Prevent Wedding Trouble With These Tips

TIP! For a more affordable wedding, consider setting a date outside the traditional season for weddings. The wedding season traditionally begins in May lasting through September.

It’s important to remember that weddings are all about love, and less about how much money you spend on them. The important thing about the wedding day is the couple and the people they love. This article is going to help you concentrate on the key parts of your wedding.

TIP! Choosing your favorite gown online can be faster and cheaper, but do so well in advance to allot extra time for alterations. You want to make sure that you think about other expenses that you might not commonly think of, like having the wedding gown altered, which can cost extra money.

Realize that religion is going to play a major role on your actual wedding day and moving forward in your marriage. Discuss all aspects of your religion with who you plan on marrying as well as their family too, just so they are comfortable with your beliefs.

TIP! Spice up your wedding reception by choosing an ethnic inspired menu. Chicken and steak have both been done.

Practice your walk down the aisle many times on the days leading up to the wedding. Try to practice at the wedding site so you can test your chosen shoes on the flooring at the site. This will ensure you’re graceful and confident when the time comes.

Wedding Dress

TIP! Coordinate small touches into all the aspects of the wedding decor. You can use a nice little ribbon in many places, such as on your gown, in your hair, or even intertwined with bouquets of flowers.

Wedding dresses can be quite an expense. If you are not looking for a traditional, princess type ballgown, consider looking into other types of dresses. For example, a formal white dress, such as a prom or bridesmaid dress, will not be as expensive as a wedding dress. Even if this dress is not perfect and you need some adjustments made to make it your dream dress, it could still run you quite a bit less then an actual wedding dress.

TIP! Don’t forget about transportation! Limos should be booked well ahead of time. This is a great idea for people who drink.

Use the property of someone you know. If someone you know owns a large piece of property, like a farm or a place with a large backyard, you can cut down a major cost. Pay someone to clean for them before and after your wedding.

TIP! Do not crowd tables with too many flowers. Much of the time, table arrangements will just be in the guests’ way.

If a wedding cake with a high price tag or high calorie count doesn’t appeal to you, check around at local bakeries for beautiful individual portions. Many bakeries can provide wedding cupcakes that come in at 100 calories or less per serving. Other healthier options include gluten-free pastries, no-calorie sweeteners, and icing alternatives, such as meringue or fruit spreads.

You may want to consider a wedding aboard a cruise ship. Your honeymoon will start right after the ceremony. You may even get a great wedding deal.

TIP! For any stylish and fashion forward bride, there is always the option to add some flare to a bouquet with a splash of diamonds, rhinestones or Swarovski crystals. You can use small pieces of costume jewelry, heat-fixed or adhesive crystals, or perhaps a treasured heirloom.

One way to help remain in budget is to search Craigslist for items or services needed for your wedding. Make sure to meet them in person, with your groom for safety, before you give them any money.

TIP! See if you can find a willing helper who can assist you with looking after your equipment and moving it when necessary. They can also help you track down family members, and get them together for group photographs.

If the groom and bride have different cultural backgrounds, plan a ceremony that honors both side’s traditions with a reception that incorporates traditional decor, rituals and dishes from each side’s background. This will satisfy the family traditions of both the groom and bride’s family.

TIP! Even if your dress is picked and already paid for, it is a good idea to keep it safely at the shop until the big day. In this way, you can be certain it will be properly stored and protected from damage.

When young children are in the wedding party, make sure they are dressed in clothing that is comfortable for them. Dress them in soft, comfortable fabrics that are airy and fit loosely. New shoes need to be broken in so that they don’t cause pain on the big day. This allows the kids time to focus on what they have to do instead of struggling with their outfits.

TIP! Consider being married on a cruise ship surrounded only by family and friends. This will allow you to enjoy your honeymoon as soon as the festivities are over.

If you plan on making a wedding speech or giving a toast, you should practice beforehand. If you don’t plan and rehearse properly, you could embarrass yourself by talking too much, making an offensive joke, or simply forgetting what to say.

