I'm working on a Hindi wedding. This has been a very interesting experince for me as there is so much tradition. It's going to be beautiful and very colorful. I love working with different cultures and learning about their various ways and traditions and would welcome the opportunity to work with more Asian cultures.
To me, when planning a wedding, it's important to include traditions. Ask your parents and grandparents what they did and see if there's a way you can incorporate something from their weddings into yours. As a surprise consider having the song that was your parents first dance played.
Another thought is to copy the bouquet your mother carried, perhaps incorporating some of the same flowers in your own bouquet.
Ask if your mother or grandmother has a special set of candle holders then use them for your unity candle ceremony. It doesn't matter if they are colored, in the form of elephants etc. if they have special meaning for you, use them.
As you think through your wedding plans, think of things that your children can carry forward as well. Have your cake knife engraved. It will make it an heirloom to pass along.
If you're looking for a different, romantic, affordable destination wedding site, contact me about venues in the Philippine Islands.
Happy planning! Remember, I'm avilable to travel to anywhere in the world to assist you with your wedding. I'm just a call or email away. tanya@weddingsbytanya.com or www.weddingsbytanya.com.

HAPPY MAY DAY!
Can you believe it' May already? Wedding season is getting ready to burst forth just like the flowers!
The economy is easing a bit, but still has couples worrying about their weddings and how to have the one they want for the budget they have available.
One of the best ways to keep in check is to hire a good wedding coordinator. I can't emphasize how important this is as we know the vendors who will do the best job for them within their budget. One of the big ways we save you money is in time. Let us make the inital calls to pre-qualfy vendors for you.
A possible thought is to do a Planned Elopement. There is no reason that an elopement needs to be just to Vegas anymore. I can help you plan anywhere you'd like to go, including the Philippine Islands and be there if you'd like. A Planned Elopement can be a elaborate as you'd like. It can include flowers, photography, videography, special dinner arrangements, wedding cake and just about anything else you'd like included. I take care of all the arrangements and can preform the ceremony.
Destination weddings are a great way to save money as it limits the number of guests who will attend.
Don't spend your valuable time researching venues and vendors. Give me a call or email for more information on how I can help you. I'm happy to travel outside of Colorado should you care to hire someone who hasn't worked with all your friends and can give you a fresh take on planning your wedding. I currently have a few dates available for 2009 and am booking into 2010 on a limited basis.
I'm currently working on a traditional Hindi wedding so those of you who are going to have an Indian/Asian wedding, I do have first hand knowledge of the traditions and can help make your day special. Denver is a beautiful place for your wedding.

Destination Philippine Islands
Did you know there are 7,107 islands that make up the Philippine Islands?
I didn't until I had the opportunity to visit many of the beautiful venues that would love to host destination weddings. Whether you'd like to get married in a resort in the middle of Manila or on the China Sea white sand shore, there's a venue for you.
The hotels and resorts are 4 and 5 star rated, the food delicious and the service over and above expectations. Where else can you find a handful of Calla lilies for $1??? You can easily do a wedding for 150 guests there in one of the top hotels for less than $10,000, so you can imagine the cost for the two of you or a small group.
All-be-it it's a long flight, but you sleep most of the way and the airlines feeds you really well! Also, you don't have to pay for your beverages.
There is tight security at every turn, but nothing to be afraid of if you don't get off the beaten path. While I was there, we toured all over Manila and one of the most memorable places, for me, was the American War Memorial. It's the largest military cemetery outside the US. There are still around 35,000 soldiers unaccounted for and each name is engraved in a large marble wall.
The Philippine people are extremely polite and friendly and they know how to throw a party!
If you are looking for an exotic place for your wedding, where none of your friends have gotten married, check out the Philippine Islands. It's even possible to have a designer make your dress in the range of $900 - 1500. These dresses are beautiful and can have a lot of hand beading done. They just need your measurements and ideas of what you'd like to have.
Guys, if you're looking for a beautiful gift for your bride, this is the place to buy the natural south sea pearls in almost any color you want and very reasonable!
I had the opportunity to make many contacts there and am more than happy to assist you with your planning and being on site for your wedding. For pictures and more information please contact me at 303-779-0395 or www.weddingsbytanya.com.

Destination Weddings
I just had to share with you all about an opportunity that has presented itself.
In about five weeks, I'll be one of 20 wedding coordinators, who have been invited to visit the Philippines. This is through an organization that is International so I feel very privelaged to have been chosen to go.
During this time, I will learn about the destination spots there as well as garner information on Asian weddings. I'm currently working on a traditional Indian-Hindu wedding to be held in July.
I've had experience in the past working with a couple where we did a nine course Chinese dinner and tea ceremony for the rehearsal then had the traditional Western wedding the next day.
Asian weddings are beautiful as well as challenging since there are so many facets to them. The colors are fabulous and a photographer's dream!
I'll share more about what I learn in Feb. upon returning from this tour. In the meantime, if you are looking for someone to coordinate an Asian themed wedding, give me a call. I'd love to work with you! www.weddingsbytanya.com tanya@weddingsbytanya.com
