Things You Should Know When Planning A Wedding









Weddings fall into three main categories; formal, informal and semi-formal. The larger your wedding, the more formal it has to be and the more formal, is the more elaborate it will be. Factors that dictates the formality of your wedding are as follow:

1. Location/Venue (beach versus a banquet hall).

2. Attire (for you, your wedding party and guests).

3. Time of day (morning versus evening wedding).

4. Decor (this sets the ambience, linen choices, backdrop design, and centerpieces, all speaks to how formal your wedding is).

5. Food choice (finger food depending on menu can go either way).

6.Serving style (buffet versus a sit down dinner with several courses).

Other factors that follow are the wording of your invitation, the design of other stationery and whether or not you have a seating plan with either assigned tables or seats. The formality of your wedding all depends on your personality because you could like things nice and simple or you may prefer a more elegant affair but it could also just come down to your budget.

MONEY SAVING IDEA

Image
So you are on a small budget, does it mean you can't have a beautiful wedding or to be more precise a beautiful decor? Here is one idea that is sure to put that notion to rest. Use napkins to create beautiful designs for your table in lieu of expensive centerpiece arrangements, your tables don't have to be devoid of decoration, which will make them look plain and drab. Generally speaking, the decor sets the ambience, tone or mood. A beautiful decor is inviting, it welcomes, lends style and adds sophistication. It also functions as a backdrop for great looking photos, along with establishing your theme or colour scheme. Your decor can make you and your guest feel like royalty. So while you make your list in the order of importance just consider using affordable solutions to cut cost instead of removing an area altogether. Don't underestimate the importance of your decor as it can be an extension of how you feel about your guests and one of the greatest rewards ...

The Tradition of Wearing a Bridal Veil

Image
Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? Arranged marriages are often cited when discussing the origin of the wedding veil. When daughters were considered a commodity to their family, a marriage was a way of sealing agreements between families and increasing assets. A Bride and Groom would likely meet for the first time on their wedding day, at the altar. The veil was used to obscure the bride's features, only being lifted after the marriage ceremony was completed. This was to keep the groom from backing out from the deal if he didn't like what he saw. Some historians say that Ancient Romans were the first to incorporate the veil into the wedding ceremony, believing the bride was vulnerable to enchantment, so she must be hidden from evil spirits. The Romans veiled brides in flame -coloured veils to actually scare off those spirits who were jealous of her happiness and seeking to disrupt the union. In modern times, generally we have some ...

The Tradition of Having a Wedding Cake

Image
Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? Wedding cakes weren’t originally eaten but thrown at the bride for fertility luck. In fact, In ancient Rome, marriages were sealed when the groom smashed a barley cake over the bride’s head. Anyway, getting cake smashed on your head was probably preferable to eating it because early wedding cakes weren’t exactly tasty. But, by the mid-sixteenth century nicer tastier cakes were being made. The nice cakes stopped all the cake smashing and inspired more cake eating. Brides of the early 1900s notably had a cake that resembled fruitcake. The origin of the tiered wedding cake started in Anglo-Saxon times. Guests would bring small cakes to the wedding and stack them on top of each other. Later, a clever French baker created a cake in the shape of small cakes and covered it in frosting. It is now known as the tiered wedding cake. Brought to you by Regal Creative Design Wedding and Events! Visit websit...

How To Select Items Or Services For Your Wedding

Image
Planning your own wedding or event can be a huge task because it puts you in the driving seat to find and then decide on how or what to choose when making purchases, rentals or booking the services of a venue or vendors. It can be a real challenge trying to decide why you should go with this service or that or whether or not to choose this package or that. It can be tricky because you can't always base your decisions solely on prices and while it's an important factor it's not the only factor that will aid in making the right decision. Another factor that should be considered is "order of importance" which plays even a bigger role because this will help you in choosing one item over the other or what's ultimately right for you. In order to know the answer to what are the most important things to you, you'll need to create a list based on your event and number the order of importance with number 1 being the highest. You can then choose a...

Do I Need To Send Save-the-Date Cards For My Wedding

Image
Congrats, you're engaged, it's time to start planning and sending save the date cards would be your first announcement to guests about your upcoming wedding plans. Save the date's can be sent around 6-8 months ahead as a form of pre-invitation to an upcoming wedding to guests that resides oversees, because they'll need to make travel and hotel arrangements, along with saving towards the trip and getting time off for a few days. It's also advised that you do the same for your other guests, especially if you'll be having your wedding in a holiday period because some persons make other arrangements for their holiday and you won't necessarily know which guests will be doing so. In general, send to all your guests just to cover all aspect.

The Tradition of Bride Standing on Groom's Left

Image
Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? In Ancient times, grooms had to defend their brides at the wedding ceremony. You know the part when they ask if anyone objects to the wedding? It used to be a whole lot more common for folks to object. Sometimes it was other suitors of the bride, sometimes it was her own family members. The groom historically stood to the right of the bride to keep his sword hand (usually his right hand) free. If anyone came to attack he could push the bride aside with his left hand and draw his sword with his right. Nowadays you can stand wherever you want, there are no hard and fast rules unless it conflicts with your faith somehow. As in the case of a Jewish ceremony, the bride is often on the right and the groom on the left. Brought to you by Regal Creative Design Wedding and Events!

Does The Size Of Your Bridal Party Really Matters?

Image
Most brides never stop to think about the size of their wedding when choosing their bridesmaids because the emphasis is mostly placed on having people their close to participating in the wedding. While that is the goal everyone you're close to may not be able to participate and you'll have to balance between the size of your wedding versus the size of your bridal party. The size of your bridal party should be proportionate to the size of your wedding and the size of your wedding will also dictate how formal it should be. Formal weddings tend to be large, so you can have between 6-10 bridesmaid, the same amount for groomsmen along with your best man, maid/matron of honour, flowers girl and ring bearer. For semi-formal weddings which tends to be medium sized, you can have 2-5 bridesmaid, the same amount for groomsmen, along with your best man, maid/matron of honour, flowers girl and ring bearer. Informal weddings which are usually very small can have your mai...

Before You Say I DO

Image
So you're getting married and wedding plans are on the way, but what about preparing for the marriage? Everyone wants a beautiful wedding, but you shouldn't spend all your money on the wedding and none for the marriage. It takes more than just love for a marriage to work and no one gets married with divorce on there minds. With that in mind, here are a few questions that engaged couples should be asking each other. Please note, that this is not a comprehensive list and it doesn't negate the need for having premarital counselling. 1. What are your expectations of me as your wife/husband? 2. How will we maintain a good marriage? 3. Will we have a shared bank account? 4. What happens if one of us becomes ill? 5. Will we spend most of our holidays together or with friends and family? 6. Will we be sharing the house work, if we both have jobs? 7. How will we resolve conflict? 8. Who will manage the finances? 9. What happens if one of us loses our job?...