TIP! You need to have a well-organized plan for every step of the wedding process, from food to reception events. Make everyone feel warm and welcome on your wedding day.

Seasonal flowers that are native to your state may not be easy to find at your wedding location, especially if it’s a completely different climate. Consult with a florist to see which flowers are in season or most readily available at the time of your wedding.

TIP! Do some homework on wedding planning before meeting with a planner. Use fashion designers as inspiration and create a look book of inspiration that can be used as a starting off point.

Always consider the arrangements for guests that will be invited to a destination wedding. You do not want to give your guests extra anxiety. Try to send out save-the-date cards no less than eight months ahead so that your guests can make the necessary plans.

TIP! Prior to deciding on a destination wedding, be sure you know of the laws of the location. No matter the fees, red tape, residency requirements or other issues, your needs must be addressed before you start booking services and hotels for your wedding.

In the earliest planning stages of your wedding, you should prioritize your strongest desires. For some couples, the venue is higher on the list than the cake, or the table decorations are higher on the list than the music, and so on. A prioritized list will help you plan your budget, and delegate the funds to the right area.

TIP! Ensure your flowers look great. If vintage themes are your choice, then beautiful flowers in vibrant hues may provide the effect you desire.

Instead of elaborate and pricy floral arrangements, consider placing various potted plants around the ceremony and the reception venues. Use colorful, glazed ceramic pots, or dress up earthy terracotta stoneware with ribbons, decoupage, or decorative paint effects. When the wedding is over, the guests can then take those plants home with them as a favor and have a constant reminder of the new couple.

TIP! As you begin to plan your wedding, make a prioritized list of your wants. Flowers are usually one of the most important parts of a wedding, and the cake and venue are usually up near the top, too.

Write your vows yourself. You know your spouse better than anyone else. Composing your own wedding vows makes this ceremony more meaningful and romantic, improving the intimacy between you. By all means, look for inspiration in different places, but make the words your own.

TIP! Add depth to your floral decor and centerpieces by incorporating floral elements of different heights. Use vases that are tall for long stem and compact head flowers.

When searching for wedding music, research bands or DJs you want to use. Ask for contacts and references before you hire them. After you make a final decision, make certain to have a firm date on a contract. You don’t want to wind up without music at your reception!

TIP! Choose group activities to fill your special day with fun. Don’t make your loved ones just stand around and wait for the wedding to be over.

Don’t let your family members influence your whole day with their traditions or suggestions; this is a day for you and your spouse, not for them. Let them know in no uncertain terms that the two of you are in control and that they have no say in the matter. That way, you won’t have any regrets about how the wedding day goes.

TIP! Take your fiance with you when you get fitted for your tuxedo. Ask others for an opinion before choosing a tuxedo.

Serve a small meal at the reception. If you want to have a lot of guests at your wedding, you may need to cut costs in other areas. One way to definitely shave costs is by serving a smaller meal at the reception. If this is unacceptable, you may need to trim your guest list.

TIP! Your wedding venue should play a role in decisions about your theme, decor, and floral arrangements. For example, a tall, complicated arrangement may get toppled over on a windy day.

A wedding is not about the fancy decorations. By focusing on love, your wedding will be truly memorable. Use this advice to make for a great wedding that everyone has fun at.

KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE

So, you’re about to decide on your catering options, and you’re bamboozled by the range of menu items on offer. The team at The Difference Catering explain your options and help you work out what will be best to serve to your guests.

It’s worth remembering these points before you get started:

• Provide a variety of foods to please all appetites and tastes.

• Check with guests regards food intolerances – do you need gluten free options?

• Try to provide a mix of hot and cold food.

• How long is your function and what time of day is it?

• Is your event formal or informal?

And remember – you are not in the kitchen at your own event, so preparation is a key ingredient.

The amount of food you require per person depends on how long your guests will be milling before the main meal, whether there is indeed a main meal to follow, and whether that main meal is light or more full. As a general guide allow 3-4 canapés per person for pre-dinner drinks of an hour’s duration or four pieces of finger food per person per hour for a cocktail or standing event.

