Pool Side Wedding

It's a great idea to have a pool side wedding, especially if you and your partner love the water. Here are some tips on holding a pool side wedding.

Guests
Inform your guests about the pool side wedding and try to fit in a theme. You can go a Beach theme or a Goan theme or even a Hawaiian theme. Let the guests know in through the invitation cards what the theme will be and about suitable attire.

Create a wedsite for your wedding to let your guests know more about the theme and give their own suggestions. You can take in suggestions for decorating the place, music to be played etc. You can also let guests tell others of what they are planning to wear so people conform to the theme.

Decorations
Decorate the pool side with several lights, beach towels and lounge chairs. You can also scatter beach cushions and beach umbrellas around. Decorate the area with fresh flowers and keep a few flowers for guests to adorn their hair with. These could be roses, lilies or orchids.

Attire
If you are the bride, you can always go for a white bikini and sarong or a nice red one. Bling up the bikini with crystal work and embellishments. Wear a nice silk sarong along with this. Alternatively, you can wear a beautiful, translucent silk kurta over a bikini top and team it with a pair of silk shorts. As the groom, you can wear a good bear of beach shorts and a floral shirt. Keep a couple of swim suits and sarongs handy for guests who want to slip into something else.

Makeup and Hair
Use a waterproof foundation, concealer, blush, kohl, eyeliner and mascara, so your makeup doesn't get all runny. Use a good waterproof lipstick and lip gloss which give your lips a nice pouty look. Gel your hair to give it a wet look and dress up your curls with a flower or a flowery clip.

Cuisine
In keeping with the pool side theme, serve sea food and shrimp cocktails. Ensure that there are a lot of starters and cocktails going around to keep your guests satisfied. Try serving sophisticated cuisine like a light soufflé or a terrine. Serve light deserts such as cheesecakes and jellies.

Picturesque Fall Wedding Venues

Autumn is one of the most popular times of year to get married, not to mention one of the most beautiful. Enhance the natural beauty of a fall wedding by selecting a location as special as the season. This are some ideas for the most picturesque fall wedding venues.

Nothing says "fall wedding" quite like a rustic barn in the countryside. Think apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and the glorious colors of fall trees. This type of setting captures the special cozy feeling of fall when the crisp chill is in the air, but the sun still feels warm on your face. Play up the rustic charm of a barn wedding with lots of natural decorations. Use hollowed out gourds and pumpkins as centerpiece vessels. Graceful stalks of wheat bundled with satin ribbon make simple but elegant decorations for guest book tables. The bride can wear a dress with a texture that suits the rustic flavor of a barn wedding, such as a slubby silk dupioni gown with handmade wedding jewelry. It is sure to be a wedding that captures all the beauty of autumn perfectly.

An historic inn is another great idea for a fall wedding venue. A charming country inn is a romantic spot to host a wedding ceremony and reception. Look for an inn with lots of personality, such as wide graceful porches, Adirondack chairs on the lawn, and colorful gardens. Line the porch steps with baskets of seasonal mums for a splash of color. Greet your guests with mulled cider, and serve an elegant meal of fresh fall foods like pumpkin risotto and butternut squash. Best of all, the country inn will make a wonderful place to honeymoon.

How about a fall wedding on the side of a mountain? This is a fantastic idea for an early autumn wedding before it gets too cold in the higher elevations. Pick an overlook with a sweeping view of the valley below for the ceremony. The photos will be truly breathtaking. It may get a bit chilly, so in addition to her gorgeous gown and handmade wedding jewelry, the bride will definitely want a cozy wrap for the reception. Plan the wedding to take place when the fall foliage will be at its peak to take advantage of the best that nature has to offer in the autumn. The location will be so stunning that you will need minimal decorations.

Another very picturesque site for an autumn wedding celebration is a vineyard. How beautiful to host a wedding surrounded by lush grapevines full of the fall harvest. Let your celebration include one of the special autumn vintages made by the vineyard. Long family style tables work beautifully for this rustic-chic location. You don't have to head to Napa or Sonoma for a marvelous vineyard wedding, either. Many states have their own wine-growing regions, with little vineyards which would make ideal wedding venues.

There are many other locations which would be perfect for a fall wedding. It could be a garden, full of autumn annuals or a site overlooking a lake on a crisp fall afternoon. Let creativity be your guide to find the perfect venue for your own beautiful fall wedding celebration.

Wedding Venues - What Does Surrey Have to Offer?

Surrey is the perfect place for a beautiful, modern and romantic wedding. It can provide everything from the small exclusive, intimate venue up to the big stylish weddings which are much larger and grander.

Surrey hotels and country houses are all well connected with major rail and road routes into London and the South East of England. Heathrow and Gatwick airports are very close and major roads such as the A3, M3 and the M25 get your guests to the venue quickly and efficiently. Rail travellers are equally well supported due to the large number of commuters living in Surrey but working in Central London. Trains travel regularly into London Bridge and Waterloo stations.

The general quality of service in all of the wedding venues in Surrey is extremely high, with excellent cuisine, exemplary service and amazing attention to even the smallest detail. Brides (and grooms) will be spoilt for choice and their wedding guests will be impressed.

In order to see everything that Surrey has to offer you will need to visit the venue and talk to the staff, but review your budget first as there is a wide price variation between the different options. Be clear on the number of guests that will be attending and the style of catering that you will require. The clearer you can be in your list of requirements the easier it will be to make your choice.

Photography is important to every bride and Surrey provides some stunning locations for the perfect wedding photograph. Make sure that your wedding photographer is familiar with the venue that you choose so that they are able to get the most out of the location.

Spas are becoming increasingly common at the larger wedding venues in Surrey and are very popular with the brides as a place to relax in the hectic build up to the wedding, remember to ask about spa facilities when making your booking.
