The Butterfly Field invitation, for example, creates a silhouette display that's set off by the punch of watermelon colored ink. It's an extremely romantic look from an unexpected and understated color scheme. For the wedding that promises a far off location or eclectic destination, there are specially designed invitations that offer a preview to the adventure.

There is a lot of fun you can have when incorporating colors. Like the example above, think of accents you can add to your dress. If you go this route, it’s recommended you buy a long sash that flows down the length of your dress in the back for optimum beauty. One thing to remember, though, sashes work best with strapless gowns. Adding a color sash to a short sleeve or cap sleeve outfit, or dress with coordinating mini jacket would be too much, dividing the eye between details.

A strapless wedding dress that is tailored in at the waist with a graceful flair skirt that opens up to tiers of delicate tulle would be a great choice. Look for a bridal gown shop that carries wedding gowns in extra length. Tall brides have the advantage of being able to pull off dramatic looks.

If this sounds like you, buying your groomsmen’s gifts doesn’t have to be difficult. Start by developing a budget. Decide how much you have to spend total on groomsmen’s gifts and divide it by the total number of groomsmen. Most importantly, once you have ironed out the more general details, try to think about why each man is in your wedding party and search for a gift that speaks to that quality.

A unique and handsome spin on the utilitarian gift is the Nail-It Multi Tool. Aside from being a pair of pliers, a knife blade, saw, file, screwdriver, and can opener, the Nail-It is a durable and attractive hammer. The timeless wooden valet has a pull-out drawer for hiding a man’s more delicate adornments, as well as top-side cubby spaces for keys, sunglasses, cell phones.

All That Glitters offers another formal presentation that will make your invitees feel honored to be on your guest list. This fine gold invitation card comes slipped inside a classy, pin-striped paper band that bears your monogram in fancy block script, adding to its distinctive look. Another ecological plus of this design is that the band can be planted by your invitation's recipient, yielding wildflowers that help protect the endangered honeybee.

The wording of your invitation shows the level of reverence you have for your guests and family, and while some may view your word choices as appropriate, others may view it as disrespectful. Make sure your follow protocol to a-T so you won’t leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth.

The items are generally presented at the wedding reception and can add another element of decoration to the reception's table setting. These items can all be found with a single initial elegantly printed on them. The Monogrammed Votive Candle in Sheer Organza Bag by Kate Aspen is a lovely way to say thank you to guests.

There are plenty of pre-printed pieces perfect for every member of the bridal party. In fact, there are literally hundreds of ways to personalize bridal party t-shirts and you can choose everything from an 80s splatter look to a cute floral graphic to go along with the personalization. There are a host of items that come in both vibrant jewel tones and handsome primary colors, which means you can give both children the same gift and still make them personal.

Collector's knives, like the Yukon Lockback Knife for instance feature a stylish wood handle and brushed steel gift box while the Personalized Woody Fillet Knife is sure to become a favorite at the grill. These are perfect for customizing with everyone's names and can be worn out to the bachelor party or other wedding party activities.
