Include your fiance in planning your wedding or he’ll end up feeling like it wasn’t really his day at all. If he says he doesn’t care what you do he might just be saying that to keep you happy, so try to include him in the catering or cake choice so he has a yummy way to get involved.
If you are planning on having designer dresses or gowns for your bridesmaids, consider purchasing them as their bridal party gift. Many bridesmaids find it expensive and taxing on their income to pay for such extravagant attire that they will only wear once. If you choose to have such a pricey item, make sure you don’t put pressure on them to pay for it.
When photographing a wedding, you must be prepared! Don’t forget to bring extra batteries, memory cards and cleaning materials, for your camera. Think up alternate photography locations, in case the weather goes bad. Attend the rehearsal, so that you will have a good feeling for what will be happening and where you should be at all times.
When the ceremony is over and you’re happily married, don’t celebrate like you’re in the end zone of a football game. You and your spouse should plan what reaction you’ll have, and it’s best if you both smile graciously and walk down the aisle together holding hands. No jumping up and down or dancing!
For your wedding rehearsal and dinner, do not wait until the last minute to put together a “look” for your hair, makeup, attire, and accessories. This is an important and memorable part of the wedding experience, and you can create a more involved participation by using the time as a way to offer friends and loved ones, a sneak peak into the design aesthetic of your big day.
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.
Choose a wedding planner carefully if you decide to use one for your wedding. If you aren’t careful, you can choose a wedding planner who can totally take over or ignore the concept of your wedding. You want to choose the elements, theme, and overall design of the wedding, and a professional should be able to respect that.
Make a list of the things you want for your wedding, and list each thing by level of importance. Some people place a greater importance on the flowers over the cake, or consider the guest list less important than the venue. Use your priority list to determine which aspects of your wedding to pay for first. This helps you stay within your budget and purchase goods and services that make your wedding into everything you want it to be.
The meaning of your wedding is more important than the party you throw to celebrate it. Wedding planning sometimes causes an undue amount of stress. This article’s advice can help you succeed in your planning and really have that perfect wedding.
