Did you ever think that we can prepare our own marriage alone? When planning a wedding in fact there are so many things you can do by yourself. However, most of us have some doubts or are not feeling confident about the “do’s and don’ts,” “should and should not do”.

It is true that for certain aspects of your special day should be handled by a professional. Why? That’s because a certain level of expertise should the need for some services. Catering, decorations, wedding dresses even card invitations are some examples you may think that it’s easier than the truth.

Let’s look at the list below about what should and should not do:

1. Do not get on the day of your special event as there is a joint venture between the family of the bride and groom. Grooms usually just need info about what to wear, where and when to appear. There are couples who for some family-dominated decision-making problems. You should make the decision for the main things are always together – because you will do this for the rest of your life and this is the best opportunity to get started.

2. Prepare everything in stages since the distant days as you have time. Do not think that it can all be done in a day. Do not let happen the day before your wedding just realized that you do not invite the guest of honor or your wedding dress is not ready for instance.

3. Do not let your wedding ceremony reflect and give a representation of you both, but you as an individual and who you are as a couple. This can be done with music, choir, video clips, pre-wedding photos, or other personal stories with background music of your choice.

4. Be careful in determining the position of sitting at the reception, ceremony and dinner as well. Especially if the parents have divorced and remarried but still have tension in the presence of each other. There must be no unnecessary stress and tears.

5. Strive to delegate tasks, do all of yours, so do you still have time to take care of yourself. At least a week before the big day arrives you can still have time to relax and pamper yourself at the spa. The goal is to make you more beautiful, stunning on your wedding day.

6. Never attempt to use the funds or the budget for education or buying a house just to have a glamorous wedding. The important thing is about the love between you and your partner. This is not about how much money you spend. It would be more meaningful and memorable than the rest of your life, not the beginning of bankruptcy.

7. Do not hide your expression. This is your special day, so expression yourself freely. If you want to sing, let it sing. If you want to dance let dance. Don’t be ashamed just because your uncle is a good singer or your aunt is a good dancer. This does not mean you should let them sing or dance in the first place. Tell them you love them and appreciate their attention by attending your wedding day.

8. Do not have excessive expectations about having the perfect party. Big? Yes. Perfect is something that is difficult. Keep your mind that this is a fun and sacred feast, not a class. A small mistake is common. Society will just skip it, so do not worry too much about it, otherwise it will look on your face. Of course you do not want to miss the aura of beauty and charming face you is not it? That they will always remember with fond memories for years to come.
9. Never touched drugs or drink alcohol before the ceremony. Drugs and drink will put you in the worst situation. Do not forget to pray, asking God to bless you both and your will … Amen.

Facts & Tips For a Las Vegas Wedding

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.

Wedding receptions are the most fun part of the wedding. After husband and wife exchange vows, everyone comes together in the wedding receptions to celebrate new life, and love together through music, food, and drink. Wedding receptions can be held in gardens, hotel ballrooms, in your backyard, clubs, by the shore in a beach, on a lakeside, restaurants, and anywhere with a vast land such as wine countries. It can be formal or informal depending on the way you like it to be, but appropriate for everyone else as well.

By working on the venue of your wedding reception, here are some ideas to make wedding reception decor planning a breeze.

1.      Outdoor weddings.

outdoor wedding decoration

If you are having an outdoor wedding, it’s much better to keep the decor up to the minimum since nature is already a decor itself. An open air reception already gives a good backdrop and necessary ambiance. Supplement the nature with light complementing colors as a backdrop just to have a focal point. If it is a wedding reception by the beach or lake, use light, free flowing material for the table clothes, napkins, or any drapes. White and ivory provide a good contrast. You can put up pillars to hold up a tent, and decorate it with leaves and sheer cloth for a grand walkway, depending on your location.

Clear candle holders are a great way to add some lighting and romance when night falls, otherwise take advantage of the natural light that outdoor receptions provide. For centerpieces, a large clear bowl with floating candles and flowers adds a delicate touch of sparkle. Use soft and pale colors for the candles, like white, blush pink, or pale yellow.

