When planning a wedding, be sure to consider the weather. Your guests probably won’t be willing to stay at your outdoor wedding and celebrate, when it’s miserably hot. If your wedding takes place in the winter, no one may stay long, if the day is quite cold. Always remember to accommodate your guests, and provide fans for a summer wedding or portable heaters for a wedding in the cold winter months.

TIP! Consider opening a credit card that offers a rewards program. Since you’re likely to run up a good bill footing your wedding, getting miles and other perks out of the whole shebang is a good idea.

TIP! Hand over parts of your planning and preparations to others. Because a wedding is such a personal expression of your love and personalities, it is easy to get carried away with all of the details.

It may seem like planning for a wedding is hard no matter what you do, but these tips will help you. The suggestions given are there to help specifically with planning the big day. Hopefully you will be able to use this information as your big day approaches.

Do what you can to make sure your guests are comfortable; provide fans in the summer or small heaters in the winter.

TIP! When you look for a wedding photographer, avoid giving the task to friends. Unless your friend works as a professional photographer, he won’t have the skill to capture your beautiful memories.

The bride should practice smiling before the wedding. 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.

TIP! You should let the DJ know what is okay to play and what isn’t okay to play. Was there a song that you loved once but you no longer do? Whatever your tastes may be, communicate them so your wedding music is as joyful as you are.

Wedding dresses are not cheap. There are often prom dress or bridesmaids dresses available that can turn out to be a beautiful choice for a wedding dress. You might even consider whether a dress designed for bridesmaids could meet your needs. You can choose to alter the dress and add your own flair, while still saving plenty of money.

TIP! If you are hosting a destination wedding, your guests may appreciate receiving a basket of vacation goodies in their room on their arrival. Include useful items like sunglasses, a hat, tourist map, pamphlets and a disposable camera.

Offer sweet treats between courses to keep your guests amused. Try sugar roses which subtly match your decor, or thin crackers that whet the appetite.

TIP! Many people opt for silk flowers instead of live flowers for their wedding. You can buy your silk flowers well in advance of the wedding whereas fresh flowers have to be selected, arranged and delivered on the wedding day, which can be more stressful and problematic.

Shoes need to be broken in and comfortable. Paying attention to the clothes children wear will allow kids to enjoy their wedding experience without being uncomfortable.

Wedding Speech

TIP! You want to have all dresses planned out ahead of time and communicated to the respective participants. A lot of friendships can be damaged when people don’t agree on the gown for a bridesmaid.

Make sure to properly practice your wedding speech if you plan on giving one. A poorly planned wedding speech can make the audience uncomfortable or bored, and leave you feeling disgruntled and disappointed in yourself.

TIP! Get your wedding preparations set up early. When you begin your plans well before your wedding date, the selection of venues and related services will be much larger.

Inform your caterer if you’re going to be having your wedding reception outdoors. The foods you have may be too light or may not last long enough for outdoor usage. A pretty cover is recommended for foods at outdoor weddings, to keep them fresh and free of debris or bugs. Perhaps a small fridge could be used to keep drinks chilled.

TIP! You may want to cut down on a meal size for your reception. If you have a large guest list, then you might need to lower the budget in other areas.
