When you are planning your wedding it can sometimes feel like your wishes can become second to everyone else’s. You might have your heart set on daisies while your mother is pushing for roses. Maybe you love brown and pink for your bridesmaids dresses, but your maid of honor is pushing for red. This article should help give you some tips for making sure your wedding is YOUR day.
One of the most vital aspects of your wedding is going to be the music that you play. Make sure that the music is modern, but is very personal too, as it should represent the two parties tying the knot. This will add to the ambience of the overall experience of your wedding.
One of the things that you should consider for your guests is to serve white wine instead of red wine as the drinks at your wedding. Most people will be wearing dresses that have light colors, so you will want to limit the visibility of stains if they were to have an accident.
If you’re going to be photographing a wedding, make sure to visit the location where the wedding will be held so you know what angles will be available to you and what barriers might get in your way. If you know where everything is you’ll have a much easier time on the wedding day.
If you’re on a tight budget for your wedding, ask your family if they can help supply the flatware and plates for the tables at your reception. You can match only the items on a single table as most people won’t be looking at what is on the other tables around them. Most people won’t even notice! The best part is that you can send the dirty dishes home with them for cleaning, saving you additional cost for the extra time at your venue.
When you are planning your wedding don’t forget that people are going to need to get from your venue back to their hotel. You should have taxis and limos to take people home when it’s over. Also, this will get people who drank alcohol during your wedding home safe and sound.
When picking out your bridesmaids dresses for your wedding, let your bridesmaids have some say in the decision. You want to make sure that they are comfortable in what they wear on your big day! Plus, having them help to make the decision can take some of the pressure off of you.
To avoid the pitfalls of currency exchange for your guests, find out where they have to go to get local funds before they arrive. Take everyone as a group to the location where you can exchange your money and call ahead to ask if they can accommodate everyone at the same time, maybe in a room outside the main area, so they don’t have to wait in line.
As stated at the beginning of the article, while planning for your wedding, sometimes your wishes are met with resistance from loved ones. Although they mean well, it is important to remember that this is YOUR wedding day. Hopefully this article has given you some great tips for tactfully dealing with everyone’s input, while keeping your own wishes first.
