Confessions
Confession-I have given every aspect of my future wedding much and careful consideration. (To any one who really knows me, this is NO surprise). I could tell you RIGHT NOW what details and traditions i want included in my spcial day, as well as those details and traditions i want excluded. I have a binder, well two binders actually that are full of ideas, images, inspirations, dress', cakes, invitations...you name it, its in there. I have been collecting ideas for years, literally. I don't know what it is about weddings that intrigues me. Its really not the being married (forever-YIKES!) part, but more just about that one, fabulous day.Although i dont think most women are quite as wedding obsessed as me, i do think most have given some thought to their own wedding, if not already had their own wedding. So I just wanted to share some of the more creative ideas i have seen or heard focusing on weddings. Just some things to think about... enjoy!
-if you have many guests coming from out of town, or guests that you dont get to see as much as you'd like, consider inviting everyone to a local baseball game while they are in town for your wedding.
-place a small arrangement of flowers on seats of loved ones who are no longer with you but whom you would like to recognize during the ceremony
-long sparklers make for a lovely send off at the end of your reception
-opt for the actual photographs of you and your groom instead of the less intimate powerpoint presentation. They can be tacked to foam core or strung up using cloths pins.
-rent an old fashioned photo booth at the reception. The kind that prints strips of 4 photos!
-consider your guests comfort and provide shaws, umbrellas, sunscreen, fans etc, dependent on the weather and location
-have the caterer prepare a to-go package of food to be brought to your room at the end of the reception with a bottle of champagne. Chances are you wont have the opportunity to enjoy the dinner at the reception.
-opt for a smaller cake (much cheaper!) and have plain sheet cakes in the back that are also cut and given to guests..they will never know!
