The Wedding Reception is Your Beautiful Backdrop for Your Memories

The considerate bride and groom often keep the wedding and the reception at the same location. They want to celebrate with friends and family and not spend their time driving around in a car from place to place. The guest prefer not to also.

The Wedding Reception will depend on the theme of your wedding. Some couples are only interested in having the usual traditional wedding at a church with a small gathering of friends and family right after the ceremony. Other couples like to follow the customs of their own nationality and even though the activities may appear strange to those attending, it feels normal and comforting to the family involved in the rituals. Couples are free to discover a theme that is significant to each of them.

There has been a strong interest in outside wedding receptions in the past few years. Some like the calming feel of the water, others keep in mind the driving time and make arrangements for a ceremony at a nearby park gazebo or a sanctuary. Other great ideas are local historical sites or even an art gallery. If you have the ceremony outside, the reception can be outside as well. You will be able to invite everyone you like if it is outdoors.

If you prefer to have the wedding reception inside, you can narrow down your options by considering your guest list first. If you do not want to compromise on the guest list, you may need to settle on a less high end reception. If the number of people you both want to invite is rather small, then it will not matter so much, so pick what you really want. The day should be a medley of all the things the bride and the groom like. One way to provide each guest with a keepsake is to have items personalized with the wedding date and the name of the bride and groom.

If you are both paying for the wedding reception, do not forget to budget in a nice honeymoon. Consider it part of the wedding experience and chose a destination that you both will enjoy. Recently, some one came up with the clever idea of getting married and the honey moon in the same location. People seem to really like this because you can exchange your vows and and then enjoy the remainder of the time as an extended reception with your family and friends. Who doesn't like a longer party!

The theme of your wedding will also extend to the food you want to serve at the wedding reception. If it is going to be outside or near the water, easy to eat finger foods will be a smart choice. A series of cupcakes arranged to look like a wedding cake will be less messy and easier on the budget. You may decide to be married at sunrise on the beach and want to serve a breakfast buffet.

So You’re Planning an Outdoor Wedding! Things You Need To Know

So You’re Planning an Outdoor Wedding! Things You Need To Know.

By: Susan Dunn, MA, Personal Life Coach

CLICK HERE - TO FIND AN OUTDOOR WEDDING LOCATION

The best advice I can give you is to test your ideas in the actual location under realistic conditions to eliminate unpleasant surprises. Work with an experience coach or wedding consultant if you can, and then keep in mind the following things:

1. THE WIND

Wind can affect the temperature, making it hotter or colder; the bridesmaids’ dresses; everyone’s hair; and whether the ceremony can be heard. Test beforehand; it can be as simple as moving the tables around a corner, or across the park to a more sheltered area.

Plan decorations and tablecloths you can anchor attractively; choose weighted fabrics for the attendants; warn them about the hair thing; and consider the need for a souns system and mike clips. If you're renting a tent, make sure its wind-worthy.

2. THE COMFORT OF YOUR GUESTS.

Okay, if you’re getting married in San Diego you may hit a long spell of “perfect” weather, but failing that, your event may be hotter, wetter, or colder than many guests would prefer.

If you’re having a lot of out-of-towners, particularly, include information about the weather possibilities on an insert with the invitation and accommodation recommendations. (I went to one in Dallas in July; 111 degrees that day, and boy were the people from Colorado and La Jolla dressed wrong!)

If it’s hot, provide iced bottles of water when they arrive, hand fans, a tent with fans.

If it’s chilly, tent, warmers, a hot beverage when they arrive, lap blankets, portable heaters.

3. NOTHING WILL HELP IF IT POURS DOWN RAIN. YOU MUST HAVE A PLAN B.

4. HOW TOUGH ARE YOU?

Come on now, if you’re at all the fussy type, or prone to nerves, this simply isn’t for you. You’ll have to manage your hair outside, for heaven's sake.

5. THE CALL OF THE WILD.

Inclement weather – or even just ordinary ocean waves and bird calls – can wreak havoc with still photographs and videos alike. I recall an amateur wedding video where most of the sound was the wind whistling around. There may also be a fountain or waterfall, dogs barking, kids screaming, birds chirping.

6. DECORATIONS

I've seen even cloth tablecloths blow in the wind, turning over glasses, candles and centerieces. Wind, bird poop, the shades of night falling ... Be xtremely realistic when planning your decorations. Actually test them outdoors.

7. NATURE RED IN TOOTH AND CLAW.

It’s from a poem, okay, but that’s where you’re going to be. Don’t fantasize about how “romantic” the place is; go take a look. Think realistically about beer bottles and cans on the beach; getting the lawn mowed and weeded; planting seasonal flowers; bugs, flies, snakes and spiders; the sounds of barking dogs and (uninvited) children, or, for that matter these days, teen drugs dealers in the park.

Have a visit with your eyes open. Then do what you need to do, or resolve it’s “good enough” and don’t worry. The world of nature isn’t going to shut down just because it’s your wedding.

