When you get engaged and decide to get married it is one of the best times in your relationship. That said, the wedding planning that follows the engagement is often extremely stressful, not to mention expensive. If you want to make your wedding planning as much fun as the actual wedding will be, follow these ideas.
Before your wedding day be sure to practice walking down the aisle multiple times. Get acquainted with the floor you will be walking on and do this with the same shoes you plan on wearing. This is going to make you feel confident on your big day.
Set a date outside of the wedding season. The traditional season for weddings is May through September. Wedding venues are more expensive during these months. If you can’t plan your wedding at any other time, book your venue as soon as possible to get a great deal.
Spice up your wedding reception by choosing an ethnic inspired menu. Steak and chicken are both overrated, not to mention boring. Variety makes things interesting, so why not incorporate it into your big day?
You don’t have to overwhelm yourself with an expensive and high calorie cake; contact your local specialty bakeries and boutiques and inquire about getting smaller, individual portions made instead. Some bakeries can ship lower calorie cupcakes and also offer gluten-free options like no-calorie sweeteners, fruit-filling, and meringue toppings.
Avoid cluttering tables with too many flowers at your reception. Flowers can be distracting for your guests and get in their way. Also, you must consider that a guest may be allergic to the 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. You want your photographer to know exactly what they are doing. To identify good local photographers, solicit advice and referrals from family and close friends.
Consider how many people will be dancing at your reception when you look at the dance floors of your possible reception venues. You want to have ample room for everyone to get down, so if the dance floor of your favorite venue is lacking at least make sure that you can add some size by moving nearby tables and chairs.
If you want to save money on a cake, consider cupcakes or mini-tarts. They taste great, are easy to eat and are affordable. Those who were invited will grab them at will and consume them rather quickly as opposed to wrapping the pieces they grab in a napkin and forgetting it.
Your assistant will be helping carry equipment around for you so there is no need for them to have any specific photography training. They can also help round up family members for group portraits.
It may sound odd but it might be fun if you ask your family if they would like to join you on the honeymoon as well. Everyone can save money by staying longer, as hotels will give you great discounts for longer stays. Not only will they have a great day to remember, but also a great vacation too.
Any couple who uses these tips most likely will have a bonding experience as they plan their wedding together. Learning to plan a wedding together is a great way to build the foundation for marriage and a life together. These tips will help any couple invest, not just in having a romantic wedding, but also in having a successful long-term romantic relationship.
