It’s important to include the beliefs and values of your immediate families in your wedding ceremony. You should talk about religion not only with your fiance but his family as well, to build understanding between you.

Practice walking down the aisle as much as you can right before the wedding. This needs to be done where the wedding is going to be held so that you’re familiar with the specific area and flooring as well as how your shoes react. This makes sure you’re comfortable during the big day.

Do not under-eat in an effort to fit into your dress. Starving yourself will just dehydrate you and make you feel sick. You definitely don’t want to end up fainting on your big day. Buy a dress that has a corset back instead for more flexibility.

Practice your walk in front of mirrors to feel comfortable on your wedding day. Avoid twisting your ankle as you walk down the aisle by wearing flat, comfortable shoes. Having footwear that is less sexy but will keep you from falling is an easy decision to make.

If you are holding a destination wedding, have a basket filled with useful items for their trip delivered directly to their room. Put items in these baskets that they can use on their trip. These can be maps, disposable cameras, a pair of sunglasses, a hat and also a pamphlet detailing where it would be fun to visit. Be sure to include a local restaurant guide and possibly some coupons to make dining easy.

If you want your colorful wedding cake as the focal point of your reception, present it on a coordinating fabric tablecloth. You can opt for patterns, solids or heavily textured fabrics, such as silk, satin or velvet, to add visual interest and tie all elements together.

Multiple course receptions should have treats on the table for guests to consume between servings. Opt for sugar roses that match your wedding color palette, edible, sugared petals, or thin, flavorful crackers to whet the appetite.

See if a friend has something they wouldn’t mind letting you wear for your wedding. A nice bracelet or necklace will both complete your look, as well as give you “something borrowed” for the day.

If the couple like travel, try to find wedding decorations that appeal to this hobby. Invitation can be designed to resemble a travel brochure, boarding pass or vintage postcard. On the date, a vintage suitcase can be used as a display piece. Simply fill it with favors, photos, or wedding programs and prop it open in a prominent location.

When young children are in the wedding party, make sure they are dressed in clothing that is comfortable for them. Favor soft fabrics, and avoid dressing children in clothes that are too tight to fit comfortably. The children’s new shoes should be broken in and comfortable. This small detail can ensure that the children remain focused on their part in the wedding, instead of fidgeting with uncomfortable clothing.

Every aspect of a wedding should be planned in minute detail. You want all your guests to be excited and constantly interacting with what you have planned on your special day.

No matter what type of reception you want, keep your caterer informed; for example, if you want an outdoor reception, help your caterer understand that. Some foods do not last in the heat, or may not stay on plates if it’s too windy. You may consider using decorative covers for your dishes. If you have to, use a small fridge for keeping drinks cold.

Think about your guests if you are having a destination wedding. You might have guests that plan their vacations around here, so they need time to prepare. Sending out save the date cards or invitations, if possible, at least 8 months in advance, will allow for just about any arrangements your guests will need to make.
