It seems like more weddings happen in the month of June. If you have a wedding coming up in the near future, you may be dealing with the planning of the details right now. You’re searching for the right caterer and the reception hall and possibly browsing through invitation books looking for the perfect way to announce to your friends and family of your upcoming wedding celebration. Sometimes the meaning of it all can get lost in the planning. It all can be so overwhelming as it is for many of us these days.

My grandmother often told me that weddings in the olden days were more about the actual ceremony than spending absurd amounts of money. There was very little expense because there was very little to spend.

Outdoor weddings were common and used the beauty of Mother Nature to enhance the ceremony using flowers that were handpicked from the meadows. The wedding dresses were made by hand or handed down through generations. The groom would wear his best Sunday attire. Pot-luck picnics were held following the wedding. The type of gifts people would bring for the happy couple were handmade quilts, homemade jams and jellies or smoked meat. The gifts were more about survival than pleasure.

Some weddings these days seem to focus more on the expense, the latest styles, the hottest fashions and less on the actual marriage vows of two souls. The cost of these types of weddings can become astronomical.

My budget would not allow for an extravagant wedding, but I still wanted a beautiful one. I chose to go back to the simplistic style of years past. I have always been enthralled with the old cowboy life-style and way of living that my grandmother spoke about when I was a child and that was my inspiration in planning my wedding.

My grandmother talked about how they picked a beautiful place by the Snake river where the water flowed peacefully. The white pines soared into the beautiful blue sky and sheltered the area from the bright warm sun. There was a variety of wild flowers spread through out the tall green grass.

My grandfather patiently waited by the rivers edge as my grandmother rode toward him in a black buggy. As she began to walk in his direction, her beautiful white homemade wedding dress glistened in the sun. My grandfather said she looked like an angel walking toward him. When they joined hands in marriage they felt they became as one.

I set out to create much of the same natural inexpensive environment as my grandparents. I found a location near a small stream with lots of beautiful pine trees. Because my wedding was in July, the mountain meadows were filled with a variety of beautiful wildflowers that I included in my bouquet, table centerpieces and cake decoration. We decided to ride in on separate horses rather than using a buggy like my grandmother.

Our invitations were computer generated with a western theme and our included photograph was taken by a family member with a digital camera and printed on an inkjet printer. They looked just as good as a professional design and we received many compliments on them. The best part was we saved oodles of money.

I found a beautiful inexpensive wedding dress for only ninety-nine dollars and I wore a white cowboy hat that I had adorned with a veil. My husband wore a white silk western shirt with a black leather vest and black wranglers. We both wore our cowboy boots.

All other members of the wedding line wore black Wrangler pants with the girls wearing blue western blouses and the men wearing white western shirts. Some wore black cowboy hats and boots. The guests were told they could dress casually and gifts were optional.

We built a hitching post which we placed his and hers saddles upon. We dressed up the posts and saddles with bows. We stood at the hitching post for the ceremony. It may sound a little corny, but it was really beautiful.

The ceremony went well and without a hitch. Many were concerned I might fall off my horse and become an entry on Funniest Home Videos, but little did they know I’m an excellent horse rider and my horse is very gentle. Some commented that it was like watching a fairy tale wedding; which only proves that you can have an inexpensive wedding and it can still be breathtaking.

The reception dinner was held at the same location following the ceremony in a sheltered area. We provided the Dutch oven meat and the guests brought salads and other fixings.

We were fortunate enough to have a relative that makes wedding cakes for a good price. She incorporated the wild flowers into the decorating of the cake and the cake top was a cute cowboy couple. We had live entertainment provided by a family member who played guitar and sang. All in all, our wedding cost under $1000.

My inexpensive western wedding proves that you can have a wedding that is just as meaningful, if not more so, without the overshadowing of glitz and glamour to take away from the original reason, which is, the joining of two souls.

Agate jewelry has been very popular for several centuries now. Jewelry designers choose this stone because it is readily available virtually on all continents, it is relatively inexpensive, and can be found in a wide range of patterns and colors. To further increase its popularity, the stone can be colored and treated to improve its appearance, and to make the colors move vivid. Agates today are often framed in sterling silver settings to create beautiful silver pendants, brooches, pins, and a variety of other jewelry items. The color and pattern combinations available in nature give jewelry designers an opportunity to express their creative and artistic talents and tastes through the superb jewelry that they produce. Jewelers typically prefer to cut the stone into cabochons or beads; facet cut pieces are rarely used. It is interesting to note however, that the use of agates for jewelry and other ornamental purposes also occurred to the Ancients. For examples, records show that the Sumerians and Egyptians used agate as part of their burial rituals. Artifacts found from archaeological digs include amulets, jars, and other ornamental pieces.

