Be Sure Your Wedding Is Perfect With These Ideas

By Carla Rossouw


The wedding day is among one of the most important dates you will experience in life, but there is a huge expectation on everyone to produce the most intricate wedding possible and this leads to huge price-tags. A number of steps exist that you can take in order to manage your wedding within a reasonable budget. Use the advice you have just read, and you are sure to keep within your budget, while having a fairytale wedding.

Make sure your wedding reception lighting can be dimmed at the venue. This may seem like it's trivial, having the option to lower your lighting during the first dance will be nice, and then you can brighten it for the remainder of your event. Talk to the venue owner about the light settings. Don't rent a venue that doesn't have the settings you want.

Make your wedding personal by including elements that embody you, your soon-to-be spouse, and your relationship. Choose a theme that matches your time together!

For help with your wedding, you can find local vendors on Craigslist. Be sure to meet in person, and bring your groom along for safety, prior to handing over any money.

For receptions that don't include dinner, consider renting less traditional seating arrangements rather than tables and chairs. Lounges, sectionals and cushy chaises can encourage social interaction. Plush seating is also conductive to a relaxing time, and is comfortable for those with mobility issues. You can also use your furniture to customize your space.

Your wedding day will most likely be stressful and hectic. Plan for this by scheduling it later in the day. This way, you will have ample time to get dressed and made up, rather than having to arise at 4am just to get everything done. If your time allows, do something for yourself that is relaxing and calms your nerves.

Don't use a ton of flowers on the tables that guests will be sitting at during your wedding reception. Often, flowers interfere with guests being able to converse across the table. An additional possibility to consider is that a number of your reception guests may suffer from allergies. Try putting some scent free candles on your wedding tables.

When starting out with plans for your wedding, create a list of what you want in a prioritized order. For some couples, the venue is higher on the list than the cake, or the table decorations are higher on the list than the music, and so on. You can allocate funds from your budget more easily toward each need or want, when you see them listed in order of importance.

Remember to consider how you would like the alcohol at your reception served, and how much it will cost. If there's a bar that's open, it can be expensive, especially the longer it's open. If holding the wedding at an outside venue, they may have alcohol serving options available that can control costs.

A wedding cake can serve as a beautiful work of art, making a great focal point for a reception. Add a coordinating table cloth, and you are sure to have a great presentation. Good options include designer prints, novelty fabrics or special occasion fabrics like satin, velvet or silk.

One detail to consider is that the venue lighting can be dimmed, if necessary. This may seem like a minor factor, but many couples like dimming the lights for a first dance, and switching to brighter lights for the remainder of the event. Be sure to find out about these details before you decide for sure.

You're going to wind up wanting photographs with a lot of the guests that come to your wedding. If your wedding is large, you will want to have a set time for photographs or the task will be pretty much impossible. Decide on a specific time for pictures to be taken, and inform your guests in advance as to where you would like them to be for their pictures.

If you want to avoid allergies or the expense of floral arrangements, consider using potted plants to decorate your wedding space. You can decorate terracotta stoneware using lacy ribbons and paint or by purchasing already glazed ceramic pots in coordinated colors. You can even used the potted plants as a favor for guests after the wedding or plant them in your yard as a memory of the wedding.

If you have plenty of extra time but not a lot of extra money, then consider printing your own wedding invitations. There are invitation kits that allow you to create your own invitations and customize them with your choice of styles, colors, font and wording.

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. These specific tips will guide you and help relieve the stress and confusion. Therefore, your vision of the bride and groom's special day will become a reality full of beautiful memories for everyone in attendance.
