AdvantageBridal.com Is Distinguished Dealer of Carlson Craft Wedding Invitations

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

We are proud of this award from Carlson Craft, which recognizes Advantage Bridal as a Distinguished Dealer. We’ve been doing business together since 1993 and feel honored to receive this award.

Carlson Craft is “the world’s largest wedding and social stationery printer.” Engaged couples can shop the large selection of Carlson Craft wedding invitations, discount wedding invitations, custom wedding invitations, DIY wedding invites, and related stationery at AdvantageBridal.com.

Thank you, Carlson Craft! We hope to continue providing brides and grooms with your beautiful wedding stationery.

Want to know what colors are hot this year? The company lists the following wedding color trends for 2012:

Black – Black tie affairs are making their way back on the scene, but today’s brides are bringing “black tie” back with personality, elegance and meaningful traditions. Boring and black tie may never be used in the same sentence again.

Malibu – This versatile shade of blue adds a touch of tranquility no matter how it’s used. Combine with lavender and pale pinks for a soft, feminine quality or with light browns, silvers or grays for a taste of the southwest. The sky is notthe limit with this beauty!

Coral Reef – Watch for this color to make a splash this year as a top choice for weddings. With vintage weddings being popular, coral reef fits in nicely for a soft and subtle feel with just enough punch to stimulate activity and encourage socialization.

Begonia – This happy shade of pink brings forth feelings of youthful fun and excitement. Incorporate the light-hearted color of begonia to generate feelings of relaxation, acceptance and contentment. Here’s to good health and a good life!

Freesia – This elegant lilac purple with silvery undertones creates a peaceful, calming feeling for those exposed to it. Freesia soothingly tones down and blends the stability of blue and the energy of red for a tranquil, honest and reflective hue.

Tangerine Tango – Destined to be the sassiest little number of the year, this reddish-orange hue is here to boost our energy levels and spice things up a bit! Pairing the power of red and the warmth of yellow, you’ll be dancing all year long!

Apple – If you’re looking to grab some attention, you might consider a luscious color like red apple

Ben Bridge $100K Wedding Contest

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Brides and grooms, you have until February 14 to win the Ben Bridge $100,000 Wedding of the Century. In celebration of the wedding jeweler’s 100 year anniversary, engaged couples have the opportunity to win a dream wedding that includes $30K in jewelry for the wedding party, a cash prize for the ultimate wedding and a honeymoon in Africa.

Simply visit Ben Bridge on Facebook, upload a photo of you and your honey and get friends to vote. We don’t promote wedding contests often, so when we do, it has to be good. This one just might be worth your time!

If you don’t win, and you’re a budget savvy bride looking to throw your dream wedding for cheap, there are numerous ideas and affordable wedding accessories at Advantage Bridal. We carry DIY wedding invitations and favors, as well as discount bridal shoes and reception decor.

Scour flea markets and swap meets for interesting pieces or props for a DIY photo booth. Search local parks, beaches and outdoor spaces for an inexpensive wedding venue. Throw the reception in a grand backyard or club house, which can often be rented for a nominal fee. Visit your city’s website for a list of local parks and beaches that may be available to rent for a ceremony.

You’ll be surprised what you can find with a little research. Buy a gently used bridal gown, sample dress or last year’s styles for even more savings. And you know what? You don’t need a bridal gown at all to feel and look like a bride. Think of all the glamorous styles seen on the red carpet. An elegant evening gown in white, ivory or champagne might do the trick.

It’s the accessories that say “bride.” Add a veil, rhinestone headpiece or bridal hat to a simple white gown. Add a sash, sparkly jewelry and a bridal jacket for more impact. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on your bridal ensemble or venue. A little creativity and imagination goes a long way. . .

Wedding Website Benefits

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Unique Wedding Website using Blogger. Image: The Budget Savvy Bride

Market yourself, your groom and your wedding with a wedding website. It’s not only a cinch to find a template, publish and share but guests will appreciate the extra effort.

Yes, traditional wedding stationery is still important, such as save the dates, bridal shower invites, wedding invitations and thank you cards. But in the age of iPhones and iPads, having a website can be a time saver for guests.

Why should you have a wedding website? It provides an easy platform for you to share pertinent info with your guests. You can post your engagement pictures, registry, venue/reception directions, vendor links, honeymoon destination, etc.

You choose the design template and what you’d like published on the site, including optional information. For example, share the story of how you and your fiance met (especially helpful for whirlwind courtships) or allow guests to RSVP online. It saves a stamp, a trip to the post office and helps reduce wedding stationery costs.

Many top wedding sites offer websites for free or a nominal fee. It also helps organize guest lists, reception seating and mailing addresses so you can simply print labels for wedding invites or thank you notes.

If you spend a little time up front creating a wedding website, it will save you more time down the road. If a guest leaves for the ceremony without the invite and directions, he/she can simply visit your site on their electronic device and find all the valuable info. It saves you time and your guests.

A simple Google search will direct you to popular free wedding websites, but you can also create your own using sites like Blogger. Make sure you do your research first, so that you don’t find yourself jumping through hoops or paying for something you thought was free.

Brides can register at AdvantageBridal.com for their bridal shower or wedding. Find unique bridal gifts, honeymoon apparel, bachelorette party supplies, and bride and groom gifts at our one-stop shop.