A popular option, if you do not have the time or space for a sit down meal, is to have a standing or grazing menu consisting of a combination of the following styles eaten over the duration. This allows guests to mingle, encouraging a fun and fluid atmosphere.

FROSTING OR FONDANT?

As with all aspects of your wedding cake, the covering comes down to your own preference and style. I were to marry my gorgeous husband all over again, I would choose frosting. I love the informality of frosting; it’s very nature ties in beautifully with the vintage themes that are so popular. To my mind, there is nothing prettier than a frosted cake with beautiful ribbon, adorned with fresh flowers – just stunning!

If you like a slightly more formal design but prefer the taste of frosting, then you should consider opting for a smooth frosted base, embellished with fondant decorations. Hand-made sugar flowers are particularly effective.

If you do opt for a frosted design, remember to ask your cake designer what type of frostings they offer. A cream cheese frosting or a pure white snow cream frosting seem to appeal to the vast majority, but there are other options available that your cake designer may also be able to offer, including Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Italian Meringue Buttercream or American frosting – all super yummy!

If your tastes lean more towards fondant, then the design options are extremely varied. I would feel confident to say that any theme can be bought to life with fondant. It is possible to create all sorts of magic, right across the board, from simple elegance to flirty ruffles and intricately detailed sugar flowers. Fondant does exceptionally well in the hands of very artistic cake designers who can create extroadinary wonders with it – whether on cupcakes or a more traditional wedding cake.

One of the main things to consider is the season you are marrying in. Be mindful that your cake designer should be asking you about the venue and where the cake table is situated, particularly if you are considering frosting during the summer. No cake will take kindly to being placed in direct heat or sunlight! Most established wedding venues are well aware of this and will provide an appropriate setting. However, if you plan to marry in a domestic or rural setting, please do not be tempted to think that the cake will look beautiful situated outside for all the guests to admire during the ceremony – it will not look very beautiful after it has been sitting for an hour or two in the February heat and all the icing has melted onto the ground!

CAKE BUDGETS

For many, the excitement of putting your wedding dreams into play is rapidly curbed when faced with budgets. Unless you have a very talented baker and icer in your circle of friends, chances are you’ll turn to a professional for your cake. After all, it needs to look fantastic, taste incredible and be of a size that will cater for all your guests.

I was often faced with a look of dismay when I gave couples a price for the elaborate cake they’djust described. “Really? That much? It’s just a cake!” They fail to take into account that to feed 120 people, the cake needs to be of a certain size – and most cake designers will work out a cost based on a per-slice basis – depending on how you choose to serve your cake. You will need larger serves if your cake is going to be the dessert, and smaller serves if the cake is served later with coffee.

Substituting the wedding cake for a dessert may sound like it should save you the cost of catered desserts; however, because you will need larger serves you will need more cake. These serves are often accompanied by a crème fraiche and a berry coulis, which your caterer may charge for. Some venues will also charge a plating fee, similar to a corkage fee for BYO wines.

The couples also often fail to recognise the man-hours involved in creating those handcrafted sugar flowers they’d like, or just how long the designer will spend detailing those piped lacey trims and the intricate design work they’ve envisaged. It might be time to create something less detailed, yet equally as gorgeous, to stay within your budget.

GEODE, MARBLE & METALLIC

Every yin has its yang. For all of the whimsical, dreamy, pastel cakes we’ve seen, it’s time for cakes with a more solid source of inspiration. Designs inspired by all things rocky – marble, agates, geode and metallic – are some of the biggest trends in luxury wedding cakes.

This is another trend that started in one design world and then made its way onto cakes. Geodes and marble can be spotted in trendy jewellery and home décor designs. From a geode-studded sash to a terrarium centerpiece covered in crystalised rocks and white rock candy cocktail stirrers, rock and crystal-inspired weddings are trending.

