How To Get The Wedding Of Your Dreams

When planning your wedding, think about what type of alcohol serving you want, and what type will be the most cost efficient. Having an open bar may cost a lot, especially if it is available throughout the entire day. Ask about which alcohol serving options are available through your venue.

You can ask a cherished friend or family member to loan you a special jewelry piece for your wedding, which can be your "something borrowed". This "something borrowed" will enhance the way you look and feel and add a special touch to the day.

If you want to get married outdoors, make sure you have a backup plan. It can be as simple as renting tents to accommodate the wedding party and guests, or choose a location where either an indoor or outdoor wedding is possible. You might also think about putting wood planks down to prevent guests from stepping in mud caused by rain.

Purchasing your wedding gown on the internet can be a budget saver, cutting down your costs by hundreds of dollars. Make sure to order early so you have time for alterations if any need to be made. You can purchase wedding gowns for as low as $100 online, but sometimes the alterations may cost you double that amount. Be sure to include the potential alterations cost into your budget.

Craigslist is a good place to look when you want to locate someone local to assist you with a wedding. Be sure to meet in person, and bring your groom along for safety, prior to handing over any money.

Provide your guests with an online itinerary of events so that everyone, including out-of-town attendees, know what they should be scheduling and planning to attend. Inform people of events, like rehearsals, that they are required to attend, so they will be where they are supposed to be at the scheduled time.

Individual centerpieces at each table can quickly add up to a big expense, unless you keep them simple. Avoid large and complicated centerpieces; choose simple, elegant ones instead. If the centerpiece is too big, it becomes a distraction, making it difficult for people to interact as well as enjoy their food.

If you cringe at the thought of purchasing an extremely expensive yet incredibly unhealthy wedding cake, there are other options available. You should consider getting in touch with local bakeries and specialty boutiques to inquire about individual portions that are healthier. A variety of healthy alternatives are available for a wedding cake that won't cause sugar shock.

Luxury-loving and fashionable brides could choose to make their bouquet sparkle; try adding rhinestones, Swarovski crystals or even some diamonds. You can create this look by using adhesive to affix crystals, a beloved heirloom or costume jewelry to the bouquet. To make sure it coordinates with everything else you are wearing, be consistent with the colors, size and cut of the stones.

Your family or future in-laws may be stodgy traditionalists, but if they make demands, tell them to pound sand. Be appreciative of their love and interest, but be firm, if you know their ideas go against what you and your fiance have planned together. That way, you won't have any regrets about how the wedding day goes.
