Popping the question requires optimal timing And while the JumboTron route is a perfectly acceptable option for a baseball lover who relishes the spotlight, not everyone wants their special moment to be a spectacle in front of thousands. If you or your intended are shy, you may need a quieter idea. Bake a cake with the proposal written in the icing, or print the question on a trivia card in your favorite board game.

However you decide to propose, don’t forget to make the moment special, because it’s one you’ll never forget.

Couple can strive for a perfect wedding registry (StatePoint) For recently engaged couples this is the time to get everything you ever wanted. Whether you’re starting from scratch, upgrading, expanding or replacing, the goal is to turn a whole bunch of mismatched mine and yours into a lifetime of ours.

• There are so many details involved in making sure you get exactly what you need and want, but it doesn’t have to be stressful,” says Audrey Stavish, wedding and gift registry expert at Bed Bath & Beyond.

“Consulting a professional can make the registry process stress-free and even fun.”

Stavish is offering some helpful hints to plan the perfect wedding registry: • Plan Ahead: Start a wedding registry as soon as you say yes, to give guests plenty of time. Where you register is important.

Ask friends, family and co-workers about their experiences. Opt for convenience and great customer service. Choose a store that has locations nationwide and a website, making it easy for you and your guests.

• Seek Help: It’s easy to get overwhelmed with planning a wedding. That’s why couples rely on the advice of professionals – from stylists to florists to caterers. Don’t forget the registry expert! Also, take advantage of complimentary wedding planning tools available on your registry website to consolidate all your wedding information in one place. A site like www. bedbathandbeyond.com for example, has

features that help you budget your wedding, manage your guest list, and arrange your seating chart.

• Visit a Store: It`s in your best interest to visit a store and talk with an expert consultant who can help you with your gift selections and share great tips, like what cookware you will need to prepare your favorite dish. It’s important to touch the towels, hold the flatware, and see everything in person. Most couples go into the stores many times and also update their registries online more than once.

• Dream big: A good formula is to register for two-to-three items for each guest invited to the wedding. Friends and family will rely on the registry for your engagement party, shower and holidays. And guests will appreciate having lots of choices in a wide range of prices and categories.

• Let Your Friends Know: A complete wedding stationery ensemble helps you inform your guests about every detail of your wedding – from asking guests to save your wedding date to thanking them for wedding gifts. Visit www.bedbathandbeyond.com and click on “personalized invitations” to visit their online-only stationery store.

Planning a perfect wedding is every couple’s dream. But your wedding is just the first day of your marriage. Your registry, however, will impact your daily life for years to come. So be sure you plan it perfectly.

Brides favoring the elegant lace gown worn by the duchess (ARA) - Although the latest Brides American Wedding Study shows the average cost of a wedding in 2010 was $26,501, a decrease of 5 percent from 2009, weddings continue to be big business. But many couples are opting to cut the guest list instead of big ticket items like wedding gowns.

In fact, the average wedding gown cost $1,289 in 2010, a 20 percent increase over 2009, according to the study. This is no surprise to the millions who were glued to their television

sets this past April during the most talked about wedding since the 1981 royal wedding of Lady Diana to Prince Charles.

Many brides are now emulating the elegant lace gown worn by Catherine Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge.

In addition to beautiful lace, the newest trends in wedding gowns include color, soft sleeves, short hemlines and eco-friendly materials.

Whether it is Chantilly, Alencon, duchesse, gui-

pure, or ribbon, lace has become one of the hottest trends this year. “Designers at all price points have debuted collections featuring full frothy skirts, wildf lowers and lace used in both traditional and modern ways,” says Kate Campbell, department chair of Fashion and Retail Management at The Art Institute of Tampa, a branch of Miami International University of Art and Design. “This particular trend parallels the more feminine, ele-

gant trends we see in fashion everywhere - including more fitted and ladylike styles reminiscent of Grace Kelly and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.”

While not for everyone, the use of color in wedding gowns has been growing in popularity. Rich and vibrant, or more subdued, color in bridal wear is everywhere. Some brides choose soft pastel colors, such as blush, rose or skin-tone.