If you want a statement cake, look no further. Whether your wedding tone is subtle or strong, this trend will make your centerpiece a masterpiece. Pair blush tones with rose gold or, if you really want to stand out, bring in gold and jewel-tones. This trend is major, and there are options to do a little or a lot!

Up the wow-factor at your wedding and replace edible flowers on your cakes with edible rocks and crystals. As one of the newer trends in wedding cakes, it is predicted to kick off big-time, and it isn’t hard to see why when you lay your eyes on the unique and eye catching final products.

Geode cakes are all the rage. Your guests won’t be gawking at your engagement ring bling once they see your cake. Colourful, complex and mesmerising, they take hours of planning and work, but they are show-stoppingly gorgeous. Made of crystallised coloured sugar, these beauties are sure to steal the show at any wedding and ensure loads of editorial-worthy photography. Choose a “stone” that represents the two of you — the birthstone of the month you’re getting married, perhaps?

A marbleised cake looks statuesque. With its swirled patterns, these cakes will have your guests wondering if you’re really going to cut into such a gorgeous work of art. Go classic with soft grey and white colours to really bring home the stone pattern, or use your wedding colours for a more modern and festive confection. Soften things up by adding fresh flowers in bold colours or structural greenery.

Metallics are here to stay. Warm tones shine loud and proud all on their own, or can be paired with virtually any colour. Copper and Rose Gold have been the most popular, but silver works equally well with both soft or bold colour palettes. Adding just a touch of sparkle, scattered edible gold and silver leaf helps achieve an imperfect textured look. Perfect for adding a little glam!

CAKE SIZES

Your wedding cake will be a focal point at your reception, and the cutting of your cake will be the first task you will undertake as a newly married couple.

For many couples, the size of the wedding cake is a balance of what you need and what you want, and somewhere in between will be your budget!

So how do you decide on the size of your designer wedding cake? On a practical front, the size of your cake should match the number of guests attending your reception, plus any additional tier(s) that you want kept for a future event.

The first decision to make is how you plan to serve your wedding cake. Will it be served with coffee, as an addition to other desserts, or as a plated dessert?

How does this relate to your wedding cake? Let’s look at an average three-tiered round cake measuring 15cm, 20cm and 25cm. Depending on how it is cut, the same cake can be served in different ways: 200 finger serves, 150 small coffee serves, 100 standard coffee or small dessert serves, or 50 full size dessert serves.

Your wedding cake specialist will be able to guide you to the most suitable size for your reception. There are many options available when catering for larger weddings, including having kitchen cutting cakes that are iced but not decorated and that are not displayed. This lowers the cost overall.

The grooms often think that these serving suggestions are much too small! Do remember that your wedding cake will be served after a full wedding meal, often including several courses, and your guests will likely be very well fed! Unless you are happy to have cake left over, there is no need to over-cater when it comes to your wedding cake.

For small weddings, a single tiered wedding cake placed on a cake stand is just as beautiful.

Things That You Need To Know When It Comes To Wedding Planning

TIP! Practice your walk down the aisle many times on the days leading up to the wedding. Make sure that you do this at the actual site of the wedding, as you will want to test out the floor with the shoes you are going to wear.

TIP! Purchasing your wedding gown on the internet can be a budget saver, cutting down your costs by hundreds of dollars. Make sure to order early so you have time for alterations if any need to be made.

It is obvious that that most important aspect to think about in a marriage is the one whom you will marry. Do not rush this life altering lifelong decision. Think about this person and what things will drive you crazy, along with what you can’t live without.

TIP! Keep the wedding in line with how you are personally. Make sure it reflects your spouse as well.

Spend quite a bit of time writing your vows so that they include all the things that are important to your union with your spouse. It’s important to understand that a marriage is a strong commitment that takes both of you making sacrifices. When you are saying your vows ensure your spouse knows and understands that you love them with all of your heart.

TIP! Use a friend’s property to host your wedding. For example, a large backyard could be the perfect setting, and you will save a lot of money this way.

