Planning a wedding is a fun affair, but the joke’s on you if your plans go awry and your guests take home memories of a disaster rather than the image of you walking down the aisle as pretty as a picture and the solemnity of the vows you and your spouse-to-be exchange. Alfresco weddings are beautiful affairs no doubt – there’s nothing finer than nature in all her splendor – but only if you plan

There are many ideas of what you can put on the reception tables. Here are a few ideas: - Disposable cameras - Centerpieces (of course!) - A frame listing the guests names, and a variety of Bride and Groom photos, i.e. baby photos, recent photos, engagement photos, Bride and Groom with family photosA nice touch at the wedding is to set up a table with flowers on it and a votive candle, and a

Presentation flowers are often presented to the bride’s mother and grandmother, and the groom’s mother and grandmother. Presentation flowers are optional, but you’ll need to decide whether or not you want to have presentation flowers since the recessional rehearsal will be a little different. Presentation Flowers are a symbolic gesture. A simple rose or two is all that needs to be given. Don’t

Photographers - Make sure that your photographer has the rules of the church in advance of the wedding. - Churches have very strict rules about photography, so always go over the rules with him/her. - Most churches don’t allow flash photography during the actual ceremony, so you might want to have this instruction printed on your invitation or wedding program (if you have one). - It’s

Two years ago, we had booked a wedding for a date in July. I met with the bride and groom twice before the wedding--once for an initial meeting and again at a Wedding Seminar. The groom was black and the bride was Hispanic. He listed his occupation as "attorney" and she was a dental hygienist. He lived on this side of town, and she lived on the West side of time. On the form I have them fill

Short stories from a wedding planner… - The bride who forgot her bra!
