Whether you are part of the guest list or the wedding party, there are things you should know about attending a wedding before the day arrives. You can use these wedding tips to understand better your role in the wedding and how to make the special day even more special than it already is.
If you can’t have a limo for your wedding, dress up the cars you’re going in. Put on crepe paper flowers, streamers and whatever else the owner will let you dress it up with. It will make you feel like you have your own customized coach, so you don’t really need a limo anyway.
Designer candles, jewel-encrusted candelabras, and crystal decor can add up quickly when multiple tables are used for the wedding reception or rehearsal dinner. To save money, purchase large, unscented pillar candles of varying sizes. You can then use adornments and embellishments from bulk craft supply stores, such as stick-on colored crystals or textured, sheer ribbons to tie around each of the pillars.
Follow this advice from star stylists before red carpet appearances: A week before your wedding, put on your head-to-toe big day look (hair, makeup, shoes, dress) and have a member of your wedding party photograph you. Pictures don’t lie, and you may find an opportunity to tweak or update your look that you might otherwise not have thought of.
If you are getting married for the second time, make this wedding different than your first. Have it at a different venue and decorate it differently. You do not want your second spouse to think that you are comparing this wedding to your first one. Also, make sure the wedding dates are not too close to the first marriage date either.
For men who are about to get married, it is just as important that you wear a nice tuxedo as it is that the bride wear a beautiful dress. Men just assume that all the attention is on their bride, but the groom has all eyes on him as well.
A memorable and distinctive trend in wedding decor is opting for vintage and aged wire birdcages in lieu of traditional vases and containers for centerpieces. Green mini-planters can be easily contained within a small birdcage, then topped with either fresh or silken flowers, leaves, and realistic-looking mushroom finches, which are available at craft stores.
Make sure to let any parents attending your wedding know the itinerary for your day so they can work situations like naps, changing diapers, feedings, or bedtimes into the schedule. They can also plan to have a babysitter, if necessary, and know when they’ll have to leave to go home to relieve her.
Make the most of your winter wedding by incorporating distinctive natural elements into your decor. For example, look for a venue that will allow guests to enjoy a roaring fire, and the scent of fresh evergreen boughs. Further adding to the cozy touch of winter, feature gourmet hot cocoa, spiced apple cider, or rich wooden accent pieces.
If you plan to serve your guests a meal with multiple courses, keep them entertained during the serving process by placing small dishes of appetizing sweets on each table. Consider sugar roses which match the wedding colors.
Save money and pick up a new skill by attending a floral design course at your local community center or home and garden show. Check beforehand with the entity offering the course; some offer additional discounts and special pricing for class participants as an added perk included in the cost of workshop fees and materials costs.