Don’t wait until your wedding day to try walking in your shoes and gown. Practice going down the aisle until you feel comfortable. If you are worried about a twisted ankle, choose attractive flats instead. Footwear that’s not so sexy is preferable to falling on your bottom on your wedding day!

TIP! Try tying small decorative items into each element in the wedding decor. You can use the same ribbon on centerpieces, your dress or as a hair embellishment.

A multi-tiered wedding cake can set you back well over a thousand dollars. You can save money by serving cupcakes, small tarts, or cake pops. These arrangements are beloved for their affordable price range, versatility, and convenience. Guests can even take a cupcake home.

TIP! Make sure that you carefully consider what to include in your vows, as they will be something that your future spouse remembers forever. Marriage is a life long commitment that requires love, sacrifice and the art of compromise and forgiveness.

Your assistant just needs to be someone who is capable of keeping up with all your photographic gear and following along unobtrusively behind you. Your assistant can help you corral the wedding party for great photographs.

TIP! Evenly disperse all of your invited guests among the available tables at your wedding reception. This means making sure there are no odd numbers at any table.

Your guests shouldn’t have to hang around while your pictures are taken. The pictures with the groom’s and bride’s parties should be shot ahead of time. The pictures for the bride, groom and immediately family can also be done in advance.

TIP! If you can, it’s a good idea to have a cruise ship wedding with just your family and close friends. Your honeymoon will start right after the ceremony.

If possible, see if your reception venue offers lighting choices. Certain occasions throughout the evening will call for their own separate mood and lighting, such as a first dance or cutting of the cake. Ask the venue about this before committing to it.

TIP! You can turn one of your friends into a “mail-order minister” so that she can officiate the ceremony. Your ceremony will be less formal, and you will save money.

If you want a relative or friend to officiate the wedding, they can get ordained online. This will not only save you money by not having to pay for an officiant, but will also make your wedding very special. Always consult your local laws to ensure that this is legal, and be sure to get the right paperwork and accreditation in order.

TIP! If you wish to serve guests multiple courses, make sure they are entertained with dishes of small and sweet appetizers on each table. Consider sugar roses which match the wedding colors.

If you plan a destination wedding, consider your guests’ travel arrangements. You may have guests who will make vacation plans around this day and they should have adequate time to prepare. You can send out invitations or reminders to save the date as far as eight months ahead of time. This will allow your guests to make proper arrangements.

Vows Yourself

TIP! If you plan to give a speech at a wedding, write out and practice what you will say beforehand. If you are unprepared for the speech, this can become very obvious very quickly, and leave you feeling humiliated in front of the other guests.

You should definitely consider writing your wedding vows yourself. Of course, copying vows from another source is easier, but keep in mind that your partner knows you well. When you write your vows yourself, you add a bit more meaning and depth to this special day to remember. Use inspiration if needed, but add your own special touch.

TIP! Plan every aspect of the wedding from the food to the events that occur within the reception. Those that have elected to join you on this important day in your life deserve to enjoy themselves.

As you audition various videographers to film your wedding and reception, compare several vendors. Always request a portfolio, or ask to see an online gallery of previous clients. Look at the sound and quality of the video as well as the editing. You could get wedding on VHS tapes a long time ago, but getting them on digital video or DVDs can help you enjoy them for years. Consider the facts and your impressions of the videographers available to make a decision.

TIP! When planning an outdoor wedding, it is important to have an alternate plan established so that you are prepared if bad weather becomes a factor. Whether you rent some kind of rain cover, or have a location that can accommodate a quick move inside, always have a plan.

You can save money when planning your wedding by thinking of flower arrangement alternatives. Use your imagination when it comes to what your flower girl could carry. Use silk flowers, which will cost you much less. Silk flowers save money and can be kept afterwards. Plus, silk flower arrangements can be made weeks or months in advance so that you can be sure you have exactly what you want.

TIP! Do your research before hiring a wedding planner. Consider creating a scrap book of appealing fabric swatches and wedding images that represent the look that you are going for.

