Something to consider, especially for fine weather day time outdoor weddings, is amusements for your guests. Evening weddings will tend to fill the reception hours with music and dancing. While this isn’t out of the question outdoors, you’ll need to perhaps consider hiring a dance floor.

The alternative is to dot the venue’s ground with games, and you can’t go wrong with giant chess or jenga, lawn bowls, crochet or toss-the-hoop style games.

You could also think outside the square and order up a few carnival themed amusements, such as a kissing booth, coconut shy or even a fortune telling booth!

Companies such as Vintage Amusement Co offer hand-painted signage and a full design and consultation service. In fact, they can create an entire carnival for your guests’ enjoyment!

Whatever you do, on the day, be prepared so that you can relax and enjoy it all. One way to do this is to have a time line of the day prepared, and ensure that everyone who should know has a copy. Don’t sell yourself short by cutting things too fine, and then panicking because you’re running way over time! Give yourself plenty of leeway.

Getting ready should be a fun time with your maids and mum. Allow plenty of time for your hair and makeup artist to work their magic. If your photographer is in attendance during your prep time, allocate a few precious minutes for them to get close up shots of your dress, shoes, hair, flowers, rings and other important accessories. It’s also fun to have a few photos taken during the hair and makeup stages.

While the bridal party photos may be heaps of fun, they can drag over on time. It’s awkward for the guests to wait around for 2 or 3 hours, even if you’ve plied them with drinks and nibbles and provided a little entertainment. They’re there to share the day with you – not a fire eater or musician!

If you’re planning on a first look with your partner, allocate a decent amount of time. It’s such a special moment for the two of you, and the last thing you want mid-tears and heartfelt emotions is to be nagged to leave!

If your venue is in an area renowned for fabulous sunsets, and your wedding is scheduled for mid to late afternoon, ask your photographer if they’d like to shoot while the sun is dipping. If the answer is yes, plan for this in your schedule well ahead of time – you might need to shift a few things around to make it work, but that romantic shot may make all the juggling worth while.

Don’t let speeches drag on. Have your MC or DJ prepped to keep things under control. Running late could spoil the timing of food coming out of the kitchen. Plus, if you have set a cut off time for your photographer, videographer and DJ, you may well find they’re ready to leave before you’ve had your first dance!

Talkng of food … make sure you allocate time for yourself to actually eat. So many newly weds don’t!

Lastly, envisage this … everyone is having the time of their lives and the party is just revving up at 10pm, but the DJ and photographer are getting ready to leave because that’s the time you agreed. To avoid situations like this, discuss with the venue and any essential suppliers how much extra they would charge if you did want them to hang around for another hour or two.

Memorable photos Guests at weddings loooove to take photos … and what better way to provide them with that opportunity than with a photo booth. In 2017 you can forget about traditional photo booths and say hello to some slomo booths, GIF booths other interesting options that will entertain your guests for hours. Plus, you can program your booth to text photos and videos directly to your guests’ phones, so they can share and upload fresh images from your wedding and take many amazing memories home with them.

Couples are also going crazy for interesting and imaginative photos in wild locations, poses and themes. If you want your wedding photos to be memorable too, you can consult experts in wedding photography who will no doubt add their own amazing ideas and then bring it all to life with their skills.

Unique menus Many couples choose to tell their unique love story through food. They often choose to serve dishes that represent their culture, match the venue or remind them of the place where they met and fell in love. Wedding caterers are working closely with couples in order to create unique menus for their special day. Your guests will still get their standard fish, beef and vegetarian options, but this time with an interesting twist. Many couples also opt to go local, serving traditional meals made with local ingredients that are in season.

Drink up Same goes with drinks. Serve your guests your favourite drink or cocktail. Interesting and imaginative drinks are great conversation starters and often cheaper than an open bar. You can even turn your cocktail into an ice pop – perfect for summer ceremonies. Rosé wine will be present everywhere. Expect to see rosés in the wine selection, in a champagne form or during the cocktail hour. You can’t go wrong with rosé, especially for the colour it will add.

Naturally you don’t have to incorporate all of these into your wedding, but feel free to spice it up with some of these new 2017 trends to blow your guests away.

1. Do damage control – ask your florist to bring a spare boutonniere or two, in case one gets lost or damaged.

2. Prepare for the worst – Pack an emergency kit with eye drops, mints, a stain-remover stick, nail polish, and fashion tape for wardrobe malfunctions.

3. Be considerate – Bring along a few pairs of earplugs for any guest who finds the music at the reception a bit too loud.

