Quality is the first thing that you need to look for in an item that could potentially be an heirloom. Without quality construction, no item will last long enough to be in the family for generations to come.
Timelessness is another aspect to consider. When choosing items that you’d like to pass down to your children and grand children try to avoid fads and trends. Chances are, it will be a few generations before they will come back into style again. A very easy way to start a tradition that will stay in the family is with jewelry. Do you know a woman who doesn’t own a piece of jewelry with a story behind it? A good story is the start of a lasting heirloom. It’s a perfect place to begin. Just imagine yourself in 10 years, sitting on your couch with your children while you’re flipping through the photo album from your wedding day. And in all of the photos, you are wearing a Swarovski Three Point Necklace , a stunning pair of cufflinks or even a tie pin that sparkles beautifully, and is the finishing touch that really makes your day prince or princess for the day . Now imagine yourself in 30 years, standing with your child on his or her special day. Both of you are absolutely overwhelmed with anticipation for the events to come and cherishing every moment. You have tied each bow and buttoned each tiny button they are almost ready to go down the aisle when you present your gift that you wore on your big day ,NOW everything is ready ! You can make these moments happen starting today and lasting for a lifetime, not only for you but the people that you love the most!

Engagement Rings
A proposal would never be complete without an engagement ring. Engagement rings have been part of the tradition of countries all over the world. Engagement rings symbolize love and commitment to the person given with it.
Most engagement rings come with diamonds from various sizes and no other stone can be placed with it. It has been interpreted that the round and never ending shape of the ring symbolizes the never-ending love and devotion to a partner. It is also a sign of offering ones commitment to the other . There are many types of engagement rings that are sold in the market. However, there are things that need to be considered before buying one like the type of ring, the diamond, the trends that are in the market and even the value. When choosing an engagement ring, these are the things that buyers need to check on. The diamond of the engagement ring should be considered before all things. There are four areas to look for in a good diamond. They are the cut, clarity, colour and carat. When the cut is considered, it simply means the number of angles that are in the diamond including their proportions. The cut gives luster to the diamond. The fire or the shine of the diamond will depend on how many cuts are in it. The more cuts in the diamond, the more costly it becomes. Diamonds are coloured yellow in nature. The colourless ones are considered to be the most expensive and the most sought for diamonds. These colourless diamonds are very rare, which is why they are priced higher than the yellow ones. When considering an engagement ring, it is better to choose one that has a colourless diamond. Clarity of diamonds refers to the impurities that are in them. These impurities resulted from pressure, heat, and rock sedimentation for over thousands of years. Clarity of a diamond could not be judged using the naked eyes. However, those diamonds that are priced higher are considerably high in clarity. Acquiring an engagement ring may be done through cash or credit in jewelry stores. There are various types that are sold and some may come in installment plans. When buying from a jewelry store, the name and the credibility of the store should be considered. This will ensure that the engagement ring is authentic and has a very good quality. There are also engagement rings that can be found in pawnshops where great savings are guaranteed. There are also some who use an inherited ring as engagement rings. These may be rings that were passed over generations. Those who have inherited these rings are considered fortunate since they surely saved thousands of dollars plus, they were able to impress their partner with this romantic approach. Engagement rings come in different trends and styles. This will depend on the taste of the person who selected a specific engagement ring. There are some who prefer the classic or the antique types of engagement rings. On the other hand, many prefer the trendy ones. The trend nowadays includes platinum and white gold for rings. You should not forget the commitment that comes with an engagement ring, no matter the price, the style or how large the diamond is in the ring. The symbol engagement rings carry should not be forgotten. It does not matter whether a ring is expensive or not, what matters is the commitment to love and devotion that should be kept once a ring is offered your partner.

Wedding plans and what goes on behind the scenes is very time consuming. Things like ordering the wedding bands, gown,suits and securing the date for the reception hall and chapel can all prove to be an ordeal, but if carefully thought out instead of leaving arrangements like this to the last minute then you can be sure of a smooth road ahead. Sometimes it is the little things that are overlooked that can cause the whole event to go pear shaped and one being is the absence of a centrepiece. Wedding centrepieces are beautiful embellishments that are extremely important. These eye catching pieces of work will add beauty where ever they are placed. Centrepieces do not have to be the centre of attention on the day but if displayed with perfection in mind then expect surrounding areas to send out volumes of high tone attractiveness especially if the centrepiece is flowers. Classical yet simple wedding centrepieces intend to evolve round flowers and ornaments. Flowers without doubt are a hot favourite for couples tying the knot because of the way the nature blooms add colour and project a lingering natural fragranced aroma. Check availability on flowers because they are seasonal and therefore your choice may have to be shipped in from another country. Have an organizer come in early to arrange all flower displays; this will give you time to satisfy your curiosity of how they will look. Remember wrong blossoms can do more harm taking away beauty instead of enhancing it. Other ideal options for a wedding centrepiece are silver candelabras. If you are considering floating candles in a glass bowl then you have a guarantee of a pretty enough sight to take the limelight. Depending on where you marry centrepieces will differ, if the wedding ceremony is to be held in the garden then consider nature for your theme. Miniature birdhouses and flower baskets are fabulous items that can be used. If after all those months of scrimping and scraping and you find your self still counting the pennies then budget wisely but do not freakout. Have fresh fruit, just as sweet smelling as flowers but this way you get the best of both worlds where you have a centre piece juicy enough to eat.

