Weddings are amazing ceremonies that you can truly make your own. Whether you are a bride or groom, you can have fun planning the venue, guest list, menu, centerpieces, and music that you want to play. Read this article to get some tips on having your special, memorable dream wedding!
If you are purchasing your wedding dress, you could save money by purchasing a “like new” wedding dress. There are many stores that will offer wedding dresses that have only been worn once. These dresses will be cheaper than purchasing a brand new dress and could look as great as a brand new dress.
If you or your future husband have a great voice, one of the things that you can do is to sing a song at your wedding. This should be a slow song that you dedicate either to your future soul mate or someone that is looking down upon you at your wedding.
Buying wedding gowns online can save you hundreds of dollars, but be sure to do it very early to allow you time to get your gown altered when you receive it. In fact I spent 0 in total, 0 for the gown itself, and only another 0 for the tailoring. Figure in this additional cost while making your budget.
If you have to buy linens for your reception, make sure that they fit your table at home. Another option is to ask family and friends to bring theirs from home so you can just return them, after being professionally cleaned, when you’re done. If you have to mix and match you can adjust your color scheme to make it look intentional!
Even if your budget is small, having two photographers at your wedding can catch shots that might be missed otherwise. Consider asking family members to take on the roll as an additional photographer, or even have both photographers be someone you know personally. Free is the best way to go, and they might even give you the end product as a wedding gift.
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.
When trying to pare down the guest list, consider who is paying for the wedding, and then allocate them more seats. If the bride’s father is footing the bill, then her side of the family should be permitted to attend. If the couple is paying for the wedding themselves, then they should split the number of attendees in half for each side.
Try to negotiate as much as possible with the vendors that you are using for your wedding. If you do not act persistent, they will not reduce their cost themselves. Try to give your vendors a rich incentive to beat out the competition and earn your business for your wedding.
Avoid dressing children in clothes that are too stuffy and uncomfortable. Choose fabrics that are soft against the skin and that fit without bunching or pinching. Shoes should be broken in and comfortable. Attention to this detail will give the children a chance to focus on their role in the wedding as opposed to fidgeting with their outfit.
You can really express yourself and your love for your new spouse at your wedding. Whether you want to go classic, funky, or a mix, you can show your flair and have a wedding that everyone will remember. Just remember the tips in this article to make sure that the wedding goes smoothly!
