Take a deep breath and
relax because the BIG question youre already asking yourself is... "Where do I
start?"
Well, the only way to successfully plan your ideal wedding is
to start with your wedding reception dreams. Treat yourself to a few bridal
magazines [youve always wanted to buy one and now you can with that rock on
your finger!]. Start looking around in haberdashery departments and put together
a collection of the materials, styles and colours that appeal to you. These will
provide the vital ingredients for your wedding reception ideas board or
scrapbook or however you choose to present them.
Your thoughts can then
spiral off in a swarm of different directions as you start to ponder
wedding themes, wedding favour ideas, colour themes and style themes, etc. It is
truly important to set the tone of your wedding first and then everything else
falls in to place. For example, if your bridal gown shop knows you are going for
a traditional "ivory and gold" theme, she can then direct you on gowns to suit
this theme. In addition, you can then inform your wedding favour supplier that
any ideas for wedding favours must fit within this theme.
Wedding favours
come in all different styles and design. They vary from candle favours,
chocolate favours, cd wedding favours, beach themed favours and many more. You
can even personalise your favours to make them exclusive to your guests.
In
these early days, there is no need to ask for the grooms remarks - wait until
you have narrowed down some ideas before you introduce them to him. He wont
really respond to "do you like this?" and "what about this?" being thrown at him
50 times a day. It is far better to approach your groom once you have narrowed
down groomsmen ideas, colour ideas, wedding reception ideas, wedding favour
ideas, etc to a minimum. You will also get a more truthful answer from him. Dont
forget, even though ideas for wedding favours have completely taken over your
life for the second, he might not share your enthusiasm at this early stage of
the preparations.
Throughout your ideas stage, you must not overlook your
wedding guests. Fundamentally, it is your day, however every girl wants their
wedding remembered for its class and grace. The one way that guests will
treasure your wedding memories is by the giving of unique wedding favours.
Second to your wedding themes and wedding reception ideas, you must think about wedding favour ideas carefully. Once your stunning day is over and youre
embarking on married life, you want your guests to look back at their favour
boxes and bomboniere and reminisce!
However you plan your amazing day,
and whichever of your unique wedding reception ideas and ideas for wedding
favours you choose, have a special day and a magical married life thereafter!
