You should be lucky enough to find a life partner with whom you can spend the rest of your life. Taking such a large step as marriage is daunting, which means that the planning for the event should be spot on. Take advantage of the following tips to get you going in the right direction.
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. This allows you to have confidence in every step on the big day.
You will need to make a choice about how much alcohol you want to pay for, and which type of serving will be most cost efficient. Open bars can be expensive and can be more so if they’re open a long time. The folks running your venue may have affordable bar services, so be sure and ask them about it.
Do not starve just so your wedding dress fits. This will only make you lightheaded and dehydrating, and it could even make you ill. You wouldn’t want to pass out. Get a dress that has a corset-like back that is removable.
One way to add glamour to your look on wedding day is to research the possibility of renting diamonds to add to your ensemble. You will look stunning but won’t have to spend a lot, so your budget stays intact.
Flowers are great, but don’t place too many of them on your tables or they can become tacky. Much of the time, table arrangements will just be in the guests’ way. Not only that, but you may have some guests who are allergic to flowers. You might consider placing non-scented candles in the middle of the table for an understated, romantic look.
Always hunt for skilled, experienced photographers prior to making a final choice. A good photographer is crucial. Get recommendations from people you know if you aren’t sure who to use.
Family Member
It might be a friend or a family member. All that’s needed is someone who can happily carry your gear during the ceremony and photo sessions. A family member or a close friend will be able to gather families together for group photographs.
Avoid having guests wait while taking the photos. Try to take as many photos as you can before the ceremony begins. Pictures with the couples respective parents should also be taken in advance to cut down on wait time for the guests arriving at the reception.
See that the lighting at the reception venue has the ability to be dimmed. You may not think this detail is important; however, consider the effect of low lights on parts of your reception. For example, you may want to dim the lights for your first dance or other important dances and brighten them when you want everyone to participate in dancing. Verify this with the venue, before signing your contract.
This is the moment when two people commit to each other until death do they part. For that reason alone the planning should be as pristine as the bride and the execution flawless. Try using this advice to make your wedding what you always wanted.
