The most basic wedding ceremony accessories that the majority of couples use can generally be purchased in collections which make your wedding shopping that much easier. You're then able to pick and choose the additional accessories you'd like to add to your ceremony and reception to make your wedding a signature affair.
Basic collections include flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow, guest book and pen set, and garter set. Most collection items are also (or in a few cases, only) sold separately, which gives you greater flexibility in the event that you should want to incorporate only some of the items in the collection into your wedding festivities.
Some of the more attractive designs follow:
The Cosmos Collection features a pure white background and delightful floral-print-on-solid layered sash. Most items featuring this design are embellished with trailing grosgrain bows in contrasting colors, along with coordinating solid-color piping accents. The ring bearer pillow has a single trailing grosgrain ribbon tie, which can be used to secure the wedding rings to the pillow to ensure that they make it safely all the way through the wedding procession. This design is available in Horizon and Tangerine.
The Sangria Sunset Collection is another eye-catching design boasting a lovely layered bow and colorful layered sash combo strikingly set against a contrasting white or ivory background. Sash includes a solid-color satin ribbon atop a wider band of coordinating silky print fabric for a truly elegant look. The layered bow includes a wider, solid-color bow topped by a second, narrow white or ivory bow. With ribbons trailing lushly, the bows that adorn this design will bring a sense of lavish splendor to your wedding ceremony. Ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket also feature coordinating piping to round out the style.
White-on-white (or ivory-on-ivory) collections include the Beach Collection (distinguished by its lovely seashell motif), the Grace Collection (marked by an embroidered leaf theme which is embellished with tiny, scattered crystals and topped off by a bow and openwork cross), the Stephanotis Collection (featuring tiny pearl and crystal accented flowers), and the Joy Collection (marked by its gift-like appearance, complete with triple-loop bow). Each set includes the ring bearer pillow, as well as the other three most popular collection components mentioned above.
As you can see, the wedding ceremony accessories described here are only the beginning of the wonderful celebration you can create when you incorporate just the right design, color scheme, and combination of items into your own marriage festivities.

Wedding Superstitions
Weddings are surrounded with superstitions that have been handed down through the centuries. Designed to bring good luck and fertility to the bride and groom, superstitions are now as much a part of a wedding as the actual bride and groom.
Probably the most well-known of superstitions stem from the Victorian rhyme, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe.’ The rhyme is based on the transition of life before and after marriage.
‘Something old’ represents the link with the bride’s family and her past. Wearing a piece of antique jewellery, or her mother or grandmother’s wedding gown is thought to bring long-lasting friendship.
‘Something new’ symbolises good fortune, health, happiness and success in the bride’s new life. There are wonderful gifts for brides available on the market today. See below for inspiration.
Borrowing a gift, such as a piec e of jewellery or a lace handkerchief from a relative – ‘something borrowed’ – is a token of the bride’s family’s love and loyalty towards her. Remember, in the true spirit of borrowing, the gift must be returned in order to bring good luck.
‘Something blue’ is usually the garter worn by the bride for faithfulness and loyalty. Buying the bride a romantic lace Garter in a Keepsake Box makes a thoughtful gift that will endure well beyond her big day.
Alternatively, buying the bride-to-be a Hen Night Garter and Whistle in their own keepsake box makes for a fun gift for her pre-nup celebration night on the town!
The modern day bride throws her bouquet into the throng of single female guests, the idea being the one who catches said floral arrangement will be the next to marry. Traditionally, however, the garter was forceably removed from the bride by the male guests – after which the victor would present it to the girl of his choice.
‘A silver sixpence in her shoe’ is thought to bring the bride luck and wealth in her married life. Traditionally the bride’s father places the sixpence in her left shoe. A real, Lucky Sixpence in a Keepsake Box is a must-have gift that will pay dividends throughout the marriage!
Also considered extremely lucky is the traditional wedding gift of a horseshoe. Buying the newlyweds a Just Married Horseshoe Set will set them happily on their way along their marriage path together.
Following the honeymoon, the groom is expected to carry his bride across the threshold. This act symbolises the bride’s surrendering of her virginity to her husband. It also carries a practical meaning – that of preventing her from falling as she enters her new home. Sweet.
Commemorate this special moment with a wedding gift or present from The Gift Experience, such as a handmade Lladro Style Bride and Groom. This porcelain figurine of a just-married couple, designed in England by Annie Rowe, is infinitely collectable. The perfect gift for the bride and groom, it will remain a permanent and gorgeous reminder of their wedding day throughout their lives.

Garter - did you get 2 garters - one to toss and one to keep?
Hi, I read that the treadition is to get 2 garters, one obviously to toss, and the otehr one is supposedly for the wedding night when your husband removes it and you keep it (keepsake). I have ordered one garter and one garter only. Not sure now - should I get a matching one to go with ther tradition? Thanks
I only had one garter and 17 years on, I honestly can't remember what happened to it. Depending on the wedding you've planned, the real romance will be the night of the day after the wedding as you'll be shattered after a day of being on show, stressing, having fun and being passed around the dance floor, so the garter won't matter!