The Importance Of Music At A Wedding
There are two aspects of wedding music that need to be addressed when planning your big day. First, you may wish to select certain music or arrange for professional DJ or musicians to play during the actual wedding ceremony. But at the wedding reception, it’s pretty much anything goes when it comes to selecting wedding music, provided it’s tasteful.
Right away is the time to plan your wedding music. Good talent gets booked fast and you don’t want to end up having to select the brand new DJ with only a few weddings under his or her belt or something even worse. Booking your music entertainment a full year in advance is advisable but at a minimum, you should know who will be showing up and what he or she will be playing at least six months prior to the wedding date. For most weddings, selecting the music for the wedding ceremony isn’t that complicated because most often, has been planned by the wedding couple. When you’re researching your wedding ceremony options, be sure to inquire about any guidelines with respect to wedding ceremony music as these could possibly impact your decision. If the ceremony is being held outdoors, check for electrical hook-ups at your venue or book live musicians. Wedding music during the ceremony is basically secondary to the ceremony itself so the music is really meant to sort of ‘fill in the gaps’ during the non-speaking periods such as while guests are being seated, during the procession, while lighting the unity candles and of course the recessional. Of course, it’s your wedding and it can be custom-designed. The music that’s played at the reception, however, is going to mean the difference between a successful reception and one that’s ho-hum. And this is where things can start to get complicated. When you begin searching for wedding reception music, you’ll realize rather quickly that you have a lot of options. You can book a live band, or a DJ that’ll play pre-recorded music, or you can buy that CD full of top wedding songs and have someone act as the DJ. The later leaves little or no control and isn’t really suggested since the person is not actually a professional. It’s important that you both agree on the type of wedding music you want played at your reception. There are ‘traditional’ songs that almost always are played at certain points during the reception such as the father/daughter dance, the cake cutting, the dollar dance and so on. And then there is all the music in between. Do you want Jazz, Country, R&B, New age, Italian, Latin, Jewish-inspired, or a little bit of everything? That’s an important decision to make because the DJ you select has to be able to deliver what you want or you won’t be happy. Try to book experienced professionals for your wedding music. If booking live talent, arrange to hear a live performance before booking. Scrutinize the contract before signing to make sure all parties agree on the number of hours music will be provided and that everything that has been agreed to is in writing. Find out the cancellation and refund policy, too. At the end of the day a contract will clarify all parties roles and protect everyone involved.

It is my recommendation that you order your Wedding Invitations at least four weeks prior to mailing them out to your guests. This will allow you plenty of time to receive your Wedding Invitations and double check your order to make sure you have received everything you ordered and no mistakes were made. It will allow you enough time for a reprint is needed. It will also allow you plenty of time to address all the envelopes.
Wedding Invitations should be mailed out so that your guest will receive them at least six to eight weeks prior to the Wedding. This will allow your guest enough time to make travel plans and return the respond card you included with your Wedding Invitation. Typically the respond by date should be two weeks prior to your wedding date. This should allow you enough time to make your final preparations. You will have many other things to take care of as your wedding approaches and the last thing you need is to have to rush to get your wedding invitations addressed and mailed out. There will undoubtedly be last minute names to add and address changes to deal with so please allow yourself plenty of time to accomplish this task.

Your Engagement Ring
The announcement of your engagement to your future life partner is the precursor to the wedding itself. For a person who is deeply in love, the importance of the engagement ring takes on a great significance as the engagement ring is a forbearer of sorts for the wedding ring. The engagement ring does not and should not be relegated to an inferior ring when compared with the wedding ring.
So when you are getting engaged, it is important for you to consider some tips on getting your best engagement ring. What then is the best engagement ring? Your engagement is a declaration to the whole world that you are a couple in love, and are making a public announcement that you are serious or going steady with a view to getting married shortly. Most if not all couples getting engaged would like their engagement ring to represent such a beautiful declaration of love. Many take the engagement ring as the surety of commitment, and as long as the engagement ring is on their finger, they are keeping themselves solely for each other, and can appear as an "item". In choosing their engagement ring, they would have to decide on the material they would want their engagement ring to be structured from. Some would like to have it in gold, with diamonds, or some in white gold or silver, but by and large, this would be decided based on the question of affordability. An engagement ring can be of any precious metal with infilled gemstones, including jade or diamonds, but more important than that is the design of the ring. Connotations of love, symbols of enduring love can be designed on the ring. If the engagement ring is a pre-made or jeweller's designed engagement ring, then it is important to buy that engagement ring from reputable jewellers to avoid being overcharged by unscrupulous dealers who treat this as a once-off purchase, and so take the opportunity to jack up the price. When you purchase your engagement ring from a reputable and honest jeweller, you can be sure of a realistic price as he will want to be your choice dealer when it comes to your actual wedding, and hopefully can be your family jeweller, and to supply all your jewellery needs in the future. So when it comes to the engagement ring, first settle on the design, then settle on the expenditure, then make sure you purchase your engagement ring from the most reputable jewellery in town.
