Venues are usually more expensive then. If you really want your wedding during this season, book as far in advance as possible for a great deal.

TIP! One of the things to consider for your wedding is transportation. It is good to have taxis or limos to help guests get back to their hotels or lodging after the reception.

One thing you need to think about during the wedding planning process is what alcohol will be served, and how much you want to spend on it. Open bars can be expensive and can be more so if they’re open a long time. Ask the venue about their various alcohol service options.

Buying wedding gowns online can save you hundreds of dollars, but be sure to do it very early to allow you time to get your gown altered when you receive it. It is perfectly possible to purchase a gown for a few hundred dollars and have it altered for as little as $200. Make sure the costs are included in your budget.

TIP! Instead of spending a fortune on a wedding cake, get a bunch of mini-tarts or cupcakes. Times have changed and despite the oddness you may feel based on tradition, guests tend to prefer this and it saves not only money but also prevents waste.

When you decide who you want to give the speeches during the reception, ask them to read them to you so you know they are appropriate. Remember that your guests will include people across a wide range of ages, and a joke that younger generations find amusing might be offensive to older guests.

TIP! If you are holding a destination wedding, have a basket filled with useful items for their trip delivered directly to their room. The basket should contain useful items such as a map, sunglasses, disposable cameras and a hat.

TIP! An ordained relative or friend can step in to officiate your wedding. This ordination can take place quickly and easily online.

Employ a good friend or relative, as long as they can haul your equipment and gear through the evening. They can assist you in getting the family together for group shots, too!

Make sure the lights at the venue are on a dimmer switch. You will probably want to lower the lights for your first dance, but have brighter lights during most of the reception. Check with the venue about these specific options before booking anything for certain.

TIP! Plan everything for the wedding, from reception activities to the food. You want all your guests to be excited and engaged.

Give your wedding guests a time line of events of your wedding, they will know how to plan! Inform people of events, like rehearsals, that they are required to attend, so they will be where they are supposed to be at the scheduled time.

Do not allow your guests to get bored or restless between the courses of your meal. Just about anything will do, even crackers with a bit of flavor.

When planning an outdoor wedding, it is important to have an alternate plan established so that you are prepared if bad weather becomes a factor. Some ideas are renting a couple of tents, or using a place that has indoor as well as outdoor accommodations. Planks can be used on wet ground so guests do not soil their shoes.

TIP! It’s always a nice touch if you can write your wedding vows yourself. Although it is easier to borrow a copy from another source, writing your own vows is special.

Ensure your flowers look beautiful at the wedding. If vintage themes are your choice, then beautiful flowers in vibrant hues may provide the effect you desire. These include fragrant yellow and pink peonies, red poppies, and bright daisies.

TIP! You can save a lot of money by using things other than flower arrangements at your wedding and reception. For example, instead of a flower wreath for the flower girl’s hair, try using a tasteful and elegant ribbon.

If you don’t want to spend a small fortune on flower arrangements on the reception tables, have you considered a display of potted plants instead? Colorful pots can be decorated with paint, ribbon, or decoupage to make the arrangements even more lively. The guests will be able to take the plants home with them as wedding favors or the lovely couple can use them in their new yard.

TIP! If you have little money for your wedding, you can still enjoy a lovely time. You don’t have to take on debt to have a beautiful wedding day.

It is vital that your wedding lives up to the bride’s expectations so that she can be happy during the wedding. If she has to stress about planning, and deal with a under par wedding, it will absolutely ruin her. Make sure she approves all aspects of the wedding, or she might get annoyed.

TIP! Your wedding venue should play a role in decisions about your theme, decor, and floral arrangements. If your wedding will be outdoors and in a windy location you want to make sure to choose hardy flowers.

As you consider music for the ceremony and reception, it is a good idea to fully research whomever will be providing the music. A good DJ or musician will be able to provide references of satisfied customers. Once a decision has been made, you need to ensure the person signs a written contract for confirmation. That way, you will not have any bumps in the road when it comes to the all-important music.

TIP! Begin planning for your wedding as far in advance as possible. The more time you have to plan, the better your odds will be of getting everything you want for your wedding.
