Evaluating Ideas for Planning Your Wedding

When you start planning a wedding you will get a lot of input from everyone that thinks they should have an opinion on how your day should go.  The best you can hope for is that the bride is allowed to pick her helpers. Then if someone is called on to help out then they help out without putting up a fight.

But sometimes some people have some pretty good wedding ideas and it may not be a bad idea to take some of these wedding ideas and incorporate them into your wedding.  It also helps if you have actually been to a couple of weddings to see how things work.  Of course, if you never get the chance to get to a wedding before you start planning your own, then you are on your own, but there is help out there.

Honestly, the best wedding ideas come from the people that get paid a huge sum of money to come up with great wedding ideas.  There is a reason that wedding planners get paid a lot of money and those reasons are that they come up with some great ideas and then it is their job to make sure the ideas get executed perfectly.  If the wedding planner’s wedding ideas do not get executed perfectly then, for what you pay the wedding planner, you can then execute the wedding planner.  But usually they have some incredible wedding ideas and the weddings planned by wedding planners do not go horribly wrong like they do in the movies.

Thinking Outside The Box

Remember that any far-out wedding ideas you get have to be pulled off. Before you start insisting that the head table at the reception be made totally out of frosting, you may want to consult some people who know about that stuff and see if this is practical and possible.  There is no such thing as a bad idea when you are brainstorming; there is only the bad decision to put a bad idea into action.  So be sure to check all the angles on your idea before you start pulling any triggers to get it off the ground.  Yes it is your special day but the laws of common sense and physics cannot be suspended just for you.

The indication that you are on to a bad wedding idea is if enough people that know what they are doing tell you that it is simply impossible to pull off your idea.  You have a wedding to plan and if you spend months obsessing on how to get a fountain that uses ice cream and keeps the ice cream cold all night long then you miss out on the other important stuff you have to plan.  Pace yourself and make sure you get enough expert advice.

Finding the Right Flowers for Your Wedding

Filed under Prescott Weddings

There are so many ways to get wedding flowers that it is possible that people may not understand exactly how many options that they really have. Your wedding flowers should add to your wedding but not take away from it.  It is important to get wedding flowers that go along with the theme and color scheme of your wedding so that it all looks like one uniform ceremony and the beauty is in the ceremony where it should be.  A quick look at the different kinds of wedding flowers you can get and the different ways to get them will shed some light on the extensive amount of ways that people can save money on their wedding and still maintain the beauty of wedding flowers.

Some people love flowers and when they get to planning their wedding they like to go a little crazy with the wedding flowers.  The flowers at a wedding are nice but remember that anything that is used as decoration for the ceremony is to be just that, decoration.  An over abundance of flowers can take away from the ceremony itself, and there are some other considerations as well.  If the wedding is outside, then a lot of flowers can attract a lot of uninvited stinging guests.  Nothing ruins a wedding more than a stampede of people trying to get away from a swarm of bees.  Some people are allergic to flowers and even though it is your day you have to have some consideration for your guests as well.

Why Pay To Keep Them?

In this day and age of the ready made society it is no wonder that there are fake flowers available for weddings.  These wedding flowers are usually made out of silk and while they look nice they still look like silk flowers.  But some people like silk flowers and prefer to use them for their wedding.  The use of silk flowers takes care of the allergy and bee problems and also allows you to keep your wedding flowers for the rest of your life as, obviously, silk flowers never die.  But there is an even more economical reason to use silk flowers.

Many people are finding that a way to save money on their wedding is to rent their wedding flowers.  The rented flowers are obviously the silk ones and the bride gets a bouquet to keep but the rest of the flowers are on rental and this can save you a lot of money, and hassle, when the wedding is over and you have no where to take the rest of your flowers.

Choosing a Wedding Cake and Designer in Prescott

Choosing a wedding cake and designer isn’t exact science, but here are some tips. Knowing your budget is a good place to start. If the budget isn’t necessary for you, then move on to the next tip. However, many people cannot afford to spend lavish amounts of money on a cake, so there will be some limit on price. Once you’ve ruled out the overpriced options, you can move on to researching designs. When you plan a wedding that is themed, finding a design will be simpler. Without a theme, you’re able to choose the design as you wish. Whether these things matter or not, it will help you to focus on what you want.

Now that you have an idea of what you can afford and styles that suit you, you can start looking into different designers. Try to find local designers that use techniques and designs you enjoy.

Unique Wedding Planning Ideas - Dance Floor Activities

Dancing is an essential component at most Prescott wedding receptions. We look forward to the couple’s “first dance” and the bride’s special dance with her father. It’s also a place to get loose and funky, if you’re a guest or a member of the wedding party.

But what if the wedding planners decided to add some fun and surprise to the dance floor by adding fun activities there? This doesn’t mean a rousing version of the “Bunny Hop”, which, while maybe essential, is hardly unique.

There are, however, many fun games and activities you can add to your dance floor activities that are sure to be a hit.

Try a fun game of the “chicken dance”. Ok, so that doesn’t sound too original. But if most of your guests are just sitting at their tables, watching a few brave couples dancing, or just finishing their meals, you might want to get everyone up and having fun. Try this game.

The DJ announces a number. Everyone looks under his or her chair, where there is a number. Depending on the number of guests at the wedding, there might be only numbers “1″ and “2″ or more, up to 5.

So, say the DJ announces number “4″. Each person checks under their chair to see what their number is. These numbers can be written simply on a piece of masking tape and affixed to the underside of the chairs when the reception is being set up. Each “4″ in this scenario will head to the dance floor to do the chicken dance with the other “4s”. Not only does this get people out of their chairs and on to the dance floor, they get to know other wedding reception guests they might not otherwise know.

One dance floor activity that’s gaining popularity is to bring in a dance teacher for the wedding reception. As a kind of pre-dance activity, the teacher will quickly walk people through their paces on the dance floor, perhaps teaching a bit of the waltz or, for something completely different, a little bit of the tango, before the music officially begins and dancing commences.

Having a dance teacher do a bit of teaching not only livens up the reception right from the start, but it gets people out on the dance floor who might otherwise be too self-conscious normally to get out there and let it all hang out. And practically speaking, it will likely make the wedding guests feel more confident in their skills before the “official” dancing begins.

Another fun activity to get everyone on the dance floor, including even the most reticent, is something you can refer to as the “snowball” dance. This is a good way to jumpstart the dancing at the beginning of the evening.

Here’s how the “snowball” dance works. The wedding party, bride and groom included, will head to the dance floor for a fun dance. The music for this dance should be fast, something with a disco beat or a fast song that most people have at least a passing familiarity with. After a bit of wedding party dancing, the music stops. The female members of the wedding party move into the crowd and bring back one male each. The male members of the wedding party do the same, but they bring in female guests. The dancing then begins again. This is repeated until all the guests are dancing. It’s truly a snowball effect!
