Planning a wedding involves a seemingly endless amount of work, and can be a bit overwhelming in the months and weeks leading up to your wedding. Some people are lucky enough to be able to pass a lot of the burden on to friends, family, or even a wedding planner – but, regardless of how much help you enlist, you will still be involved in many aspects of planning your own wedding. And, along the way, you will likely find that it is some of the smaller details over which you have the most control. With that in mind, here are a few thoughts that might be helpful with planning certain details of your wedding ceremony.
Bridesmaids Dresses
In many cases, figuring out the design and style of the bridesmaids’ dresses can be one of the trickiest parts of planning the wedding! The simple fact is, with traditional bridesmaids’ dresses, it is hard to satisfy all of your friends and family members that may be acting as bridesmaids at the wedding. Fortunately, however, a (HYPERLINK) http://www.weddingbee.com/2012/06/19/bridesmaids-dresses-trends/ (ANCHOR) “new trend emerging” in these dresses makes the whole process a lot easier. These days, it is becoming fairly common for bridesmaids’ dresses to match in colour, but not necessarily in style. This way, your bridal party can appear unified, and can blend in beautifully with the ceremony, but each individual bridesmaid can choose a flattering and comfortable style for herself!
Wedding Rings
While most people envision wedding bands as fairly traditional, and fairly basic in appearance, you may want to take the time to make sure that you and your future spouse are absolutely as happy as you can be with your wedding rings. When you set about choosing wedding rings, you may find that there are more options than you realized, and this can complicate the process. For example, if you look at a site like (HYPERLINK) http://www.77diamonds.com/engagement-rings.htm (ANCHOR) “77 Diamonds”, you will discover several customization options for wedding bands, from the type of metal used, to the thickness of the rings, to the option of having diamonds set in the rings. These are details many people don’t anticipate when planning weddings, so this is worth looking into in advance.
Wedding Cake
Choosing the right wedding cake can also be a very tricky concept that takes a surprising amount of time. In fact, there are some current trends leading people to avoid the process altogether and go for (HYPERLINK) http://blog.weddingpaperdivas.com/top-alternative-wedding-desserts (ANCHOR) “alternative desserts” – such as selections of cupcakes or pies – instead. Wedding cakes are traditional as ornaments at receptions, but they are also cumbersome, expensive, and often not as delicious as they look. It is very important to take the time to look at several different cake options, and also to taste test your final choices, and consider alternative desserts. This may not seem important in advance, while you are getting your guest list and venues together – but no one wants to be stuck with a bad wedding cake when the big day arrives!
