The tradition of offering a specific gift on a specific anniversary is thought to have started back in the middle ages in Europe. In the beginning, the only anniversaries with special gifts were the 25th anniversary and the 50th anniversary, where silver and gold wreaths were given by the husband to the wife – silver on the 25th and gold on the 50th. I bet not that many couples made it to their 50th anniversary in the middle ages as life expectancy wasn’t all that long. Making it to the 50th was probably cause for greater celebration than even today!

A very expensive wedding “must have” is gorgeous wedding centerpieces to set off your reception tables. When you order them from the local florist, you are paying high prices for quality flowers, shipping, special order fees and the floral designer’s talent and time.
With a little creativity and thought, you can make your own centerpieces that will not only radiate a special ambiance for your guests, but will make you proud of your own ingenuity.

When you first think about wedding jewelry you may automatically think about the wedding ring itself. Even though the wedding ring is the most important piece of jewelry to be placed on the bride, there are many other pieces of jewelry to consider. The wedding ring does not end up with the bride until the middle of the ceremony. The rest of her jewelry that day will be worn as she walks down the aisle, as she stands in front of her soon-to-be spouse, and for the rest of the party night in most cases.

A lot of planning and decision-making goes into a wedding and creating the registry is one of those things that demands these two things from the engaged couple.

The registry is more than just a wedding wish list. It’s a way of beginning a new life as a married couple, by thinking about your needs and wants as a pair. It also makes things easier for your guests who want to wish you a lifetime of happiness. By letting them know what you want or need, they’ll be getting you something that will aid you in building your newly married life and your home together.
