The hottest looks for Spring 2011 are Butterfly wedding favours and wedding cake jewellery! Butterflies are a symbol of beauty, purity and freedom.

Every bride wants to look beautiful and feel pure on her wedding day and it is also a time that a woman says goodbye to her past as she embarks on her exciting new future. There are so many different ways to get the butterfly theme running through your big day, although the best way is to start with some wedding reception decoration ideas.

Firstly, table linen must be pure white. The name of the game is simple and elegant. Team napkins with bridesmaids, perhaps a soft pink. Femininity is a big thing for 2011, so exploit it whilst you can.

Your groom should be quite accommodating if you assure him he only needs to wear pink in one area – his cravat/tie.

Introduce the idea of butterflies to your guests by incorporating them in hair decorations and floral bouquets for your entourage. Try to stick to one or two colours if you can, otherwise it could look tacky rather than sensational.

Ensure that when you choose the butterflies for hair, bouquets and favours, you also buy enough to act as wedding cake jewellery.

When it comes to the bride, she needs to look understated yet the star of the show. Therefore, include some suggestion of butterfly somewhere on the outfit. This may be a small silver bracelet with a butterfly on it, a butterfly pendant necklace or adorn a small butterfly hair jewel.

When it comes to the reception, the butterfly wedding favour boxes will steal the show! Keeping to the soft pink theme, go for pink favour boxes with white iridescent butterflies or soft white boxes with pink butterflies. Lay them as a place setting for each of your guests and scatter the tables with iridescent confetti.

Floral centrepieces should be sweet smelling and soft coloured – why not go for sweet peas or pink and white roses? Ask your florist to put some of your butterflies on sticks and insert them into the centrepieces. You could also jazz up the napkin rings with butterflies! The possibilities are endless.

Don’t forget the wedding cake jewellery as this will be the centrepiece for the whole event. Inspire guests with white or pale pink icing on your cake and finished with iridescent butterflies scattered all over it.

Remember, too many heavily coloured butterflies could look tacky and overpowering. Stick to simple, soft colours on your butterfly wedding favours, wedding cake jewellery, in your bouquets and in hair accessories.

Stick to these wedding reception decoration ideas and your 2011 wedding will be talked about until 3011!

Try to take a few close friends or family with you whenever you go looking for your wedding dress. It is a huge decision for you to make alone and no doubt you will need some extra help and advice along the way. If you can take some friends who give you their honest opinion, you may have some great friends who you want to help, but if they just agree with you for the sake of it then their opinion is no good. You need people around you who can support you and understand the importance of choosing the perfect wedding dress.

The majority of brides will choose white as the colour of their wedding dress without even thinking about it. But it is not your only option. Yes it is traditional but is it what YOU want? Also to live up to the dream you have do you believe that pure white will go with the complexion of your skin? Perhaps a subtle tone of beige may suit you better, or even cream is becoming a more popular option. You want a colour that will make you feel beautiful so don’t just go with tradition because you feel it is what you ‘should’ do. Go with what YOU want on your wedding day.

Remember also that at that moment when the church music starts, all eyes will turn to you. This isn’t meant to scare you! But this is what you have been dreaming of for so long so you want the moment when all attention is focused on you to be one that you are proud of. Don’t under estimate the importance of choosing the perfect wedding dress.

It is not just about organising the after wedding ceremony photos and getting everyone standing in the right position, the photographer must be in the right place at the right time so that the whole day is caught on camera.

When looking for a wedding photographer, be sure to ask for a list of references and testimonials. All good photographers will have a portfolio of clients and examples of their work. But don’t just take their word for it, get in touch with previous clients to find out how the day went with the photographer. Remember that this will be the happiest day of your life and you only have one chance to catch them special memories on camera.

If possible choose a wedding photographer who has been recommended to you by a close friend of a relative. If you have attended the weddings of friends or relatives, get in touch with them and ask if they were happy with their photos. If they were ask for contact details and if you can take a look at the wedding photos yourself.

Aside from the technical abilities of the photographer, try to find out about their attitude and reliability. You want them to take total control of the photography in a courteous manner and not cause you any additional stress or problems by being pushy or rude to guests.

In terms of price, be sure to find out what is included in the price and what will cost extra. You need to find out how many prints the wedding photographer will include for the price and what sizes they will be. Also see if you get the original negatives from all of the days photos so that you can make reprints if you wish. These may be supplied on a CD after the wedding.

Do not think that choosing a wedding photographer is a small part of the organisation of your wedding day. The photos will live on for years to come and become part of your family history particularly for your children and grandchildren. You will only have one chance to catch those special moments on film, there will be no replays or second chances. So take the time and effort to make sure that you choose the right photographer who you can trust to do a fantastic job for you.

The next step will be to look into the background of the wedding planner, check out their references personally.  Get in touch with previous clients to find out if they were satisfied with the service they received.  Write down a list of questions that are important to you both in terms of their professional qualities as well as their personal ones.  If possible find out if the wedding planner has worked on weddings of a similar scale to your own or even bigger.  If they have done so then you can be more confident that they can cope with your wedding.

When you are speaking to potential wedding planners, find out if they work alone or as part of a team.  This will prove most useful to know because if they work as a team, you are more covered if something goes wrong such as the wedding planner becoming ill.  Whereas if they work on their own then you will have major problems of the wedding planner becomes ill days before your wedding.  If they do work alone do they have a backup plan for such events?

Try and test the wedding planner’s problem solving skills and ask them a number of questions relating to problems with your wedding that may occur.  By doing this you will see how they act under pressure and also see how much experience they have of problem situations and their ability to get out of it.  Unfortunately there are many things that can go wrong leading up to your wedding day so if something does happen, you need to have the confidence to leave it in the hands of your wedding planner.

A drunk girl gets totally out of control at a wedding and destroys the marquee, she tries to pole dance but fails big style bringing the whole place down around her and the guests ears, leaving the poor bride with a bloody nose!