8. SAFETY ... ALL AGES

You’re in love. You’re planning your big day. However, you must limit the things you have to worry about if you're going to enjoy yourself. A celebration in a park by a lake would be nice, or by the pool at your aunt’s mansion, or even at the beach, but in actuality, if there are going to be children there, and drinking … there’s also going to be the chance for a real tragedy.

Which brings up – all ages will likely be there, and must be thought of. Can you really picture your great-grandmother standing in the surf with her hair blowing, stepping over man-o-wars while picking sand out of her teeth … for long? Can the kiddos go that long without a restroom? Many people can’t stand for a long time; others need protection from extreme heat and cold.

9. THE FOOD.

Can you say "health department?" Mayonnaise (and food items with that as an ingredient) can’t sit out in the hot sun for more than an hour or so. Avoid perishable dishes. Wind can make it hard to get the grill lit. Ice cream won’t do when it’s 90 degrees outside, nor will hot hors d’eouvres last long when it’s 50 degrees outside.

10. THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS.

Yes, he promised you that … and you’ll be promising it to your guests, one way or another. Keep in mind the sun moves through the sky, and plan your event (and the photographs) accordingly. One of the most beautiful weddings I went to was planned at a hillside lodge, with we guests arriving just as the sun was setting.

Wedding ceremony Decorating Ideas - Tips On What NOT To Do!

by: Claretha Lichtman

(images added by permissible embedded code provided by 3rd party source)

Mistake 1 - Too Much Shade

A marriage is meant to be a sublime, sophisticated, "grown-up" affair and while a contact of shade right here and there adds interest & ties all parts collectively, too much shade or attempting to "match" all the pieces will make your marriage ceremony look more like a teenage women birthday celebration then a classy wedding.

Keep in mind the saying "Less is more". Try to bear in mind this when brainstorming for wedding decorating ideas. Maintain to natural colours and just use brighter colours very sparingly as accents here & there.

Mistake 2 - Attempting To Match All the things

You don't all the time have to match the color of the bridesmaid's clothes with the groomsman's ties, or with the desk cloths etc. You probably have a shiny shade on your bridesmaids, try to use an extra refined shade of it if you happen to really must "match".

I find it's best to stick pure colors like whites, lotions, silvers, golds, browns, greens (natural greens) and black. Select 1 or 2 of those as your primary colours for decorating with and use small accents of your bridesmaids color. For instance;

* Cream napkins with a cream desk cloth with a black or gold table runner. Then use your theme shade in ribbons as napkin holders at every place, or as coloured card for the place cards,
* A Centerpiece idea is to make use of largely cream flowers and greenery with one or 2 of your theme coloured flowers.
* Use all white linen with an inexperienced table runner and when you have purple bridesmaids a peacock feather or other purple flower because the centerpiece (purple & inexperienced are nice collectively)
* Use all white linen with a Black Desk runner and Mirrors on the table with a vase sitting on it with white flowers and black feathers - very Hollywood glamor and will go together with any bridesmaid color

When you must use a vibrant coloration and match it - attempt to make white or cream the principle color and the brilliant colour only a contact right here and there will look very elegant.

Nevertheless, if in case you have a really massive, empty or bland room as your reception room then you will get away with just a little more color. A tip is to stand within the room without decorations and resolve if it is boring, busy, or average. If it is boring - turn up the decorations to add interest. If its busy, use all white or all cream with just one gentle brown or gentle gold color sparingly to tone down the room and if its common, then follow my above advice.

Be at liberty to let me know if you have any questions about your ideas, I'd be completely satisfied to present you my opinion!

Mistake 3 - Too Many False Elements

Silk flowers and faux crops are an inexpensive method so as to add curiosity to your reception room, nevertheless be sure to can't inform they're false (except you contact them). If you cannot afford flowers as your centerpiece it's in all probability finest to just not use them fairly than use silk or plastic (please - don't use plastic). Some centerpiece ideas for weddings are;

* Candles are implausible & comparatively low cost from thrift or 2 dollar stores. Purchase enough for 3, every of various heights for every table. Then purchase a reasonably plate (from a second hand retailer) or piece of mirror or glass for them all to sit down on and there you've gotten it, a reasonably, low cost centerpiece.
* Feathers can be a great addition to a centerpiece. Depending in your colour scheme, you should utilize peacock feathers or you should purchase massive feathers which have been died to just about any coloration from most craft stores.
* Or you may make your personal floral centerpieces as a substitute of utilizing a florist. Buy enough tall vases for 1 per table. (you can hire them but it might generally be cheaper to purchase them from thrift or 2 dollar stores) Then get your most trusted aunt or good friend who will not be within the bridal party to go to a florist on the morning of your wedding ceremony and buy some long white Lily's or some other massive tall white robust stemmed flower. Get enough for 3 per table (don't tell the florist they're for a marriage as a result of they'll double or triple the value!) use these Lily's with one or 2 lengthy coloured feathers and some tall wicker (wicker can be purchased from craft stores or florists). Then wrap a large Black, White or Cream ribbon across the top of the vase for a decorative but inexpensive centerpiece.
* Tip - prepare the wicker, feather and ribbons within the vase in advance, then all your friend has to do is transport them and carry them into the reception room then place the flowers in with water. Organize this upfront with the reception middle so they are aware.

