A Middle Earth Wedding
A traditional wedding was never an option for me. For one thing, I felt that certain aspects of this, no matter how beautiful, would not suit me. I wanted something different from the pastel colors, embossed invitations with flowers and bells, doves flying around only to be painfully recaptured, or stodgy waiters serving set meals where one had to remember which fork to use. I had some pretty strong opinions, too, about what I wanted to happen. I did not want a solemn and formal affair where everyone would have to be on their best behavior, meaning that they’d be stiff and uncomfortable. I wanted my wedding to be something that my friends and I could enjoy, something that spoke about my husband and me rather than merely about this age-old and often-seen ceremony. Thus, I opted to have a themed wedding. This allowed my husband and me to create a unique and personal affair and to control as many aspects of the wedding as we wanted to.

Curled for the Big Day
Clueless on how to style your hair for the big day? For brides who would like to veer away from the usual updo for their wedding, letting your hair down with loose curls is another option. This look is especially apt for garden weddings and celebrations of the more casual kind.