Your family might encourage you to follow tradition or make certain choices, but this day is about you and your spouse-to-be. Thank them for any suggestions and kindly decline their ideas with an explanation that it is your turn to make these decisions. As you reflect on that day when you had your wedding, you will not regret it.

TIP! Gift registry is a tried-and-true wedding tradition. For a pleasant atmosphere, you should make your guests understand that they do not have to bring anything.

Begin planning your wedding as early as possible. If your wedding is well into the future, you have more choices in venues and services. This allows you to get services you not only need, but can afford.

TIP! Find a wedding day photographer who is able to capture memories. Ask the photographer how he sees the day unfolding.

Ask your vendors for recommendations about the other services that you need. Ask your photographer if they can recommend a good band. Ask the band if they can recommend a caterer for you. These vendors may give you great rates, as well.

TIP! Add depth to your floral decor and centerpieces by incorporating floral elements of different heights. Put taller flowers in tall vases with compact heads.

Brides ought to practice their smile in their mirror. This will help you to be sure that your smile looks great in the wedding photos. A bit of practice will ensure you get the effect you most desire.

If a Groom were to smash a piece of cake

If a Groom were to smash a piece of cake over his Bride’s head now, I doubt that it would be well received – all the more so after she’s spent so long on the hairdo and make up. It used to represent his power over her, but we’re supposed to be equal these days….. (that’s fodder for another article altogether).

All jest aside, the cake cutting tradition in modern times still carries a lot of weight, and no small amount of emotion. The ritual symbolises the couple’s commitment to provide for one another, and to nurture each other, and the beginning of a new life together.

And let’s face it, the sharing of food with friends we care for, and who care about us, is as old as time, and something that doesn’t go out of fashion.

So, while we may ask “Why have a wedding cake? ” … it seems the humble (or not so humble, depending on your budget) wedding cake is here to stay for a wee while yet.

SEASONAL CAKE

You may decide you want to reflect the seasonal timing of your wedding in your cake, and carry the seasonal theme through the rest of your celebration in relation to the venue, decor and settings, what you wear and what you eat.

Summer is the most popular time of year to marry, for obvious reasons it’s “easier”, warmer, you can wear less, waft about on dry grass, paddle barefoot in the sea, enjoy a garden ceremony, dance in a marquee …. It simply allows for more options and, as far as any cake goes, the same thing applies. Lush flowers, lots of colour, abundance, shells, beach themes … almost anything goes. Bright painted floral designs work well.

Pretty much the same applies to Springtime, although it is perhaps a more delicate time of year … softer colours, a lighter touch; birds, bees and butterflies and gentle florals. Citrus flavour cakes are more popular at this time of year, and in the Summer months, too.

Tips For Planning A Wedding Without Fighting With Your Fiance

TIP! Religion will play a big role not only in your wedding ceremony but in your marriage as a whole. It is wise to have conversations with your future mate and his or her family to be sure you all understand each other’s religious beliefs.

Marriage is a wonderful, beautiful thing

Marriage is a wonderful, beautiful thing, but weddings can be extremely stressful. The planning that a successful wedding takes can be absolutely overwhelming. The article below will provide you with advice to make the whole wedding process less stressful.

TIP! If you’re wanting to have money for other things concerning your wedding, try keeping a tighter budget on the venue by picking a wedding date that’s not necessarily in season. This would be sometime that is not between May and September.

Practice your walk many times. If possible, practice your aisle walk at the site where your wedding will be. This will give you an opportunity to practice on the actual floor using the shoes you will be wearing on your wedding day. By doing this, you will not have any issues with obstructions in the floor or nervousness from those watching you during the big moment.

TIP! Wedding pictures are very important, you can look back at them whenever you want. Hire a professional to take your photographs even if it costs a little more as you’ll be able to rely on the fact that your entire day will be captured properly.

