How Can You Design Your Own Wedding Logo?
by Jerry Leung
Most couples want to make their wedding as unique as possible. One of the ways to make something unique is to personalize it. No one will doubt that everyone is unique and by personalizing the wedding items they should be unique to some extend.
In the design industry, there is something called brand building. By the name of brand building you will know that the idea is to build the brand for a corporation. Making a logo is one of the essential tasks in the process of brand building. The logo can help people to distinguish one company from another. Although a wedding is not the same as building a brand for a company, making a wedding logo is still a good idea to make the wedding unique.
To make your wedding items more unique, you should of course print or have it embossed on your wedding invitation. Besides, you can print them on the wedding favors. You may also make a backdrop with your logo on it for your wedding reception. In this way you can use your logo to make your wedding more unique. However, you may have a question in you mind that if you can design or make the logo yourself. The answer is certainly yes.
One of the easiest ways to make your wedding logo is to design a monogram. In the past it is nearly impossible for one do make such a logo himself / herself without the help of a professional graphic designer or illustrator. We should thank to the advance in computer technology that with the software you may use everyday, both at work and at home, you can create your own monogram wedding logo without any difficulty.
In most cases you will take your initials to make your wedding monogram. You can use just Microsoft Word to create you wedding monogram. You can try to create you monogram by composing different fonts. If you find that there is only a limited number of fonts in your computer, you can search in Google for free fonts. These "free fonts" are usually free for personal uses, you can use them without any problem.
In some cases you may want to use your full names to make the wedding logo. This will need a bit more skill and time. And in this case time is more important. If you take enough time to test various combinations of different fonts and typefaces, you should be able to make your wedding logo with your full names.
Some professional designers may think that Microsoft Word is not a software meant to be making designs. However, it should be good enough for you to make your wedding logo.
Using a monogram as a wedding logo is a good idea since it normally can deliver a sense of nobleness. However, some people may think a monogram (especially monograms in Victorian style) is too formal. You may want to go for something less formal since a wedding is meant to be fun. The followings are some concepts you may use to make your wedding logo
1 Your occupation
2 Your date of wedding
3 Your dates of birth
4 The place you two were born
The above only gives you a direction for you to start designing your wedding logo. There should be many more concepts. With your imagination, you should be able to create the best wedding logo of your own, and on your own.

7 Steps to the Perfect Wedding Cakes in Hawaii
7 Steps to the Perfect Wedding Cakes in Hawaii
by Leilani Fisher
A wedding is one of the most important things that happen in a person's life. Of course you want everything to be perfect and lovely. The cake is a very important part of the wedding, and if you're planning a Hawaiian wedding, there are many great places to get your cake in Hawaii.
It used to be that you could wait to order your cake until about four months out from your wedding. Now it's becoming more critical that you book early so you're not disappointed when the cake companies are full on your wedding date. You also don't want to settle on something rather than choose your type of cake and icing.
Try something unique like a flavored cake and icing that go together. This way you don't have to have the traditional white cake with vanilla icing or chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Even if you just mix it up by having a Hawaiian-styled white cake with a citrus flavored icing it would be a serious improvement over traditional cakes.
Cake tastings are usually available if you call in advance. This is a great chance to taste a variety of cakes and icings to better understand what you're buying for your wedding. Otherwise you may not be happy when your cake isn't what you expected and it's already been served to your guests. However, is cake really ever bad?
There are so mnay style of wedding cakes now, with squares, circles, small cakes, big cakes, etc. You can even have fully customized cakes make to look like anything you desire. They cost more, but they're really cool. Think about the flowers, cake toppers, and other decor that could dress up your cake as well. There are just so many ways to make it uniquely your own.
With tradition to the wind, you can have whatever kind of cake you like best so large or small, sweet or un-sweet, decorated with flowers or just a cake topper, it's all about you on this day. However, think of how your guests will enjoy the difference in your wedding cake from the last wedding they attended. This will have them talking about your cake for years.
Have you seen this new idea where you create a phony cake that looks good for your guests and then when you serve them cake it's actually another cake their eating? The large (phony) cake is hauled into the kitchen and then disposed while the real cake is served to your guests. It's an interesting approach to making your wedding cake unique.
Since you have to have a cake at your wedding; it's just unacceptable to expect your guests to skip cake; you can always go after the smaller cakes, sheet cakes, home-made cakes (although this can be very stressful for the baker) and ultimately you want your guests to have somethign to talk about. Whatever you decide, make sure you're happy with it. Getting married in Hawaii should bring the local ambiance into your wedding anyway, but the little additions will make it so much better.

