Bridal Couple’s Signature Drink

If you are planning to serve some alcoholic beverages at your wedding, but are mindful of how extremely expensive that can become, how about deciding on a signature cocktail? Choose something that you both like as a representation of the two of you, together. Make it the only hard liquor drink that is served. Otherwise, offer beer and wine as well as soft drinks and you should be able to make all of your guests happy while controlling your expenses well beyond what an open bar would cost

Both the wedding dress and the tux, even if it is rented, can be an very expensive part of your wedding budget.Think outside the box. How do you and your fiance like to dress? If he would be more comfortable in colorful suspenders and a white or colored shirt and matching bow-tie, then go with it. Perhaps you can find a formal that would look great with his slightly wilder style and still look like a wedding dress. Let your attire make a statement about the two of you but don’t get stuck in wedding dress rut just because you think that is what you are supposed to do. You will both be happier on your wedding day if you are both wearing outfits that you are comfortable with; whatever that may be.

You are now a wedding couple ; so try to include elements in your wedding that reflect you and your spouse and your time together, so far. If you met outdoors or your favorite activity is hiking, then perhaps an outdoor wedding is just right for the two of you. If  you love to travel, then a destination wedding may be just right. If you found each other in church and your shared faith is an important part of your relationship, then a ceremony in your church followed by a reception in the fellowship hall may be perfect. Think about things you enjoy doing together and let that be the inspiration for the style and theme of your wedding.

Quality Wedding Photography Is Important

Wedding pictures will be how you remember your special day in the future. You must find a photographer that both of you feel at ease with. It is critical that you both like the photographer’s style. There will be no do-overs and if one of you looks stiff, the pictures will look staged and you will not be happy with the result. You both need to spend some time meeting with photographers before you make your final decision to make sure that you get it right.

When choosing colors try to consider how you both will look. Don’t put your groom in pink just because it is your favorite color. Discuss with your groom colors that he likes as well as those you like. Then, select how to incorporate this blending of colors in dresses and flowers and vests for the guys and cakes and everything else you need to choose colors for. The wedding will wind up an expression of the two of you a wedding couple.

Frequently, the bride and groom have very differing tastes in food and cake. Work with your caterer to include some food items for each of you if possible. Certainly, this will be much easier to do if you are serving a buffet versus a plated meal. In the case of a plated meal, perhaps you could offer appetizers that particularly appeal to the groom or a vegetable or salad that is his favorite. The simple answer to two different tastes in cakes is a groom’s cake as well as a more traditional wedding cake. Or, you can even go for a  small cake for the bride and groom to cut and then a wide selection of cupcakes to make everyone happy.

Many brides have dreamed of exactly the kind of wedding they want to have for years before they begin actually planning it. Most grooms try to be very agreeable and go along with whatever their bride wants. While there is nothing wrong with the bride following her dream, remember that this day is the beginning of your life together and that life will involve finding common ground for both of you for the rest of your life. If you can spend time making sure that both of you, your styles, your tastes. your interests are reflected in your wedding day it is an excellent way to begin your life’s journey, not only right now as a wedding couple but for the rest of your life.
