Wedding is one of the oldest traditions humanity upholds since time immemorial. It consists of a ceremony in which two people are united in marriage.
This is a most momentous occasion – as you’re marrying the love of your life. You have all the people closest to your heart in attendance, enjoying the celebration of your union, thus it is only fitting that you would want everything to be perfect and unforgettable.
Decide on your wedding theme – there are so many choices for a wedding theme , sometimes the task can be over whelming. Try to decide on the theme of your event at the earliest possible time because many aspects of the preparation depend on it.
Formal Wedding is the most common type of wedding. It is generally the most conventional of all the wedding types. It requires that the couple and their attendants dress as if they were attending a black-tie affair (picnic tables and plastic cups are a NO! NO!)
Casual Wedding is typically much more loose, relaxed and flexible. The focal point is on the celebration of the union between two people in love, together with their families and friends.
Holiday Wedding is a good time to combine the merriment of the season with the wedding celebration. It usually takes place during major holidays like Christmas, Valentine’s Day or Thanksgiving.
Choose your Wedding Colors – the importance of selecting right colors for your wedding day should not be taken lightly. Colors are representative of both seasons and emotions. The combination of your selected colors will generate certain mood or feel to your wedding day.
Better Opt for Flowers in Season – wedding flower choices consist of decisions regarding the flowers for the ceremony, the bouquet, for used as table centerpieces and wedding reception decorations. Aside from the fact that choosing flowers in season gives you a theme for your special day, it also gives assurance that your chosen blooms will be at their freshest come wedding day.
While traditions might dictate the etiquette of how things are done. One is left to wonder if tradition is always best; after
all someone had to come up with it so why not set your own trend. Some say asking for monetary donations instead of setting up the usual gift registry is tacky, but others view it as a creative approach to our current economic state.
The argument is one that makes for a spirited debate if nothing more.
A few questions pop to mind.
* Are there any written rules that determines the type of gift a couple is allow to ask for?
* What exactly does gift giving really mean?
* What is the difference between a wedding registry / gift certificate and a donation to help a couple with their planning expenses?
Hmmmmm, I bet the question is not as simple as it appeared.
Tell us a color combination you have seen or used for your own wedding.
One of my favorite was a Bari Jay taffeta dress in Golden Brown & Gold. It turned out to be the perfect color combination for a fall wedding.
Maid/Matron of Honor – need help figuring out stuff you can do to make the brides life a little easier on her big day?
THE DAY – Survival Kit: a collection of much needed items most people over look (bobby pins, deodorant, double-sided tape, mending kit, stain remover, toothpaste, toothbrush, tampons, safety pins, pantyhose, hair spray….). You can find a lot of these travel size items at Walmart.
The bride can plan everything for her big day except the little incidents; like a button popping loose or someone’s dress getting make-up stain. Your job is to make sure these little things DO NOT stress her out. One of the most important reasons she chose you as her maid and/or matron of honor is because she knows she can depend on you.
You are planning your wedding day, you want it perfect, just the way you imagine. One of the hardest thing for a bride to do is delegate. With so many little task that has to be completed before your big day, having some help can make all the difference in the world.
Pick your bridal party wisely, they are your support system. Your maid/matron of honor should be someone you know you can depend on. Give her the task of making sure all the bridesmaids place their dress orders on time. If making and/or assembling your own favors, invitations or programs, your bridal party can come in handy. Plan a girls night out, with popcorn, movies, music, snacks and favor bags… Assemble! Assemble! Assemble!
These are some of the little things that can be accomplish without totally giving up control.
Finding the perfect dress for your bridesmaids can be a trying ordeal. It is hard enough deciding on your perfect dress, can you imagine finding a dress that will compliment each of your bridesmaids.
Bridesmaid dresses take 8 to 14 weeks for delivery, start browsing early, visit your local bridal shop with a couple of your bridesmaids and have them try on a variety of silhouettes. Having a color motif in mind will help narrow the choices of designers and fabric that will work for you.
Measurement! Measurement! Measurement!
Bridesmaid and bridal dress sizes are not like street clothing. We recommend you have the professional seamstress who will alter your gown take your measurements for you. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR OWN MEASUREMENTS – THEY WILL BE WRONG! Always refer to the designer size chart when ordering as designers size charts varies.
It is not unusual to be between sizes, we recommend going with your largest measurement size. It’s easier to cut a dress down than to try to lose that last inch or two.
Remember to have fun planning ladies.
