Honeymoon registries are a reasonably new thing in Australia, with many couples already living together before they tie the knot. Traditional bridal registries are somewhat useless for a lot of couples in this situation, because they already have their homes decked out with all the things they need. With this in mind, why not offer your guests the chance to contribute to your honeymoon?<br />It's so simple. Once you have <a href="http://travelregistry.com.au/SignUp.aspx">signed up for free</a>, they will build you a registry website that you can tell your guests about in your wedding invitations. You will get access to create an itemised, categorised honeymoon registry, in which you can include all aspects of your honeymoon, such as accommodation, flights, dinners, cocktails on the beach - whatever! Guests visit your registry website and they can elect to buy whichever gift(s) they like by sending you the money. They can pay you by cheque or bank transfer - these details will be provided to them when they choose which gift(s) to buy.</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534481352707936376.post-80887592256357387382009-06-15T08:13:00.003+10:002009-06-15T08:24:12.205+10:00CocktailsIf you are planning on catering your own wedding, try these yummy cocktails!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.taste.com.au/images/recipes/nb/2008/06/19853.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 364px; height: 242px;" src="http://www.taste.com.au/images/recipes/nb/2008/06/19853.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><h2 style="text-align: center;">Cosmopolitans</h2><br /><h3>Ingredients (serves 6)</h3> <ul><li>1 cup (250ml) Grand Marnier (or orange liqueur) </li><li>1/2 cup (125ml) chilled vodka </li><li>1 1/2 cups (375ml) chilled cranberry juice </li><li>1/4 cup (60ml) lime juice </li><li>Ice cubes, to serve </li><li>Lime wedges, to serve</li></ul> <div class="info"> <h3>Method</h3> <ol><li>Combine the Grand Marnier, vodka, cranberry juice and lime juice in a jug.

Start by picking your diamond shape. Then you can further refine your search by adjusting the sliders to set a range for price, carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. You can click "see results" at any point in the process to view all the diamonds that match your criteria.<br /><br />Once you've found and selected the diamond you want, you will move on to choose the setting. Here, you can narrow your choices to a particular style of setting or a specific metal type. The images will show you how your diamond will look mounted in the setting.<br /><br />After you've chosen the setting that appeals to you, all that remains is to select the ring size, and then-you're ready to order!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534481352707936376.post-46806299128643166272009-06-11T13:24:00.003+10:002009-06-11T13:36:00.841+10:00Black and White Damask Wedding<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blisstree.com/ouroneheart/files/2007/02/black-and-white-wedding-theme.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

While it's certainly eco-friendly, is it feasible? This means no microphones, speakers, lights. Here are a few ways to achieve this:<br /><br /></p><ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><li>Skip the lights. Hold your wedding outside in daylight. </li><li>Hire an acoustic band. Keep the guest list small and intimate so they can hear the music without speakers.</li><li>Although you have no control over how guests actually get to your wedding, have your ceremony and reception in the same place so that guests can walk between the events.</li><li>The biggest obstacle is food. It might be tricky (and it might elicit a few choice words from your serious meat eating cousin), but...it can be done! To serve food at a true zero-electricity wedding, think BIG salad bar. Vegetables, salads, pasta salads, breads, fruits, cheeses, and cold cuts are just some of the goodies you could offer.</li><li>Another option? Use a gas grill, which emits a lot less CO2 than charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid. This will satisfy that meat eating cousin and you can even create some very interesting desserts with a grill - think <a href="http://blog.nola.com/recipes/2008/05/grilled_bananas_foster.html">bananas foster</a> or <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Grilled-Peaches/Detail.aspx">grilled peaches</a>. Speaking of which, for dessert you should take advantage of things that keep well and will transport easily, such as cookies, cupcakes, baklava, biscotti, and petits fours. You could also serve MRE's (meals ready to eat) or freeze dried space ice cream (which could be pretty fun!), but that might be weird.</li></ul><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style=""><span class="apple-style-span"></span></span></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534481352707936376.post-6806500279522272882009-06-09T23:48:00.002+10:002009-06-09T23:49:30.881+10:00Upside down centrepiece<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://hostedmedia.reimanpub.com/rrmag/slideshowImages/centerpieces/centerpiece_aug08.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 383px; height: 383px;" src="http://hostedmedia.reimanpub.com/rrmag/slideshowImages/centerpieces/centerpiece_aug08.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />There's no reason to hide your mismatched stemware in the back of the cabinet anymore!

