Quill Design

San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 29, 2009

WedShare.com, an online service that allows engaged couples to set up their own personal wedding website, has joined forces with green media company Portovert LLC., publisher of WedVert.com. WedShare and WedVert eco-designer Yoko Chapman have collaborated to provide personal wedding website designs matched with the very first 100% carbon neutral stationery line.

“We are really seeing a trend in young couples today being more environmentally responsible,” says WedShare.com president Jason Melendez. “They take the extra time to seek out eco-friendly alternatives when making their wedding planning decisions. It speaks to their character, and we’re more than happy to accommodate these choices.”

Melendez says WedShare.com had already planned on matching print stationery to its website designs, and that it chose to partner exclusively with WedVert to make its own statement on environmental responsibility.

“The stationery line is beautiful,” Melendez says. “It just goes to show that you can make a big impression on your guests and not on the environment.”

Portovert LLC., publisher of WedVert.com and the WedVert print magazine, was launched in 2007 as the first wedding resource to focus completely on green efforts, helping to prevent the tons of waste produced annually by weddings. Their “eco-chic” options are geared towards going green without sacrificing the importance of saving cost and a beautiful end result. Both Martha Stewart and the New York Post have described WedVert as a leader in its efforts.

With their first line of matched website designs and stationery now online, WedShare and WedVert also plan to offer free wedding websites as an added bonus to engaged couples, as well as new website and stationery designs coming soon to a green wedding near you.

Wedding Invitation Design Handbook

Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 2, 2010

An innovative company, 983 Wedding, has been providing personalized wedding invitations online since 2006. They are now ramping up their service with an attractive new ebook, Wedding Invitation Design Handbook. While the company can set the correct tone for any wedding with their range of papers, colors, and designs, the Handbook shows engaged couples how to create memorable personalized wedding invitation cards. Even more to the point, the Handbook guides the bride and groom away from the standard blunder of those planning a wedding.

As the chief designer of 983 Wedding, Jerry Leung, say, “In my career as a wedding invitation designer, one issue I find it quite common to the couples is that they do not have a main idea before they actually start.” This is the most crucial decision to be made once the biggest decision – to get married – is made. The colors, date, location, flowers, music and reception should all flow out of the main concept of the wedding. “Concept generation should be considered one of the most essential parts in the process of design. And you should spend time on it when you design your own wedding invitations.”

In the process of planning the wedding, developing the personalized wedding invitation cards allows the couple to work out many of the details of the wedding as they establish the theme and design of the invitations. The Wedding Invitation Design Handbook takes the offerings of the 983 Wedding one step farther. The Handbook unfolds three concepts of invitation card design. The concepts are unusual, creative, and elegant. Best of all they show ways that each couple can create invitations that are tailored to their own family culture, history, and personality. The author states, “There is no such a thing as a universal formula when you are designing the wedding invitations.” However, couples will still be able to create their own unique wedding invitations with the suggestions from the Handbook.

983 Wedding can create delicate, layered, classy invitations for any wedding. The Wedding Invitation Design Handbook takes their service one step closer to any couple’s heart by providing the necessary information for self-expression along with guidance towards the need for a strong wedding concept. The invitation is the first public appearance of the wedding couple and that appearance is judged by the look and design of the invitation.

Fall/Winter 2011 Issue

New York City, NY (PRWEB) August 25, 2011

The luxury-filled Fall issue of Munaluchi is available online today at munaluchibridal.com with free shipping anywhere in the US. The romance begins with celebrity wedding designer Preston Bailey’s dreamy dress of orchids, hydrangeas and roses. “I’ve always had this fantasy of creating the ultimate bridal gown of all blooms” reveals Preston. Bailey also advises on how to choose an event designer. “The relationship is a very personal one and one must choose very carefully to ensure (the designer) is truly able to interpret your style.”

Also in this issue, David Tutera, wedding planner to the stars, shines the Munaluchi spotlight on the debut of his new line of bridal jewelry. “Finding the right ring, for the right moment, with the right style,…is not easy to do…that’s why I created this line.” Tutera tells Munaluchi. The collection includes four distinct themes offering a bride diamonds that will make her vows feel forever special. What makes these truly unique, says Tutera, is the blue sapphire inset in the inner band to honor the tradition of “something blue”.

Platinum selling singer Ameriie shares how she made her wedding to Lennie Nicholson a truly captivating and sacred ceremony in an exclusive Real Weddings interview. Intimate details from proposal, to gown, decor and menu for her Anguilla wedding are beautifully unveiled. While she chose a very traditional ceremony, Ameriie wanted every other part to represent her Korean heritage and recognize her family and friends. Advice to brides-to-be — “don’t wait until the last minute to think about the details”.

Brides from Burbank to Nashville to Pretoria also give Munaluchi luscious photo and personal accounts of their dream weddings in the Real Weddings section.

