Although planning your wedding is very important, don’t let it take over all of your free time. Take time out to have quality time together with a strict no wedding talk rule. Remember its not just a wedding day you’re planning, you are planning your futures lives together.
Wedding Insurance Tips
I always recommend insurance, there is so many factors involved in planning a wedding any number of things can go wrong. Your wedding will be one of the most expensive events you will ever plan. For just a fraction of the cost of the wedding it will give piece of mind, just in case
Wedding Photography Tips
Spend time selecting your photographer.
Out of all the suppliers you choose for your day your photographer will spend the most time with you and if you have a personality clash it could ruin your day.
Bridal Beauty Tips
Try not to change your image to much for your wedding day. Any major changes could make you feel uncomfortable. Make the most of your natural features. It is you he wants to marry
Wedding Cake Tips
Choose to serve your wedding cake in the evening on the buffet, this way everyone will get to see the fantastic creation you have chosen to celebrate your day. If you wish to serve some to guests during the day have an additional single cake made that can be kept in the kitchen and then cut to serve with coffee.
Bridesmaids Tips
The same style dress may not suit all of your brides maids. So why not select a colour and have your brides maid chose their own style to match your colours
Wedding Gifts Tips
If you have requested your guests to give you cheques or gift vouchers. Create a gift box in colours that match your reception theme. This way your guest can place their envelopes and cards in the box and they will all be kept together in one container instead of you having to carry them around all day
Wedding Flowers Tips
Tall Flower arrangments look spectacular but remember that if the base of the vase is to thin the display will be unstable and may topple over during the course of the day.
Wedding Favours Tips
Favours are traditionally give to your guests because on your wedding day you are perceived to be the luckiest couple, and your gift will pass on a little of your luck.
The 5 sugar almonds that are traditionally give are to represent the bitter sweet of life and with the five wishes, health, wealth, happiness, fertility and love.
Now you can choose from an endless selection from lottery tickets or candles to chocolates or soap. What ever your budget the more personal your gift the more your guests will love it.
Wedding Entertainers Tips
Not only for the evening reception, remember to entertain your guests through out the day. Arrange a magician for through the photographs, live music played during the meal time, how about a fun casino for after the meal and into the beginning of the evening reception.
Grooms
Don’t worry to much about your speech, the bulk of your’s will be thank you’s to people that have helped you both through the planning of the wedding.
Just remember to speak from the heart and don’t forget to say something about your lovely new bride.
Wedding Transport Tips
Give full details of the number of trips you require and the venues that you wish to be collected from and delivered to and the time you must arrive by. The more information you give to your supplier the easier it will be to arrange correct times so you don’t leave your groom waiting at the alter.
Wedding Decoration Tips
Chair covers with a colour sash can give a whole new look to the room. I do recommend that you have the sashes removed for the evening reception as they tend to become sashes to guests that always wanted to be beauty queens.
your reception colour theme tends to radiate from the accesents found in you wedding dress. So
don’t settle on a colour theme untill you have selected your dream wedding dress.
Try to personalize your theme with something that links the two of you, your guests will apreciate these little personal touches, and help break the ice.
Wedding Stationary Tips
Always confirm time schedules with your wedding co-ordinator before ordering your invitations.
Also include a time for the end of the evening, so your guests can arrange taxi’s for the correct time.
Evening receptions numbers are always hard to confirm, to as guest don’t always feel obliged to reply to your invitation. Always include a RSVP date and remember, just because they have not confirmed they are or are not attending, it does not mean they will not just turn up on the night.
Wedding Dress Tips
This will be one of the most important parts of your planning and it can be the most pleasurable. Arrange a day with your bridesmaid and mums to go around several bridal houses trying on gowns. Consider hiring a limo to take you around so you can all have a glass or two of the bubbly.
Don’t feel pressured in to purchasing on the day. If it’s the one you will know it and you can always go back the next day. One day will not make a difference in the order.
