Preserving the Memory of Your Wedding

January 31st 2010 17:48
Preserving the memory of your Wedding

There are many ways to go about saving the memory of your wedding. You can choose one or several options. You will want to decide on your option before you wedding so you can have in mind the kinds of pictures, videos, or slides you would like to remember. Besides having a memory for yourself, you may want to prepare a memory for some of your friends and family as well.

Photo album
A photo album is a great memory of your wedding. It can be a scrap book album, or a padding framed album. To make it special, if you don’t want to hand make it, embellish it with your own touch of lace and silk accented flowers.

For a nice gift for a friend or family, buy a smaller version of an album and choose pictures with that particular relative or friend as well in the album.

Wedding slides
Making wedding slides can be fun but can take some time. You can actually do this on your computer either with your power point program or you can just put all the photos in one folder and use the slide feature in my pictures on your computer. You could even put captions on the photos with a photo shop program.

Video
In order to have a video, you will need to hire someone. Either a professional or an amateur will need to be taking pictures. It is probably better to hire someone who will be able to edit the movie of your wedding to make it presentable to show to everyone. You could also buy copies to send to special people as gifts.

Disposable Cameras at reception
Putting disposable cameras on the reception tables for guests to take pictures is a great idea to capture memories. You never know what you will get with these pictures and granted, they are not the best pictures because of the film but they are a nice surprise when you get them developed after the honeymoon.

Saving Money on Wedding Music

December 20th 2009 21:09
If you’re looking to save money somewhere on your wedding, the wedding music may be the area you can save. Although, music and entertainment is an enjoyable part of the reception, paying a lot for the music may not make much of a difference. Let’s face it’s more about the people you’re with then who is actually doing the music. I’ve been to weddings that hire high cost entertainment that was ok and weddings that hire not so expensive DJ’s that were much more fun!

It’s ok to hire an Amateur D.J. You can find these types of talents in high schools and colleges. It’s not hard to find them, just ask around, or call your local schools. Have them do an audition for you.
A relative is not a bad idea as well for doing the music. They also know a lot of people at your wedding which can make it more fun.
Hiring an amateur live band is also a good way to go to save some money. Again, ask for an audition so you can get a feel for how they sound and if you will be happy with them.
As a last resort, and its not really a bad choice as well, have a friend take care of changing a pre-decided set of CD’s. Either have someone make up the songs you choose on CD’s or do it yourself. Have someone who is attending the wedding (who will not let you down) take care of the songs with a small announcement with particular songs, like when the Bride and Groom dance etc.
This is your wedding. You must decide what is most important to you and what is not.

Bridal Wedding Gowns

November 30th 2009 02:15
Becoming a bride to be is one of the most thrilling times in ones life. Taking time to make decisions and choices is best done one step at a time. One of those first choices will be your wedding bridal gown.

There are many decisions to make when you have become a Bride to Be. When it comes to the gown for your wedding, there are many choices to make as well. First, you should decide on the design of your gown. You can choose formal, informal or semi-formal. The most formal gowns will be long and extravagantly adorned with pearls and trimmings. The informal will mostly be short to the knee and much simpler in trimmings. The semi-formal may be long or short with much more elaborate trimmings than the informal dress. Informal dresses may be in many colors. Formal dresses traditional are in satin white or off white colors.

After you have decided the design or type of gown you desire, then you should choose the style of the neckline. Sometimes you may have a specific kind in mind. If it is an outside wedding, as in a garden or on a beach, its better to have less fabric so you won’t be perspiring. In this case, try off the neck although it doesn’t have to be cut low. You may also want the low cut back in this case with no sleeves.
If you are engaging in a winter wedding, you can go with long sleeves and high or low cut neckline.

Chances are, you in your uniqueness will fall in love with a gown that is perfect for you. You may actually fall in love with the first gown that you try on, like I did.

Leftover Wedding Decorations

October 27th 2009 19:06
If you are planning your wedding at this moment in time, you may not realize you will have to make plans for the wedding decorations. After the reception is done and you are off to your honeymoon, you will still have the problem of figuring out what to do with the Wedding decorations.

You may want to designate someone to follow through with this and make a list of whatever is leftover after the reception and what to do with it. That way you won’t have to worry about it. Have this friend carry out your wishes as to packing up the decorations and where they will go. This can be a big project, depending on how many people are at your reception.

Save the Date Wedding Cards

October 26th 2009 10:32

If you want to insure good attendance at your wedding, you should plan on using Save the Date cards. You can order magnets that your guests can put on their refrigerator to remind them of the date.
You can do this quite inexpensively. Try ordering the magnets on E-Bay. I found they were very professional and reasonable. There are so many choices too. All in all, this will save you the heartache of too many regrets from invitations. What a great way to remind people each day of your upcoming wedding. You can double that chance even more by signing up for a wedding site and putting your web address on a business card so your guests can see how the plans are coming.

Planning a Bachelorette Party

If you are a Maid of Honor or the best friend of the Bride, you may be the one planning the Bachelorette Party for the Bride. Finding ideas that are fresh and new are not always easy for this kind of party. This party need not be a surprise for the Bride like the wedding shower.

Beach Weddings

October 10th 2009 01:31
Having a beach wedding can be a great theme for your wedding. Beach Weddings can be a more relaxed way to go especially if this is not your first wedding. It can be a casual but elegantly romantic kind of ceremony. Guests can dress more casual and be more relaxed.
Bride
A themed Beach wedding is fun to plan. To begin with, make sure you plan a dress or gown that is lighter and a bit more casual for the beach. Matching shoes should be the kind that are easy to walk in the sand, such as flat sandals. I have even seen some brides use plain flip-flop like sandals and decorate them according to the colors of their wedding.
