The bride has one, the groom the extra and their two beamed candles beam the third candle. This is done to represent the impending together of the two citizens to make one element In some alternate methods, family members are invited to participate in the harmony candle beam often the mothers of the bride and groom, or other close members of the relatives Each family then beam a candle, and together they beam the harmony candle to symbolize of the impending together of the families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, here are a few twists you can add to this rather conventional aspect of a wedding ritual You can provide each companion an unlit candle when they arrive at the ritual After the couple beam the harmony candle, they can ask the companion to move to the front of the church (or wherever the ritual is being held) and beam their candles with the beamed harmony candle. This can take a bit of time and power be best with a minuteer company inventory But it is a&lt;br /&gt;important way to not only get your companys caught up in the ritual itself, but also symbolize the combination of family and friends with the marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If here is a large company list and it would be a prohibitive waste of time to do a candle beaming linking everyone at the ritual, some brides and grooms like to bring the harmony candle to the reception. beam the candle another time and provide each company with a minute votive candle (the candle possessor will be on the tables at individual table settings). As companys come into the reception area or hall, they can beam their votive and take it to their table to place into the votive possessor. This minute votive candle can double as a wedding favor, particularly if you decorate or enhance a plain votive candle possessor in some way to coordinate with your wedding.Of course, you can forget having a harmony candle at the ritual altogether. Many brides these days are trying to reduce the length of the ritual and spend more time planning the reception. In that beam, some choose to do away with a harmony candle altogether. You can certainly do this, or you can cut it out of the ritual and make it part of the reception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To do this, you can use the votive candle option suggested above, or you can simply incorporate the harmony candle beaming into the reception activities themselves. For example, you power choose a quiet moment in the reception to have a beaming of the harmony candle. It power be during a short prayer prior to the serving of the meal, or right before the cake is cut. In this case, the harmony candle can then be used as decoration on the cake table. As the bride and&lt;br /&gt;groom cut the cake and pieces are served to companys, the candle can also serve as a reminder of the couple's new bond and that the bond is shared with all the companys as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although having a harmony candle at the wedding or reception isn't necessary, it is certainly an option that many brides and grooms opt to include. But it's important to remember that as with so much surrounding wedding planning here are ways to make it unique and interesting and special to the couple getting married.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title/><link>http://weddingtipsplanner.blogspot.com/2007/01/upcoming-of-bridal-event-on-2nd-to-4th.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dechen Lau)</author><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jan 2007 20:38:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822895.post-3110666381742570983</guid><description>&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLtVBARdgZMs_wChvy7qZXt7G8JbkcFeMEb4tdRqOK_VoSNsOHIfytsjflD-NXripq35nneqduyJRSLOb6I_fgrk-AhzDzyvMHaGp-S29ZbEoJbN8G42Ux4aCzctvQe7d4PQQIA/s1600-h/Fed_Poster07_WeddingV3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023826200888615602" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLtVBARdgZMs_wChvy7qZXt7G8JbkcFeMEb4tdRqOK_VoSNsOHIfytsjflD-NXripq35nneqduyJRSLOb6I_fgrk-AhzDzyvMHaGp-S29ZbEoJbN8G42Ux4aCzctvQe7d4PQQIA/s320/Fed_Poster07_WeddingV3.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Upcoming of Bridal Event on 2nd to 4th Feb that will be held in Mid Valley.Federal Hotel is having a promotion and are giving a very special package for wedding couples on reservation for wedding dinner reception.Click on the picture to see the offer</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLtVBARdgZMs_wChvy7qZXt7G8JbkcFeMEb4tdRqOK_VoSNsOHIfytsjflD-NXripq35nneqduyJRSLOb6I_fgrk-AhzDzyvMHaGp-S29ZbEoJbN8G42Ux4aCzctvQe7d4PQQIA/s72-c/Fed_Poster07_WeddingV3.JPG" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title/><link>http://weddingtipsplanner.blogspot.com/2007/01/bridal-bouquet-activities-when-bride.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dechen Lau)</author><pubDate>Tue, 2 Jan 2007 00:33:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822895.post-3047829500725345930</guid><description>Bridal Bouquet Activities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a bride orders her wedding bouquet, it might not seem that any "activities" will come from it other than as a thing for the bride to hold. But the bridal bouquet can be the source of many interesting activities and meaningful gestures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During there ceremony there are all kinds of possibilities. Certainly you can go traditional and have a flower for both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. The moms, in particular, love this activity and guests usually appreciate it as well. But what if you turned that traditional gesture on its head and supplied flowers for both the mothers and the fathers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the bride supplies flowers to both the men and women, there are a couple of ways to do this. What if dad's flower was enclosed in a verse that he will then get up and read at the ceremony? What if it was a flower to recognize the members of the family who have passed, and it gives dad an opportunity to recognize those family members?