Perhaps the most romantic moment in the lives of young couples is the one that culminates in engagement. However, making plans for the wedding itself can be anything but romantic and is more likely to be hectic and nerve-wracking. This article is packed with ideas and inspiration for anyone who wants to plan a wedding that will capture the true romance and love of a relationship.
If you are planning an outdoor wedding you will need to consider the possibility of bad weather. If you do not have a backup plan, this could ruin your wedding and inconvenience all of your guests who are attending. Always prepare for the worst on important occasions.
After everyone has finished their meals, you can serve a dessert tray at the wedding. This is usually the tradition as you can present a wonderful array of pastries, chocolates and candy for kids to end the night with a bang. This is a great way to send people off.
When planning your wedding, keep in mind the weather. You want your guests to be comfortable in your wedding, and it would be bad to having them overly hot or cold. If your wedding is when it is hot outside, consider giving out hand fans and cold bottles of water. If you are planning your wedding in colder weather, let your guests know that they should dress appropriately.
If the couple wants to get a shot of everyone at their wedding, try to get a shot from up high at the beginning of the ceremony when it’s likely no one will have left yet. If you’re fortunate enough to have a church with a balcony, start from there. Visit the church before the ceremony to choose the best spot to get your shot.
If you’re planning on having a cash bar at your wedding, consider giving your guests tickets for free drinks. You can place them with the guests’ name cards and then let them know what they’re for when they arrive to the reception. Also, hire a company to run the bar that will keep the drink price low.
Having a family member photograph your wedding can save you a lot of money, but you have to remember that you’ll get what you pay for. They probably won’t have expensive lighting rigs or the latest camera equipment, so your shots will end up looking less than professional. That said, they can still be beautiful, so don’t worry! Just don’t have high expectations that could make your family member feel guilty.
Bridal fashion changes drastically from year to year. Unless you are set on spending the money and storage space necessary to preserve and keep your wedding dress, consider renting a gown instead. Most formal wear rental companies are very reasonable in price and policies, and you can wear the expensive designer dress of your dreams for pennies compared to buying it for a one-time wearing.
Use the above advice to make planning your wedding another memorable bonding experience. Planning your wedding together will help you to develop team skills that will also come in handy once you are married. Hopefully these tips can help plan your wedding and prepare you for a lifetime of working together happily.
