Picking Out the Flowers

After you have chosen your wedding colors you can start looking into flowers. There are so many different types of flowers to choose from you have to know where to start.

A good place to start is incorporating all your colors you have chosen into the flowers you choose. For example my wedding colors are red, black, ivory and silver, so my flowers should include these colors. It is up to you if you want to have more or less of certain colors. I decided that I wanted the majority of my flowers red and ivory. I ruled out the color pink for flowers because I feel with the color scheme we are after pink would clash. The next thing I did was start to research flowers.

There are many way to research flowers you can look online at different flower designs, you can look in magazines and books, or you can even drive to the flower store, just to get an idea of what you like. I did all three of theses activities. First I looked online and made a folder of all my favorite flower looks, making note of the flowers and accessories they had used to create different looks. I found out which flowers came in red and ivory and chose all of my favorite ones. Then I looked in a couple flower magazines and books to get some ideas. After I had an idea of what I liked I went to the flower store to see them in real form.

I have not made any final decisions on flowers yet, but I have a pretty good idea of what I like. I hope this information helps you when you are starting your flower planning adventure!

Choosing the Music

There are many different choices out there when it comes to music at a wedding. Some of the most popular options include; having a private band, hire a DJ or you burn all of your songs on to an i-pod and play the music yourself.

There are pros and cons to each of these choices. The pros about having a private band are that you get to enjoy your own live performances. Also if you have your own band they can play what ever song you want them to play whenever you want them to play it! The cons of having a live band include taking the time to choose which band you are going to hire and the high cost involved.

The pros of having a DJ are that you have someone to host the whole event. Also DJ’s are really good at picking good music and keeping the party going! The cons of having a DJ are again you have to take the time to choose the right DJ and also the cost involved, although they are less expensive then a private band.

Last but not least there is the option of doing all of the music yourself on an i-pod. The pros of this method are you save a lot of money! The cons are that it is a lot of work to do all of the music yourself. Also if you do all your music yourself you have known one to host the event.

Out of these options I think the best thing to do is hire a DJ and let them do all of the work! That way you do not have to stress out about doing it yourself and you are still saving a little money.

Factors of Finding the Perfect Gown

There are so many choices when it comes to bridal gowns! How do you even know where to start? When it comes to your wedding gown it is one of the most important decisions you will make for your big day!

The first thing to remember is that there are so many styles of gowns to choose from and if one style does not flatter your figure then there are always other styles that will! No matter what shape or size you are your perfect gown is out there waiting for you to find it!

The next thing to remember is to have your budget planned out before you start going wedding dress shopping. Once you know how much money you have to spend on your dress, you do not have to waste your time trying on dresses that you can not afford. Always stick to your budget when trying on dresses and then you will not have the problem of falling in love with a dress you have to leave at the store!

The color of the dress is another factor. When ever you are trying on dresses make sure to try on every color. I know that every girl dreams of a white wedding dress but you would be surprised by how good diamond white and ivory look on some people!

Good luck in finding the perfect dress! I hope this gets you off to a good start!
