By Aaron Hu, executive summarized by Andromeda

When you told your folks you were getting married their faces lit up like Christmas trees. When you said “in Vegas!” they looked like you had hit them in the head with a hammer. The thoughts going through their mind was a 2 am wedding in a pink chapel with Elvis conducting the ceremony and matching tattoos at the reception. Well, if that is what you want Las Vegas has you covered but really they offer so much more. Las Vegas has more weddings than any city in the United States and they are not all done by Elvis. Las Vegas has flare and prides its self for having something for everybody so get you wedding favors ready. Wait, first decide on what type of wedding you want, then get your Las Vegas wedding favors together. Its time to get hitched.

If you are just looking for a nice, more traditional wedding, Vegas has plenty of options. Most of the major hotels have standard chapels that are not themed with the casino and most offer a planner to help you set up your arrangements. Unless you live in Las Vegas this will be a priceless help. Some over the chapels seat over 100 people while other seat 50 and some are very small. Once you know how many people will be coming you can pick the appropriate one. If the actual ceremony is very small (5) then you can meet people at the reception. Most of the really small ceremonies can be video taped and can be shown at the reception. You might just decide to do the private ceremony then honeymoon for the week and return home for a reception and show the video there.

If you want a chapel, though, that does stay in the theme you have several choices. Egyptian is one that is common. If you were having your wedding dress made you might even decide to have it made from Egyptian cotton. A lot of our wedding traditions started in Rome and were spread across Europe by the Roman Empire so why not have a Roman wedding. That venue also has a garden if you want to get married outdoors. Las Vegas is one of the few places you don’t have to worry about getting rained on (sorry, if you do happen to get rained on it obviously was not meant to be). A pirate wedding would be lots of fun. They do it on their own Treasure Island. You rings are delivered by a pirate swooping down from the crows nest.

It really is the small ones that are so nice. Getting married on the Eiffel tower would be great. Well, of course it’s not really the Eiffel tower but you didn’t have to fly near as far and this one is legal! Italy is not too close but now you can wed on a gondola. It looks like Venice but clean. A popular wedding in Las Vegas are the helicopter weddings. Yes, you can get married in the helicopter hovering over Vegas but they have more ideas for you. You take the helicopter to the rim of the Grand Canyon and marry there. It is even better at Red Rock Canyon.

How ever you want to marry, you can find it in Las Vegas. Big or small, elegant or gaudy, they can do it.

OK, now you have your wedding plans made and you are thinking about the decorations. You will need wedding flower centerpieces for the church and for the reception tables. There are a lot of different types of flowers that you can use; there are silk flowers, crepe paper flowers you can buy or make, real flowers, and then there are mulberry paper flowers.

The silk flowers can be bought singly or already made up into centerpieces. You can buy the single flowers in super centers, craft stores, and some floral shops. The wedding flower centerpieces that are already made up you can purchase at floral shops, specialty stores, and on the Internet websites.

Real flowers can be purchased the same way either singly or made up already. The only problem with real flowers is unless they are kept cool and damp they will wilt and die and so they are not easy to keep for any length of time.

crepe-paper-flowers

Crepe paper flowers can be made by you or family members and can be used over and over for other special occasions after the wedding is over. And they will not wilt or die if they are made in advance of the wedding.

All you will need to do is make several of the flowers you are using for your wedding bouquets etc. and then get some pretty vases or other containers that you think will be pretty to show off your flowers add some small pebbles, sand, or small marbles to the containers and put your crepe paper flowers in these then add some greenery to fill in around your flowers and there you have a beautiful wedding flower centerpiece made by you.

These paper flower centerpieces can be recycled or reused if kept in a safe dry area for years to come. So this makes them eco-friendly too.

mulberry-paper-flower

You can make mulberry paper flowers out of mulberry paper or you can buy them already made up either as just a single flower or in bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, or wedding flower centerpieces etc. The easiest way is to buy your flowers already made.

