Do you have a wedding coming up and need great ideas? You are definitely in the right place. The following tips will ensure the day goes smoothly and is everything you hoped it would be.
When deciding on your wedding cake, try to achieve colors that will match your theme. You can use a Pantone book, to help you find the exact colors that you will be using. Most cake bakeries use this book to help them color the cake to match your wedding. Having a cake that completely matches your color scheme, can be very impressive for your guests.
When taking photos at a wedding things can get hectic. Have a family member help the photographer out by getting all the family together when it’s time to have group shots. It’s a lot easier to call people by name in the case that they’re not doing what they’re supposed to be.
Even if your budget is small, having two photographers at your wedding can catch shots that might be missed otherwise. Consider asking family members to take on the roll as an additional photographer, or even have both photographers be someone you know personally. Free is the best way to go, and they might even give you the end product as a wedding gift.
As you are planning your wedding and stressing about the cost and details, take some time to talk to some of your recently-married friends, both female and male, to help put things in perspective. Ask what the best and worst aspect of the day was for them, what they wished they had invested more time and money in and what, in retrospect, was a waste of effort. If you can get some feedback from those who have been through it before you, you can save a lot of heartache freaking out about the color of the tissue insert in your invitations and deal with what really matters.
Having a family member photograph your wedding can save you a lot of money, but you have to remember that you’ll get what you pay for. They probably won’t have expensive lighting rigs or the latest camera equipment, so your shots will end up looking less than professional. That said, they can still be beautiful, so don’t worry! Just don’t have high expectations that could make your family member feel guilty.
To ensure you have photos of everyone in attendance at your wedding, have a photo booth set up right next to your guest book. Photo booth rentals are readily available and can be set up in a variety of ways, usually with the help of the booth operator, who will assist your guests and guide them into making some memorable pictures for your photo guest book. When the photo has been developed, the attendant can put the picture into an album and have the guest sign it with their congratulatory wishes. You can also choose to have two sets of photos printed so you can give your guests one as a little remembrance of your special event.
Now all you have to do is plan and hope the sun is shining. You should be able to kick back on the big day, enjoying all the fruits of your labor.
