I just recently attended a wedding and they had a
photo booth! I can't tell you how wonderful and fun that addition was.
I was able to see the completed photo album...with writing and sayings from the
guest! This added feature really spiced up the event. The company I
have listed on my website under Organizing Your Event, Freeze Frame Photobooths,
had many props available for your friends and family to use in their pictures.
Each guest also received a copy of the four photos that were put in the bride
and grooms photo album....I'd say this is a perfect substitute for favors
than the traditional kind.....they were so helpful also in encouraging your
guest to have fun with the photos...once the curtains are closed, almost
anything can happen! I saw in the album that guest, young and old, find
their inner Rock Star, Diva or Party Animal...

Have a talk with your fiancé before the big day....
NO CAKE FOOD FIGHTS when cutting the cake. It will not
only mess up makeup, hair and possible your clothes....it will start your
marriage off on a very bad tone.

Years ago it was believed that you should have only
two wedding colors. But the latest new look are as many (or as few) as you want.
Just make sure all of the colors work together. Of course, if you want a
timeless dress for your bridal party, you can always do classic black with
vibrant accessories and bouquets.

Just a reminder: Some DJ's only play music.
If you want your DJ to make announcements....make sure to check with him on your
request, before you hire him....he needs to have experience doing this as well
as a good speaking voice.

There are many rules surrounding marriage licenses
so research your rules months before your wedding. Here in Louisiana your
license is only good for 30 days. There is also a 72 hour waiting period,
so don't try to get it the day before the wedding.

What color will be your wedding. Colors that
are HOT are: green, yellow, orange and pink. Metal colors like gold,
silver, copper and pewter are also HOT. Single colors in bunches that are
different sizes and shapes. And of course, black, black, and more,
black...go ahead and show off your dramatic flare.

Making every guest feel appreciated is back in a
big way. People want their guest to know that they are honored to have
them share their special day and how much that means to them. They are
placing a lot of thought into their favors. gone are the days of generic
candy covered almonds-think locally grown products, artisans, personalized
mementos and eco friendly items.

Your bridal bouquet is one of the most important
elements of your attire. Because of this, it deserves special attention.
Start by selecting the color and shape of your bouquet. Remember to carry
your bouquet low enough so that all the intricate details of your gown are
visible. Be sure to make your final arrangements for your bouquet and all
other flowers well in advance of your wedding date. Also remember to
confirm your final order and delivery time a few days before your wedding.

When you first start planning a wedding, the
process can seem completely overwhelming. You want everything to turn out
perfectly down to the smallest detail, but it can be difficult to know where to
start. One of the first things you need to do is research wedding venues. First,
you need to decide your wedding budget. Be sure to reserve your date because the
best venues book up fast

Be sure to pack these important items a week or two before and stash these
items in a small bag. Ask one of your maids to hold the bag and bring it
in the day of your event while you are dressing. (Breath mints, travel size
mouth wash, compact mirror, hairpins, hairspray, cotton swabs, eyedrops,
hairbrush and/or comb, nail glue, wet ones, nail file, tissues, safety pins

There are many Myths concerning weddings. An
example: You have to have the same number of
bridesmaids and groomsmen. Not true. For my
daughters wedding some of the groomsmen
walked two of the bridesmaids at once. This
is perfectly fine. What's important is that
everyone you feel close to is a part of your
day - just remember, there is no rule that
says both sides should have the same number.
