Event Planning: Wedding Tips And Tricks

by | Jul 17, 2017 | Photography

TIP! If you decide to cater your own wedding party, go to the big wholesale stores, like Costco. If you shop at a wholesale store, you will get much more for your dollar than the regular supermarket.

Many of us have daydreamed about the day when we will walk down the aisle ever since childhood, right down to the gown we will wear, what our hair will look like, and the colors in our bouquet. Planning is something that you will have to consider as well, as this article can help you do that.

TIP! Ask anyone who is giving a toast to share his speech with you ahead of time to ensure that the comments are appropriate. Some material, especially jokes, may fall flat or offend some of your guests, so you want to correct these problems ahead of time.

If you’re wanting to have money for other things concerning your wedding, try keeping a tighter budget on the venue by picking a wedding date that’s not necessarily in season. Most people get married between May and December. Wedding venues are more expensive during this time. Should you have to book during the season, do so well in advance to garner your best deal.

Wedding Dress

TIP! Put some time and efforts into your vows to make sure your wife or husband will remember this day. It’s important to understand that a marriage is a strong commitment that takes both of you making sacrifices.

Purchasing a wedding dress can be expensive. Don’t limit yourself to considering dresses that are marketed specifically as wedding gowns. You could try a bridesmaid dress, and it would be cheaper than an actual wedding dress. Even with some alterations to complete your vision for the dress, it could be less expensive in the end.

TIP! Keep in mind all things when considering a venue for your receptions, like having adequate dance floor space. Forgetting this can end with a cramped reception, so don’t forget this important detail.

Purchasing wedding gowns through the Internet can help save you a lot of money, but see to it that you do it early in order to have enough time to alter it if needed. Keep in mind that sometimes the alterations will cost more than the gown itself. Be sure to work the additional cost for alterations into your overall budget.

TIP! Practice before a mirror for your walk down the aisle. If you are afraid of falling, consider wearing flats.

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. There will be many different generations at the wedding, so sometimes a joke between young people is not received well by elders.

TIP! When planning table seating arrangements, try to assign your guests so that there are an even number at each table. To keep table conversations flowing, group the people you have sitting at the tables by their age.

You’re going to look at the pictures from your wedding for many years to come, so make sure that you get good quality photos taken. Be certain to hire the best photographer you can to get a clear and touching record of your special day.

TIP! Multiple course receptions should have treats on the table for guests to consume between servings. Sugar roses that blend with your wedding colors would be a nice touch.

Use food that has an ethnic theme for the reception. This will add to the specialness and memories of your reception. Your wedding dinner can be very memorable when it includes interesting variety.

TIP! Ask a friend if you can wear something of theirs on your wedding day. When you do this you save money, you can make yourself look way better and even form a closer bond with people who become more involved with the wedding.

Do not avoid eating just so your wedding dress will fit. Starving yourself will just dehydrate you and make you feel sick. You may even faint while saying your vows. Buy a dress that has a corset back instead for more flexibility.

TIP! If the future newlyweds enjoy traveling, display decorations that portray a sense of wanderlust. Save-the-date notices and invitations are available in styles that resemble passports, boarding passes or vintage postcards.

Consider how many people will be dancing at your reception when you look at the dance floors of your possible reception venues. It can be a horrible experience to feel crammed while everyone around you is trying to dance; move chairs and tables out of the way to give everyone some extra breathing space.

TIP! Choosing centerpieces for your reception tables can be a difficult and costly decision. Choose a simple, small and elegant centerpiece with pizazz.

Instead of choosing an expensive, towering wedding cake, choose several tiers of mini tarts or decadent cupcakes. These kinds of arrangements are versatile, affordable and convenient. Guests can choose a couple cupcakes when they leave and put them in the embellished takeout containers.

TIP! If you are having a wedding outside, you need to have a plan in case it rains. Have some tents on hand, or choose a venue that provides both indoor and outdoor space.

You don’t want to have your guests waiting as you have your wedding photos taken. Take the bridal party photos ahead of time. Also, pictures of the couple with their parents can be taken in advance; this reduces the waiting time for guests coming to the reception.

TIP! Once you start the planning process for your wedding, it is important to have a list of items that you want, in order of importance to you. 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.

If you are having a destination wedding, surprise your guests with a basket chock full of goodies delivered to their hotel room. Fill the basket with useful, fun items like a map, camera, sunblock and brochures from local attractions. Also make sure you include a local restaurant guide that makes it simple for them to grab a bite to eat.

TIP! Gift registries are traditional parts of weddings. Your guests will appreciate knowing that a gift is not a requirement.

When you are planning a multi-course meal for your guests, offer some sort of appeasement on the tables to keep people occupied during the change in courses. Consider sugar roses which match the wedding colors.

Silk Flowers

TIP! If you are the groom, make sure your tuxedo fits perfectly. Seek out opinions of friends and family before choosing the right tuxedo.

Silk flowers make great alternatives to various other flowers for your wedding. You can buy your silk flowers well in advance of the wedding whereas fresh flowers have to be selected, arranged and delivered on the wedding day, which can be more stressful and problematic.

TIP! Don’t have too much money to spend on your wedding? No problem. You do not have to spend money you do not have just to have the perfect wedding.

You do not need to feel overwhelmed when planning your wedding. If you follow these simple tips you have read, you will be better organized and able to look forward to an experience with little stress. Who knows, maybe wedding planning will be as enjoyable as your actual wedding.
