What is the ideal wedding? It is what the wedding couple wants and should not be hijacked by what a bridal magazine or well meaning relatives insist that you must have. This is YOUR wedding so take charge and don't let it get out of hand. This article can help you to keep things in perspective.
A good piece of advice to keep in mind for weddings is to make sure that the bride's maids and the mother of the bride are ready to go before assisting the bride. This is because you want to ensure that full focus can be put on making the bride look great.
If you have a very tight budget for your wedding, one of the easiest ways to cut your costs is to stay away from banquet halls and consider locations that are more unusual and unused. Some examples could be a nearby park, flower gardens, the zoo, the beach, and lake club type venues which will have much lower costs and be more unique.
If you are planning an outdoor wedding, make sure that you have some kind of a backup just in case the weather chooses not to agree. You can still have a perfect day if you realize that weather is unpredictable and it might not cooperate. By being flexible it will help you be less stressed about it.
Make a list of all your priorities for the wedding. Write down everything you would like to have at your wedding and then put each item into one of three categories: essential, important and not necessary. This will help you focus on getting the most essential things accomplished for your special day.
Select flowers that are local and in season when planning your wedding floral arrangements.
Avoid financial miscommunication by openly discussing your wedding budget with your parents as soon as possible. Talk with each set of parents separately and discuss what they feel comfortable contributing. Often times they will elect to pay for a specific aspect of the wedding rather than a set dollar amount.
Do not budget every available bit of your money. There are going to be surprise expenses associated with your wedding; for example, there may be a mistake printed on the invitations and you need to purchase more or your dress may need to be altered more than you expected. Leave approximately 10 percent of your budget open for these things.
Remember that even though weddings are exciting, they can create stress. So try the stress relievers like body spa or massage.
If you are working under a budget for your wedding, make the most of your money by taking the time to think of the things that are most important and will require the most money. Then, make a list of the things that you can complete yourself such as invitations, centerpieces, and decorations.
Check with the post office for their size and weight limitations for letter mail before placing your wedding invitation order. If you can scale back the size and weight of your invitations so that they are considered a standard size, you can save hundreds of dollars in excess postage needed to send something big and bulky.
As already expressed, the perfect wedding doesn't exist. That concept was created to sell dresses and dreams but doesn't stand up in the face of reality. Couples expecting a perfect day are more likely to be disappointed. Only by putting a proper perspective in order and having realistic dreams can you truly expect a perfect day.
