Have you decided when you want to get married yet? What about the flowers? Do you want carnations, roses or something else? There are so many decisions that need to be make when you’re planning a wedding. It does not matter if you are tying the knot, or helping plan it, you can use these suggestions to have a happy day.
When you’re getting plans together for your wedding, consider the types of alcoholic beverages you’re going to be serving. Also be aware of the cost. If there’s a bar that’s open, it can be expensive, especially the longer it’s open. See what other serving options are available for your alcohol.
Buying your wedding dress may be expensive. When shopping for your dress, consider dresses that may not be categorized as a wedding dress. A Bridesmaid dress can be a good fit, and it doesn’t cost half as much as a wedding dress does. Even if you want the dress altered to change some of the styling, it could turn out to be cheaper than a wedding dress.
One way to add glamour to your look on wedding day is to research the possibility of renting diamonds to add to your ensemble. This will allow you to work your aesthetic to your tastes without the hefty price tag.
Your vows are very important for a very momentous occasion so make sure you take time to write them to perfection. Marriage requires sacrifices from both sides, keep this in mind as you make the strongest commitment of your life. Don’t just make a list of promises, however. Your vows are also your opportunity to express your deep love for your partner.
Too many flower arrangements on the guest tables at your reception are usually an interference and an extra unnecessary expense. Flowers can be distracting for your guests and get in their way. Additionally, many people are allergic to flowers. Instead, you could place candles (non-scented) on the table tops to add a romantic feel to the reception.
Brides who want to sparkle might like to add some flashy stones to their bouquet, including rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, and even diamonds. You can accomplish this by including some heat-fixed or adhesive crystals, some costume jewelry or an heirloom that is treasured. To make sure it coordinates with everything else you are wearing, be consistent with the colors, size and cut of the stones.
When you are planning your reception set the time for the afternoon hours. People don’t tend to overdo it on the alcohol during this time of day, which saves you money on beer. By having a lunch reception, the costs for food will also normally be less expensive. This could allow you to put the money saved towards other services required for your wedding.
Provide your guests with an online itinerary of events so that everyone, including out-of-town attendees, know what they should be scheduling and planning to attend. Make sure that you tell people if they need to attend events, like the rehearsal, so that everyone shows up promptly at the correct location.
