What happens when the most outrageous moments that can happen at a wedding are caught on tape? On Friday, April 24 at 9PM ET/PT, TLC premieres WILD WEDDINGS, a light-hearted look at some of the most amusing and out of control mishaps that can occur when the big day doesn’t go as planned. This entertaining six-part series takes a look at the many flops and fiascoes that make a wedding unforgettable. In each one-hour episode, viewers will see why anything can happen and at these chaotic affairs.

From a bride being escorted out of the reception on a stretcher, to a groom being doused by a fire hose, this series provides a variety of disarray that everyone can enjoy. WILD WEDDINGS also features surprising ceremonies, unconventional receptions, and some of the most creative proposals yet.

When a bride starts planning her special day, it can become costly in a matter of hours. The Club at Gaylord Springs® Golf Links wants all brides to “Have Your FREE Wedding Cake and Eat It Too!” with stress-free wedding and reception planning, and a stunning free wedding cake that will help her stash some cash for the honeymoon or new home.

As a special gift for booking your wedding or reception with the Club at Gaylord Springs® in 2009, your bridal party will receive a FREE* three-tired wedding cake worth more than 1,000. This cake will accommodate 150 guests. Choose from eight cake flavors, 11 fillings and three different types of icings. It is recommended that a photo of the decor be provided to match the bride’s personal style.

The wedding cake has been a part of history dating back to medieval times. The first wedding cake was a small, wheat-hardened bread-like cake that was broken over the bride’s head for prosperity. Now that times have changed, this decadent and sweet dessert that is the centerpiece of the event can be one of the most expensive items on a brides list of to-do’s.

The Club at Gaylord Springs® Golf Links is a 43,000-square-foot clubhouse and the centerpiece for the courses activities. This antebellum-style clubhouse offers beautiful views of the golf course and has been newly refurbished for the 2009 wedding season. Choose to have a stylish outdoor wedding under the pavilion or a ballroom setting inside with panoramic views of the golf course.

This year Valentines Day falls on a Saturday and as luck would have it, Saturday is also the most popular day for weddings.  For those brides and grooms who want to have a truly momentous day to cherish as their anniversary, Valentines 2009 is the perfect day to say, “I DO”. 

For colors, incorporate various shades of reds, pinks, and white.  Roses are the most popular flower associated with Valentines Day, but will be significantly more expensive, opt for tulips, orchids and carnations instead.

For your bridal party have your bridesmaids wear red and the groomsmen in winter white tuxes with red ties and boutonnières.  For your grand walk down the aisle, use a beautiful white monogrammed aisle runner lined with red rose petals and candles.  For the reception, go with white floor length table linen, red overlays, and white chair covers with a red sash.  As a centerpiece, incorporate various shades of pink, white and red flowers and again use lots of candles to give it that romantic touch and feel. A beautiful white cake accented with red flowers and a signature red or pink martini is something your guests will be sure to enjoy.  

One of the most important details that shouldn’t be overlooked is your candy or dessert bar! How can you have a Valentine’s Day wedding without allowing your guests to indulge themselves with various pink, white,\ and red desserts that will be sure to keep their attention? With all the love and whimsical romance associated with Valentines Day not only will you enjoy your wedding day, but your guests will too.

Black is not taboo as it once was when it comes to weddings.  Black is becoming a popular color of choice for brides wanting to create a unique and elegant theme or for those wanting a glamorous retro or “Old Hollywood” look. 

To ensure that your black and white affair isn’t dull or boring, it’s important to select accent colors and décor that will enhance the overall look and make your guest say “wow” when they walk into the reception venue.  If you want a glamorous Old Hollywood look, use white table linen and chair covers and use black chair sashes and napkins.  For your table centerpieces you want to keep it elegant and bold with minimal color and lots of candles.  

When choosing an accent color, go for deep reds to accent the overall look of your centerpiece. If your centerpieces are floral arrangements, go for a variety of white flowers and add a few red roses or tulips just to accent the centerpieces. For a centerpiece other than floral arrangements, like an elegant tall black or silver candelabra, add color by simply scattering a few fresh red rose petals on the table to create a dramatic look.   By selecting the perfect accent décor, your black and white wedding can be stunning and glamorous and your guests will be in amazed at the beauty.
