With tough economic times casting a shadow on everything extravagant, it’s quite a challenge to plan a beautiful bridal shower without breaking the budget. However, this doesn’t have to be a dead-end, for you’ve got a great opportunity to use your creativity to create a bridal shower that will knock the bride’s socks off. Not sure where to begin? Read on for some great tips to make your bridal shower an unforgettably marvelous one!

EBridalShowers suggests that you recruit friends and family that are familiar with the bride to assist you in planning the shower so that you won’t be overwhelmed with planning duties. Once you’ve got your crew together, you now need to tailor your party to fit the bride’s tastes. According to Carisa Silvesan of Associated Content, everything from the guest list to her favorite colors must be considered when planning the bridal shower. Do also make sure that the date that you’ve chosen for the event doesn’t conflict with the guests or the bride.

With that said, three months is an ample amount of time for you to have everything ready without a hitch. It’ll give you time to create your own bridal shower invitations using high-end paper from a deluxe paper store such as Kate's Paperie, while snagging your party gift bags from your local dollar store. What’s more, you can stuff these goodie bags with our Yazzie & Co. stylish bridal tees – party favors that both the bride and her guests will surely enjoy! In addition, you can purchase a delicious sheet cake from your local supermarket and have it personalized for the party. That way, you don’t have to slave over a hot oven, nor spend beaucoup bucks for a fancy cake. Tasty hors d’oeuvres and refreshing drinks are just the thing to spice up this bridal shower without going overboard with the cuisine and the spending.

If you’re worried about spending big on a bridal shower locale, take EBridalShowers up on their suggestion by considering having it at a relative or friend’s beautiful garden or home. If you prefer to not travel back and forth between places, you can always have the bridal shower at your home. Also incorporate the bride’s taste in music and her favorite colors into the event by using your music collection and using decorations that can be found at your local dollar store. According to EBridalShowers, you can pick and choose inexpensive flowers to spruce up your locale so that it’ll be able to glow with that special touch.

Above all, you want to make sure that the bride will be able to enjoy herself while allowing yourself to have fun as well. Your intuition and willingness to turn this experience into an adventure is a great way to guarantee that you’ll have a wonderful memory as well. In turn, we at Yazzie & Co. wish you happy planning and the best of fun in putting that beautiful bridal shower together!

Ring in the New Year with a Wonderful Wedding!

Hello, everyone! We at Yazzie & Co. hope that your holiday season is going extremely well. Since the end of the year is less than two weeks away, we think that having a New Year’s wedding is the perfect way to celebrate new possibilities in a way that will be symbolic and enjoyable to everyone involved. Exchanging heartfelt vows as your guests pledge to carry out their resolutions will inspire all to gain a new perspective on life and love together. So, how to put together this sensational celebration of new life on one of the most memorable occasions of the year? Read on for some great tips on how to pull off a fabulous New Year’s wedding!

You can begin by thoroughly compiling your guest list. After narrowing it down to those that you’d love to share your big day with, send out your invitations at least three months in advance to allow your guests to mark their calendars for the special occasion. While almost any location can be transformed into a glamorous wedding setting, we think that a reception hall or a heated rooftop space would make for great picks for a New Year’s wedding. Whatever locale that you decide to choose, you should reserve the space for the night allow for an evening wedding and the customary ball-drop at midnight. Not only will your guests share in the love that the New Year promises, you’ll also be free to carry on throughout the night without having to acquiesce to the next wedding-party-in-waiting.

A New Year’s wedding is also a great chance to go full-scale on the elegance and sophistication by adopting a glamorous black-tie theme. While many weddings have been planned as such on any day of the year, there’s something magical about the anticipation of a new beginning amid the glitz and style. You can demonstrate that by decorating your space with bold black, gorgeous gold, and splendid silver while including radiant red roses and wonderful white roses. The groom and his groomsmen will look splendid in debonair black tuxes, while the bride and her bridesmaids are guaranteed to glow in long satin gowns and glittering jewels. To cap off the overall cosmopolitan look of the evening, include tasty hors d'œuvres and sparkling gold wine as a part of your New Year’s wedding menu.

In turn, you can present your guests with some of the most sumptuous party favors in honor of your new life together and the New Year. While small champagne bottles are always a winner, you can also be creative by gifting your guests with chocolate fortune cookies that include New Year’s wishes or little silver or gold bells that are emblazoned with your new married name and husband’s name to ring in the New Year. If you’d like to show your bridesmaids your gratitude, you definitely can’t go wrong with hooking them up with one our Yazzie & Co. bridal tees. One thing is for sure in having a New Year’s wedding: you’ll surely be blessed with a night to remember!

Happy New Year,

Seasons of Love: Planning That Perfect Wedding

Hey, guys! Timing is everything and we at Yazzie & Co. want to make sure that you choose the time of year for your wedding that speaks to you as a person. Thus, we are dedicating our latest blog entry towards helping you choose your ideal season to jump the broom. After all, it’s only fair that you consider the beauty of a winter wedding, spring nuptials, a summer ceremony, and a fall marriage before making this vital decision.

With Christmas around the corner, it’s only fitting that we start off with suggesting a winter wedding wonderland. While the cold weather can be daunting to some, it also presents the perfect opportunity for an old-Hollywood style celebration. The magical glow of the falling snow will definitely complement a white and red rose-decorated location. Choose an antique manse to get married in while making an entrance in the finest white silk dress and matching fur wrap and you will definitely make it a wedding to remember.

If you want your big day to represent a rebirth, then we suggest that you look into having your wedding in the springtime. While the unpredictable weather can be a bit trying, the promise of a new beginning will inspire you to express that with a pastel color scheme in a majestic church – a la Easter Sunday. What’s better, you will have a wider pick of vendors, for spring isn’t as busy a season as summer. Include fresh foods like apricot delicacies and baby asparagus and your special day will surely stand out.

While summer’s warm weather makes it the top season to get hitched, it is the endless choices in wedding venues that you have to look forward to. From a beautiful celebration in the park to a sunset wedding on the beach, there are countless ways to prepare an elegant bridal ceremony. In addition, you can dress your bridesmaids in classy cocktail dresses or simple strapless numbers. Truly the most relaxing time of the year, a summer wedding represents peace and tranquility.

Last, but not least, an autumn wedding is ideal for those who want the special occasion to symbolize intimacy. If you’re determined to avoid the hoopla of an overblown celebration, you can have your wedding at a cozy inn or simple vineyard. Decorate your bridal location with fall jewel tones such as red and orange, while offsetting them with neutral hues such as cream and off white. Delicacies such as warm apple cider and pecan pie will complete the warmth of a fall wedding.

We’ve shown you the best that each season has to offer; now it’s up to you to plan that soulful wedding that brings the best of your sophisticated self. Keep checking us out at Yazzie & Co. and we will continue to provide great tips on how to have your ideal wedding.
