Internet bridal shops have wedding dresses for bargain basement prices, but make sure to order well in advance so that you can get your dress altered before the big day. I bought my gorgeous gown online for only $150, but it cost me another $200 to have it altered to fit me perfectly. Make sure to allow for additional expenses in your total budget.
You’re going to look at the pictures from your wedding for many years to come, so make sure that you get good quality photos taken. Select a professional to take your pictures, and do not be afraid to go above your budget if you have the money to ensure that you get the best photographs possible.
The single most important factor when you are getting married is also the most obvious, your choice in bride or groom. Marriage will change your life, and the decision to wed should never be taken lightly. Consider the person and what about them you can’t live without, and also the things about them that might irritate you.
Ask local boutiques about having small, individual portions of cake for the guests as your wedding. Some bakeries are able to make healthier cupcakes that contain less than 100 calories in each serving providing you with healthier options such as fruit- fillings in replacement to frosting, calorie-free sweeteners and gluten-free ingredients.
Embellish your bouquet with sparkle. You can use rhinestones, diamonds or Swarovski crystals. You can add some crystals that have been glued on, some costume jewelery, or an heirloom of your own. Make sure you stay consistent with these decorations in cut, color and dimensions so it goes well with what you are going to wear.
See if you can find a willing helper who can assist you with looking after your equipment and moving it when necessary. Your assistant can help you corral the wedding party for great photographs.
It is a good idea to plan for an even number of guests at each table, since people tend to pair off in conversations. Tables should also be grouped based on their age. This will help increase the chances that guests will be able to talk and chat together.
Post a schedule of events on your wedding website or send an itinerary with your wedding invitations. This helps out-of-town guests make appropriate travel plans, especially guests who are going to participate in your wedding rehearsal or other events. Your guests will appreciate knowing where they are expected and at what time; consider making a separate schedule for members of the wedding party.
Part of the wedding tradition is to wear “something borrowed,” so don’t hesitate to borrow jewelry from a friend. This will not only fill a gap in your wedding jewelry ensemble, but will also add a special touch to the day that you will remember fondly in the years to come.
These tips will help you create solid wedding plans and relax while doing so, which ensures that the focus will be where it should be come wedding day. Plan ahead for your wedding day because it can mark the beginning of a beautiful life with someone you love.
