            <description><![CDATA[<br >]]><![CDATA[<br >]]>The French Riviera has been famous among the famous for more than a century. 
            Celebrities and statesmen were initially attracted by its beautiful light, mild weather and access to both beaches and 
            mountains; and over the years the area has been built up into a fantasia of luxury beaches, casinos, perfumeries, yachts 
            and mansions. In France we call this coastline the Côte d'Azur, and here you'll find a range of unequaled vistas of the 
            both Mediterranean shoreline and French Alps. If you are planning your wedding in this area all your guests will be happy
             and excited ! <![CDATA[<br >]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<br >]]><![CDATA[<br >]]>One of the best ways to let guests know the fact that the wedding is formal is to include 
            this information in the invitations themselves. Also we advise you to choose ultra-formal, traditional 
            invitations – for example choose white or ivory paper. Most of the time when guests receive a formal 
            invitation and read where your wedding is being held, you can trust them to dress appropriately. <![CDATA[<br >]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<br >]]><![CDATA[<br >]]>Reds and greens reflect the season very well, but don’t only use these colors together otherwise 
            your wedding may seem more Christmas-oriented. You can use red and ivory, white and green or a silver palette. 
            Silver and white with crystal accents can add some romantic glamour to your winter wedding. Red roses or calla 
            lilies are beautiful winter wedding flowers that can match the above winter color themes.<![CDATA[<br >]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<br >]]><![CDATA[<br >]]>Who says that the wedding of your dreams requires a sleeveless dress and air-conditioning? A beautiful winter wedding can be breathtaking, cozy, and come with a lot of financial benefits! <![CDATA[<br >]]>
When selecting decorations, choose décor that is 'warm' and inviting for your guests. Colors play a very important role in a winter wedding. In order to pull off a successful wedding with a comfortable appeal, steer clear of bright colors that are 'summery.' Try warm tones.
Colors like purple, terra-cotta, forest-green, ruby, and navy look excellent with the glow of candlelight. They can add a special ambiance and warmth to any reception site. Winter weddings provide the perfect opportunity to have an 'elegant' wedding with such rich colors.

            <description><![CDATA[<br >]]><![CDATA[<br >]]>It’s nice but not necessary to have a little gift for wedding guests.<![CDATA[<br >]]>
Some couples give each guest or table of guests a disposable camera so they can capture a unique record of the wedding events.<![CDATA[<br >]]>
Couples are also burning CDs of their favourite music to share with their family and friends.<![CDATA[<br >]]>
Candy-coated coloured almonds are considered good luck in some cultures, and they can be a pretty addition to the table. Gather them in coloured tulle and tie with a silk ribbon. You might tuck in a miniature artificial rose bud.
Chocolates in pretty boxes have replaced the traditional cake wrapped in doilies.<![CDATA[<br >]]>
Choose pretty bookmarks and have someone with great handwriting skills, inscribe each person’s name. Let these double as place cards. They serve a useful purpose at the reception, but are a practical take-home memento as well, because everyone reads books.
A very tiny bud vase, set at each place setting, can hold a single flower. With eight of these tiny floral displays around the table, a floral centrepiece may be unnecessary.
Set a scented candle or coloured candle at each place. Your guests may choose to take it home or light it to celebrate the occasion.<![CDATA[<br >]]>
Put the menu in small take-home frames. When you send your thank you notes, enclose a wedding picture that will fit into the frames.
