Tips To Help You Plan The Perfect Wedding

By Delorez A. Wheeler


Many cultures and religions have their own wedding traditions. Some couples let doves go after they say their vows, while others jump over a broom. The traditions seem countless. You may want to incorporate one of these traditions into your own wedding ceremony, or maybe come up with one of your own. This article will give you some ideas for different wedding traditions.

For a more reasonably priced wedding, consider a date that's not in the traditional wedding season. Traditional wedding season is from May to September. During this time wedding venues will be more expensive. If you need to book during this time, make sure you book far in advance to get the best deal.

When planning for your wedding, the time of day could greatly affect your cost. If you are having an evening wedding, you will have to serve dinner which costs more than serving your guests lunch. If you serve alcohol, more people will drink heavily in the evening than they would at lunch time.

Never forget that your wedding is YOUR day, so YOU need to choose the items you want for it. shoes, cake, food, Decorations and dress it's all up to you. Don't let your friends or family get bossy and try to turn it into their dream wedding or you'll regret that mistake for the rest of your life.

Make sure that everyone in your wedding party knows how they're getting to the wedding site and back home from your wedding! This is especially important if you're going to be serving alcohol, and essential if it's an open bar. Offer free cab rides to anyone who doesn't bring a car, or drive them home in your limo, if you're worried about anyone getting too inebriated.

If you're already living with your spouse-to-be and don't really need housewares for wedding gifts, ask for cash instead. You'll be saving them the time it takes to shop and helping pay for your honeymoon if you include a cute little poem asking people to consider giving you a cash gift instead of something you can't use!

To save money on your wedding, you may want to consider making a CD of your favorite songs instead of having a DJ. The price of a DJ can really hurt your pockets and picking out the songs that your and you spouse like can make your day more personal.

The most important tool you can have in your wedding arsenal, is preparation. Make sure that your purse includes everything that you might need to fix a problems. If anything is stuck in your teeth, some lipstick, so that you can spruce yourself up, and maybe a couple bobby pins to calm down any unruly hair, you need to try to think of anything that can go wrong or that you may anticipate needing, such as a mirror, so that you can see. Whatever you think you may need, try to keep it in your purse.

To ensure you have photos of everyone in attendance at your wedding, have a photo booth set up right next to your guest book. Photo booth rentals are readily available and can be set up in a variety of ways, usually with the help of the booth operator, who will assist your guests and guide them into making some memorable pictures for your photo guest book. When the photo has been developed, the attendant can put the picture into an album and have the guest sign it with their congratulatory wishes. You can also choose to have two sets of photos printed so you can give your guests one as a little remembrance of your special event.

Speak to your family and friends in regards to services for your wedding. You never know when you might have an overlooked relative who handles music or cooking. You may also find that your friends have connections to service professionals who can offer you a discounted price due to the referral.

When you and your betrothed start adding items to your wedding registry, don't be afraid to add things that are over-the-top, expensive, or just a bit elaborate. Focus on choosing items that you can both envision as part of your new shared life together based upon your shared preferences, not the price tags.

When you have decided on a florist, instead of giving them a specific type of flower to stick to, decide on a color scheme to fit the theme of your wedding. This will provide your florist with more flexibility, which will help to exude a more elegant feel to your wedding.

For men who are about to get married, it is just as important that you wear a nice tuxedo as it is that the bride wear a beautiful dress. The groom has all eyes on him as well, even though men just assume that all the attention is on their bride.

Now that you know the many things to do and the many things not to do when planning the perfect wedding, you can go ahead and plan it without losing your mind. Enjoy every minute leading up to the big event, and then enjoy the rest of your new, married life.
