As the holiday season now officially starts many brides are already about to have their holiday and winter weddings. However for the bride still planning their event, there are many other great times this winter to have their winter wedding. One great example is a January wedding. A January wedding has many advantages. It is after the bustle of the holiday season, it during the wedding off season, and you can find many interesting themes to use for the wedding. Here are some great ideas that you can use for a January wedding.

The first great idea is a New Year’s wedding. This is perfect since January is the first month of the New Year. Also New Year’s is also appropriate because they are also synonymous with new beginnings which a wedding is for you and your groom. The best part is the glamour and glitz that is possible with a New Year’s theme everyone knows the look from classic movies or seeing New Year’s Eve celebrations on TV every year. This allows you to decorate your wedding venue in a sophisticate and astounding manner that you may not be able to do as effectively with other winter wedding themes. It also does not emphasize flowers which will be a boon especially during January when most flowers will have to be imported or grown in a hot house. As you know that means higher prices that can put a stranger on an otherwise well planned budget.

One common mistake when planning a winter wedding is the belief that there are only one or two ways to interpret a winter theme. It normally falls into categories that are variations of the winter wonderland theme. This while beautiful can quickly become clich and unoriginal. This is something a bride wanting to make her ceremony and reception a special event tries to avoid. A unique idea would be to have an Arctic themed wedding. This would be a wedding that would integrate the best themes of winter with an exotic landscape. You would be able to find all sorts of interesting decorations that will make your wedding look unforgettable.

Another great idea is the Golden wedding. This one is kind of interesting. From what I gather in my research it is a great January theme because gold was first discovered in the United States in January’48 in California. The Golden theme is one tied with majestic decorations and color schemes and the best part is that you don’t have to follow the normal boring ice and snow theme. You will find yourself able to use more imaginative motifs and decorations than you would normally have available at your disposal.

A great theme that you can work with for your wedding is a black and white wedding. This is a classic and formal wedding theme with everyone being required to dress in their best formal black and white clothes. It can also be the theme for the decorations. Try to add class and elegance with contemporary designs and add some sparkle with crystal and sequin decorations. This will make your wedding a formal event that few of your guests will ever recall having in a long time.

These are just some of the great ideas that you can use for a January wedding. They will allow you to see the possibilities that are there for the person who wants to plan a winter wedding after the holiday season.

This fall a lot of “Twi-Hards” will be waiting with baited breath for the release of New Moon in theatres. The movie continues the story of Bella and Edward as their relationship faces a new set of challenges with Bella ending up in a love triangle between her, her werewolf friend Jacob, and Edward and that is just the beginning. If you are planning your own themed party based on the movie you are probably wondering what you can do to set your party apart from the rest. Here are some great ideas for Twilight themed party decorations that will be sure to make you the envy of your friends.

The very first thing you need to do is pick a venue. Will you be having a house party or doing it at a public place? This will help you know what you have to work with when decorating. Normally a smaller place is good because you won?t have to spend as much on decorations. So if you are just having a get together with your gal pals then go for intimate. If it is an all out bash go for a more public venue with added event services. This will make planning that much easier.

The next thing to think about is the Theme. New Moon is the part of the Twilight franchise where we get introduced to werewolves. However they are not like the traditional kind and are rooted in Native American legend. This alone can give you a lot of interesting ideas to work with as you start decorating. Of course your basic colors will be dictated by the book covers so you will be using red, black, and white. As I mentioned before the werewolves in New Moon are Native Americans so look online for great items you can use to decorate the venue and mix with more common Twilight themed gear. Of course try to use movie posters, posters of the book cover, and life sized cut-outs of the actors as items to decorate with. You can also use more standard party gear like balloons and streamers.

Another thing to think about is favors. Once again movie promotional merchandise is your friend. You can also go with edible favors. Since is near the time for Halloween you should be able to find some great Twilight themed candy. If you are not sure what everyone will like try having a candy bar and get nice favor boxes to put them in. You can also use other fall favorites like candied apples and pumpkin flavor pastries. You can also give stationary, diaries, pens, or party toys such as fake fangs with wolf and vampire themes.

Another thing to take into account is activities. If the party is going to be a sleep over watching Twilight on DVD or reading New Moon are great suggestions. Also try to look up cool movie themed games online. You will be amazed at some of the innovative games and activities you will find.

Of course a party is not a party without food. First try to serve some of the foods mentions in the Twilight series such as lasagna, pizza, or spaghetti. You can also have vampire themed desserts like vanilla ice cream covered in strawberry syrup. You can also have a Twilight Cake with an edible image topper.
