Wedding Rituals: Washing of the Hands Wedding Ceremony

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

ocean isle beach nc wedding plannerPreviously, we examined the history and modern day practices of the Unity Sand Wedding Ceremony and the Tree Planting Ceremony. Now we’d like to share with our readers the Washing of the Hands Wedding Ceremony, which is a Jewish tradition that is also prevalent in Hawaiian ceremonies.

The hand-washing ceremony originates from the Old Testament and symbolizes “the removal of impurity and renewed spiritual integrity”. In modern day Jewish wedding ceremonies, each guest pours water over the bride and groom’s hands while offering good wishes on their marriage. The bowl and pitcher are also a wedding gift to the newlywed couple.

Similar to the Jewish ceremony, the Hawaiian ceremony represents a cleansing of the bride and groom’s spirits before marriage and represents the promise to easily forgive your partner throughout your married life. Hawaiians use ocean water to cleanse their hands, as they believe their lives are influenced and connected with the sea, and they use a koa bowl, pitcher or seashell.

We’re ready to help you incorporate the Hand-Washing Ceremony into your wedding! Contact our Ocean Isle Beach, NC wedding planners today for more information!

Insurance for Your Wedding Ring Protects from Loss or Theft

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Insurance for wedding ringsThe North Carolina beach wedding planners at Oceanfront Weddings of N.C. pride ourselves on helping brides with every aspect of their wedding and want you to ensure you address every step in beginning your life with your special someone. And so we’d like to share an important message from Allstate Insurance regarding protecting your weddings rings from loss or theft. In a recent article, Allstate Insurance recommended you protect what is for most women, the most expensive items they will ever wear, with an insurance policy rider. Adding a policy rider for your rings is easy, and can be added to your homeowners or renters insurance policy. You have other options as well, including insuring your rings through a specialty insurer, which your jeweler can help direct you in the right direction. Be prepared with receipts and, in some cases, an appraisal and contact your insurance agent to protect your ring from theft or loss today!

Ways to Relax Before Your Big Day

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Beachfront Wedding in North CarolinaWedding preparations leaving you stressed? Don’t let them! The Oceanfront Weddings of N.C. staff in Ocean Isle Beach, NC recommends the following ways to unwind prior to your wedding day, leaving you ready to enjoy every minute of your special day.

The key to unwinding is escaping your hectic environment. Reading a book or magazine allows you to enter another world, or watch a funny television show or movie. (Laughter is, after all, the best medicine!) If solitude is what you’re seeking, set aside a specific amount of time and soak in a bubble bath, or take a nap. Just make sure you stick to it and let no one interrupt you! Exercise, even if it’s just a walk on the beach or some light yoga, will leave you feeling refreshed as well. 

And perhaps most importantly, don’t feel you have to tackle every task yourself. Hire a wedding planner, or more than likely friends and family will offer help if needed. Lean on them to help you – they’re here to make sure your big day is all you want it to be!
