			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-245" src="http://www.marriedinminnesota.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wedding1.jpg" alt="wedding" width="300" height="198" />Today's economy is tough on everyone and the word budget has become more used than ever before. It's no surprise that people are looking for all sorts of bargains, value buys and discounts so they can save money and keep more for themselves. <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/holidays-entertaining/weddings/budget/save-money-wedding-00000000006530/index.html">Penny pinching in tough times is especially important for those huge purchases and special events</a>. Perhaps the biggest event in your life, your wedding, is no exception. We've outlined some ways you can save money while keeping your wedding posh.</p>

<p><strong>1. Have a do-it-yourself video presentation</strong></p>

<p>One of the fun things you can look into is a do-it-yourself video presentation. A lot of video presentations cost a lot to produce and are both high production value and high priced. The whole process involves directors, cameramen, lighting and hair and makeup galore. Even with all these costs, though, there's no guarantee that your video will not turn out like everyone else. Going the opposite direction could be a fun quirky way to make your video. This way you get rid of unneeded production costs while focusing on the personality of your relationship. Forget about that $1000 dollar template video, you can do your own video on PowerPoint. It will mean a lot more to everyone and make a better impact. Besides, low fidelity is in.
<strong>
2. Look at wearing a previously worn gown </strong></p>

<p>If you're not the creative type, <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Save-Money-on-Your-Wedding-Ceremony-and-Reception">you can always look for other ways to save on costs</a>. One particular thing to look out for is a used tuxedo and/or dress from a relative or parent. This is a lot easier for guys because styles usually don't differ. With a little altering, that old tuxedo in the closet could be a high impact vintage tuxedo that's waiting to wow the audience. This is a little bit harder for the bride, though. Bridal gown styles change drastically every season, but it's still worth a look. You may find that your mom's old dress can be reborn with a little help from a designer.</p>

<p><strong>3. Try a small destination wedding</strong></p>

<p>Another idea to keep your wedding posh but cheap is to do a destination wedding. People think that destination weddings are generally more expensive but they would be wrong. Often destination weddings that are out of town but near your home are less expensive because you can invite less people to the wedding. The idea of a destination wedding is also a stylish alternative to the regular church wedding in your neighborhood.</p>

<p>Lastly, you can also look into the specific venue of your wedding. Since you already have less people because of the destination wedding, why not look at a small restaurant instead of a banquet hall? You'll find that restaurants may charge a lot lower than hotels for closing the place down and will be a lot more accommodating. Look for restaurants with character to add to the feel of your motif. There are always opportunities to borrow money if you need it like taking out a bank loan or <a href="http://www.paydayloans.org.uk/">payday loans uk</a> for example. Also some restaurants have built in sound systems so this potentially cuts down on your sound system costs.</p>]]></content:encoded>

As the wedding approaches, this time is also something that mothers of the groom look forward to with equal anticipation.
<h2>How to Choose the Right Dress</h2>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Theme</strong> – Every mother of the groom should stay “in the loop” with her son and future daughter in law to find out what the colors and theme is for the wedding. The dress that she chooses should complement the flowers, <a href="http://weddings.weddingchannel.com/wedding-planning-ideas/wedding-colors.aspx?MsdVisit=1">colors of the wedding</a> and even the mother of the brides dress as well too.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li> <strong>Comfort</strong> – Since she will be in that dress for eight to 10 hours, the dress that she chooses must be comfortable to wear for that long period of time but also be appropriate for the time of day that the wedding is going held.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li> <strong>Budget </strong>- Before going out to buy a dress, a mother of the groom should set a budget and if possible, choose a dress that she will be able to wear more than once.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Time of Year</h2>
Last of all, it’s important to choose a <a href="http://motherofthegroomdresses.org/">mother of the groom dress</a> based on the time of the year. For example: if the wedding will be held during the winter months, a long sleeve jacket should be worn with the dress so the mother of the groom can stay warm and comfortable on her son’s big day.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>A wedding will never be completed without the brides wedding bouquet. This are used to carry by the bride while walking on the isle until she reach the altar where her groom is waiting. Although, there are different types of bouquet, but a wedding bouquet is the only one who gives valuable in a very memorable moment. Let us see what are the types of wedding bouquet that used to bring with women in their wedding day.</p>

<p>Nosegays – this one have a perfect round and vary in sizes. It was the roundness that defines this type of bouquet and it was often tied with ribbon around the flower stems.</p>

<p>Arm Bouquet – this one was carried along in the forearm with the flowers at the bend of the elbow. This one was similar to what you would see in a beauty pageant winner receive. The stem of this type of bouquet must keep too long.</p>

<p>Cascade – this is a large bouquet that was also called as a teardrop bouquet. It has a bulk of flowers at the top.</p>

<p>Single Bud – this one is a single flower bouquet that the bride only wants to carry.</p>

<p>Pomander – this is a round bouquet that shows no stems. And there was a ribbon attached on the top of it where the bride will hold the ribbon and it will just hangs down when carried.</p>
