TIP! You can not serve everyone’s favorite top-shelf drink or you would quickly exceed the price of the dress, so consider what you like, and what will keep you within your budget. Having an open bar can be very expensive if it stays open for hours.

Proper planning makes things even better, and weddings are certainly no exception. Weddings are notorious for the planning that goes into them and the stress that they can create. Thinking about the process can be sufficient to overwhelm. Here are a few helpful tips that can help you go through the process of planning a wedding a little easier.

TIP! If you prefer to handle the refreshments and foods on your own, save money by shopping at wholesalers, such as Sam’s Club and Costco. If you’re shopping wholesale, you are able to get a lot of food for less money than shopping retail.

If you’re doing your own catering, Costco is a place that can save you a lot on wedding food. Wholesale prices are generally lower. See if your friends can split some of the cost.

Wedding Dresses

TIP! If you want to have an unusual and interesting wedding reception, select a catering group that offers ethnic flair. Let’s face it, the menu at these events is pretty standard so why not take it in a direction that makes it more memorable.

Wedding dresses can be quite an expense. Look at dresses that aren’t actually classified as wedding dresses. They are usually much less expensive but they can be just as beautiful. You might even consider whether a dress designed for bridesmaids could meet your needs. Besides, you can have a dress altered and still likely spend less than you would have on a wedding dress.

TIP! You can rent jewelery and diamonds if you wish to look at your best but cannot afford to. This gives you that look you want but won’t cost you a ton so that you can stay within your budget.

Be sure that any reception venue you select has enough space for you to dance. There is nothing worse than being crammed like sardines while the people around you are trying to do the Mashed Potato, so move some tables and chairs to make the extra room you need to get your groove on!

TIP! Don’t use a ton of flowers on the tables that guests will be sitting at during your wedding reception. The flowers will often just get in the way when your guests are trying to eat.

You can include some embellishments in your bouquet of flowers including rhinestones or Swarovski crystals! This is achieved by adding in a few adhesive or heat-fixed crystals, a small piece of costume jewelry, or even a treasured heirloom piece. Make sure that it will match everything else in your wedding outfit by remaining consistent with the colors you choose, the cut, and also the size of your stones.

TIP! Tell your DJ the songs that you do not want to be played. It could be a special song representing “old love”, a heavy metal song, or a country song.

Instead of spending a fortune on a wedding cake, get a bunch of mini-tarts or cupcakes. These treats are not only affordable and convenient, but you can do many things with them. Guests can choose a couple cupcakes when they leave and put them in the embellished takeout containers.

TIP! If you have a destination wedding and your family is there, see if they want to stay for the honeymoon. By booking longer stays, money can be saved.

If you and your spouse love a similar thing such as travel, incorporate it into your wedding theme and decorations. You could fashion your invitations to resemble boarding passes or vintage postcards. Distinctive props can be used to hold items for the wedding guests to see.

TIP! Don’t leave your guests waiting while you, your new spouse and the wedding party have an hour long photo shoot. Take your bridal party photos in advance of the wedding when you are all fresh and crisp.

One idea is to offer a fusion menu, comprised of contemporary versions of popular menu items. Add a little twist with ethnic drinks, desserts or wedding favors that are edible.

TIP! If you are having a destination wedding, why not treat your guests with an indulgent gift basket delivered right to their hotel rooms? Useful items you will want to include would be tourist maps, sunglasses, hats, disposable cameras and brochures of fun places they could visit while in the area. To make it easier for them to find good dining, a local restaurant guide is certainly helpful.

If you’re planning on delivering a speech at a wedding, it’s important that you take all the time you need to practice it. You need to carefully plan out what you want to say, and then rehearse it in front of someone who can give you honest feedback. Otherwise, you may end up with egg on your face.

TIP! Target the middle of the day for your reception. Most people will make plans after the reception, which minimizes the amount your guests may drink.

If you have planned a wedding outdoors, include a backup plan just in case there is rain or any other unexpected weather conditions on your wedding day. You can rent some large tents, or book a outdoor venue that includes a hall that is available in case of bad weather. If the ground is wet you can bring planks of wood to help keep your guests’ shoes clean.

TIP! Even if you’ve chosen and bought your wedding dress, think about keeping it at the shop until your special day. It could get stained or wrinkled in your closet.

If you’re having an outdoor reception, tell your caterer. Various foods will need to be judged for their ability to withstand outdoor conditions, such as wind, heat or cold. One way that these weather issues can be dealt with is to use sturdy covers for the food. Perhaps a small fridge could be used to keep drinks chilled.

TIP! Ask someone to borrow an item to wear on your big day. This can make your wedding one of a kind and achieves a fantastic look for you.

Think about the legalities of the location you choose when you are planning out your wedding. Even the slightest hitch can derail your big days, so it’s best to book your venue, caterer, and transportation arrangements well in advance.

TIP! Silk flowers can be a good option to use in lieu of cut flowers. Silk flowers can be chosen and bought months in advance which will save you time and energy.

Improve your wedding by enhancing the flowers. If vintage themes are your choice, then beautiful flowers in vibrant hues may provide the effect you desire. Some examples might be yellow daisies, bright red poppies, pink peonies, and so on.

Potted Plants

TIP! A fusion menu with a few traditional dishes is a good choice. Include ethnic options for dessert, drinks, or even wedding favors that are edible.

Costly wedding floral arrangements can be replaced with ornamental potted plants for an aesthetic and exotic effect. You can put them in decorative pots, or decorate their pots yourself with paint and ribbons. You can even used the potted plants as a favor for guests after the wedding or plant them in your yard as a memory of the wedding.

TIP! For receptions that don’t include dinner, consider renting less traditional seating arrangements rather than tables and chairs. Furnishing the location with chaise lounges or comfortable sectionals can lead to a greater level of interaction between your guests.

Use floral arrangements of varying heights. Use tall vases and have some short and some tall flowers. Shorter flowers of greater volume an be used to surround the tall vessels. The shorter, fuller flowers should be lighter in color than the taller, more prominent blooms.

TIP! Research your wedding planner in advance. Start your project by using imagery, fabric swatches and other pieces of inspiration to make mood board and “look books” like the stylists and fashion designers use.

So that you and your fiance are prepared for the first dance at your wedding, you should both spend some time practicing a dance with you wearing a long skirt. While you may be accustomed to the art of dancing in a dress, your groom may not be quite so confident in his abilities. This will help him adjust to dancing with you in your dress and prevent any awkwardness, especially if your gown is particularly full at the bottom.

TIP! When planning your destination wedding, be mindful of all your guests as well as their travel plans. You always want to make sure that you give your guests enough time to plan.

If the bride’s happiness is the ultimate priority for her big day, it is essential that the wedding meets her standards. If she feels it’s her responsibility to undertake the planning and worry about a below par celebration, it will ruin her entire day. If you run everything by your bride she will have a much happier wedding day.

TIP! Make your floral arrangements more complex by incorporating different heights. Different types of vases should be included in the design.

It could seem like planning your wedding is far from simple, but with some practical advice, it can be done. These are great tips in wedding planning. Apply all of the information that you have learned for your big day.