Others opt to wear vibrant hues of lavender, green and deep pink. Less bold brides are more likely to use hints of accent color on sashes, bows, embroidery, hems, necklines or beading. “The bride who chooses to add color to her dress is fashion forward and confident – it’s not for the faint of heart,” says Amber Chatelain, lead faculty for the Fashion and Retail Management program at The Art Institute of Tennessee-Nashville, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta.

Budget talks should include the wedding

If you haven’t already done it, exchange your credit scores, and discuss how you both arrived at your respective credit statuses.

Consider enrolling together in a credit monitoring product. Keeping a close eye on your credit leading up to marriage may help you better understand if and how you should use credit in funding your wedding. Websites like Freecreditscore.com allow you to see your credit score, which is a snapshot of your

ion programs at Miami International University of Art and Design.

Eco-friendly options have also increased in popularity. “There are now numerous ecofriendly designers whose sole business is to create wedding dresses made with earthfriendly fabrics and materials, using techniques that are in harmony with the earth,” says Crystal Shamblee, department chair of Fashion Design for The Art Institute of Philadelphia. Secondhand and vintage wedding dresses are another ecofriendly choice.

Whatever fashion trends a bride chooses, one that will never go out of style is a gown that fits well, is figure f lattering and makes the bride feel like she’s the most beautiful woman in the world on her big day.

budgeting and smart use of credit can help you prevent wedding-induced money problems from interfering with your marital bliss.

As soon as you set a wedding date, you need to begin thinking about and discussing how you’ll pay for your big day. Your conversation should encompass several key financial talking points, including: • Credit – Discuss candidly how you’ve both used it in the past, how you’ll use it going forward and what, if any, role credit will play in funding your wedding.

(ARA) - The average wedding now costs more than $25,000, multiple studies show. Few couples starting their lives together have that kind of cash, and many will fund their weddings - wholly or in part - with credit. While it’s normal to want the wedding of your dreams, your special day shouldn’t lead to years of unmanageable debt.

Money problems, including too much debt, can cause significant disharmony in a marriage and can even lead to divorce.

Another interesting new trend in bridal wear is short gowns, especially for brides choosing destination and beach weddings. While they may be short in length, these dresses are not short on style. Some offer sophisticated laces, chic feathers or multilayered organza mini-skirts.

The day is all about tradition Chances are those who have attended a wedding have witnessed some popular traditions take place. The bride wears a veil, a court of wedding attendants accompanies the bride and groom, and birdseed, rice or flower petals are tossed. But have you ever wondered why? The wedding customs are ripe with tradition and harken back to days when superstition and myth often ruled the day.

• Throwing rice: Today it has become de rigueur to blow bubbles, toss birdseed or release doves when the bride and groom leave the house of worship newly betrothed. That’s because savvy individuals found that raw rice can pose a hazard to birds pecking in the area. However, rice throwing is an old custom that dates back to the Middle Ages, when wheat or rice where thrown to symbolize fertility for the couple.

• Bouquet: Nowadays, the bride carries a beautiful bouquet of flowers. But the purpose of the bouquet held different meanings in the past.

Saracen brides carried orange blossoms for fertility. Others carried a combination of herbs and flowers to ward off evil spirits with their aroma. Bouquets of dill were often

BUDGET FROM 13 credit. The site’s Credit Score Center can help you understand how your score works, how it’s calculated, what factors impact it and when is the best time to apply for credit.

• Budgeting – A budget will be key to financial security throughout your married life. Establishing and sticking to a budget for your wedding is not only a good way to avoid overspending, it’s a good team-building exercise for future spouses. You can learn a lot about each other based on how you manage your weddingplanning budget.

For example, every budget includes income.

You’ll need to realistically discuss your wedding “income” - funding sources you can rely on to help defray the overall wedding cost. Will your parents contribute? Will you dip into some savings? Will you pay for some things with credit?

• Savings – Saving money is often an exercise

in compromise. For example, you may want a new car, but to save money you may buy a slightly used one instead of a current model. Saving money on wedding costs is the same.

