It has been said that a woman is most beautiful on her wedding day.  She has planned and exercised and dieted and prepped and groomed for this event.  She has dreamed about this day, she has talked about this day and she has lived through the wonderful events of the day.  She was radiant, elegant in her gorgeous gown, ethereal in her veil, and evanescent in her enjoyment. How can she preserve this?

How can a bride be remembered forever-at least to herself, her family and her husband?  Here are some of the best ways to preserve the memories forever:

1. The best photo of the husband and wife placed in a gorgeous frame and prominent in their home.

2. A bridal gallery of large wedding pictures with the family along a hallway.

3. A lovely wedding album complete with numerous pictures of the bride resplendent in her gown

4. A wedding video that makes sure to display the bride in all her splendor

5. Preservation of the wedding dress in a way that it can be viewed.

6. Preservation of the bridal bouquet so it can be placed in a stand in the bedroom.

7. Celebrating each anniversary by revisiting their special video and/or album.

8. Wearing a piece of jewelry that preserves that beautiful image in words and photo to be visited all of the time– http://hourpowerwatches.com

If you and your spouse can stay in the moment of your wedding day, you will continually be surrounding yourself in the positive feelings that it evoked.  This is a wonderful way to stay committed to each other and the way you began.

We want you to have a wonderful and memorable wedding.  And, it’s important to know that this is not related to how much you spend; but, rather, on how to spend your money wisely.  The following are some important tips related to your beautiful celebration:

DATE:  The choice of a Saturday wedding increases the cost of all aspects of your event.  So, pick another day-Friday, Sunday or even Thursday (when royalty marry in Europe)

TIME:  The most expensive events are evening events.  But, people love brunches, lunches, and cocktail parties-all of which stretch your dollar.

PLACE:  Resorts and hotels are the most costly.  Look at local wineries, community centers, rental halls from ethnic groups, etc.  All can be decorated beautifully and made to be an exciting arena.

GO LOCAL:  Support local businesses and you will be politically correct and right on budget. Select caterers and wedding bakeries from within your circle.  Make sure that you buy your own alcoholic beverages and bring it yourself to the reception.  Hire creative companies that support your vision of your wedding, but are more reasonable

ATTIRE : A wedding dress is important and you want to be a beautiful bride; but, it is only worn once!  Look for a special price-sample gowns, local designers, sale items.  There will still be ample selections of gorgeous choices.  When it comes to your bridesmaids-look at department stores for a dinner dress that can be worn again, or allow each girl to select a dress of their choosing in a particular color. 

FLOWERS/DECORATIONS: Use floral arrangements wisely:  less can be more when it comes to costly flowers.  Use your most expensive flowers sparingly and fill in with large amounts of baby’s breathe.  It creates a beautiful environment for much less.  Interesting decorations from balloons to fabrics can add an element of surprise and delight.

WHOM TO INVITE:  Focus on family and friends who mean something to each of you.  Invite people who need to be there; not just who satisfy an obligation.  Smaller weddings tend to be more personal

MAKE IT MEANINGFUL: People really remember weddings because of personal touches that you have created.  Special poems or songs, cameras on tables to catch original photos, and memorable ways to capture this event forever (www.hourpowerwatches.com) are all part of remembering this day.

You finally got engaged and you’re ready to get married.  Now, you’re having a debate about whether or not to have a wedding event.  One of you is not so excited about the time and money this would cost. After all, the whole idea is to be together forever, not put on an extravaganza.

But, there really is a good reason to sanctify your marriage in front of family and friends.  It really is going to be good for your marriage—this is why:

1.     A wedding ritual that includes all the people you care about becomes   meaningful moment to be shared forever.

2.     The couple can palpably feel the love and joy that surrounds them

3.     Their relationship is enhanced by the positive emotions displayed

4.     The “couple experience” their lives becoming entwined with the vows they make and those who witness this event.

5.     A reciprocal bond of support is solidified between the couple and their friends and family.

6.     A wedding is really fun.

7.     Dancing and revelry creates such happiness to be treasured

8.     There is a chance to be grateful and sentimental in a formal way

9.     There is an opportunity to be reminded of your love all the time: http://www.hourpowerwatches.com/.

Transcendent joy is forever part of your special day.  It really is so meaningful and nothing prepares you for how your heart will feel.