For a more affordable wedding, consider setting a date outside the traditional season for weddings. That may means having a wedding in a less popular month or on a weekday, but the savings can be significant. During these months, venues become more expensive. To help ensure you are able to book the perfect venue, plan well in advance.

TIP! When you are planning your wedding don’t forget that people are going to need to get from your venue back to their hotel. For people without a ride, be sure a taxi or limo can bring them to their destination after the reception.

Choose ethnic catering to spice things up. Steak or chicken are over-served and boring, so why not include a variety of food in your food choices? Ethnic foods and decor will help your reception be memorable.

TIP! Don’t use a ton of flowers on the tables that guests will be sitting at during your wedding reception. Often, flowers interfere with guests being able to converse across the table.

Add special little decorative touches to all of the element in your wedding. Take the ribbon you use in a bouquet for instance, and use the same ribbon for table centerpieces, your hair or your gown. These little details will add up to create one giant aesthetic.

TIP! Be certain to look for skilled photographers with experience before committing to one in particular. A good photographer is crucial.

Keep transportation in mind when planning your wedding. Try having taxis or limos ready for people that don’t have rides back to the hotel after it ends. This is the right thing to do if you’re serving alcohol at your reception.

TIP! Keep in mind all things when considering a venue for your receptions, like having adequate dance floor space. You can make room by moving some chairs and tables around when it’s time to dance, just make sure you find enough space for people to get their groove on.

Make sure that you carefully consider what to include in your vows, as they will be something that your future spouse remembers forever. Marriage is a life long commitment that requires love, sacrifice and the art of compromise and forgiveness. Let your partner know how much you adore them and that you really do want to spend forever with them.

TIP! If you want to add some sparkle and class to your bouquet, use crystals, diamonds, or rhinestones. You can use small pieces of costume jewelry, heat-fixed or adhesive crystals, or perhaps a treasured heirloom.

While it’s important to provide your wedding DJ with a list of songs you love and wish to be played at your reception, it’s equally as important to let him know what you DON’T like. It might be specific genres you wish to avoid, or even particular songs that relate to a past relationship. No matter what it is, make sure the DJ knows so that you don’t have any unpleasant surprises playing at the wedding.

TIP! When asking friends or family to come to a destination wedding, you may want to ask them to stay around for your honeymoon too. Everyone can save money by staying longer, as hotels will give you great discounts for longer stays.

Take the time to look at the work of different photographers

Take the time to look at the work of different photographers before committing to one. You want your photographer to know exactly what they are doing. If you’d like to learn about the photographers around where you live, you can look to the Internet for reviews or ask people you know for references.

TIP! Put your schedule of events online, so that all guests can access it at any time. Include events such as the rehearsal, dinners, fittings and anything else they might need to appear at.

Don’t make guests wait around while taking pictures. Take your bridal party photos in advance of the wedding when you are all fresh and crisp. Make a list of all the shots that you want and arrange for many of them to be taken before the wedding begins.

TIP! Even if your dress is picked and already paid for, it is a good idea to keep it safely at the shop until the big day. Putting it away in a closet could cause it to become wrinkled or even stained.

One detail to consider is that the venue lighting can be dimmed, if necessary. While this may appear trivial, you want to have this option, perhaps for your first dance, then brighter for the remainder of your ceremony. Ask the folks running your venue if you have that option.

TIP! Do not allow your guests to get bored or restless between the courses of your meal. Why not look for sugar roses that match your wedding theme.

If you choose a wedding cake full of vibrant color that stands out as a focal point in your reception, you can enhance it further by presenting it on top of a fabric swatch coordinated with the cake itself. You could even select a patterned or strongly textured fabric to focus attention on the cake and its beauty.

TIP! Children who are participating in your ceremony should have comfortable clothes. By utilizing softer fabrics, the children in your ceremony will look great while feeling quite comfortable.

Flowers that might be abundant in your home territory may not be widely available if you happen to be in the Cayman Islands or Greece. Make contact with professionals who reside near your destination site to inquire which flowers are in bloom and available to use for your ceremony.
