Capturing wedding moments for memories
More than 2.5 million couples
get married each year. And, one of
the most frequently heard
complaints by all of them is that
things happened so quickly they
hardly even remember their own
wedding! That's why photography
is so important. Next to the bride
and groom, the most important
person at the wedding is often the
photographer. To help ensure
Selecting perfect cake
For an extra special wedding,
every detail counts. Everything
from your dress right down to the
cake should be expressly for you.
So, make each decision a
thoughtful decision. Find the right
person or bakery to make your cake
by comparing samples of their
work and by tasting, too! Ask
questions. Can a strawberry filling
be added? Will a whipped cream
frosting hold up? And, how will the
finished cake be delivered?
Once you select a baker/
decorator, don't settle for a carbon
copy of a cake made for a previous
wedding. Instead, provide ideas so
that your cake is designed
especially for you and your groom.
Start with an ornament you love
and pair it with fresh flowers keyed
to your color scheme. Or,
personalize your cake with a
special frosting flavour.
Another beautiful way to
individualize a cake is by co
ordinating your own cake orna
ments and accessories. Giftware
designer Ellen Williams combines
expert detailing with fine porcelain,
laces and trims in an exquisite
selection of wedding cake
ornaments. Each ornament can be
mixed and matched with fresh
flowers, greenery or any other
accessories in her designer series.
Wedding cake ornaments are
available to fit any style. Choose
from graceful swans floating on
lace, gentle doves amidst tulle and
soft roses, wedding bands with
shimmering pearls, and many more.

Going to the chapel - Some of
the best memories happen even
before the "the big day," for
example, the bride trying on veils,
the flower girls rehearsing her part,
the groom at his bachelor party. To
make sure these spontaneous
moments are recorded, delegate
wedding couple, you might select a
flowery base, a pearl-trimmed arch
or a lattice gazebo.
In addition to the cake itself, give
some extra attention to the cake
service. The tablecloth should
enhance the beauty of the cake, not
detract. An attractive arrangement
of plates, napkins and forks also
will help make your cake the focal
point. And, a small spray of
flowers, ribbon or lace tied to a
carefully-chosen cake knife and
server is an elegant touch.

Bridal shower blues - Sure, the
bridal shower is fun, but what’s a
girl to do when it's time to send out
thank-you notes and she can't
remember which guest gave which

is opened, have the maid of honor
snap a shot of the bride with the
gift and the guest who gave it to
her. The benefits: There's no gift
confusion, it's easier than writing
everything down, and with a quick
note scrawled on the back, the
photos serve as personal thank-you
cards.
Get the guests involved - One
of today's biggest wedding trends is
for brides to place one-time-use
cameras on tables, inviting guests
to capture candid moments.
Keep your photos organized -
It's always important to keep your
photos organized and in a safe
place, but people often forget about
storing their negatives. Then, when
they want to make reprints, the
