Lighted Wedding Decorations
Published May 16, 2011 | 
If you are having a late reception, lighting will sure be a necessity. However, you have the means to turn this necessity in your advantage by creating spectacular decors, either for an outside or on inside party.
Where can you use lights?
There is always the opportunity of electrical lights. You might consider a rich chandelier hanging from the ceiling as a center of some special ceiling decorations. Alternatively, you can use special lighting, like the one for the Christmas trees, to cover the ceiling from one corner to the the other by creating a very romantic atmosphere.

In addition, light sources can be placed on walls, with metal or paper lanterns but, most important, on tables as centerpieces. Mastering this technique could serve you for marking the dance floor or the swimming pool in case you are that lucky to have one. As for the candles, they must be the first thing that crossed your mind when you thought of lighted wedding decorations.
Ceiling and walls
Ceiling decorations are not something that many couples consider. Therefore, it would be wise for you to do so. As I already suggested, you could take advantage from a special chandelier or you can choose to drape the ceiling with folds of semitransparent fabrics. And this is the part where light interferes since you should place blinking light strands beneath them and the visual effect will be gorgeous. For the walls, you get to choose between paper lanterns, old – fashioned metal lanterns with gas, pies or candles in special holders depending on your wedding theme. Somewhere between ceiling and walls, columns are a beautiful and elegant accessory you might want to have. The good news is that columns can be easily decorated with light strands.
Centerpieces
One of the most beautiful and elegant lighted wedding centerpieces are crystal trees surrounded by delicate candles. The wan light will intensify the brightness of the crystal pieces resulting a breathtaking view. A simple candle arrangement with some scented candles in shades that match your color scheme, a few fabrics and flowers can also work. For a special effect, try using floating candles. Nevertheless, for any other centerpiece that includes water and glass bowls, consider adding led lights for outside usage or even the submersible type for sinking them into the water.

Choosing a colored led will give you a special colored light that your guests will enjoy. Alternatively, you can check out the market offer of diamond lights, the water activated types. What you need to learn is that you have plenty of options you can easily set.11
Fast Wedding
Published May 9, 2011 | Weddings usually take a lot of time and money, a careful planning from advance, renting locations, booking an officiant, receiving ordered items through mail and so far. Would you like a fast wedding and also relatively cheap? Here is what you should know.
Fast weddings
Fast weddings are more casual than the rest of such events and, as a consequence, less expensive. Obviously, you cannot have a fast wedding and expect for everything to be perfect or smoothly. Some of your friends might not even be able to attend on it depending of the circumstances. And you basically have two main options – a destination wedding and a backyard wedding.

Destination weddings
Destination weddings are fast from a few points of view – you are not the one to plan everything because professionals will be responsible with it and things will accelerate; you can have your honeymoon in there as well; and if you choose a destination famous for hosting weddings, such as Las Vegas, you will sure get married in no time. The problem is that you could have to pay for your friends to come or you could only say “I do” in front of who knows what paid witness. Either way, it is your personal choice.
Backyard weddings
A backyard wedding is obviously less expensive before being a fast one. The point is that you use that generous space for both the ceremony and the reception. You do not have to travel between these two and nor your guests. And you can have an early in the morning wedding, with one of the simplest buffets, or with a cocktail party at noon and then take off to your honeymoon, leaving the rest of your friends to continue the party if they feel like doing it. Having your very own location, you are not conditioned of waiting for a certain venue to be free and ministers or officiants are not that hard to find.

Things to consider
A fast wedding does not have to be irresponsible. You still need to make yourself a plan and set up a budget. A checklist would be more than necessary under such circumstances. And if you do not have too many guests, you can simply take them to a restaurant after the ceremony and spend a few nice pleasant hours while drinking and talking. Alternatively, you could get them in a bus or something like that and take them to a picnic. Finally, because everything will happen so fast, at least do not forget to have some friends taking you as many snapshots as possible.11
