Sometimes brides dream of having their wedding in a far away location. This can either be a European city or a tropical beach paradise.  The problem, however, comes with the bill.  The plane tickets, hotels, flowers and food will cost several thousand dollars.  However, if you really want a destination wedding, why not have the destination come to you.  For example, say you dream of getting married in Paris.  Then why not decorate your reception area with images of the City of Lights.  You can also serve French flavors and food.  This way, you still get the feeling of Paris without having to use your passport.

If you and your fiancé love gardening, you might consider using flowers, fruits and vegetables as decorations.  These will make a beautiful backdrop and setting at your wedding or reception.   You could also consider using some cheap outdoor wedding venues, such as local gardens or the beach.

For the animal lover, you may consider having your wedding at a zoo or bringing live animals to you.  If this is not possible, then you can set up a tropical or forest feel complete with trees.  If you go this route, you may also want to have vegetarian dishes for your guests if any of the animal lovers do not eat meat.

While summer might be the most popular time of the year for a wedding, why not consider the winter.  Nothing is more romantic than getting married under a gently falling snow in the mountains.  Getting married around Christmas has the additional bonus of having all your family around to witness the ceremony and your special moment.

Another idea is to have a fairytale wedding.  Why not decorate your wedding with a princess look complete with crystal and a tiara.  Don’t forget the silver or crystal shoes to complete the look and the Cinderella feel.  You can also consider one of the many candlelight wedding ideas to add lots of romance to the occasion.

There are any number of themed wedding ideas which you can use to make your wedding unique and memorable at the same time.

Whether you are working with a florist or you are creating your centerpieces at home, choose your colors well. You will want to accentuate and highlight your wedding colors with centerpieces.

The wedding cake topper reflects the overall theme of a wedding and puts the finishing touches on the cake. Traditionally, the usual topper for wedding cakes have been the plastic bride and groom. Today, many couples are moving beyond the traditional plastic topper and letting creativity inspire them in their choice of a cake topper.

Vintage wedding cake toppers always go well for traditional style weddings. These nostalgic and sweet toppers feature figures such as doves or lovebirds, swans, hearts, wedding bells, arches, humming birds, or butterflies.

Nowadays, many couples are choosing novelty cake toppers that reflects a more whimsical flare. Humorous wedding cake toppers in which a determined bride hooks her groom and drags him to the alter are becoming very popular. Also, toppers that reflect a favorite pastime such as fishing, hunting, or golfing are a nice change of pace from the norm and certainly catches the eye, not to mention chuckles, of your guests.

The cake topper also plays a big role in fantasy style weddings. Pumpkin carriages and castles work well as a fanciful creation for this style of wedding.

For a beach themed wedding, the possibilities are virtually endless for cake toppers. Exotic flowers, chocolate seashells, miniature palm trees, or a cute pair of Adirondack chairs are just a few options you could use.

New to the market of cake toppers is cake jewelry. Cake jewelry really makes your cake stand out and truly adds sparkle to your reception. A tiara filled with flowers is a beautiful choice that your guests will not be able to take their eyes off.

It is important however for brides and grooms to talk with their baker about what might look best and take into consideration the size and shape of the cake. Most of all, couples should let their imagination run free and enjoy choosing this fun wedding element.