A Guide for Wedding Planning - Some Tips
A Guide for Wedding Planning - Some Tips
by Jerry Leung
Wedding Planning should be one of the most enjoyable "works" in your life. However, many couples find that it can also be the most stressful job they have even been encountered. In fact there are a lot of tips on what you should consider when you are planning your wedding. You can just find these tips in different wedding magazines. However, how should you start this planning work?
The first thing you need to do is to involve your fiance to plan the wedding with you. Most brides-to-be will have a perception that their fiances do not really want to be involved in this job. There are even tips to get your fiance involved in the wedding planning. However, most of the time this can be just because of different attitudes of the bride and the groom towards wedding.
I have a friend who is going to marry very soon. He once told me that it is not true that he does not want to be involved in wedding planning. It is just because he wants to plan it slowly, item by item and the bride thinks that he does not really care about the wedding.
You should always discuss with your fiance about your thought. As in the above example, the bride may even need to discuss with my friend about the pace of the wedding plan. Communication is always the best way to involve your fiance in the wedding planning.
After you have a mutually consensus with your fiance, you can start get into the planning stage. As what everyone will do, you should have a brainstorming with your fiance first. You should never put any of your personal preference in this stage since it may affect all your later decisions. You may want to take reference to the idea of six thinking hats by Edward de Bono so that you can make the decision making process smoother.
After the brainstorming, you should have a list of different options for your wedding. You will have different options for your wedding theme, wedding day etc. At this stage, you need to check if your checklist misses any important item. You may take reference to different wedding magazines in order to check your checklist.
When you are sure that your checklist does not miss anything, you can start discussing with your fiance of these options and spot out the options that both of you will prefer. Of course there may be different thoughts between you and your fiance. You may want a beach wedding while he may prefer a winter wedding theme. Again, the key here is discussion and communication so that you can make a proposal on the plan that both of you will agree with.
After you make your initial decisions you can start sourcing for different wedding vendors that may help for your wedding. You will need to adjust your plan from time to time. You should always discuss with your fiance for any adjustment. With all these in mind, you will probably find the wedding planning less stressful and at the same time more enjoyable.

If this is the case, you will be looking for a style that is not too hot and heavy. Will your wedding be a fairytale style wedding? If so, you will want lots of lace and silk. No matter which type of wedding you have decided on, your wedding dress will play a major part in setting the scene.
Another important factor is what time of year are you planning to get married. If you are getting married in the height of summer, you will not want a dress with multiple layers and full length sleeves. Your wedding should be full of happy memories from the ceremony. You do not want to be thinking about how hot you got on your wedding day but rather how hot you looked in your wedding dress.
When looking at wedding dresses, you will want to try on many different types of dress. Do not just stand there in them when trying them on. Stroll around to see how comfortable they feel when you move. Try different positions of your ceremony in your dress to make sure that you are going to feel comfortable throughout the whole ceremony.
How good the dress looks is only 50% of choosing the dress. The other 50% is whether you look good in the dress. You will not be able to look good if your dress is scratchy or if it is a bit tight and you are afraid you might split a seam.
One mistake that a lot of brides tend to make when choosing a wedding dress is with the size. If you are planning on losing weight before your big day, do not buy a dress the size you think you may be come the wedding day. Instead buy the size you are on the day you choose the dress. It will always be easier to take a dress in if it is too big, than to add material for a dress that ended up being too small.
With the expense of weddings, some couples try and cut back by making their own flowers, having a family member bake the wedding cake or hiring a friend to take wedding photos. Although it is okay to cut back and still have your dream wedding, don't skimp when choosing your wedding dress. If you cannot afford to hit a wedding boutique and pay their prices, try wedding consignment shops, who offer 'like new' dresses at an affordable price.
It does not matter what the style, color or cost of the dress is, just remember that you are who your intended fell in head over heals with, not your clothes. All the dress will do is help accentuate all those aspects of yourself that he fell in love with in the first place.
After you have chosen your wedding dress hang it in the bag it comes in and do not over show it. Give guests something to look forward to as they see you for the first time walking down the aisle. And unless it is unavoidable, do not let your future husband see your dress at all before the wedding. It's bad luck!
