Urgent Message about our Web Site

Apologies, but all of our websites are down for the count at the moment. This affects www.graphicallusions.com and www.the-elegant-wedding.com. Not only is there a seriously bad bug at the server side end at Zazzle (We use their Zazzle Store Builder feed for both websites) but of all times, our hosting ISP has decided to take today to migrate our websites to another server! So, apologies again, but this is something sadly out of our control. Fingers crossed everything is back up and running asap!! In the meantime thank you all for your support! Needless to say, there will be no blog update this week for the Elegant Wedding. :-( However, please return next week for our country wedding special, Part 2: Maldon, Victoria.

Steampunk Weddings

First of all apologies as this week's update is a little late! First of all there were hassles with my web host (hosting the www.the-elegant-wedding.com) and then the Easter Bunny arrived, with the holidays she brings (not to mention the Easter eggs!) however we're here to talk about weddings of course, so without further ado... This week I thought I'd write about the steampunk theme. What is steampunk? For those who don't know or have never heard of this theme before, think Victorian era meets science fiction...think Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Terry Pratchett, the latest incarnation of Sherlock Holmes in the movie theatres with Robert Downey Jr... It's Victorian dress crossed with technology and industrial machinery like steam trains and flying machines, lots of brass, copper and metal offset by velvet and lace - what a combo! And, it has a huge following. So, for couples out there who want a Steampunk-themed wedding, there are some great resources out there online

Apologies but the host for our website is migrating servers and we're offline atm. Hopefully back soon! Have a great Easter everyone!

Indian Weddings

When I first sat down to write this blog update, my original idea was to write about Asian weddings, but while I was doing my research quickly discovered that the Asian wedding market is huge - too big, in fact, for one little blog update. Why is that? There are really no such things as 'Asian Weddings', because Asia is after all, a continent (well, with a few islands thrown in!) with several different cultures and traditions - not to mention several more cultures and traditions within each particular Asian country as well. So, for this week's update, we'll focus on the beautiful country of India, and will feature several more Asian-themed weddings from other Asian countries over the coming months. O.k. so to India. When I think of India I think of one word: color. India has to be the most colorful nation on earth. The magnificent Indian Color Festival otherwise known as Holi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi is a tradition which will be celebrated from the 27th Marc
