If you have a dream wedding in mind, you’re going to have to do a lot of planning to make it reality. Actually, any kind of wedding will take a lot of hard work to create. You don’t have to wander around in the dark, wondering what to do. Here are some great tips on what to do to have a wedding that’s like a dream come true.
If you can’t have a limo for your wedding, dress up the cars you’re going in. Put on crepe paper flowers, streamers and whatever else the owner will let you dress it up with. It will make you feel like you have your own customized coach, so you don’t really need a limo anyway.
When having an outdoor wedding, the food served can be greatly affected by the weather. If you are planning a wedding during hot weather, ask your caterer if they have experience in serving food when it is hot outside. If the food cannot be kept at the correct temperature, avoid foods that have mayonnaise and any other dishes that will need to be kept cold.
An outdoor wedding has its own natural beauty but you should still check on the place where your wedding will be held right before your wedding. Check to make sure that the grass has been mowed, leaves have been raked, and it is clear of debris. If you notice something that you do not like, make sure it is taken care of before your wedding day.
Flowers are a really important part of your wedding and you will want to get fresh flowers delivered to the site of your reception. Also, make sure that the flowers match the theme of your wedding, as well as, the season that you are having your wedding in. This will maximize the overall effect of your nuptial.
Don’t go overboard on decorating tables with flowers. Flowers can be obstructive to guests a lot of the time. Also, some of your guests may have allergies to the flowers. To give the tables a romantic look, consider using non-scented candles as a centerpiece.
To ensure that you make it down the aisle with ease, be sure to try on your wedding shoes and wear them for one to two hours – at least twice – before the big day. This is especially important if you are unaccustomed to wearing heels, or if your feet are prone to swelling. It will also help you to decide if you need to add strap or heel cushions to your shoes to prevent blisters.
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.
For both brides and grooms, it is important that you do not drink too much at your wedding reception. Although a few drinks are okay, getting drunk will just make you not remember your day and could cause you to do or say something that you are going to later regret.
If you follow the above advice, it will not only help you prepare to make your wedding visions into reality, it will also help you practice organizing and planning in ways that will benefit you in your marriage. That’s a bonus that comes with putting in the effort to make your wedding wonderful. You learn lessons that you carry with you for the rest of your life.