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the bride chooses not to have a unity candle, but wants some gesture like it, she can have her bridal bouquet designed by having several small bouquets put together. At an appropriate time during the ceremony, the bridal bouquet is "broken up" and various people might receive a share, such as the mothers and fathers of the bride and groom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if the bride wants to hang onto her bridal bouquet during the wedding ceremony, but is willing to have some fun with it at the reception, there are a few options there as well. How about a dance involving the bridal bouquet? This is silly, but fun. The bridal bouquet is on display somewhere near the dance floor and guests must guess a flower that's in the bouquet before they can enter the dance floor. The first few guests might not have a problem as some flowers are obvious, like roses and tulips, but others might give people pause. Of course, this won't work if the bridal bouquet is all roses or some other single and obvious flower but for a traditional mixed bouquet, it can work well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a naughty touch, the bride can hide her garter in the bridal bouquet and actually put it on her leg before the groom takes it off. Or she can have a couple of breakaway bouquets that are wrapped in garter belts, so hers doesn't get thrown, but instead the tiny bouquets with garter belts attached are thrown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes time for the bride to throw her bouquet, there are several options. Some brides choose not to keep their bouquet and simply pluck one flower out of it before chucking the whole thing during the bridal bouquet toss. This is an alternative to having a special bouquet set aside for throwing, and there are others as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are there are a lot of single women coming to the wedding? Maybe one thrown bouquet won't be enough. Many brides these days are opting for something a little more fun. There are a few options, really. One popular option is to have the florist create several small bouquets and then bundle them to look like one bouquet. They are tied lightly with a ribbon. When it comes time for the bouquet toss, the bride unties the ribbon, and throws the "bouquet" which is actually several little bouquets. Several women will catch the bouquet, rather than just one.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><title/><link>http://weddingtipsplanner.blogspot.com/2006/12/active-wedding-reception-games-weve.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dechen Lau)</author><pubDate>Sun, 24 Dec 2006 00:55:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822895.post-116695059141343839</guid><description>Active Wedding Reception Games&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've all been to receptions that are standard - we welcome and celebrate the new married couple, watch them dance, and enjoy cake with them. But creative couples often enjoy coming up with fun games that include the entire guest list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Including the guests is an excellent way to get people out of their chairs, meeting people they might not otherwise know and feeling like they are truly a part of the celebration, not just observers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One fun and active game that can be played by all your guests, including grandma as well as the young children, is "want it now".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this game, you designate a master of ceremonies (if you have a DJ for your wedding reception, this person can serve as the DJ). The MC will have a list of "wants" prepared before the reception. Everyone sits at their tables, and waits to hear the command. The MC says he wants a person with painted toenails. All the women with painted toenails run to the front of the room, toward the MC. Each time a table sends someone to the front first, they get a point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Points should be tallied during the course of this game and prizes awarded at the end of the game. Be sure to have some obvious "wants", as is the painted toenails, or a man with a mustache or a child with a pink dress. But also include some surprises, like "a man with a brown purse" which will require a man to find a woman at his table with the brown purse and run up to the front of the room with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another fun wedding reception game that includes all your guests is musical chairs using men as the chairs. All the men line up and kneel on one knee. The women begin playing the game of musical chairs, but when the music stops, they must find a knee to sit on. No "chairs" are removed during the version of the game, but instead people are eliminated when either the man falls down when the woman finds his knee or when the woman falls down. Both are out either way, and if both fall down, they are also both out then (as well as perhaps a bit bruised). This is a fun game that often brings on gales of laughter and adds to a relaxed reception atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If many guests are traveling a good distance to the wedding or don't know many other guests, it's always fun to include a game that will allow them to now only get to know each other but the bride and groom as well. For this game, you'll need a MC again, which can be a very outgoing member of the wedding party or the DJ. The reception guests are broken into two groups, which can be as simple as having people count off "1, 2, 1, 2" and so on until the entire guest list is either a "1" or a "2". Then the two groups band together for the duration of the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DJ, or MC, offers a series of questions relating to the bride and groom. The teams should work together to answer the questions, then as quickly as possible provide the answer. The bride and groom will confirm if the answer is correct or not. This is an excellent way for otherwise "stranger" guests to get to know one another and have some fun in the process. It's also an excellent way to get to know the bride and groom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organizing games at a wedding reception is a great way to get people involved and make them feel they are truly a part of the celebration. It's also a way to fill time, if the wedding planners know this isn't a "dancing" group or if you want to loosen people up for a long night of celebrating. Whether a small or large wedding, reception games work for just about any group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, don't assume wedding reception guests will be offended or annoyed by these active games. Most people report to wedding planners they truly enjoy being more active and having fun games to play during a wedding reception.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title/><link>http://weddingtipsplanner.blogspot.com/2006/10/4th-kl-wedding-expo-2007-mid-valley.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dechen Lau)</author><pubDate>Sun, 29 Oct 2006 22:10:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822895.post-116218891180436457</guid><description>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6735/1293/1600/4kl-wed_06.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;4TH KL WEDDING EXPO 2007 MID VALLEY EXHIBITION CENTRE2ND-4TH FEBRUARY 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE ONLY MOST COMPREHENSIVE MULTI-CULTURAL WEDDING EXPO OF THE YEAR!HareNet Communications Sdn Bhd &amp; Bridal Guide for Brides &amp;amp; Grooms are proud to host the 4th KL Wedding Expo 2007, Kuala Lumpur’s premier wedding event showcasing bridal ideas by KL most elite multi-cultural wedding specialists all under one roof.&lt;br /&gt;As there is a step of rise along with the Malaysia overall economy and the employment rate, the trend of escalation in the number of married couples should be continued in 2007.
