As you prepare for your wedding, you’ll probably find times when you need just the right quote to go along with the moment. Here are a few places you might consider using a quote and some wonderful love quotes to match that occasion:

In the wedding ceremony –

“Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity–everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul.” – Thomas Moore
“Relationships–of all kinds–are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.” – Kaleel Jamison

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.

Baby’s Breath is a staple in elegant centerpieces for any occasion and normally inexpensive.

Your wedding is meant to be a reflection of you and your fiance’s love for each other, but it is also a time to draw on your creativity to make your wedding special and absolutely like no one else’s. One of the things that lends itself really nicely to your creativity is with your wedding programs.

Wedding programs are certainly not a necessity, but they are wonderful for the guests to have before the wedding begins so they can follow along with what’s going on in the wedding. Fan programs take it a step further by also being useful in a hot church or hot outdoor wedding.

Creating your own wedding fan programs is a nice way to show a touch of your uniqueness. It’s not hard to do, just a little time consuming. You can ask a friend or relative to do it, or have a little get-together with your bridesmaids and get it done quicker while in a fun and relaxing environment.

Just follow these simple steps to make wedding fan programs:

1. Type out your program on your computer using your favorite font. Note – you need to know the exact order of events in your wedding first.
