Bring In The King
Instead of a DJ, bring in an Elvis impersonator for entertainment at your reception. Great for Elvis fans or anyone who can appreciate rock n roll, this reception idea is something that your guests will certainly remember!

A Power Ballad
If Elvis isn’t in the building, tell your DJ or band to play retro hits or classic rock. Choose albums from greats like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Journey, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Elvis, The Monkees, The Who, Steppenwolf, Queen, and more.

Play That Tune
Using musical place cards can be a great way to keep your guest bopping all night long. These Piano Place Card Holders can be fun or elegant, it all depends on how you like to celebrate!

Music Is In the Air
Deck out your reception space by hanging old records from the ceiling or by buying paper ones from your local party supply store.

Decked Out Duds
Spruce up your wedding wardrobe by choosing retro or rock n roll styles. From classic rockabilly couture to wild tuxes, the possibilities are endless for rock star style.

If you’ve got some creativity, a local craft store, and a sewing machine, here’s a few great do it yourself wedding decoration ideas that’ll add a touch of class and personality to your wedding this fall.

Create miniature felt leaf pillows as a great favor or for use as a place card. These favors are cute and practical, as they make for the perfect pin cushion. Attach the place card using a gift tag and a safety pin.

To tie in with your leafy theme, make your own centerpieces using silk fall colored leaves, apple scented candles, rich fall colored fabrics, and Crafty Wedding Luminaries. Another centerpiece idea is to float leaf candles and wood beads in a bowl of water. Add red, orange, or chocolate glass beads to the bottom for an extra special touch.

Finish up your day with apple wedding favors. Pick them fresh from your local orchard or get them candied. These edible wedding favors are the perfect way to end off your autumn wedding with memories that’ll last for years to come.

If the traditional wedding cake cramps your style, try these on for size:

Pie
Check with your bakery to see if miniature pies are available for each guest. Pick your favorite flavor or give out an assortment for variety. If that’s not an option, get some delicious pies and serve up some slices at your reception with a scoop of ice cream or with whipped topping.

Cupcakes
Cupcakes, like cake, are sweet and fluffy treats. Use a tower of cupcakes in place of your wedding cake and decorate them with fresh flowers, monograms, or colorful icings.

Brownies
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Serve up decorated brownies at your reception instead of cake. Make a decadent sundae by adding ice cream, nuts, and whipped cream! For a fun touch, add some sprinkles and a cherry on top.

Cookies
Perfect as a favor or a cake substitute, these Wedding Cookies are a great compliment to any wedding day. In a variety of shapes and types, you can find the perfect cookie to match your wedding theme. Bake your own or try out the custom designs from PWPOnline.com

Looking for a fabulous engagement ring? Here are the four things you NEED to know before buying the perfect diamond for your special someone:

Cut
Cut is one of the most important parts of diamond buying. The cut of a diamond dictates its brilliance. Remember, cut and shape are not the same thing. While shape is the outward diamond appearance (square, pear, round, oval, marquis, etc.), cut is the reflective qualities found internally. A good cut gives the diamond a light that seems to come from the center, creating unparalleled beauty and brilliance.

Clarity
Most precious stones, including diamonds, contain natural flaws. The fewer the flaws, the more expensive and rare the diamond. Diamonds are graded on a scale for their clarity, indicating their value and quality ranging from flawless to slightly included. Consult with a jeweler for a clarity grading on your diamond.

Color
The rarest of diamonds are truly colorless. The whiter a diamond, the greater its value. A diamond’s color refers to the presence or absence of color as a result of its composition. A trained jeweler’s eye can detect the color grade of a diamond, which ranges from colorless to light yellow.

Carat
Carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured. The greater the carat weight, the more expensive the diamond. You budget will determine the carat size of your engagement ring, so be sure to consult with different jewelers to find the right ring for your wallet without sacrificing quality. For an added sense of security, see if any of a jeweler’s diamonds are certified.

Once you’ve got your ring, start planning your dream wedding with some of these great Bridal Accessories.