If you want to buy the flower that is already made and then make your own flower designs this is also a way to make them less expensive to save on your wedding budget. And they will not take as much time to do. All you need to do is buy some of the mulberry paper flowers get a container that will compliment your wedding add some type of filler for the container such as Styrofoam, small rock, sand, or small marbles and then add your flowers and greenery in the design of your choice.

These centerpieces will be your own unique design so you can take the credit for all the compliments that you get on how wonderful the beautiful wedding flower centerpieces look and you can be proud of your creations.

Mulberry paper flowers can be purchased on the Internet as single flowers as I have stated or they can be bought already made up into centerpieces. There are several web sites that sell mulberry paper flowers make sure you check out a couple of them to find the flowers that you are looking for.

wedding services

Many businesses compete to captivate customer’s attention everyday, making it hard for you to communicate your messages effectively. Like all other businesses, your wedding services need to reach out to as many people as possible. This can be done by promoting your services through various communication channels like television, radio, and print. The key to achieving effective communication is by keeping all things simplified, straightforward, and concise.

• Answer questions. Aside from promoting your services, your marketing medium should also provide answers to make it beneficial and valuable for customers. Instead of keeping clients guessing, provide answers to their questions. Whether you are inviting clients to attend your bridal fair or to try your wedding services, you must supply all essential information so as not to mislead them.

• Engage your readers. Engaging your clients to read your marketing copy is as important as attracting their attention. Once you captivate their attention, you must motivate them to continue reading on. Make your message friendly and conversational instead of trying to sound like a serious and boring business professional. Photos work wonders to any marketing medium, so use wedding photos that sell. Give your clients a clear picture of what your wedding services can offer them to pique their interest.

• Create distinction for your business. In this crowded business industry, you must learn how to differentiate yourself. Come up with an innovative marketing campaign and send your message in a unique and memorable way. Focus on the features of your business that other wedding services do not offer. For instance, you can put emphasis on your out-of-the-box wedding invitation designs. Provide clients with samples of your unique work as proof of the quality service you offer. Opt for online printers that provide quality wedding envelope printing and postcard invitations. Professional printers print wedding envelopes and postcard invitations perfect for presenting your sample designs to clients.

Communicating with your clients comes easy if you are armed with the appropriate marketing tools and are able to send your message to the right people. Remember that simplified communication works better than long and complicated marketing message. Always think of yourself as a client so you’ll know what communication strategy works for them.

wedding-planning

At long last he has said those magic words ‘will you marry me’. You are now engaged. The wedding date has been set. What now?

Here are a few tips to help you organize and plan your wedding to ensure nothing is forgotten or left behind.

You have been to the local newsagent and bought the latest bridal magazine. There are pages and pages of photos of beautiful wedding dresses, rings, shoes and accessories and it is full of ads on what to buy and where to buy it. There is some information on what the requirements are at a wedding but not enough for you to really get started.

Start planning your special day now, get organized instead of rushing, and have the wedding of your dreams.

Careful planning will enable you to truly enjoy every moment of your Wedding Day. Arrangements for a large conventional wedding should ideally commence between 8 – 12 months prior to the wedding date. In saying this, weddings have been planned in as little as 6 weeks and have been very successful. By using a wedding timetable (this is a list of to do’s) you can follow a list of time frames to complete tasks, 12, 6, 3 and 2 months before, 6 weeks before, 2 weeks before and 1 week before the big day.

Don’t forget delegation! Family and friends love to help for special occasions so use them. Bounce ideas off them, get their opinion, you don’t have to act on their advice however more ideas are better than none to be able to make an informed decision.

wedding-research

Research and systems

When doing your research you will collect large amounts of; information, photos, samples, receipts and business cards, therefore you will need to create a system to keep all your wedding details in the one place.

It may be a ring binder with tabs for each category, or an expansion file where you are able to quickly locate information. Some of the categories may include; Wedding Dress, Men’s Attire, Bridesmaid Dresses, Catering, Reception, Photography, Florist, Wedding Vehicles, Music, etc.

