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 March this year - and will continue over several days. So, I thought for this blog entry I'd take my inspiration from the many gorgeous colors of India, and whether you are an Indian citizen yourself or are planning on having an Indian-themed wedding whatever part of the world you're from, I hope you'll find some inspiration from my suggestions below for your own Indian themed wedding:~

Paisley is a wonderful design element which is of Indian origin (even though it's named after a place in Scotland!). There are several different color combinations of this unique, tear-dropped shape pattern which would look amazing either on wedding invitations, or even on the bride and groom's beautiful wedding outfits.

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...

Country Weddings ~ Part 1

Country weddings are a great idea not only for country dwellers, but for all those who love the down to earth, natural, organic feel of the countryside. All bride and grooms are different of course, so one couple's idea of a country wedding will be vastly different to another couple's. Some people will think, 'ah, country', and immediately envision vintage, homespun wedding favors, a farm setting with rusty old tractors in the fields and old farm equipment hanging on barn walls and horses and cows roaming around freely in the paddocks in the distance. They'll think of outdoor trestle tables with vases of fresh flowers and gingham tablecloths, hurricane lanterns hanging from surrounding trees, dogs running around everywhere and so on. Other couples may envision grand old country manors with magnificent gardens, fairytale horse and carriages, spectacular marquees with metres upon metres of tulle hanging from every corner, quaint English-cottage style garden furniture ...
