planning 101

I saw lots of creative ideas this week. sprayed painted shoes, a white castle wedding chapel.... It is all good, great if you know to put it together.... Informal It means a simple dress, guest list under 50, and you should keep the meal simple. It can be creative. A formal dress in an informal setting is not great..... Food If your budget is not for steak and you have to serve Miss Chicken, then fine. So just keep it in creative containers, a correct guest list count with a little extra... Creative Cakes During the 2001, there are many creative ideas for cakes. Some brides are doing dessert and skipping the cake. So with twinkies. Rent or use flat cake dollies...decorate with few dots of icing.....