You’ll need to look for creative ways to save money.

Fortunately, there are many ways to do this.

Changing the time of your wedding to off-peak seasons or days of the week, opting to hold it at a different venue like a park, botanical garden or even a zoo, choosing less-costly dinner selections and even making invitations and favors yourself, can all save you money.

Many people find it difficult to reconcile the idea of financial matters and romance. But don’t underestimate the romantic appeal of starting out your life together free of wedding debt. Having good credit, solid credit scores and little or no debt can be a great foundation for creating financial bliss in your marriage.

Wedding guests will remember the food fun. Therefore, instead of worrying about choosing Jordan almonds over chocolate truff les, or whether the cake should have an extra tier, couples may want to pay more attention to selecting their

reception menus.

Although certain foods are wedding staples, it could pay for couples to think with their stomachs instead of their heads when selecting wedding day fare. Having a selec-

Wedding insurance can bring peace of mind needed a bit of extra color, and took his finger paints to the beautiful white fabric. Or the cat that decided to give birth – nestled into the folds of the bride’s wedding gown.

“Wedding disasters occur on a daily basis,” says Robert Nuccio, president of R.V. Nuccio & Associates, Inc., the exclusive program manager of the Fireman’s Fund wedding insurance program in the U.S. “Weather, vendors going out of business, the father of the bride not being able to attend due to sudden illness – you name it, it’s happened. You can’t plan for these disasters. But you can have a Plan B.” Under one policy through Wedsure.com, a division of R.V. Nuccio and Associates, couples can pick and choose al a carte up to nine wedding insurance coverage options they want and may need. In addition to cancellation and additional expense, the coverage options also include gifts, jewelry, loss of deposits, photographs and video, professional counseling, rented property, special attire and personal liability and medical payments.

Weather is the biggest offender causing wedding cancellations. If a hurricane, snowstorm, ice storm, tornado or airport closure forces you to move or postpone your destination or travel wedding, Wedsure. com wedding insurance pays all the nonrefundable expenses you incur, including the honeymoon.

Having a Plan B can save you plenty of ups and downs on the emotional roller coaster if something turns your dream wedding into

a nightmare. For example, if the wedding gifts were to be stolen from the reception, wedding insurance can help protect you from experiencing grief.

“If the photographer fails to appear, or he does show up and takes pictures but is nowhere to be found several weeks later when you want your wedding photo proofs, the policy will pay to restage the wedding,” says Nuccio, who is the author of the policy. “This includes flying everyone back, putting them up in hotels, feeding them, redressing them, rebuying the cake, rebuying the flowers, rerenting the facility, rehiring a photographer and flying everyone home.

Basically photographs and video coverage will pay to recreate the entire fairytale just for the photographs.”

Planning a wedding takes a lot of time and energy, especially when you and many members of the family have to travel for the event. While a disaster could disrupt the dream event, it doesn’t have to cause you financial devastation. Be prepared with a Plan B and anticipate that this special time of your life will proceed just like it did in your childhood dreams.

(ARA) - Getting married is a dream. Who hasn’t fantasized about the dress, the jewelry, your dad walking you down the aisle, the music, the cake, the reception following the ceremony?

Because people travel so much these days, weddings aren’t always local any more. Destination weddings on the beaches of Hawaii or the Bahamas, or in a castle in Scotland or even in a 900-year-old bed and breakfast in Ireland are extremely popular, which can make planning a bit more difficult due to the distance. Often couples are not able to travel to the wedding location prior to the ceremony to get everything organized, and rely on telephone and email conversations.

Not being able to directly interact face to face with wedding organizers at the church and reception hall, and vendors who will be handling the cake, photos and flowers, to name a few, can make planning a bit more of a challenge.

Wedding dreams can turn into nightmares well before the wedding – your wedding dress shop, the caterer or even the venue goes out of business – or the day of – a tornado strikes the church where the wedding was to be held. But sometimes the nightmares end up to be extremely funny stories that will be retold time and time again – and they can happen whether the wedding is taking place locally, or halfway across the country.

