My Best Friend’s Wedding- And I Helped Planned It!

By: Melissa E Cruz

Your female friend suddenly drops the bomb that she is going to get married ten months from now. Both of you are excited about the whole event but there is no skipping the stressful wedding planning. She is clueless on what wedding theme to incorporate then suddenly; you remember that you have just read some wedding ideas in a magazine. Discuss the possible wedding ideas with your friend and she’ll surely appreciate it.
That cheerful autumn wedding
Having a wedding in fall is a very warm and romantic idea. Imagine the fall foliage and the cooler weather…it’s perfect. A vineyard, an old barn and an apple orchard are popular venues to hold a fall wedding. Play with the colors of brown, yellow, orange and red to breathe life to the place. Ornate the venue with season flowers like daisies, mums, tallow berries, fall leaves, yarrow and roses. Use fake but real-looking pumpkins, acorns, cornucopias and gourds for added decorations. If an evening wedding is your thing, have soup in an emptied pumpkin for starters. Serve roasted turkey for dinner and baked apple for dessert. Give away bottles of maple syrup or maple leaf coaster sets as wedding favors.
Winter Wedding Ideas
Instead of wearing the traditional white gown, go for something that has a subtle shade like icy-blue or blush pink. Winter brides are not compelled to wear coveralls to avoid shivering in the cold. They can still wear stylish strapless gowns and add faux fur for protection or three-quarter sleeved-gowns. Highlight the wedding themes by using crystal accents and winter blooms like amaryllis, calla lilies, red roses, tulips and orchids. For the main entrees, offer filet mignon, lemon-baked fish and lamb chops. Have a candy bar where guests can get white Hershey’s Kisses or yogurt-covered pretzels for dessert. Snowflake gel candles and snowman crystal coasters are perfect winter wedding favors to hand over to the guests.
Spring Wedding Ideas
A wedding in spring signifies a new beginning for the couple. Spring is when new life shoots out after a long cold season. the colors are just amazing and what a sight to behold. Pinks and greens are therefore great colors for a spring wedding. The wedding can also be adorned with beautiful spring blooms like hyacinth, tulips, calla lilies, roses and Gerber daisies. The spring menu can be carrot or ginger soup, and move on to the main course with rockfish, salmon braid, sweet potato timbale and asparagus spears. Finally, delight your guests with sunflower ornamented favors.
Summer Wedding Ideas
Enjoy the beauty of the beach or an abundant garden by having an outdoor wedding in summer. Take advantage of the sunset to make the event more romantic. With the kind of weather during this season, brides can flaunt their nice skin with sleeveless dress, collarbone-baring dress. Accentuate the venue with lively flowers such as yellow and red calla lilies, sunflowers, Gerber daisies, zinnias, mums, dahlias, mums, and roses. Dish out seafood such as oysters and lobsters, glazed pork loin and potato salad. For souvenirs, you can have flip flop key chains, silver-plated dolphin place cardholders or beach-inspired picture frames.
If your friend didn’t like any of the wedding ideas you have presented and opted to have an Asian-themed wedding, you can give her a hand in looking for Asian wedding guest books to choose from and other wedding paraphernalia.
Once the wedding details have been finalized and it’s time to have the bridal shower, shock her with your fantastic wedding shower gift. Give her a female emergency kit that comes with hairbrush with mirror, hand lotion, tampon, nail clipper, lip balm, facial tissues, dental floss, adhesive bandages, and breath freshener. This emergency kit will really be of use in times of emergency. A Bloomingdale’s or Debenham’s gift certificate is also a nice idea so she can go on a shopping spree just before she ties the knot.
Ten Years Forward
The wedding 10 years ago was a success. Your friend is back to ask for anniversary ideas this time. Give her a list of 10th anniversary wedding gifts ideas for her husband. The traditional gifts are made of aluminum. A wine bottle tote, a watch and a sweetener holder made of aluminum are great anniversary ideas.
Guests only come and go as soon as the wedding reception is over. However, you as the helpful girlfriend will stay and endure all the complicated matters along with your best friend before, during and after the memorable event in her life. You will be there for her and show her your support by lending a hand when needed.