Founding partner of Black Entertainment Television (BET), Sheila Johnson, introduces Munaluchi to her “best in class” Salamander Hotels & Resorts, each distinct in its own right, all ultimate destinations for unique weddings and romantic honeymoons. Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort, host to the PGA Tour Transition Championship, is her grandest. “We’ve had some incredible weddings there with a horse and buggy coming through the property!” Ms. Johnson is especially proud of the resort’s luxurious African-inspired spa, Indaba, where guests are de-stressed with everything African — African decor, African smells, African music and African-influenced treatments. Woodlands Inn in Summerville, South Carolina, is expressly designed for the bride planning a small intimate affair. The five-star boutique mansion offers elegance with a personal touch. For the bride looking for an unforgettable destination wedding, Fishing Lodge Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic is Johnson’s jewel in the Caribbean.

Diann Valentine, talks about her show “I Do Over” on WEtv. The event designer who made sure Toni Braxton , Usher and Martin Lawrence’s weddings went off without a hitch, helps brides who weren’t so lucky relive their dream weddings on the new hit show. “I offer my brides the unique opportunity to throw tradition to the wind”, says Valentine. Diann hopes after watching the show, women “will feel comfortable enough in their own skin to express their love on their own terms.”

For brides who want the glossy in hand, this issue will be on newsstands nationwide on September 6, 2011.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) April 6, 2009

The newest trend in nuptials is saving the earth, one wedding favor at a time. Modern brides are more environmentally savvy than ever; this fact, coupled with a desire to save money in an economic downturn, has many reconsidering the traditional logic behind the trappings of traditional weddings. If you need proof, eco-friendly weddings are listed as the fifth most popular wedding trend in 2009. Instead of thinking about the ‘big day’, brides are considering the big picture instead.

Brides thinking of a ‘green’ wedding, should consider the following tips to save the planet, and some cash as well:

1.Go digital: build a web page or use Facebook to announce your wedding and use a digital camera to take all of your wedding photographs. These tactics can reduce the paper used at the event and even save money.

2.Move the venue of your wedding reception close to the site of the wedding. Cutting down on the travel time.

3.Avoid wedding dresses made with non-biodegradable materials like nylon. Organic materials like cotton are more eco-friendly.

4.Choose environmentally safe wedding favors instead of metal or plastic favors. Many wedding favor vendors like PlanningPad.com now offer a diverse selection of green-minded wedding favors for brides. Of course, shopping for favors online is another way to reduce your wedding’s carbon footprint. Wedding favors like plantable seed packets, biodegradable confetti and noisemakers, and items made from natural wood and stone.

About PlanningPad.com:

Planning Pad is an online shopping destination for unique, unforgettable wedding favors for destination weddings, extravagant ceremonies or simple celebrations. The store also carries a wide variety of bridal shower favors and wedding party gifts. PlanningPad.com offers a lowest price guarantee to match or beat competitors’ prices.

Paisley Wedding Band

(PRWEB) September 08, 2011

With the recent rise in the price of gold, and an economy that has seen brighter days, couples planning to wed may be wondering how they are going to afford their wedding bands. Added to the cost of the wedding ceremony, reception, and travel, there may be little left over. But according to Apples of Gold, the L.A. based online jeweler, this needn’t be cause for concern.

The Apples of Gold commitment to ethical pricing and consistent margins means their prices will always be competitive—but competitive doesn’t mean affordable for all. In addition to their more traditional gold wedding bands, Apples of Gold is featuring a variety of styles and choices for couples who are looking to find their perfect wedding bands, but who can’t cope with the rising price of gold.

Rather than despair over the rising prices of wedding jewelry, Apples of Gold encourages couples to think creatively about their wedding jewelry so that they can find the pieces that are not only stunning and meaningful, but also affordable. Brides and grooms shouldn’t feel guilty about setting budget for wedding jewelry. The amount of money a couple spends on a wedding ring is no measure of their love. The wedding ring is an investment, but it is an investment in a piece of jewelry—not an investment in the marriage or commitment itself.

While at the moment gold is demonstrating its enduring value and allure, it is also at its priciest. If a couple favors gold, a band that contains a higher percentage of an alloy is a money-saving option. 10k and 14k gold still offer a lot of luster, but with a more reasonable price tag than 18k or 24k. Another option is to choose a narrower band. Rings are priced by weight, thus a slightly narrower band will decrease the cost.

Another option is to explore other metals. Titanium and tungsten bands, for example, boast high durability and an everlasting shine. Men especially appreciate their resistance to wear-and-tear, and a price point that is far below gold. And for those who still desire at least a touch of gold, titanium bands can incorporate gold accents. Sterling silver is also a respectable option. Though it has a tendency to tarnish with time, a quick buff with a jewelry cloth keeps it looking its finest.

Though the economy ebbs and flows, the Apples of Gold commitment to delighting their customers with jewelry that is both extraordinary and affordable jewelry does not. Founded in 1999, the company set out to develop a jewelry company that would not only do well, but would do good. Ethical, value-based pricing practices were the foundation. The Apples of Gold commitment to quality in their products and the highest standards for customer service and consumer satisfaction come naturally. In the fine jewelry industry, Apples of Gold is a diamond in the rough.