You can also make your individual floral centerpieces using absolutely anything but the important thing to protecting it inexpensive is to use more of different elements and only a few flowers, it's also cheaper to do most of the work/analysis/arrange and so forth your self upfront with a friend or aunt establishing on the day for you (be sure to purchase them a thanks reward for their bother).

I hope these wedding decorating ideas have given you one thing to assume about. As long as you remember these 3 things;

1. Maintain it Simple

2. Preserve it Natural and

3. Get an outsiders opinion if doubtful, then your marriage ceremony will likely be a wonderful, elegant & tasteful affair.

In the end, your wedding ceremony is a personal expression of you and your fiance's love of one another so the marriage adorning concepts have to be yours, so try to not stress about them but should you comply with my recommendation you will have friends and family complimenting your wedding adorning concepts and even perhaps stealing a few of them for their own future weddings!

Tips to Consider When Planning a Summer Wedding

By: Tiffany Jordan

There are many factors that need to be considered when planning a summer wedding. Besides the usual details such as wedding attire, the wedding location, the wedding flowers, the wedding photography, and choosing who will be in your wedding party, with a summer wedding you also need to be involved with factors such as the weather, the location, the season, tourists, storage and travel.

The Weather - Check Your Wedding Day Weather Here

By far, the biggest factor to consider as you plan a summer wedding is the unpredictable wedding weather. In many locations, the weather during the summer months is considerably hotter and dryer than it is during the rest of the year. If you plan to host your summer wedding somewhere outdoors, such as a beach, the weather could greatly effect how your wedding day goes. You and your guests could grow extremely uncomfortable if there is little to no air flow during your wedding, and if it rains, it could become an even less enjoyable experience.

Therefore, if you plan on having your wedding ceremony somewhere that is extremely warm or a place that could get an impromptu rain storm, consider the things you can do to make the event more comfortable for your guests. Providing seats for everyone in shaded areas could offer a suitable atmosphere that would allow everyone to enjoy themselves as you and the love of your life pronounce your nuptials. Shortening the ceremony, and holding your wedding reception under a tent that enables air flow, can combine the perks of having both an outdoor wedding location and indoor wedding venue.

If you are having a summer wedding, you also need to consider how the weather can affect planned details such as reception locations, wedding photographs, and travel accommodations for you and your guests. Many couples like to book a back-up plan, or a rain venue, just in case your reception can not be held outdoors as you had originally planned. You will also want to discuss with your wedding photographer beforehand specific locations where you can take photos in case of inclement weather. You may also want to suggest to friends and family to plan their travel accommodations as close to the wedding date as possible, just in case the weather prohibits them from making it to your wedding on time. If you are having a summer wedding, it is a great idea to have back up plans for all of your details.

The Location - Search For A Wedding Location Anywhere - Click Here

The wedding location is always important, but during the summer months they are even more important. During the wedding planning process, it is important to question if your wedding venue has air conditioning, and if it is prepared for handling unpredictable weather issues such as flooding or thunderstorms. Being prepared for the worst, and having back up options, will allow your wedding day to continue smoothly and without chaos. Having a back up venue will also be beneficial if a bad storm or spring flooding occurs before your wedding day, forcing you change your location ahead of time.

On or Off Season

The on and off seasons of certain locations can play a huge role in planning a summer wedding. For example, if you plan on reciting your vows at a beautiful ski resort during June, be sure to consider first if any resorts are even open during the off season. Many locations will hold different or shorter hours during their off season, in which you can visit them to see if they can accommodate your event.

CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING CENTRAL CALIFORNIA RESORTS:

Tourists

If you are having your summer wedding at a popular location, tourists may be a factor to consider beforehand. For example, if you and your fiancé met in Disney World, and want to get married in front of the Magic Kingdom, it is important to know beforehand that there will be a good amount of tourists watching as you say “I do.” The amount of tourists in an area can also impact details such as hotel reservations, and photographs. However, if you are planning on having a rather large wedding, certain locations will be glad to accommodate you since your contributions can help them flourish.

Storage and Travel

During the summer months, storage and travel accommodations will need to be strongly considered beforehand. For example, if you and your husband are planning to head off to your honeymoon directly after the wedding, you want to make sure you have a temperature controlled storage unit available. This unit can safely hold items such as your dress, flowers, gifts, and other items that you might not have time to deal with until you get home from your vacation. High heat temperatures can severely destroy keepsakes that you will have wanted to keep forever. Therefore, planning a safe place for them to be held before you leave for your trip can be extremely beneficial.
