I downloaded the template but I want to make it look nicer.
I’m making CD Wedding Favors and would like some kind of art in the background.
Thanks.
I would use the theme of the wedding or picture of place or the colors used in the wedding party

At a wedding…what are a few good songs to use while the bride is walking down the aisle?
And also, some good songs played for the bride and groom’s first dance?

I think the best thing to do is to start small. I want to just start with selling my Sweet Potato Pies. Where should I advertise? How can I get business? Any other tips are appreciated.
First and foremost congratulations on making the first step in starting your own business. What you can do initially is give away samples of your pies. Yes, I said give away! 
) If only your family and friends know how wonderful your pies are, then business will be slow. If you have any small restaurants in your area, ask management if you can have a sample day to get the word out about your pies. Another idea, make pies for friends and family to take to work. When their coworkers rant and rave about the pies make sure business cards are ready. Now another form of advertising could be Craigslist. You can advertise your sample day and not only will you be helping yourself out but also the restaurant that will help you. I hope this helps…Good Luck to ya!
I need a printer that’s capapble of printing hig-quality digital images for wedding/modeling photography.
I have a SonyA350 dslr if that has any relevance to anything?
thanks (:
You didn’t mention how much you were willing to spend. The Epson PictureMate Charm PM 255 is relatively inexpensive and prints very nice photographs.
I have been looking online trying to find a location for the wedding and reception. Every website I get is either not in Lakeland Fl or does not offer any information. The two biggest requirements I have are indoors and affordable.
Do they have community centers there that can be rented that is what we are doing. got it for $200 7 am to midnight. I am in NC
I am getting married this April, and are exchanging our vows in the reception hall. I need some ideas as to what kind of decorations we should have where we exchange the vows. I don’t want to do it in the middle of an empty dance floor.
Have a wooden lattice covered in flowers.
Vases with flowers on pedestals
Aisle of tea lights and other candles reaching to the end with a unity candle.
I’m wanting to find a good place where I can order boxes of wedding flowers online for a wholesale price, and put them together myself.
Know of anywhere good?
There is not a Costco in my city or state. There IS a Sam’s club, but I’m not sure how their prices compare. I live in Oklahoma City, just FYI. That’s one of the reasons I was hoping I could order via the internet.
The greatest place to get the best deals is believe it or not, your local supermarket. Big Y, Super Stop ‘N’ Shop, Stop ‘N’ Shop, and Shaws grocery stores all offer discount flowers at a wholesale price that you can make the bouquets out of. That’s what I did for my wedding and they looked beautiful. You would have never known where they came from. It saves you a bundle
I had gotten all of mine from a Shaws grocery store and b/c I am crafty was able to make gorgeous bouquets ands added some beautiful ribbon I had purchased as well. Any grocery store with a florist section will do this for you. They all will provide you with a huge florist book to go through to see what you want. Every type of flower and color imagineable. They all also offer delivery if needed. Good Luck!
I have been doing free work for about two years in wedding planning. I am ready to start my business. My concern is the details like, price for services, how to put by packages together if I need packages. How do I put the packages together and where to I get contracts or what do I put in them and what do I charge for my area. Help
hire a marketing firm..
My fiance and I are getting married July 26, 2008 and we have most of the planning organized.. My aunt is a wedding coordinator with her own business.. but we are just looking for one kind of decorative thing to stand out… i really didnt want to go with a theme because i would have to match everything together and remember im trying to keep it inexpensive… any ideas on what to go with the horse and carriage decorations… ?
my colors are Pink, Red, and white. its not a big wedding…. but very nice.. we have a horse and carriage built and its white its for when we march down the aisle and take our pics standing on… cant really explain it.. but it will be pretty.. someone gave me the ideas to make it look dreamy, luminous, and romantic with white lights and candles… do anyone else have any ideas…?
it will be greatly appreciated…
dont hestitate to give your input…
If your venue allows open flames, have candles, candles, candles – different heights, colors, square pillars, round pillars, tealights, floating, tapers in crystal candle holders etc…. to add sparkle, you can place them on mirrors of various shapes & sizes – the light reflects and it is gourgeous!
You can accent the tables with fresh or silk rose petals. If using fresh, the best thing to do is keep them on the roses until shortly before the reception – break off the blooms of the roses and sprinkle them on about an hour before the reception (you will probably need to ask a friend to do this,) That will keep the petals looking fresh all evening.
If you are not able to have open flames you can go with battery candles. If you don’t care for the way the battery operated candles work, here’s a trick. …
Buy mid-quality pillar candles of various heights, colors, etc.. – you don’t want to go with low end because they won’t burn nicely and you don’t want to go with high end because they will take forever to burn for this project – Since you have a year, you have plenty of time to prepare for this – burn the pillar candles long enough for the centers to drop down 1.5 to 3 inches – take battery operated tealights and place them down inside – you will have the look of a lit pillar candle without an open flame and you won’t be able to see the battery operated candle. You can experiment – it is lovely.
White lights wrapped in tulle is lovely to. You can use it to wrap columns, to accent tables such as the gift table, place card table, entrances etc…
A very nice touch is to make sure you carry over your decorations into the restrooms – in this case, candles and petals. It’s something that really gets noticed. You can also place courtesy baskets in the restrooms – nail files, tissues, hair spray, lotion, mints etc…. The guests LOVE it!
Best wishes!!
