A wedding is easily one of the most memorable occasions in the human experience. The loving relationship at the core of a wedding has a great deal to do with its memorability, of course, but careful planning and hard work make a huge difference, too. Here are a few tips that can help make a wedding even more memorable:
If you are a bride, you should treat the groomsmen to a professional shave and haircut, the day before the wedding. This will ensure that they look as sharp as possible, so that everything is aesthetically beautiful at your wedding. Proper grooming is essential to maximize the look of the important components to your wedding.
Even if a wedding photograph looks like it isn’t what you intended, keep it, at least in digital form. Sometimes the bride and groom will see a shot that they love even if the photographic composition is lacking. The couple are the final say, so leave it up to them to pick and choose their favorites.
If you are attending a wedding, make sure to bring a gift or a card and arrive on time. Once the processional has started, you won’t be able to be seated until after it has finished, and unless you are a close personal friend, it may be awkward to have you standing in the foyer watching the bridal party as they prepare to walk down the aisle.
Fun wedding favors are a great way to keep kids entertained at your reception. You can go to the dollar store and pick up a basket full of goodies to set at the tables which can keep the kids busy while their parents have a great time at the party.
When selecting a limousine company to use for your wedding, look for a company that charges by the day, rather than the hour. Hourly rates tend to be much more expensive than companies that charge for the whole day. Also, do not reserve more limousines than what you will need.
Rent a venue, with lights that are capable of being dimmed, for your wedding reception. 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. Ask the folks running your venue if you have that option.
If you find yourself getting stressed in the process of planning your impending nuptials, consider taking some time away from the process for a bit of rest and relaxation. A day at the beach for the bride and groom or a day spent doing something you enjoy can help replenish you.
Every wedding is special and unique – even more so than the two people whose union calls for the occasion. Many people contribute to a truly memorable wedding in ways great and small. This article offers just a few humble suggestions to assist the whole loving community of helpers that do their part to put together a great wedding.
