Ahoy me harties! It's a pirate wedding!

All aboard the good ship (er..bad ship?) Pirate for the pirate-themed wedding of the year! Are you thinking of having a wedding with a difference? The pirate wedding is very popular. It's colorful, lots of fun and your guests can really feel part of the action when they can get all dressed up in costume. It'll also give them something to talk about for years.

If you live anywhere near water, or where you can hire yachts or a boat large enough for you and your guests, why not have a wedding at sea? Well, you don't have to go all the way out to sea - just anchored in the harbour would be good enough. :)

If you're lucky enough to live near, or have access to an historical tall ship - all the better! However, not everyone can be so lucky of course, so having a pirate-themed wedding near any body of water, such as a swimming pool, lake or even creek could be equally as fun. It's all in the attitude, and decorations! Paper boats moored to the banks; the skull and cross bones flags strung up from trees; treasure chests with costume jewellery scattered around; outdoor tables with gold chocolate coins for dubloons scattered on them; barrels of 'rum' for guests to sit on - or for just part of the decorations; small scatterings of sand on the tables and centerpieces with small potted palms; plastic cutlasses and swords hanging from above or put up on walls, pirate wedding favors such as eye-patches left on the tables for your guests to wear; postcards with treasure maps, mermaids or tall ships on them; badges with 'Captain Hook' on them, or 'Pirate Queen' or king, and why not even borrow or hire a parrot in a cage for the occasion?

Wherever you choose to hold your celebration, your guests will love and appreciate these detailed little touches. The sky is truly the limit, and is bounded only by your imagination. So to get you started, here's some great pirate-themed wedding invitations and wedding favors below. Have fun, and good luck!

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...
