TIP! Keep in mind that religion plays a big part in weddings and also going ahead in your marriage. Speak about religion with the person you’re engaged to and the close family members on each side so that everyone feels comfortable at the ceremony.

The wedding of your dreams need only have yourself and your partner, an officiant and love. Everything else is not needed. They are added extras that make the day even more delightful, but they are definitely not necessities. Regardless of how simple or extravagant your wedding, remember to enjoy it.

TIP! When planning your wedding, think about what type of alcohol serving you want, and what type will be the most cost efficient. For example, an open bar can cost you an arm and a leg, especially if it’s open throughout your reception.

Personalize your wedding by incorporating any elements or facets of your personal identity, your betrothed or especially the relationship you share. Select a wedding theme that really symbolizes the times that you and your future spouse have spent together.

TIP! Wedding dresses are one of the most expensive things to be purchased when planning a wedding. Look at dresses that aren’t actually classified as wedding dresses.

For a high-impact look that won’t drain your budget, consider renting diamonds for your big day. Renting earrings or a glamorous necklace can complete your look but will not leave your pockets empty.

TIP! Buying wedding gowns online can save you hundreds of dollars, but be sure to do it very early to allow you time to get your gown altered when you receive it. In fact I spent $300 in total, $100 for the gown itself, and only another $200 for the tailoring.

Flowers look beautiful as centerpieces on the dinner tables, but don’t overdo it. The flowers will often just get in the way when your guests are trying to eat. In addition, some guests could be allergic to flowers. Think about putting non-scented candles out to create a romantic atmosphere.

TIP! Once you know who all is going to give a speech at your wedding, hold a rehearsal for everyone so you can censor out inappropriate material. There will be people of all ages present, and what may seem funny to a younger person may not be humorous to an older crowd.

Make sure that the venue you choose for your reception has adequate space for dancing. If you want to dance at your wedding, make sure you have the room to do so, and if you do not, simply move some of the furniture out of the way and shake your tail feather!

TIP! Personalize the wedding so that it reflects your personalities, and that of your relationship. Select a wedding theme that really symbolizes the times that you and your future spouse have spent together.

It could be anyone, really, but they should be able to help you carry your gear. The assistant can help line up family members and round them up for group shots.

TIP! Of course, the focus of your wedding should be on the person whom you plan to marry. This lifelong decision should not be rushed.

Give your guests a schedule of events in order for all of your guests, including those from out-of-town, will know what events they should make time for and attend. Include relevant information about the rehearsal dinner, reception and so on, so that each person knows where to be.

TIP! Instead of one large, expensive wedding cake, consider serving cupcakes or several small cakes. There are many bakeries that will prepare low-calorie cupcakes for you, or can find ways to cut the calories from a cake.

An ordained relative or friend can step in to officiate your wedding. This ordination can take place quickly and easily online. This makes your ceremony more personal, while saving you money on obtaining an officiant. But do not mar this important day by breaking the law; verify that it is permitted in your region.

Craigslist is a good outlet for locating local talent for your wedding. Prior to giving them a dime, meet them personally, but have your groom along for safety.

TIP! The venue you pick needs to have enough room for dancing. Nothing is worse than a tiny, crowded dance floor where there is no room to move around.

To have a good wedding, you really only need to have a few certain elements. A lot of the other aspects can change depending on religion, cultural or personal interests. It is nice to include these extras but it is also stressful and can take away from your special day. You can’t make everyone happy so focus on pleasing yourself and your groom.
