BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

photo source: Hostess Blog

Bridal Guide is my favorite wedding magazine. It's informative, it has lots of inspiring wedding photos and they feature budget friendly items in every issue. My only complaint about this magazine is that the issues are not monthly because it's so hard waiting for each one. However, you can get a free issue here at ValueMags.com for a limited time! Hurry!

I love tea and I also love the idea of brides having a lovely afternoon outdoors, drinking tea with their bridesmaids. So, I've added a few photos that I hope will inspire you to have a little tea party in the near future.

When a bride is shopping for her wedding day ensemble, on her list is usually jewelry. Why? Because most brides already know that if she wants to look as amazing as she can be, one of the best ways to do it is with bridal jewelry. Jewelry is a wonderful way to accent an outfit every day, but on your wedding day it means so much more. The right pieces will highlight a bride's entire look and she won't have to drape herself in accessories to do it. A necklace alone can have a bride shining like the stars.



Don't get me wrong...jewelry can be expensive but there is no rule saying you have to wear real diamonds or pearls on your wedding day. You can find stunning bridal jewelry, similar to those styles you see on The Red Carpet, for you and your bridesmaids that cost far less than you'd think. Just check out the jewelry at American Bridal! You can find many necklace-and-earring sets for under $20.00! In the collection you'll see jewelry for the modern bride, lovely pearl pieces that would look magnificent with a lace gown and there's even colored bling that would have your bridesmaids looking almost as good as you do.



On your wedding day, your beauty will be certainly be on display and selecting the right accessories will go a long way. Thankfully, today, there are so many affordable yet elegant bridal jewelry options available to small budget brides like you.

The flame of a candle symbolizes romance and it's hard to find someone who doesn't appreciate the warm embrace. However, not only does it spark the fire of love but it is a standard at elegant events because they create an atmosphere that only candle-light could.



Candles are also luxurious and their subtle glow warms the heart. What better way to share the joy of your special day than with a practical keepsake that will create the same delightful ambiance from your wedding. A wonderful way to do that is by giving your guests one of these elegant candle wedding favors. They can be purchased at many wedding sites online, but I've found that they have an especially wonderful selection at AmericanBridal.com. These make the perfect gift whether you are planning a backyard wedding, a formal affair or a quiet wedding at the beach!

Add a candle to a "Spring Votive Holder" and you have the perfect decor for your Spring Wedding. If you are planning a beach-side event, the "Sea Shell Gel Candle Favors" are so beautiful your guests can't help but to love them.

Candle wedding favors are available to match any wedding theme. If you are planning an Indian Wedding, you can add a candle to this "Lucky Elephant Tea Light Holder" with the gorgeous antique, ivory finish for your wedding guests. People of India believe that Elephants are lucky creatures, especially those with raise trucks! Some believe that stroking the trunk will bring success in business or will keep them safe while traveling so they are placed on shelves or by doorways in their homes for luck and longevity. So not only would the "Lucky Elephant Tea Light Holder" from American Bridal make a beautiful, symbolic parting gift, but if you personalize them, they will be much more special!



Even if you are an Offbeat Bride you can find favors as unique as your special day at AmericanBridal.com. These "Scented Pine Cone" Candles, "Dessert Rose Cactus" Candles and "Apple of My Eye" Candles will make unexpected surprises your guests will adore.



Don't forget! When you are looking for favors for your wedding, candle wedding favors are not only practical but are a meaningful choice as well!