Flowers are a must in a garden wedding. Flowers, in various kinds and textures, add color and life to a wedding. If you want to tone down the mood, you can use white and ivory flowers such as lilies and roses. For more casual receptions, a variety of colorful flowers can be used. Great color combinations for flowers to consider, depending on your theme, are yellow and pink, green and white, purple and white, red and white, deep purple and lavender, and blush pink with yellow.

For lighting, torches are a great idea for garden and beach weddings. Placing them around the perimeter of the reception will be the most ideal way to use them. Hanging lights are also great for lighting up a tent, you can choose from a variety of designs to suit your style. You can also hang lace strategically where the wind blows; it adds a pretty accent to the natural setting. Christmas lights and Japanese lanterns hanging from a wire around the location are an affordable alternative as well.

Choose a good material for an outdoor dancing area. Use a simple two inch wooden square area, or an elevated platform with railings. You can brighten up the dancing area with hanging lights and colorful lighting. For beach weddings, rattan or straw mats with pillows for guests to sit down and talk on are also great.

Make sure to plan for emergencies, if you are having your wedding during a time of year when rains are a possibility, always have a back up plan.

2.      Indoor weddings.

indoor wedding decoration

You can amplify the style, color, glamour and drama in your reception for indoor weddings. If you are going to hire a disc jockey, depending on the type of music you will be playing, you can get one or more disco balls to hang from the ceiling to add a more celebratory vibe.

Spreading delicate rose petals on tables are a lovely touch, and the centerpieces can vary from elaborate to simple. Some ideas for simple centerpieces would be a simple glass vase with just one or two flowers in it, the delicate beauty of white flower buds are great too.

For daytime indoor weddings, liven up your table with wildflowers, daisies, roses or carnations as a centerpiece. If your wedding theme is very simple, you can take advantage by adding color through the centerpiece. Go ahead and experiment with two or more colors.

Lace or ribbons can also be added as accent to indoor wedding decor. Use a sheer lace as tablecloth, or around candles, torches, or other forms of lighting you might use. You can use two ribbons of contrasting colors to add drama and elegance. Some combinations are: black and white, black and gold, deep purple and magenta, deep red and rust, white and silver, gold and purple. You can also use ribbons to tie flowers on the back of chairs.

Bubble machines are also good additions for indoor weddings, especially if a lot of children and young people are going to attend the wedding.

Most importantly, keep the convenience of the guests in top priority. The best is to keep it simple, but work around your creativity and your color schemes.

wedding reception decoration ideas

Family and friends gather for a wedding, which is more of a formal occasion, then, gather for the wedding reception, where they all get to enjoy the celebrations. You can create a beautiful setting for your wedding reception by decoration the venue with exquisite floral arrangements, enchanting table settings and other special touches.

One of the most important factors while planning the wedding reception decorations is the venue. The wedding decorations for an outdoor venue such as a vineyard or a beautiful garden will be far different from an indoor venue such as a hall of a church.

You might be enchanted by the view of a location but you need to pay equal mind to the table settings, tablecloths and silverware. When selecting a venue be sure of check out every minute detail. Will the venue allow your guests to enjoy a dance? Are the chairs comfortable? Does the color of the carpet match the décor?

If a theme has already been selected for the wedding, the decorations for the reception should go with the theme. But if that is not the case, then a theme can also be introduced in a wedding reception and decorations that match the theme can be selected.

Candles can help create a delightful atmosphere. Candles differ in the way they burn and the time for which they last. If you’re planning a short cocktail reception, small votive candles are ideal. However, if you’re having a dinner or luncheon, followed by dance, tall tapers or large pillar candles will be better suited.

A tall wedding cake adds to the spirit of festivity. Even if you are having an intimate reception with a small number of guests, you can still have a tall cake by requesting the baker to add several “fake” layers of cake as a base. They’ll have the same frosting as the rest of the cake and no one will be able to tell the difference.

Cost is also a very important factor in deciding the wedding decorations. The emphasis should be on going in for decorations that create a wonderful ambience but are easy on the pocket.

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.
