Wedding Trend: Keeping Your Guests Cool

Having a summer wedding or other event? The Wedding Outlet has just the right accessories to keep your event looking fabulous and keep your guests staying cool.

Water Labels
Present your guests with a refreshing bottle of water with a personalized water bottle label. Just remove the original label from the water bottle and replace it with one of our personalized wedding water bottle labels. Consider giving personalized water bottles at the reception, bridal shower, bachelorette party or even a day of golf.

Flip Flops
Bridesmaids flip flops are a great gift for your bridesmaids. Your bridesmaids can wear them at the rehearsal dinner, getting ready for the wedding and even change into them during the reception. Personalized bridesmaid flip flops come in white or black with your choice of embroidery color.

Parasols
These beautiful paper parasols can be given to your guests to keep the summer sun off of them or they can be used as a stylish prop for your photographs. Bridesmaids and flower girls can carry them down the aisle at an outdoor wedding for an added splash of color. They will bring a summery feel with them wherever they go.

Program or Favor Fans
These wedding fan favors will keep your guests cool at your summer, garden or beach wedding. Some of our DIY fan favors double as wedding programs! Find a fan favor to match your wedding colors or theme.

Introducing . . . Customized Wedding Creations

Cherin, owner of Customized Wedding Creations emailed recently to introduce me to her company that specializes in "creating custom, hand-painted aisle runners for weddings and events at prices designed not to break the bank". For those that are looking for a bit bling, Customized Wedding Creations also offers the option of adorning the aisle runner with either rhinestones or genuine Swarovski crystals.
All of the work created at Customized Wedding Creations is done by hand, which results it each order being one-of-a-kind. In addition to the aisle runners, you can also order custom parasols, seating charts, table runners, banners and signs.

And, lastly, Cherin is currently offering readers of Brenda's Wedding Blog 10% off any purchase at Customized Wedding Creations with coupon code: TEN09.

totes-ISOTONER's New Wedding Line

I recently received a wonderful surprise package from totes-ISOTONER. Inside were 3 items from their brand new wedding line named "Occasions". The items are budget friendly and absolutely breathtaking.

My personal favorite is the Satin Parasol with crocheted lace trim and a birch wood handle. It also opens automatically with the push of a button. The best part? It's even treated for rain protection. The parasol is beautiful for a destination or garden wedding, and makes for a great keepsake after the wedding. The parasol retails for $25 in white or porcelain.

The Thong Wedding Sandals with Rhinestones come in white or black and retail for $20. These are perfect for beach weddings and the honeymoon. They also make nice gifts for your wedding party. Other styles in the new line include unique beading, ribbons and stone accents that coordinate with any wedding gown. Each pair of ESNY Occasions footwear comes beautifully packaged in a mesh travel bag and retail prices begin at $12.

The Rose Quilted Ballerina Women's Slippers with Rhinestones are available in white, ivory or black and are $25 retail. What a great gift for your wedding party to wear as you get ready for the big day or even for lounging around the honeymoon suite.

Oniki Cole, the Product Designer for the ESNY division of totes»Isotoner, talks about the new collection, "Every bride wants both style and comfort on that very special day. They want to look special and feel special and we created this new line with those two important attributes in mind."

The 3 items featured are just a sampling of the entire occasions wedding line available from totes-ISOTONER. To see all the items in the collection, please click here.