Stories like the bride, who shortly before the wedding, discovered her brother thought her dress

tion of foods that taste as good as they look is a wise idea over having certain foods simply because they are trendy.

Whether you are cooking yourself, having a family member serve as chef or relying on the menu of the reception hall, think about foods that will please guests and select those items, regardless of them being fancy. Here are some other tips.

• You want foods to be filling but not so much so that guests have to waddle to the dance floor. If you’re planning on several

courses, keep portion sizes small to offer a taste of the different items offered.

• Classic foods can work well as wedding fare.

Roasts, barbecued meats and favorite pasta dishes can make guests feel like they’re dining at someone’s home and not at a wedding.

• Choose items people have heard of. Instead of tornadoes of beef, select a hearty prime rib. Just because a dish sounds fancy doesn’t make it taste better. If a guest doesn’t know what he or she is eating, it can be uncomfort-

able. Now is not the time to experiment with exotic foods, either. Otherwise, some picky eaters may be left hungry.

• Think about the foods you love and see if they can be incorporated at the wedding. Although a breakfast bar at an evening event may seem funny, waffles and omelets may appeal to a greater number of guests than a gourmet fish creation.

• Don’t make vegetarians an afterthought. Too often, vegetarians must

Couples might consider something unique Over the course of their lifetimes, many people will be wedding guests on several occasions. During the height of wedding season, weddings can run into one another, as the format and the festivities are similar at various ceremonies.

Couples interested in setting their nuptials apart may want to enhance the wedding reception with a few unique ideas.

Who hasn’t attended a wedding that seems formulaic? The couple enters, they

do their spotlight dance, there’s food, a bouquet toss and then the cake cutting.

Guests may actually be able to predict what’s coming next. While it is often customary and easy to follow tradition, that doesn’t mean you cannot buck with tradition and offer a few creative ideas to make your event stand out.

Here are several ideas you can introduce into your wedding to add something special to the reception.

• Skip the big entrance.

Those who were kind enough to attend the ceremony have already been introduced to the newly minted happy couple.

Instead of spending the cocktail hour in the isolation of the wedding suite, mingle with your guests from start to finish. So much time is spent posing for pictures or being out of touch with guests, the cocktail hour can be a great time to sit and chat. Being with guests during the cocktail hour means you don’t have to make that big entrance from behind closed doors.

Guests will have all eyes on you when you step on the dance floor for your first dance together.

• Dance to an upbeat number. Guests are expecting a slow, sappy tune. What they may not expect is an upbeat song that shows you are willing to have a little fun. If you haven’t mastered the waltz but enjoy a little quick step now and again,

feel free to choose a tune that shows your excitement and love for each other.

• Encourage couples to dance together. It’s often customary for the bridal party to join the bride and groom on the dance floor midway through the first dance. However, that leaves spouses or significant others waiting in the wings while their dates tango with groomsmen or bridesmaids.

Instead, don’t have assigned partners. Rather, encourage your bridal party members to dance with whomever they choose.

• Swap the garter/bouquet toss for something more meaningful. If you’re part of a couple who feels the garter and bouquet toss has become trite, there are other ways to create special moments in your celebration – ones that don’t single out the singletons who haven’t yet found their special someones. Use this time to present a small gift

or token of your affection to someone on the guest list who has served as a mentor or source of inspiration.

• Choose one special component as an extra goodie for guests. Some couples feel the more they offer the better guests will view their wedding. Spending more money doesn’t necessarily mean guests will have a better time. Use the bouquets of the bridal party as centerIf you want to pieces of some reception tables to bring something go above and different to your wedding. beyond the ordinary, find candy bar, a carving station one thing that you absolute- with your all-time favorite ly love and offer that at the food (even if that’s PB&J), party.

• No idea is silly, and serving any type of food in a hors d’oeuvre style can make it acceptable at a formal affair, whether that food is pizza or caviartopped crackers.

• If you have a favorite restaurant that serves delicious food, find out if they will cater your wedding.

• Just because it isn’t on the menu doesn’t mean it cannot be prepared. Talk to the catering manager and let him or her know your preferences. Provided you’re willing to pay a lit-

eat whatever the kitchen can pull together, which is usually a compilation of the vegetable garnishes from the meat dishes.