4. Take cover – If there’s rain in the forecast, stock up on umbrellas and arrange for friends to help guests get from their cars into the venue.

5. Arm yourself – have tissues on hand or, for your something blue, a lovely blue hanky. You never know when tears will flow.

6. Make contact – Tuck a contact list of all vendors in your handbag. Be sure to get their weekend on-call numbers!

7. Get shot of it – if you haven’t already, hand over your shot list to your photographer so no vital photos are missed.

8. Ring it in – The rings! Who’s got them? Make sure they are in the right hands (traditionally, this is the job of the best man).

You’ve selected the card for your invites, argued over the font, debated the wording … but, have you considered these points below?

1. It’s courtesy to send an invitation to close family or friends who have already told you that they can’t make your big day. If they’re important to you, show you care. For the sake of a few extra dollars, you’ll make them feel just a tad special, and they’ll have a momento even though they can’t be present.

2. Double check how your envelopes are addressed, particularly if your affair is a very formal one. If they’re a doctor, for instance, use that instead of Mr or Mrs!

3. Are you having a wedding gift registry? In that case, ensure it is noted on the invitation!

4. If you’re enclosing RSVP cards and expect them to be posted back to you (as opposed to an email or wedding website), then please go to the extra expense of adding a postage stamp!

5. If you’re personalising your invites, be sure to include ALL parties and family members who are invited. For instance, on the invite for your aunt and uncle, don’t leave off a cousin if you anticipate them being there. The same goes with long-term partners of close friends – if they’ve been in a relationship for some time, it’s hardly likely one will turn up without the other!

6. On a similar note, if you are permitting plus-ones …. it’s good form to get the plus one’s name; not only for the invite, but also for name cards and place settings.

7. Before you drop all the addressed invites into the mail, double check you’ve added the right postage. By the time you bundle an RSVP card, a map and directions, a fancy closure or diamante, etc into the ornate envelope, you may well find you’re over the limit for standard postage! It’s especially important to check this for offshore items, and vital if you have an odd-shaped invite and envelope!

8. Lastly, while you may pride yourself on being critical, get a third party to proof read your invites before they are printed! All too often you can read the same thing five or six times and STILL miss small errors!

This year’s wedding season is in full swing with some new trends and musts. If you don’t know how to make your nuptials trendy and on point, here are some hot trends you should keep your eye on.

Unique invitations If you want your guests to be excited for the wedding from the very beginning, then you must have some eye-catching invitations. Just some of the trends in that department are glow-in-the-dark ink invitations, Plexiglas, stamps and some very bold envelopes. This way, your invitation will never get misplaced or forgotten.

Add a splash of colour While neutrals and pastels have always been a safe way to go when it comes to weddings, in 2017 bold colours are where it’s at. What you’re going to see are some bright colour pairings and bold shades. Since greenery is the Colour of the Year, you can expect to see a lot of this earthy and vibrant shade everywhere, from napkins to bridesmaids’ dresses. This colour is perfect for all seasons, venues and themes.

Bring it to life Wedding decorators are going back to nature, filling venues with potted trees and plants, and decorating tables with wood and stone. Those nature elements will make your nuptials look like a fairytale wedding. Don’t hesitate to supersize your bouquets and revisit some of the oldschool elements such as pageants and cascades.

Yeah, you’ve heard it all before … lists, lists and more lists. But seriously, you only get one chance to get things right, so it pays to go over your To Do items again and again. Have you really thought of it all?

LEGALITIES Ensure you have your officiant booked and your marriage licence sorted.

ORDER Have you written up an order of the day sheet? Having a program to work with makes it easier for all your suppliers to coordinate, and for those helping out on the day to stick to schedule. Include cellphone numbers for all suppliers, assistants, the venue staff, your photographer, and of course the bride and groom.

MUSIC Have you booked your DJ and sorted your playlist out? Go through your song choices carefully. We saw a note recently about breakup songs sounding, quite often, like love songs!

READINGS Have you asked anyone to give a reading during your ceremony? Whatever you do, don’t have a dozen people standing up to have their moment. The general rule is 3 readings or songs max, and around 90 seconds each in length.

RITUALS Couples tying the knot quite often want to include some form of ritual in their ceremony. Whether it’s lighting candles together, performing a sand ceremony, sipping champagne, skulling a shot of tequilla or vodka, or breaking a glass/plate … do check that it’s okay with your venue first. Check also that your chosen ritual sits well with both the bride and groom, and parents or family. In today’s world of multi-cultural weddings, this could be an issue!
