Whether it’s your wedding, or the wedding of a close friend, it won’t take long to realize that the planning process is often both detailed and complicated. Fortunately the information and tips contained in this article are designed to help you make the wedding a happy and stress free event.
Practice your walk down the aisle many times on the days leading up to the wedding. This needs to be done where the wedding is going to be held so that you’re familiar with the specific area and flooring as well as how your shoes react. This will ensure you’re graceful and confident when the time comes.
Wedding Season
Set a date outside of the wedding season. The wedding season is traditionally from May through September. You can expect to pay more if you schedule your wedding during this time. Book in advance if you must schedule your wedding during this time.
When planning a wedding, alcohol needs to be a consideration as to what type you want to serve, as well as what the costs are going to be. If there’s a bar that’s open, it can be expensive, especially the longer it’s open. Speak with the people at the venue about any alcohol serving options.
When someone is going to talk during your wedding, be sure to have them rehearse what they’re going to say in front of you so that you know what they’re saying is appropriate. There will be people of all ages present, and what may seem funny to a younger person may not be humorous to an older crowd.
The pictures that are taken at your wedding are very important as you will look at these for the rest of your life. It pays to spend the extra cash to hire a wedding photographer in order to reduce the chance of some amateur screwing up your wedding photos.
You can rent jewelery and diamonds if you wish to look at your best but cannot afford to. This will give you the stunning look that you desire but will not cost you a lot of money, allowing you to stick to your budget.
Instead of spending a lot of money to get a huge cake for your wedding, think about tiers of sweet, delicious mini-tarts or cupcakes. Times have changed and despite the oddness you may feel based on tradition, guests tend to prefer this and it saves not only money but also prevents waste. Guests can simply pick up a cupcake or two as they leave, placing them in a takeout-inspired, embellished cardboard container.
Do not make guests stand around when you are taking photos. Take photos of the groomsmen and bridesmaids with the happy couple ahead of time. You can also take your pictures with your respective parents in advance of the wedding. This will leave you more time to spend with your guests.
If you are hosting a destination wedding, your guests may appreciate receiving a basket of vacation goodies in their room on their arrival. Some examples of items that you should put in the basket include: disposable cameras, sun hats, sun glasses and tourist maps and guides. It would be nice to also include a guide to local restaurants to make it easy for them to eat.
Now that you’ve come to the end of this article, you’ve learned some principles you can take to heart and use to produce the perfect wedding. The advice of this article should bring down the stress levels associated with wedding planning, and bring up the spirits and good time of all who participate, especially the happy couple.