Make an effort to have a true vegetarian dish that is intricate and delicious.

• Mashed potatoes are a crowd pleaser. Serve little portions of mashed potatoes in cocktail glasses and enable guests to top as they see fit with bacon bits, cheese or chives.

tle more, there’s a good chance you can have items that aren’t on the standard catering menu.

• Think outside the box for your cocktail hour “bars.” A bread bar, a dipping station, milk and cookies service, or vegetable bar are options that go against the standard cheese and pasta stations.

Although it’s your wedding, ultimately the goal is to please the guests.

By choosing foods they will love and rave about, you’re guaranteed positive remarks on your wedding.

• Hire a live performer. Although it’s hard to beat the performance quality of your wedding song being performed by the original artist, unless you’re cousins with Celine Dion, chances are she won’t be available to sing “My Heart Will Go On” at your reception. However, a live band adds a certain level of excitement that a disc jockey may not be able to provide. Those who are adding a cultural or ethnic component to their wedding may want to hire a dance troupe or another type of performer, like a bagpiper, as an added measure of entertainment for guests.

• Let them eat ... cookies? Some people just don’t like cake. Therefore, why should a couple have to cut a seven-tiered white confection? Towers of different types of treats can be created from just about anything and serve as the perfect backdrop for that classic cake-cutting photo. A pyramid of cream puffs, stacks of brownies, a cookie castle, or cereal-cake concoctions can work. Some bakeries will decorate a “dummy” styrofoam cake, and then you can serve apple pie a la mode, if you desire.

• Stage a costume switch. Let’s face it, dancing all night in a long gown takes some stamina. As the bride, have a more comfortable cocktail dress available to switch into for the latter part of the reception. It will also add some variety to your wedding photos.

Some look for the right theme Every couple wants their wedding to be memorable. The goal of planning a wedding is to create an experience that everyone will remember for years to come. For some couples, a theme wedding is the best way to accomplish just that.

When it comes time to select a theme, the day the wedding takes place may dictate the theme. For example, if the wedding takes place on Halloween, the ideas for the theme are easy. Many other couples choose a theme that highlights a specific interest or hobby or something that is dear to them. Here are some popular wedding themes.

• Holiday: The Christmas season lends itself well to wedding planning. The colors (red, green, gold) are already established, and most churches and buildings are already decked out in holiday finery, cutting down on the amount of flowers and embellishments couples need.

Because the holiday season is so busy and a popular time for socializing, couples who want to tie the knot during this

time of year should send save-the-date cards well in advance. Another option is to have a “Christmas in July” wedding, featuring the same holiday themes but without the hectic nature of the holiday season.

• Vegas: Couples who want to tie the knot in Las Vegas but want to ensure all their loved ones can attend can recreate the magic of Vegas wherever they may be. Casino-inspired games and big buffet meals can make guests feel like they have stepped into a casino on the famed Vegas strip. In addition, an Elvis impersonator is essential to a Vegas wedding.

• TV show: Some couples elevate certain television shows to cult status. Whether it’s “Friends” or “Star Trek,” popular television shows have been transformed into festive wedding themes. Whether the idea is to go daring and exchange vows in costume or simply name reception tables according to characters or show locations, couples can include a little television fun into the event.

“I do”at Genesis

• Fairytale: Many men and women envision a fairytale wedding complete with horse-drawn carriage and the “happily ever after.” This is what makes Disney properties as well as the various castles around the world popular backdrops for wedding events. Those planning a fairytale wedding need only look to favorite stories or movies for their inspiration.

• Interest or passion: Love to climb mountains? Avid about scuba diving?

Couples who share a particular interest can include elements of this sport or hobby into their wedding. Invitations and decor can hint at the theme, and then special activities can further enhance it. Fish bowls as centerpieces may call to mind underwater adventures, while surfboard-shaped invites may set the scene for a beachside party.

Theme weddings can add an extra spice to the festivities and incorporate couples’ interests into the event -- making it even more special.
