Many people have thought long and hard about their wedding day. Down to the tiny details such as the dress, the hair and even the colors of the flowers. Planning a wedding, while exciting, can be overwhelming without proper guidance.
To save money, choose a date that is not when most people typically get married. Most weddings take place between May and September. You can expect to pay more if you schedule your wedding during this time. If it is imperative that your wedding be at this time, be sure to make your reservations far ahead of the date.
You can not serve everyone’s favorite top-shelf drink or you would quickly exceed the price of the dress, so consider what you like, and what will keep you within your budget. Open bars can be expensive and can be more so if they’re open a long time. If holding the wedding at an outside venue, they may have alcohol serving options available that can control costs.
Personalize your wedding by including things that represent your spouse-to-be, and the bond between the both of you. Think about your time together and find a theme which matches it.
When choosing a makeup artist, ask to see a sample book of makeup the artist has done. Is the makeup style what you are looking for? Be sure that it is exactly what you want. Don’t be one of those people who is stuck with makeup they don’t like an hour before they walk down the aisle.
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 offer beautiful cupcakes with a variety of healthy fillings.
Brides who have sensitive skin should start a skin care regimen well in advance of the wedding. Look for facial treatments that soothe and brighten with ingredients like sea salts, oatmeal, rose, and creamy scrubs.
Don’t overcrowd your wedding reception tables with excessive flowers. A lot of times, the flowers may be getting in the guests’ way. Plus, some guests may be allergic to flowers. Instead, you could place candles (non-scented) on the table tops to add a romantic feel to the reception.
You don’t have to be overwhelmed when planning your wedding, if you take the advice above; you can plan without a lot of anxiety and stress. Who knows, maybe wedding planning will be as enjoyable as your actual wedding.