If your watermelon is wobbly when standing on one end, use a knife to trim off the stem end of your watermelon rind just enough that the melon sits flat. Then decide which side of your melon looks best — that'll be your front. Cut the top jack-o'-lantern style, big enough to fit your hand through, but center the cut more toward the back of the melon so you can't see the seam from the front. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Watermelon2" alt="Watermelon2" src="http://blog.evite.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/12/watermelon2.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>2. Use a big spoon to scoop out the fruit into a large bowl. Eat some of the watermelon as you're scooping it out to make sure it doesn't poison your guests. Pour any juice in the bottom of the melon into your pitcher. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Watermelon3" alt="Watermelon3" src="http://blog.evite.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/12/watermelon3.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>3. Drill a hole a few inches from the bottom of the melon for your faucet. Then use a knife to slightly widen the hole till it's just a little smaller than the diameter of the back of the faucet.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Watermelon4_2" alt="Watermelon4_2" src="http://blog.evite.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/12/watermelon4_2.jpg" border="0" /> </p><br /><p>4. Gently screw the faucet into the hole, putting your other hand inside the melon for leverage. Don't jam it in or you'll bruise the outside of the rind and compromise your seal. Inside the melon, carve away a little more fruit from around the back of the faucet (don't go through the rind) to make room for screwing on the adapter.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Watermelon6_2" alt="Watermelon6_2" src="http://blog.evite.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/12/watermelon6_2.jpg" border="0" /> </p><br /><p>5. Slide the O-ring onto the back of the faucet, then screw on the adapter. To test for leaks, fill the melon halfway with water, then turn on the faucet. Once you've confirmed that your watermelon is indeed operational, pour out the water through the top. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Watermelon8" alt="Watermelon8" src="http://blog.evite.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/12/watermelon8.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>6. Reserve some watermelon to eat tomorrow for breakfast, then throw the rest into a blender and puree. Use the back of a spoon to push the puree through a sieve placed over your pitcher so you're left with just juice. Discard any solids. You should have about 6 cups of juice. Mix the juice with 1 1/2 cups of rum and 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice (about four limes' worth). </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Watermelon10" alt="Watermelon10" src="http://blog.evite.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/12/watermelon10.jpg" border="0" /> </p><br /><p>7. Pour the mixture back into the watermelon. Put the top back on the melon and set it on the edge of a counter or table to serve.</p> <br /><p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Watermelon12" alt="Watermelon12" src="http://blog.evite.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/12/watermelon12.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">From <a href="http://blog.evite.com/evite/weddings/">Evite blog</a><br /></p> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534481352707936376.post-16165158186641205402009-06-09T07:10:00.003+10:002009-06-09T23:43:37.096+10:00Wedding competitions<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-family:georgia;" >When I was getting married, I entered every competition I could find.

The MC then reads aloud what they have to do to have the bride and groom kiss. Things like answering bride and groom trivia, singing a love song with your table and preforming a charade of a “wedding” movie…<br /><br /><p><strong>To Make the Kissing Tree…</strong></p> <p>Insert tall, sturdy branches into the base of a vase (using the green styrofoam). Hang matchbooks that have been adorned with fun tasks, to each of the branches. Make sure to only have about 25 matchbooks on the tree so that the game doesn’t get boring or redundant. And, make sure to prep your dj ahead of time so that he understands his job!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534481352707936376.post-64796245042314207732009-05-15T23:35:00.002+10:002009-05-15T23:36:49.455+10:00DIY bird cage veil<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://diy.wed-central.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/care04pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 553px; height: 442px;" src="http://diy.wed-central.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/care04pic.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><em>credit: care04 on theknot.com</em> <p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-118" title="bird cage vel 2 comb example" src="http://diy.wed-central.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/care04.jpg" alt="" height="175" width="480" /><br /></div><p><em>credit: care04 on theknot.com</em></p> <p>I found a fantastic tutorial online by “<a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/res0da3o/birdcageveilbio/id10.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">care04</a>” (From theknot.com!) who created her own bird cage veil and was nice enough to share the instructions with us!</p> <p>You will need…</p> <ul><li>1 yard of Russian Netting (9″ wide for a smaller veil like <em>care04</em> created OR 18″ wide if you plan to cover your entire face)</li><li>2 small combs for a smaller veil to be placed at each side of your head (with optional 3rd small comb to place in center to better hold the veil in place and further shape the netting) OR 1 large comb for a full face veil which would be placed at the top/middle of your head</li><li>invisible/white/ivory thread, depending on the color of the netting and your preference (Care04 recommended and used button thread)</li><li>hair pins to further shape veil once finished and placed on your head</li><li>Scissors</li><li>Optional: String to use as a guideline when cutting the veil shape</li></ul> <p>Let’s create a bird cage veil!</p> <ol><li>Lay out the netting so that the longest part is parallel with your body and decide on the veil shape. (Care04 used string to get an idea of the veil shape she wanted to cut and give the scissors a guideline to follow).</li><li>Cut off the hard corners of one side of the veil. Cut along the string line with sharp scissors so that you have one long edge with hard corners and one long edge with a rounded edge.</li><li>You will start your sewing at the hard corner and sew along the edge, through the rounded corner and across the top, then back down the opposite rounded corner, and finish at the hard edge opposite to the first hard edge. (This will pull the edges of the veil up so that it is a more rounded shape around your face.)</li><li>Using your thread (Care04 used button thread because of its strength), loop it once through a “diamond” of the netting at the first hard corner and make a very small knot so that the thread will hold. Use a running stitch through the open weaves of the netting. (Make sure to thread in between the diamonds that are complete - when you cut your netting, some of the “diamonds” will be cut, so if you thread through those broken holes the thread won’t stay!)</li><li>As you pull your thread for the running stitch, bunch up the fabric on the thread (it will be sort of like a drawstring) to your desired width. (Care04 used a 3.5 inch comb, so she gathered it to 3.5 inches - gather to the width of your comb(s)!) When you have gathered to the width you need, finish with a small tight knot.</li><li>Next, using your thread sew the bunched edge of the veil to the comb using a looping stitch, through the material and around the top/head of the comb and in between the teeth).</li><li>If using 2 small combs and wrapping, repeat step to attach the second comb to the other side of the veil.</li><li>Lastly, add embellishments! Scatter pearls or crystals as you see fit, attach feathers or even a flower (a silk gardenia would be pretty!). Be creative! (Note: You may also choose to make smaller embellishments on the veil itself, and then save the bigger ones like feathers and flowers for a separate comb to use along with your bird cage veil. This would allow you to place the larger flower/feather pin to hide pins or combs and also the ability to remove the bird cage veil after ceremony and wear only the flower/feather clip at the reception!)</li></ol>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
