The wedding of your dreams need only have yourself and your partner, an officiant and love. If you focus on the other aspects that other people have insisted are important to having a successful wedding, you are just putting yourself through unnecessary stress. The following article will guide you to planning and preparing a very happy and memorable wedding day.
One thing you need to think about during the wedding planning process is what alcohol will be served, and how much you want to spend on it. For example, an open bar can cost you an arm and a leg, especially if it’s open throughout your reception. Ask the venue you’ve chosen for the reception which options they have available to you, and what the cost would be for each.
Are you bringing in food yourself to your reception? Visit a wholesale store to stock up. If you’re shopping wholesale, you are able to get a lot of food for less money than shopping retail. Try asking friends to split food costs.
Buying a wedding gown can be very expensive. If you are not looking for a traditional, princess type ballgown, consider looking into other types of dresses. For example, a bridesmaid dress is typically much less expensive and may be just what you’re looking for. With the lower base price, you can likely also afford alterations to the style of the dress and still come in under the price of a traditional wedding gown.
The wedding pictures are amongst the most important wedding mementos. Have someone highly experienced help you with the pictures if you have the money to afford it. It will be important later in life.
The most critical factor to keep in mind when you are getting married is of course the person you are marrying! You should never rush into a marriage just because others are pushing your or because you are caught up in wedding planning. Weigh everything you know about your loved one, and think about everything involved with living with this person forever.
Look at samples of past work before hiring a makeup artist. Is the style pleasing to you? It is critically important that you know they can meet your needs. You do not want to be an hour before your wedding with a make up artist who does your make up in a way that you dislike.
Again, there truly are just a few critical things necessary for a wedding. A lot of the things are just options and upgrades. These are nice additions, but can cause extra stress. Use the ideas here and have a happy wedding.
