Weddings are one of the most planned events in each entire existence. Most of the people’s strategy to have an ideal wedding is by preparing a year ahead. People tend to do a 1 year preparation in order to make the big day perfect and memorable not only for the groom and bride but as well as to the guests.

When preparing for your wedding ceremony, first thing to do is to select the location of your wedding. This should be first in mind so that when you choose for the wedding decorations, you can now visualize on how many you will be needing because you already have the place.

Choose your theme of your wedding! This also would help you in your preparation for the wedding designs, wedding outfits, wedding invitations, wedding favors and so on.

Know your budget! This is also important so that you will not end up overspending or worst, you will be short.

These days we’re all at our computers all the time, and the internet is where we reach for our information (you’re doing it right now!). It follows then that having a website dedicated to your big day is a good idea. Getting all the right information out to your guests can be a big job, and your invitations aren’t always the best place for some important things, such as your registry. Taking a few minutes now to create a wedding website that is a useful information source for your guests will save you time and headaches later.

Do You Really Need One?

Figuring out whether you really need a wedding website is as easy as looking at your guest list. If you have a large list comprised of people you know are avid computer users (they use them at work and for entertainment purposes, such as surfing Facebook), or you have a large number of out-of-town guests, a wedding website is not only a good idea, it’s practically essential. If you are having a very small wedding (30 people or less), you likely don’t need one, but they’re fun and a great way for your guests to interact with you regardless of the size of your wedding.

The Costs

There are tons of free wedding website services, but there are lots of paid services, too. The paid services range from $40 to $80, but if you’re looking for a custom design it could range in the thousands depending on what you’re looking for. Unpaid or low-cost services allow you to pick from a variety of templates and customize them as needed, so your wedding website won’t look like a cookie-cutter version of everyone else’s. With some services you can even get your own URL.

Setting It Up

Assuming that you’re selecting from a low-cost or unpaid service, all you need to do is sign up, collect the information and photos you want on your wedding website and you’re all set to start.

What Should Be There

It’s up to you how much or how little information you put on your wedding website, but here’s a few things that are often found there:

• The Bride and Groom’s names (obviously!)
• Your wedding date
• Your wedding details (time, location of ceremony, location of reception if different)
• Directions to your church / ceremony location / reception location
• Your parents names
• Your wedding party
• Your engagement story (and a photo, too! Who doesn’t like to look at the happy couple?!)
• Your wedding dress code
• Your registry information
• Anything else you think is essential for your guests to know

Using Facebook for Your Wedding Website

The other option available to Brides and Grooms today is Facebook. With the creation of Timeline, Facebook has become a unique and powerful way to create a no-fuss, no-muss wedding website. Create a page for an “Artist, Band or Public Figure” and select “Business Person” or “Public Figure” from the list. Add a beautiful cover photo of you and your beloved and you’re on your way. Use the backdating and milestone features in Timeline to add things like your first date, your first kiss, the date of your engagement and any other fun details you’d like to share with your guests. This wedding website option also allows you to interact with your guests in a special way. With “likes”, “shares”, poll options and photo sharing, your guests can truly participate in every aspect of your day as you plan.

One of the hottest news in Hollywood is about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s wedding!

After a very long wait, they finally decided to face each other in the altar.

Everyone in the Wedding Planning Industry has something to say.

Kevin Lee–a wedding planner for Hollywood’s biggest stars–talks about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s upcoming wedding day. He reveals that he also anticipated to be the wedding planner for Brangelina’s wedding!

Everyone is waiting for their special day!

For those who are planning for their wedding and hiring wedding planners to organize your most special day, here are 10 tips (I got from an article) on how to find the best wedding planner!

Talk Budget

For most couples, budget is a big consideration when they are choosing venues, vendors and other wedding details. Budget also plays a role in the number of guests and the time of day a wedding will take place. Couples should talk about their budget the first time they meet with their wedding planner and make sure that the planner understands budget constraints as well as which aspects of the wedding the bride and groom want the most money to be spent on. A wedding planner should be honest with the couple about what they can expect to get for the amount of money in their budget.

Make Sure They Share Your Vision

Couples should choose a wedding planner that allows them to make most of the choices about their wedding a doesn’t interject their own opinions without being asked. Wedding planners are usually passionate about weddings and may forget that the wedding they are planning is not their own and the wedding should be planned around the wants and needs of the bride and groom, rather than the latest fads from Hollywood or the design that the wedding planner would like to create.

Pay Attention to Organization

It is essential that a wedding planner is efficient and organized so they have no trouble keeping track of the details of the wedding. Couples hire a wedding planner to help them keep things organized and meet deadlines so that everything comes together in the end. A wedding planner that is disorganized usually becomes more of a hassle than a help during the process of planning the wedding.

Make Sure They are Easy to Contact

It doesn’t do any good to hire the best wedding planner in the world if you are unable to contact them about details of your wedding or get in touch with them if an emergency arises. If you have to leave a message for the wedding planner and wait more than 24 hours for them to return your call or if they cancel meetings you had set up with vendors they are probably not reliable enough to be a good wedding planner.

