to the eligible bachelors. This way she still has something to keep and cherish and the bachelors still get a piece of something to bring them good luck.

Some brides also use wedding garters as a way to incorporate the tradition of something blue into their attire. This works wonderfully for them especially if blue is not one of the colors they have chosen to display. No one will see the wedding garter and she will still be wearing the blue in keeping with tradition. There are many options to chose from for you special wedding garters. I recommend considering a matching with two garters to have one to keep and one to toss.

Iphone Screen Shattered To Bits and Pieces

Posted on by

I dropped my Iphone this morning and my screen shattered. I’ve dropped it plenty of times in the past but I really did it to it this time. Poor thing never stood a chance with me as it’s owner. I even got a protective case for it but apparently ti doesn’t protect the phone from someone who really beats their phone up.

I dropped it awhile ago and it put a teeny tiny little chip in the screen. It was hardly noticeable but I knew it was there and would only occasionally feel it as I would draw my finger tip across the screen. Well, once that little chip or crack was in there, all it took was another big fall to send the screen into bits and pieces or as I like to say smithereens.

The phone still works sort of but I don’t want to put it anywhere near my face or really even touch it. I’m worried it is going to cost me about $150 to repair the screen on it. Maybe I can buy some kind of self repair kit and do it myself for a fraction of the cost. I don’t want to void the warranty though so I’ll wait to see what they tell me it will be and decide from there.
