1. Take A Look At These Wedding Tips!
Marriage is a special event in life that is sometimes marred by numerous stressful decisions. The
planning that is required, including buying the cake, setting up the flowers, and renting the
reception hall, can be extremely stressful. Our advice here can help you take on this task, and plan a
successful wedding without becoming stressed.
Wedding dresses are not cheap. When you are shopping, try getting a dress that might not be
traditionally thought of as one made for a wedding. A bridesmaid dress could be perfect and not as
costly as a wedding dress. Even after some alterations to spruce it up, it can still prove a more
affordable alternative to a dress that says wedding on the label.
When you decide who you want to give the speeches during the reception, ask them to read them to
you so you know they are appropriate. Wedding guests cover many generations of family and
friends, and the humor of newer generations might offend elders.
Wedding pictures are very important, you can look back at them whenever you want. Hire a
professional. Don't be shy on spending money in this area as they can document this magical day to
perfection.
Use someone's property for the wedding. If you're friends with someone who owns a large backyard,
you can have a cheaper wedding there. Pay someone to clean for them before and after your
wedding.
Invest time in writing vows that will be truly meaningful to your intended spouse. Keep in mind that
getting married is a commitment that might require some sacrifices. Let your partner know how
much you adore them and that you really do want to spend forever with them.
If the idea of a thousand-dollar, thousand-calorie wedding cake leaves you with cold feet, contact
local boutiques and specialty bakeries and ask about smaller, individual-sized portions. Some
bakeries can ship lower calorie cupcakes and also offer gluten-free options like no-calorie
sweeteners, fruit-filling, and meringue toppings.
Of course you probably know to tell your DJ or band what songs you expect, but also consider telling
them songs you absolutely do not want at your wedding. Perhaps it's heavy metal, country music or
special music from an ex. Make sure to tell your husband-to-be what type of music won't be played.
When planning out your table situation at your wedding, make sure that each table has an even
number of people sitting at it. Grouping your tables according to age is one way to seat people with
others that they will have things in common with.
If you have a large wedding cake decorated in brightly colored icing that has its own stand, consider
placing the stand on some color-coordinated fabric to create a stunning focal piece. There are many
different styles and options, such as various types of fabrics and textures. It is up to you how to put
it all together.
Craigslist is a good outlet for locating local talent for your wedding. Be sure to meet in person, and

2. bring your groom along for safety, prior to handing over any money.
Have a set plan for everything at the wedding. You want to make it exciting and engaging to those
who are part of the special day.
Consider renting couches and chairs instead of tables if you aren't planning on serving a meal at
your wedding reception. Your guests will be more likely to interact if they are in a comfortable
setting with lounges and chaises. Comfortable seating will make your guests feel relaxed and at
home, permitting them to enjoy lounging areas around your location.
Inform your caterer if you're going to be having your wedding reception outdoors. The food you
serve will need to be kept at certain temperatures to be safe, or will need to be shielded from wind
and flying debris. It might be possible to cover the dishes. Keep a small refrigerator around to cool
drinks down.
Make sure to prioritize your wants when you are starting to organize your wedding plans. Some may
think flowers carry more importance over the cake, where others may feel the venue carries more
importance over the guest list. If you create a budget which lists the items in order of importance,
you'll have a much easier time picking out what you can afford and what you're happy to live
without.
In order to prepare in dancing when it comes to your first dance, practice dancing a couple days
before the wedding using a long skirt. You may already be comfortable moving about in long skirts,
but your fiance may not be. This will make the experience a lot smoother for the both of you,
particularly if you're wearing a gown with a puffy hem.
When you pick someone to take a video for a wedding, be sure you speak with a few different people
and ask for examples of the work they've done. Look at the sound and quality of the video as well as
the editing. VHS wedding videos were popular years ago, but make sure you get either a DVD or
digital video which can be played for many years. Make your decisions based on the factors
mentioned as well as your personal first impressions of different videographers.
