Before you construct your Wedding ask yourself... Let's say your bridesmaids are wearing deep purple and the church has deep red carpet and pews. Now what? Stay calm we have a number of solutions! |
REHERSAL TIPS..![]() Planning ahead keeps stress away! -The day before your wedding place a penny with double-side tape on the floor of the church or wedding site where each member of your bridal party will stand during your wedding. During rehearsal guide them to the penny, keep the penny down for your wedding (the penny is dark and will not be noticed by others). Tell your flower girl and ring bearer they can pick up the pennies and share them after the Wedding! - Sometimes little ones in any bridal party pose a challenge to getting down the aisle. They may be fine at rehearsal yet freeze and refuse during the wedding. We suggest having your young bridal party members remain seated during the ceremony. Our tip: During rehearsal have a quiet small gift waiting for them in a seat on the front row or where they will be seated (Yes, this is a bribe for restless, scared and loud little ones). Show the gift to the child (don't pick it up) during rehearsal, let them know the gift is for them when they are seated during the wedding. Always have an adult responsible for each child in your bridal party at all time. Never be responsible for your own child on your Wedding Day. |
Shrink your budget ![]() Ask your parents, friends or neighbor... "Where is your Wedding Guest Book"? Our guess ..."tucked away some place". Then ask them... "How many times did they look at your guest book"? Answer.... "once or twice". WHY SPEND MONEY FOR SOMETHING TO SIT IN A CLOSET? Here are some our favorite out-of-the box guest book alternatives.... engagement photo or couples photo. Surround your photo with a white or ivy photo mat. Guests can individually sign this! After your Wedding replace the photo with your Wedding Photo, add glass and display in your home. 11x14 mat = 65 signatures (5x7 photo) 16x20 mat= 160 signatures (8X10 photo) or Another alternative is your Wedding Album. Open your album to the last back page and let guests sign in on this. As an added touch you can add a handful of photos of the two of you on the opposite page. If you prefer place a beautiful piece of stationary within the book for guests to sign. Now your album and guest attending will both become your history. Reception Registry: Use the personalized guest registry idea (above), only have a caricature made of the two of you. Surround this 8x10 photo in a 20x24 mat. Place a sign asking guest to place a message and sign. or Purchase a quilt. Ask each guest to sign a square and/or place a message on a square. Use a fabric pen. |
