The Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest is a popular contest that always has me wanting to see the finalist’s creations every year.  I love to see what people can create with toilet paper – it’s A LOT!  When I had my bridal shower 10 years, we played a game, “create a toilet paper wedding gown”, but let me tell you it was nothing like these dresses.  I am always speechless when I see the final products.  All the finalists are talented, creative and really know how to work with toilet paper!

Wedding cupcakes are a hit with brides.  Maybe it’s the wide choices of flavors, the beautiful displays, the cost or how easy they are to serve.  But whatever the reason, more and more brides are choosing cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cakes.

With more budget cautious brides and the trend of having a less formal affair, these cupcakes make a hit.  Many brides want a gorgeous wedding cake but find the cost to be overwhelming and difficult to fit in their budget.  Bakers traditional charge about $4.00 and up per slice.  You can see how this can get quite expensive.

I’m not saying cupcakes are much cheaper.  Some cupcakes may take just as long to decorate and may contain expensive ingredients, but there are different ways to decorate cupcakes that can lessen the cost.  You don’t need to go with the butter cream icing florets, fresh flowers or pieces of fruit can really make the cupcakes unique and inexpensive.  So cupcakes can be cheaper ($2-$4/cupcake) and a great option!  Additionally, the reception venue usually charges a fee to serve and piece the cake.  This will be reducing if not eliminated with a cupcake wedding dessert.  Plus the presentation of the cupcakes can be a conservation piece in itself at your wedding reception.  The choice is up to you; have a traditional wedding cakes or the unique trendy option of cupcakes?

The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red.

With the 2010 Winter Olympics coming to a close in a few days, I thought I’d speak of the colors used in the Olympic Rings and how they can be a great choice for your wedding.

Color Moods:

Blue and green: Calming, cool.  Choosing one of these colors adds a relaxing atmosphere to your event.  It tends to release a calming effect.

Yellow, red : excitement, romance.  Warm colors rev us up and get us going.  Using any of these colors let’s your guests know a party is starting!  These colors tend to release emotions.

Black: unifying.  It makes a statement on it’s own, but can be use to tone another color down.  When used on it’s own this color tends to be very sophisticated.
