Simply put, it is our busiest time of the year. So if you are planning a wedding during this time, how do you prepare? What are the hot trends?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Always book early!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Spring and Summer months tend to book up quickly, so reserve your reception hall, florist, and cake decorator early to ensure that they still have your wedding date available. Even those "little extras", such as wedding favors and cake toppers, may be out of stock during "wedding season", so buy them as early as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663366;"&gt;For fabulous wedding favors, cake toppers, bridesmaid gifts &amp;amp; more, visit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.embellishmywedding.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.embellishmywedding.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;2. &lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use Seasonal Colors with Natural Accents &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;The trends for Spring weddings are soft, pastel colors with flower accents. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Candles, such as our&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.embellishmywedding.com/Daisy-Flower-Glass-Tealight-Candle-Holders--Lime-Green-or-Pink-Set-of-2_p_601.html"&gt;"Daisy Flower" Glass Tealight Candle Holders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, add romantic soft light and a hint of color to your reception tables.

Use real seashells and starfish in centerpieces and on reception tables to continue the theme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.embellishmywedding.com/Starfish-Wooden-Place-Card-Holder-Photo-Frame-40Set-of-841_p_356.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Starfish Wooden Place Card Holder / Photo Frame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; adds a fun, rustic beach look to your reception tables.

You can create elegant holiday events by following a few simple rules:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;1.&lt;/span&gt; Use the Shapes &amp;amp; Colors of the Season!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Certain images remind us of autumn and give us a warm, comforting feeling. The fall season is all about changing leaves and rich colors, so use that as an inspiration for decorations and centerpieces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405954698221225522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 271px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 193px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eTEf8wVgPvY/SwXPJ_NUhjI/AAAAAAAAABw/qBXyt1Q7M70/s320/14026-retouch.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;Add a warm ambiance to table settings with our&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://http//www.embellishmywedding.com/Fall-Leaf-Tealight-Candle-Favor-amp-Place-Card-Holder-40Set-of-441_p_613.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Fall Leaf Tealight Candle Favor &amp;amp; Place Card Holder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt; Let Nature Inspire You!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Use natural items to create beautiful, inexpensive centerpieces. A vase filled with bright fall leaves &amp;amp; branches and tied with burnt orange ribbon makes a simple, elegant statement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;3.&lt;/span&gt; A Good Host Always Thanks the Guests!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - Give your guests thank-you favors to remember your event. You can also use favor boxes as cute table decorations by placing one at each table setting in the center of the dinner plate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405960016418079186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eTEf8wVgPvY/SwXT_jCQgdI/AAAAAAAAAB4/3FaWooF7-qw/s320/28075.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;Thank your guests with holiday candy or treats in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://http//www.embellishmywedding.com/quotAutumn-Elegancequot-Fall-Leaf-Favor-Boxes-with-Ribbon--Red-or-Brown-40Set-of-2441_p_610.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"Autumn Elegance" Fall Leaf Favor Boxes with Ribbon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820132430351925083-9176058459369209406?l=embellishmywedding.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/820132430351925083/posts/default/9176058459369209406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/820132430351925083/posts/default/9176058459369209406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://embellishmywedding.blogspot.com/2009/11/decorating-elegant-thanksgiving-table.html' title='Decorating an Elegant Thanksgiving Table'/><author><name>Embellish My Wedding</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08435730080726120460</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eTEf8wVgPvY/SwDir0wO1AI/AAAAAAAAABM/NYx9p-aInLM/S220/8446-thumb.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eTEf8wVgPvY/SwXPJ_NUhjI/AAAAAAAAABw/qBXyt1Q7M70/s72-c/14026-retouch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
