  • Please Sign Here: Creative Guest Book Ideas

    Photography by Cameron Ingalls - see more at www.cameroningalls.com

    Traditional Wedding Guest Books are often perused after the honeymoon, then placed lovingly on a shelf in the couple’s home and left to collect dust until their golden anniversary. I know that this is the case with mine, at least. I often wish that we had come up with a more original way to commemorate the presence of all of our friends and loved ones on our wedding day. Perhaps if we had, we would have looked at it more than one time since then. I have collected a few ideas that fall into the “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda Done That!” category for me, and I hope that they inspire you to create a piece of memorabilia that you will treasure!

    Shades of Green
    Making their mark in 2007, Green Weddings have lead the way for 2008 trends. The spring and summer seasons are the perfect time to celebrate this top spot trend. An abundance of flowers and fruit fill the markets giving brides the advantage of buying local. Outdoor venues like gardens, meadows, farm lands and lake settings make for a beautiful natural backdrop for Eco-friendly ceremonies. And though donations made in honor of your guests are popular as green wedding favors, eco-friendly favors are also a great alternative, as you'll read later.

  • A Twelve Lemon Centerpiece

    Remember the Jennifer Aniston-Vince Vaughn movie, The Break Up, where Aniston’s character, Brooke, is furious that Vaughn’s character, Gary, only brought her 3 of the 12 lemons she needed to make her 12-lemon centerpiece? Since that movie, and since seeing a friend of mine actually put lemons in a bowl and use it as table décor, the whole concept of a 12-lemon centerpiece really amuses me.
