Wedding Ceremonies – It’s all down to detail!

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

Wedding ceremonies are simply not what they used to be. Set
patterns and traditional format ceremonies are making way for
unique, well thought out wedding ceremonies that are tailored to
the individual needs of the bride and groom. However, whatever
type of wedding ceremony you chose, there are still some
important considerations when planning picture-perfect wedding
ceremonies.

Wedding Ceremonies – The Timing

Time of year is fundamental. Not everyone wants a summer
wedding, although most brides and grooms tend to favor
summertime wedding ceremonies, which means that popular venues
are likely to be booked up, well in advance. If you are prepared
to take a less traditional approach, in terms of dates and
times, you may find that you have a much wider choice of venues.

These days, many wedding ceremonies take place in
non-traditional locations such as beaches or even underwater!
Whilst it may be easier to find availability for a more unusual
venue, these specialist ceremonies are likely to be more
expensive.

Another great way of securing the venue that you really want, at
a cheap price, is to be flexible. Many locations now offer
evening or mid-week wedding ceremonies, at a reduced price.
Getting married at a non-traditional time is also likely to mean
that other costs such as transport, accommodation and
photography are cheaper. Overall, you can make substantial
savings.

Wedding Vows

No two wedding ceremonies are the same and one of the best ways
to add an individual touch, without going overboard, is to
create your own vows. These need not be religious, and can often
be more meaningful and a truer expression of love than a
traditional, formulaic vow. Always check with the person
conducting the ceremony, as there are still basic requirements
in terms of what must be said and carried out to make the
wedding legal.

Flowers and Music

It is the little touches that make wedding ceremonies special to
the individuals involved. Never underestimate the effect that a
few well chosen songs or unusual flower arrangements can have on
your guests.

Try not to have a rigid idea about the type of flowers that you
want. Remember, flowers are very seasonal, so it is always best
to ask your florist for professional advice. Also bear in mind
that the flowers you chose should complement whatever theme you
are following. So, for example, if you are going for simplicity,
stick to simple flowers that are classic and understated.

Always check with venues for wedding ceremonies what sorts of
floral arrangements they can accommodate. Some venues will have
limited space and may need to re-use the area very quickly, so
will be unable to cope with large amounts of flowers. If flowers
are important to you, remember to check with the wedding
ceremonies’ venues BEFORE you book or, failing that, request
that you are the last wedding of the day.

Thinking about the small things early on will make the big
things happen, on the day

Cutting Down on the Expense of Personalized Wedding Favors

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Most brides today want some type of personalized wedding favors; after all, wedding favors are meant as a reminder of that special day and this means having their name and wedding date somehow included on those favors.  But do any type of shopping today for personalized wedding favors and you’ll see that these can be somewhat expensive, some costing four or five dollars per piece and even more than that in many cases!  So how can you cut down on this particular expense for your wedding but not compromise how beautiful and unique this option is?  There are actually some simple ways to do this.

Many couples today want personalized wedding favors that include a favorite photo of them.  However, give this some consideration.  You may love this photo of you and think that the favors look wonderful with it, but what about your friends and family?  Will they really want to use coasters with your faces on them?  Or keep a key chain with that picture dangling from their keys?  There may be several guests who immediately think that this type of item is just a bit tacky, if not downright pushy. 

Including the option for a photo is usually the biggest expense when it comes to personalized wedding favors, more so than just your names and date, and may include a set-up charge along with the charge for the favors themselves.  Ask yourself if this option is really worth the expense for an item that your guests may not even appreciate or enjoy using anyway.

Another big expense when it comes to personalized wedding favors is the need to have your name and date engraved in the item.  Anything crystal, silver, pewter or another hard element is probably going to cost you more than anything made of paper.  For instance, if you look at most small crystal paperweights that are offered as wedding favors, you’ll see that they typically cost around four dollars per item, whereas most personalized candy bar wrappers are less than a dollar.  This may be a small difference per item, but consider how many guests you’re having at your wedding.  A three-dollar difference in favors, multiplied by the hundred guests you’re inviting, means an additional three hundred dollars for those paperweights alone.  Since most couples today are trying to plan a wedding on a budget, choosing a more affordable option for personalized wedding favors may not be a bad way to go.

Of course, if you have some talent you can always make up your own personalized wedding favors by way of bookmarks you create yourself and have printed at the office supply store, or sugar cookies decorated with your names and date.  These are not only affordable options, they’re also very creative and a fun way for the bride to express her thanks to her guests.

In the past few years, the business of personalized wedding favors has been booming, with an endless variety of options for brides.  This is good news for those looking to save a few dollars on this part of the wedding and reception, as there are many affordable and still very nice choices, if you do a bit of shopping and comparison.
