One of the best and most memorable couple moments you will ever have is when you get engaged. But it can be far from tender when you are going about planning your special day. Read on to find out how you can make wedding planning as fun and exciting as the ceremony itself.
For instance, consider a menu of contemporary fusion with popular dishes. Throw in a bit of ethic themes with special desserts and drinks.
Perhaps you could print your own invitations to save money. Don't order invitations; instead, purchase invitation kits and make your own invites with personalized fonts, wording and ink.
If possible, see if your reception venue offers lighting choices. This might seem like a trivial detail, but you want to be able to lower the light for your first romantic dance as a married couple and increase the lighting for other moments of the reception. Ask the prospective venue about it, before choosing.
Go easy on the number of fresh flowers you put on the guest tables for your wedding reception. Most of the time, the flowers are just in the way of your guests. Plus, a few of your guests could have flower allergies that you were not aware of. Unscented candles can get placed around the tables for an atmosphere of romance.
Brides who love luxury and fashion might select to sprinkle some sparkle in their bouquet through the use of diamond, crystals or rhinestones. You can use small pieces of costume jewelry, heat-fixed or adhesive crystals, or perhaps a treasured heirloom.

Make a design for your wedding, put it on paper, and shop around for businesses and services who can give you that design. When you are checking out wedding planners that offer your kind of wedding, weed them out by cost and what they offer.

To help you prepare dancing for your first dance, you should practice dancing in a long skirt a few days before your wedding. Though you may have warmed up to your ability to move about in your skirt, it may be a bit cumbersome for your groom, so put on some music and dance together. This can get your soon-to be-husband used to any awkwardness he might feel, which can really happen with full-skirted dresses.
Dress any children attending your ceremony in comfortable attire. Choose fabrics that are soft against the skin and that fit without bunching or pinching. The children's new shoes should be broken in and comfortable. This allows the kids time to focus on what they have to do instead of struggling with their outfits.
Once you've decided on a wedding date and your theme, next on the list is invitations. The invitations themselves should feature the theme of the wedding and the colors. Before you make a decision on wedding invitations, consider all of the options.
If you opt for a colorful wedding cake that can stand on its own as a focal piece for your reception, you might choose to present it atop a coordinating swatch of fabric. A pretty tablecloth made of textured fabric, velvet, shiny satin or a lace that matches the wedding dress are all nice choices.
Your mother, and any bridesmaids that are going to aid in helping you get ready, should be dressed and ready to go by the time they are needed to help you with your wedding gown and accessories. You should be the focus, during the last minutes before the ceremony. If they have to worry about getting ready, they are not focused on helping you.