You could also create a scrapbook and cut images from magazines, print them off websites, insert photo’s you may have taken or photo’s from other peoples weddings. With a scrapbook you will be able to see how items work together to help you coordinate the theme of your wedding. Hints and tips can be noted, for example, place a disposable camera on each table (these are the shots you wouldn’t normally get) and place your guests name on both sides of their name card so other guests know who is sitting at the table.

Keep a list of the most important aspects of your wedding; the venue, the entertainment and your wedding dress. When you feel you are getting bogged down with all irrelevant details, refer back to what are the most important aspects of your special day.
Budget

Set a budget and stick to it! Weddings can be beautiful and fashionable without costing a fortune. By carefully budgeting, prioritizing and the assistance from family and friends you can have a wedding that is as good as any of the celebrity weddings at a third of the cost.

You may wish to open a bank account specifically for wedding expenses. This way you can keep track of all your expenses. Choose an account which offers a high interest rate on balances to get the best from your account and you may then be able to include those items that you thought you couldn’t afford from the interest.

Guest List

Start by writing down all the people you know. Then start a separate list from the people on the first list who are important to you, the people who you really want to share your special day. Then continue to fine tune your list until you are at a number which is within your budget. Remember, for every name you add to your list the more money you will have to spend or you will have to do without in other areas of your planning.

Just imagine having a set of printed roses all around you, on your sleeves and the lower half of your wedding gown. Such floral wedding wear are unique and would double up your freshness.

However, having big floral prints around the neckline and waistline would mar the effect. Leave them plain or go for something that comes with buds and leaves print.

He Might Not Be An Exception: Men love to admire a lady flaunting her toned calves. The reason is never derogatory. It is widely believed, that the more beautiful are the legs, the healthier a woman is.

So you can’t blame him to see a physically fit soul mate. Try out a tea-length bridal wear and flaunt your beautiful legs. These gowns are a rage this spring.

But be careful! The gown should come with open neckline. Definitely, an open collarbone makes a perfect combination with bare legs. Get your waistline embroidered. This flattering and sensuous dress would make him flirting with you there only.

Getting married is a truly exciting time for the happy couple and that excitement can lead to a very expensive occasion but it doesn’t have to be like that. You can get married for less with these cheap wedding ideas.

There are many ways to limit your total spend on the wedding, just because you have a budget does not mean it has to be a dull day.

You can have a wonderful day, which of course it should be and still not break the bank. Remember the point of getting married, it is because you want to be with your partner and to show your devotion in a formal manner.

Flashy weddings are for the celebrities who feel the need to impress their friends and the glossy magazines so leave them to it. A British newspaper recently featured couples who got married for less than £500, do they love each other any less? I do not believe so.

Probably the single most expensive item for the day will be the wedding dress. This is also one of the most important items to the bride, men, take note you will have to take a back seat here. You can trim the cost if you try, by looking at used wedding dress, gasp, horror, used wedding dress? OK, lets take a look at it from this angle, many brides will marry in a vintage wedding dress, for vintage read secondhand.

cheap-wedding-ring

A used wedding gown can be bought from many places and when you consider it has probably only been worn once if at all then a slightly less expensive dress can be a great saving. You can buy fabulous wedding dresses online so check it out.

The next items are the rings, huge diamonds may look impressive but a plain gold band will be more practical, less likely to lose a stone and be cheaper to insure! Remember it is not the size of the diamond but the size of the heart that gives it.

The wedding breakfast can be made cheaper by inviting a small gathering of family and close friends, wedding venues make a fair amount of money out of catering for weddings so reduce the number of guests and you reduce the cost. If you want a big party for everyone that you have ever met, do it after the honeymoon at a cheaper venue. You will be more relaxed then anyway and probably enjoy it more.

cheap-wedding-cake

The wedding cake does not have to be a massive commercially made one, if you have a friend who loves cooking ask her to make one, it will make her day and probably be tastier.

