			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a bride orders her bridal bouquet, it may not seem that any &#8220;activities&#8221; will come from it other than as a thing for the bride to hold. But the wedding bouquet can be the basis of many appealing activities and important gestures.</p>
<p>During there ceremony there are all kinds of possibilities. Certainly you can go traditional and have a flower for both theMom of the bride andMom 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?</p>
<p>If the bride supplies flowers to both the men and women, there are a couple of ways to do this. What if father&#8217;s flower was enclosed in a verse that he&#8217;ll 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 torecognize those family members?</p>
<p>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 &#8220;broken up&#8221; and various people might receive a share, such as the mothers and Fathersof the bride and groom.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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 will not work if the bridal bouquet is all roses or some other single and obvious flower but for a traditionalblended bouquet, it can work well.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t get thrown, but instead the tiny bouquets with garter belts attached are thrown.</p>
<p>When it comes time for the bride to throw her bouquet,there are many options. Some brides choosenot 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.</p>
<p>Are there a lot of unmarried women coming to the wedding ceremony? Perhaps one thrown bouquet |isn&#8217;t enough. Many brides these days are looking for something a little more joy. There are a few choices. One prevalent option is to have the florist buildnumerous small bouquets and then bundle them to look like one bouquet. They are coupled lightly with a band. When it comes time for the bouquet throw, the bride unties the band, and tosses the &#8220;bouquet&#8221; which is in fact several Littlebouquets. Several ladies will catch the bouquets, rather than just one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thinking outside the box regarding the use of Unity Candles is a great way to add your own personal touch to your wedding.</p>
<p>Traditionally, the unity candle involves three candles. The bride is the bridegroom with the other, and their two lighted candles to light the third candle. This is done be a connection between two people to drive. In some alternative methods, family members are invited to participate in the unity candle lighting, often the bride and groom Motheror other close family members. Each family then lights a candle and together light the unity candle as a symbol of family reunification.</p>
<p>Now, there are some twists you can add to this fairly conventional aspect of wedding ceremony. You can give each guest to sail after their arrival at the ceremony. After the couple lights the unity candle, they can ask the guests to go on the front of the church (or, where the ceremony will take place), and candles to light the candle. This may take some time and could besuperior with a smaller guest list. But it is important not only to get your guests involved in the ceremony, but also symbolize the union of family and friends to the wedding.</p>
<p>If there is a great list of guests will be prohibitive and a waste of time to do a candle lighting ceremony involving all the some bride and grooms like to bring the unity candle at the reception. Light candle again and provide each guest with a small votive candle (the candle holder is in the tables in the table settings). As customers come into the reception area and hall, which can light their votive and take it to your table, place votive holder. This small votive candle can double as a wedding favor, especially when you decorate or enhance a plain votive candleholder in some way to coordinate with your wedding.</p>
<p>Sure, you can forget that the unity candle to the solemn completely. Many brides these days are trying to limit the duration of the ceremony and spend more time planning the reception. In this context, some chooseto sail with the unit completely. You can of course do, or you can leave it on is part of the ceremony and reception.</p>
<p>To do this, you can use the votive candle option suggestedabove, or you can simply incorporate the unity candle lighting at the reception activities themselves. For example, you can choosea quiet moment at the reception have a unity candle lighting. This could be during a brief prayer service before the meal or just before the cake is cut. In this case, the unity candle can then be used as decorations on the cake table. Since the bride and groom cut the cake and pieces are served in the guests, the candle can also serve as a reminder of a couple of new bonds and debentures, which is shared with all guests as well.</p>
<p>Although one candle at a wedding or reception, it isn&#8217;t necessary, it is certainly the possibility that many brides and grooms toselect belongs. But it is important to remember that if the around the wedding planning, there are ways of interesting andvery special and special for the couple to marriage.</p>