Agates are a form of silicon dioxide or quartz. Since quartz is found in great abundance throughout the world, it is logical that agates are found in a multitude of countries around the world. The structure of agates can best be described as cryptocrystalline or microcrystalline. In plain English, this means that the quartz crystals in the stone are so tiny that they certainly cannot be seen by the naked eye, and in fact, are invisible even under low magnification. This crystalline structure makes agates particularly strong. Typical agates have a hardness of about 7 on the Mohs’ scale. Most agates are opaque, or in some rare instances, translucent. The colors defy imagination – ranging from whites and creams to bright blues, hues of purple, and bright red. The complex patterns and vivid colors of Botswana agates are well known in the world of jewelry. Agates generally occur as nodules and veins. If the layers of quartz are concentric, the stone is cut to reveal the banded or striped patterns associated with jewelry grade agates. Madagascar, India, China, Russia and Australia are some of the largest producers of agates in the world today.

The myths, folklore, and legend associated with agates are rivaled only by the colors and patterns in which they are found. In the old days, agates were believed to help protect the wearer and promote strength and healing. The stone is also believed to protect the wearer from bad dreams. There is a quite energy associated with agate, and the stone is particularly beneficial to subtle bodies. Agates also help promote positive energy and optimism.

Remodeling your kitchen to transform it to an elegant and modern kitchen does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. Most people feel that unless they spend thousands upon thousands, they are not going to end up with a beautiful modern kitchen. This document is meant to give you few kitchen remodel ideas to transform your kitchen to that modern looking kitchen you always dreamed of without making you go bankrupt.
The most important thing that people notice when they enter the kitchen is the kitchen counter top. Contrary to the popular belief, you can buy a very nice laminate counter top for about $60-$70 at your local stores or bigger shops such as home depot or Lowes. Some stores free of charge will cut the counter-top so that your sink can fit through; some others may charge you very little for this task. However, cutting the counter top is not a difficult task as the sink edge will hide small imperfections that may result from the cutting process. However, if you feel that you are not able to accomplish this task on your own, just look for a store that would do this task for you.
Another inexpensive kitchen remodel idea is to re-face or replace your cabinet doors. Even though cabinet doors are some what pricy, it is far less expensive than replacing your entire cabinets. You can find cabinet doors about $30-$40. Here is what you need to do. Replace or re-face your cabinet doors with modern cabinet doors of your choice. Pay attention so that the color you choose matches well with your counter top. Most cabinet doors are of standard size; however, if your cabinets are not standard size, you may have to order the correct size cabinet doors. You will then need to stain the top and bottom of your cabinets to match the color of your new cabinet doors. Fear not, this task is not as difficult as it sounds. You approach this in the same way as you would paint your drywalls. The first think is to sand the edges to create a smooth surface before applying the stain. If you are doing this for the first time, it is recommended that you try staining a scrap piece of plywood just to get a feel for it.
Another inexpensive kitchen remodel idea is replacing old cabinet door knobs with trendy new knobs. The cabinet door handles or knobs are fairly inexpensive you can buy a bag of 10 door handles for around $10-$15. Even though this seems like a very small investment, it greatly contributes to the overall image and appeal of your kitchen. Again, we can see that kitchen remodeling does not have to be an expensive project.
Lighting in your kitchen is another important feature that impacts the look and image of your kitchen. Pot lights are in fashion and apart from the fact that they make your kitchen look modern, they are also very inexpensive. I don’t recommend you doing any electrical work if you are not a certified electrician or have never done any electrical work in the past. You need to hire a qualified electrician to run the wiring for you but you can tell the electrician where you would like the pot lights to be installed. You can rent the equipment that puts the hole in your ceiling for pot lights from home depot for about $50 a day.
Once all your work is done, make sure you give your new kitchen a new paint job as they say a paint job can do wonders. finally, sit back and enjoy your new beautiful kitchen.