A major expense will be the honeymoon if you let it. Think ahead, holidays vary considerably in price throughout the year so if you are set on a couple of weeks in the Caribbean plan your wedding for the cheaper times. Organizing a long haul holiday can be stressful at the best of times so consider a short break in a country hotel instead; you have the rest of your lives to see the world. I hope you find these cheap wedding ideas useful.

If you are getting soon I wish you everything that you would wish for yourselves and point you to some cheap wedding dresses and vintage wedding dresses.

Do you ever think that we could prepare the wedding by ourselves before? When planning a wedding actually there are so many things that can be done by your self. Nevertheless, most of us have some doubt or unconfident feelings about “do’s and don’ts”, “must and must not do”.

It is absolutely right that for certain aspects about your big day should be handled by a professional. Why? It’s because a certain level of expertise must be need for some services. Catering, decorating, wedding dress, make over, etc. are some examples you might think that are easier than they really are. However, in some condition, you will not even save that much money by doing things yourselves.

Let’s see the list below about what you can do and don’t or must and mustn’t:

1. Do make your big day a joint venture between both bride’s family and groom’s family. Usually the grooms only need the info about what to wear, where and when to showing up. Some brides more dominance by issue order and make all decisions. Do make your decisions for main things together always – since you’ll be doing this for the rest of your lives and this is the best chance to start.

2. Do get all the things which can get done in advance done as far in early on as you could. Don’t ever catching in the

wedding

day before your wedding that you just realized that you have not gotten your marriage license yet or that your wedding gown isn’t ready.

3. Do let your wedding ceremony reflects and gives representation of both of you, who you are as individuals and who you are as a couple. This can be done by music, choirs, readings, vows and other personal stories with music selections background you make or choose.

4. Do please count into consideration of “family tensions” or “sore spots” especially when you arrange your seating. Particularly if parents have divorced and remarried but still have tension in each other’s presence. Be careful, when decide their seated at the ceremony, reception and dinner too.  It is very crucial as it could be caused unnecessary stress and also tears.

5. Do delegate, delegate and delegate. Let other’s help you then a week before the big day arrive you still could have time to relax

wedding

and indulge yourself by spa treated. The point to do this is to make you more beautiful, charm, great and to avoid you looks tired to enjoy your own wedding.

And now let take a look about the don’ts?

1. Don’t ever try to use your budget for education or buy a new house just to have a glamour wedding party. The most important thing is about the love between you and your partner. It is not about how much money you spend. It will be the meaningful and unforgettable ceremonies of the rest of your life without coming to an end of bankruptcy.

2. Don’t conceal your expression. This is your big day, express yourself freely. If you want to sing, let sing. If you want to dance then let dance. No need to shy just because your uncle is a good singer or your aunt is a good dancer. It doesn’t mean you have to let them sing or dance at the first place. Tell them that you love them very much and say you are appreciated for their wonderful attention by attending your wedding day.

3. Don’t delay the things you can do now or you can delegate it. If you don’t want a disaster the week before and the

the wedding

day of the wedding, just organized it well. The earlier you are the less those “last minute” things to do, the more you will be able to feel and enjoy your own wedding day.

4. Don’t have over expectations about having everything done in perfect. Great? Yes. Perfect is something difficult. Keep your mind that this is a joyful party of love rather than a class examination. A little mistake is generally commons. Peoples will just skip it, so, don’t too much worry about it, otherwise it will see in your face. Of course you don’t want to miss your beauty aura and your charming face isn’t it? That’s they will always remember with fond memories for years to come.

5. Don’t ever touch drugs or drink alcoholic beverages prior to the ceremony. All must understand that the nerves are jangled and tension is high, but drugs and drink would put you at the worst situation. Get drank or even crave for is not the solution. Don’t forget to pray, ask your God to bless both of you and for your keenness… Amen.
