Would you like to do something unique to show the woman of your dreams how much she means to you?

Of course, you would. Who wouldn’t want to do something extra special when proposing to their one true love.

No need to look any further than your own backyard.

In 2017, Seven Oaks Fine Jewelers was selected by JCK Magazine for having the best jewelry store promotion in 2017. What’s even more remarkable is the powerhouse jewelers they competed against stores like; Rolex, Kay Jewelers, Cartier, Tiffany & Co. to name a few. Store owner, Shane

Oaks said, “I was completely blown out of the water by the award. Especially when I found out who we were competing against.” He went on to say, “Winning the award is a huge honor.”

The award was given by JCK Magazine because of the uniqueness of the promotion. Seven Oaks Fine Jewelers, located in Vernal and St. George, Utah, films the proposals of their customers for free, using a drone. The service is available in both Vernal and Roosevelt.

unique way to capture their proposal.

That is what inspired Shane and his staff to begin offering the service in late 2016. Since that time, they have video recorded more than ten marriage proposals for customers and look forward to recording many more.

Hopefully, you will love the products recommended on this list!

We have all attended plenty of wedding receptions. Request for gifts have ranged from “cash please”, to “John Lewis registry”, to “your presence is present enough”.

There have also been weddings where couples have been living together for a long time, or where they’re relocating afterward, and don’t want bulky gifts.

So here are some tried and tested options for when you’re stuck or low on cash.

Of course, if the couple has a list, then you’re best to stick to it, but if you’re late off the mark, you may want to add something small from the below to the water carafe and teacup combo that’s left online.

1. A soft recycled wool blanket that’s as good for picnics as it is for snuggling up on the sofa. These blankets are durable, warm, and age well. They are also machine-washable – meaning that

spilling hummus on it during a picnic isn’t the end of the world.

2. A bottle of champagne or Sparkling Cider and a quote; congratulations & quote; this is a great go-to option for any wedding where no gifts are requested 3. Bed linen that feels like sleeping on actual clouds and will last for years.

There are many companies that offer hi-quality bed linens. Many quality linens can be washed in a normal gentle cycle, and can even be tumble-dried.

The best part is that these sheets become softer the more you wash them.

4. A personalized map of their love

story.

It’s difficult to buy artwork for others, even for people you know well. But a memento of their wedding day, or their love story, is a good bet. There are a couple of options, with varying degrees of cuteness. A nice watercolor print is an option.

5. A framed newspaper front page from their wedding day.

They may happen to get married on a Tuesday which would allow for a copy of the Vernal Express or the Uintah Basin Standard. Any other day and you could get a copy of the Salt Lake Tribune or Deseret News. Simply buy the paper of their choice the morning of the wedding, then ship your gift after the event.

6. Cocktail ingredients and a pair of nice glasses.

You can always bump up your gift of nice cocktail glasses with the ingredients to mix cocktails. There are many books available with directions or you can find recipes online.

7. A gift certificate to a great local restaurant.

What’s nicer than a present you can use when you get back from the honeymoon? Do a little research into the

UBM

kind of food they like, then figure out your budget.

8. Some really nice coffee to ease into the mornings after the honeymoon. You can find great coffee and tea at the local market, even some very high-end options that are sure to please the palette.

9. A One for All Gift card.

So, maybe you’ve looked at their registry and don’t like anything on it.

Maybe there’s nothing on this list that catches your eye. So you think “Maybe I’ll just buy them some crystalware!” you think, sliding your debit card from your wallet and opening up an online shop. Instead, why not spend that money on a gift card? Gift cards are a great value because you can choose any amount and almost every business offers, including hotels as well as WalMart and other retailers.

Keep in mind that Wal-Mart offers gift registries online and through the Wal-Mart app. This is a great option because budgets can go much farther with the excellent prices offered in stores and online. In fact, they even offer an app available for Apple and Android devices. They also offer $5 off your first purchase online.

Many brides-to-be visit bridal shops with specific goals in mind regarding the style of their wedding gowns. Some women come equipped with magazine tear-outs or pull up ideas on their mobile phones.

Others may have an entire scrapbook filled with various ideas they’ve been compiling for years.

Much consideration is given to wedding gowns.

The cost and silhouette of the dress may garner the bulk of that consideration, but brides might want to spend more time considering comfort.

Depending on the time of day their wedding take place, brides can spend 12 hours or more in their wedding gowns on their wedding day. However, when shopping for their gowns, brides may prioritize beauty over comfort, even though it’s entirely possible to find a gown that’s both stunning and comfortable. When staff and friends or family who have come along to offer advice start to blush over wedding gowns, brides-to-be may feel pressured to downplay any discomfort they feel.

To make sure brides look flawless and elegant but are still comfortable in their wedding gowns, consider the following tips.

Know what to highlight and what to cover up. No two body types are the same, and many women feel certain parts of their bodies are their best assets while they want to downplay others.

Try on gowns that play up your best features. If you have shapely legs, consider a dramatic gown with a slit to show them off. Certain gowns can enhance the decollete or show off an hourglass shape. Remember, many gowns can be modified so

that you feel secure and confident. Sleeves can be added or fabric placed to cover up any perceived flaws. Confidence and pride are important parts of the comfort factor.

Get sized correctly. Bridal gown sizes do not coincide with street sizes. Depending on the manufacturer, brides may have to select gowns that are several sizes larger than they would normally wear. This should not be a cause for alarm. Brides should go by their measurements. Attempting to squeeze into a dress that is too small will only lead to discomfort on the wedding day.

