If you or your future husband have a great voice, one of the things that you can do is to sing a song at your wedding. This should be a slow song that you dedicate either to your future soul mate or someone that is looking down upon you at your wedding.
To document your wedding day the best that you can, make sure that you have a large guest book. This will allow people to write what they are feeling and jot down some of the memories that they had with you. This can be a memorable keepsake for the rest of your life.
Incorporate small decorative elements into all your wedding decorations. Take the ribbon you use in a bouquet for instance, and use the same ribbon for table centerpieces, your hair or your gown. This will help with the elegance at your wedding.
Look at samples of past work before hiring a makeup artist. Is the style they do to your liking? Make sure it is something you can see yourself wearing. You don’t want to find yourself with makeup that doesn’t appeal to you right before you are about to start your wedding.
Bring a pair of fold-up flats with you to a wedding so you can dance the night away without destroying your feet. The worst thing to have on your honeymoon is sore feet, so take care of them! Book yourself for a pedicure just before you leave on your trip and include waxing to make sure you’ll look super hot in your bikini!
If you want to save money on a cake, consider cupcakes or mini-tarts. Times have changed and despite the oddness you may feel based on tradition, guests tend to prefer this and it saves not only money but also prevents waste. Guests can just grab one or two cupcakes on their way out, putting them inside an embellished cardboard box.
Try to buy your best man or maid of honor a gift to show your appreciation for helping to make your wedding day a good one. This will make them feel honored for being part of your special day. Purchase the gift way before the wedding so you do not forget to do so with all the craziness of your big day.
Planning a wedding means setting a budget; being successful in your planning means sticking to your budget. It is easy to add a few dollars here and a few dollars there when choosing vendors, venues and assorted wedding needs. A few dollars adds up and can carry you far outside your expected budget. Stick to your budget and you will thank yourself after.
Add some sentimental value to your wedding attire while saving money. Jewelry can be a very expensive addition to your wedding look. You might find some choice pieces that are hiding in a relative’s or friend’s jewelry box. These items can add unknown appeal and design effects to your dress that make you feel beautiful and instill warm feelings during your day.
