How to DIY Christmas Decor

Christmas Décor

Wreath: Rather than using a traditional wreath, try making one at home out of citrus fruits. Lemons, clementines, and limes would make a refreshing color scheme for decorations. Another idea: buy a wreath and set out red markers and small cards on the table next to it, so people can write their Christmas wishes on them.

Chandelier: Use wooden quilting hoops to create a mobile that hangs over a table like a chandelier.

Curtain: Make a drape of ornaments, cut a length of ribbon one foot longer than the length of the window and hang the ornaments on it!

Centerpiece: Place holly or mistletoe in clear glass vases and use them for table decorations.

How to: Whether you use one bow or a lot of bows to add a girlish touch to your decorations for you Christmas party.   How to Make a Bow: http://www.onsuttonplace.com/2012/11/how-to-make-a-perfect-bow Jennifer Lane, A Memory Lane Event www.amemorylaneevent.com  event & wedding Planning / Coordinating / Decor / Invitations What do our clients say about us?

How to write your own wedding vows

A great way to personalize your wedding ceremony is to pen your own vows. These tips will make it easy!

First you will need permission from your officiant. While most officiants are pretty laid back about the aspects of your ceremony, but there are still some that want to use the fundamentals of a ceremony for the wedding, so it is always good to check with your officiate first. Next you will need memories as well as specific promises that you intend on keeping throughout the marriage. Once you have gotten the OK from your officiate to write your own vows, jot down some of the happiest and best memories you have with your spouse. Think in terms of anecdotes instead of adjectives for a more vivid description. Avoid clichés like; my spouse is my best friend or your soul mate. While these things may be true for you and your spouse to be they are just as typical as if your officiate had provided the more traditional language into your vows. I mean that’s the whole point of writing your own wedding vows, right? 

Next it might help to reflect on the most memorable events in your relationship, like the moment you relaxed that your fiancé was the one, or a time they really came through for you. It can always help to include a lighthearted memory, like a shared experience that makes both your and your spouse to be laugh.

 Finally, it is always good to give a few promises that you intend to see through throughout the marriage. Being specific can be a saving grace for this, but also having a balance between a serious vow and a lighthearted one is of most importance. Once you have all of your ideas and promises write them all down and rehearse them in front of a friend or family member. Remember that this should all be able to be said in about a minute. While practicing and rehearsing are good, you don’t want to practice too much. When the day comes for you to say your vows to your friends, family and fiancé; remain true to your heart and speak from within.