Purchase the right undergarments. Improperly fitting bras, shapewear and other undergarments can lead to discomfort as well. Some seamstresses can sew in supportive cups to remove the need for separate bras. Brides can explore various options to reduce the visibility of certain accoutrements.

Move around in the gown. Brides should not just stand in front of the mirror and smile when trying on gowns. Put them through their paces. Try sitting, bending and even a little dancing. Make sure the dress is comfortable to move around in.

Try different options. The gown brides have in mind may not be the one they ultimately go home with. Explore different styles and materials.

Choose cooler, breezier fabrics and lightweight gowns, like crepe, georgette or organza, for summer weddings. Heavier fabrics, such as brocade, may be more comfortable in the winter.

Wedding gowns can be both beautiful and comfortable for those who know how to shop.

Weddings are special moments for couples and the guests they invite to share their happiness on their big days. Beautiful weddings require substantial planning, as every last detail must be considered for couples to enjoy the wedding of their dreams.

Flowers play a big role in many weddings, and couples can add beauty and ambiance to the event by using floral arrangements in various ways. Modern floral arrangements are stunning, and many couples may not know that herbs, spices and flowers have been used in weddings for centuries.

Today, flowers are used to decorate wedding venues, impart sweet fragrances and complement formal attire, but in ancient times they were used differently. Flowers were used to bestow good luck on the couple and keep bad omens away. Brides carried aromatic flowers and spices to keep evil spirits from spoiling the festivities, and some even tucked bulbs of garlic into their bouquets. In ancient Greece and Rome, both the bride and groom wore garlands made out of strong-smelling herbs flowers around their necks or heads. These wreaths were considered gifts of nature, and thus extremely appropriate for a wedding. Traditionally, bridesmaids would be responsible for fashioning these floral com-

In ancient Sweden, young girls would carry small bouquets of fragrant herbs down the aisle and the groom would put thyme in his pocket. These aromatics were thought to help keep trolls at bay.

Besides warding off spirits or hungry trolls, flowers also served more practical purposes throughout history. During the Middle Ages, people bathed less frequently

than they do today. Bathing might only have occurred twice a year, once during summer and then again at Christmastime.

Because many weddings took place in the spring, flowers were used to mask bodily odors. Not only were flowers and herbs carried, but they also would be sewn into clothing.

Modern brides and grooms may no

longer see their wedding days as times for opportunistic evil spirits. But that doesn’t mean that couples cannot borrow from ancient traditions and incorporate flowers into their weddings in various ways.

Wreaths and garlands: Ask the florist to weave small flower buds, berries and vines to a headband, wreath or piece of twine so that the bride and groom can wear these flowers in the way they were worn by ancient Greeks and Romans. When coupled with Grecian-styled wedding gowns, brides can look like beautiful goddesses on their wedding days.

Fragrant favors: Tuck dried rose petals and other fragrant flowers into sachets that are embroidered with the wedding date and couple’s names. Guests can use these sachets to keep clothings smelling fresh in drawers or as subtle air fresheners around the house.

Edible flowers: Ask the caterer to make meals flower-friendly by including some edible blooms in the salad or as a garnish on meals.

Raining petals: In lieu of bubbles or birdseed, guests can shower the newlyweds with rose petals after the ceremony.

Memorial: Some couples like to honor departed family members. Floral arrangements with small placards can make for fitting memorials.

Make the first dance even more special

Donna Summer may have sung about making the most of life with her song “Last Dance” in the 70’s, but during a wedding reception, most of the focus is on the first dance of the evening when the newlyweds take to the dance floor for the first time after tying the knot. Not only does the first dance give the couple an opportunity to shine on the dance floor, but it also can help set the tone for the reception to follow.

A couple’s first dance is significant.

Traditionally, the first dance was performed to a slow waltz, but now the first dance is not governed by any rules.

Many couples like to push boundaries or get creative with their first dances, and this can make the wedding even more memorable. In fact, some couples enroll in dance classes or enlist the help of choreographers to ensure an epic opening dance number. Social media is full of videos of innovative couples performing spot-on dance routines from classic dance movies like “Dirty Dancing” or beautifully choreographed dances to popular first dance songs such as “At Last” or “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

Whether a couple wants to perform

an intricate tango or simply wants to sway to the music on the first dance, here are some pointers to keep in mind.

Choose a wedding song that has meaning. It may be fun to do a dance

routine to DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean,” but remember your first dance song will forever be linked to your life as a couple. Select a song that has deep meaning to you. Review the lyrics to

make sure it’s an appropriate wedding song.

Tame those nerves. Practicing is a way to feel more confident in your steps, and that will help keep nerves at bay. Many couples experience a bit of stage fright. Just keep in mind that these friends and family are at the wedding to support you and not judge your dance moves.

Choose an uncomplicated routine.

If dancing is not your strong suit, select an easy song that allows you to simply sway back and forth and move around minimally. Dancing takes practice, but with that practice, even the self-professed “worst dancer” can cut an impressive rug.

Consider working with a professional. If you desire something more intricate for the first dance and you have the budget to pay for some dance lessons, go for it. An instructor can take you through dance basics or help you choreograph a more polished piece.

First dances are memorable moments at wedding receptions. Guests can’t wait to hear the song couples choose, and some couples exceed guests’ expectations with their impressive moves.