Ask Others

If you know anyone who has used a wedding planner it is a good idea to ask them why they chose the planner they did and if they were happy with the results. Most couples are happy to share their experiences.

Talk About Pay Upfront

Wedding planners and the couples they work for should come to an agreement about how the planner will be paid before they perform any work. Some planners charge a flat fee for their services throughout the wedding planning process, while others charge couples a percentage of the total wedding budget. Couples may be wary of overpaying for wedding planning services, but a good wedding planner can actually help the couple save more than they are spending.

Research

It is a good idea to research the general services and rates offered by wedding planners in the area of the country you would like to get married. It is not essential that the wedding planner be located in the same city as your wedding venue, but a drive of more than an hour can be very inconvenient. The venue where you plan to hold the wedding or reception probably has a list of wedding planners they have worked with in the past. This list is an excellent place to start researching wedding planners.

Note Concerns

Before you meet with a wedding planner it is a good idea to make notes about your biggest concerns when it comes to your wedding. Number of guests, budget constraints and time constraints are often top concerns for brides and grooms.

Outline

Making an outline of what you expect as far as the wedding planning timeline and order of events at the wedding is very helpful for a wedding planner. A good wedding planner should tell you immediately if they feel your timeline will not work and help you create a more realistic one. A planner that doesn’t appreciate you making a timeline and outlining the sequence of events at your wedding is probably not the best wedding planner for you.

Check Their Website

Some wedding planners are versatile, while others have a specific wedding planning style. A wedding planner whose style is very different from the style you want for your wedding is probably not the best choice.

“Making everything work with a theme when Planning a wedding”

To make your wedding planning simple and organize, you should always plan first your wedding theme then everything else will follow from the decoration to wedding invitations down to wedding favors.

It is easier to plan for your wedding when you already have a guide. Your wedding theme will be your guide when you prepare for your gown, decoration,  the place, and everything that is necessary.

Of course the second to consider is your budget. You should know your budget for your wedding! Isn’t that already a common sense?

The number of the guests that will be attending your special event is also important. Take note how many guests you will be inviting because its important when you select the venue of the reception and also the wedding hall if you are not planning to celebrate it in the church.

When planning a wedding, there are a lot that needs to be done but there are 10 things that can actually not need to be done. I read wedding blogs and articles and this one article shares the 10 things that you don’t need to do when you are preparing for your wedding. It grabs my attention because, I, personally have done these in my wedding preparation before and then I realized that I can actually exclude doing it.

I would like to share this article to those who are now planning for their wedding.

Number 1: A Wedding Luncheon

Feeding your wedding guests can be one of your biggest expenses. Having a luncheon can be a very fun tradition but it is not a must in order to have a memorable wedding experience. If you are low on funds and still want to have a luncheon I recommend keeping it to your very closest friends and family.

Number 2: A Limo

Everyone feels good when they step out of a limo. The reason I am telling you that a limo is not necessary is because you can feel just as good stepping out of a nice sports car. Chances are you know someone with a fantastic car that would be willing to let you borrow it for the night.

Number 3: A Real Wedding Cake

What! Why would you not have a real wedding cake? It is much cheaper to have a fake or styrafoam cake. 

Number 4: A Professional Photographer

Photographers are amazing and I think highly of professionals. 

Number 5: Dozens of Flowers

Flowers are great but the only flowers that are a must are in the bouquet. Flowers are a great plus if you have the money.

Number 6: A Wedding DJ or Band

Having a wedding band can add some class to a wedding reception but can be pricey. Make a playlist on your ipod. Most wedding venues have a place to plug it in to their system.

Number 7: A 3 Course Meal

Everyone loves expensive food but it isn’t necessary for you to feed them this meal. One disadvantage of serving a huge meal at a wedding is that it takes so much time. People are busy and have kids. A few hours seems to be the sweet spot at any reception. Serve desserts as a good alternative.

Number 8: Bird Seeds!

Nobody wants to be dressed nicer than ever and get nailed with pounds of bird seed. Sparklers are a fun and modern alternative.

Number 9: A Tuxedo

Yes, Tuxedos are classy but suits are getting nicer as time goes on. If you decide to wear a nice suit make sure you have a boutonniere in your jacket breast. It will make you look classy.

Number 10: Bridesmaids and Groomsman

Does is seem funny to you that it is tradition to pay a fortune to dress these people and all they do is stand in line. Why not have one maid of honor and one best man? You can call the rest of these people friends and they can dress themselves.

Wedding planning checklist is really important for the brides who are planning for their wedding. It is very important because it keeps a record of all the important task in an ordered list so that you will not skip not a single one task. By taking a glance at your wedding planning checklist you can understand what tasks need to be completed and in what time. Generally the brides and their families keep track of all their wedding activities in a traditional style by writing in a copy in own hand. However, creating a checklist by the professional designer can be a better way and it could meet with all your needs to have a smooth planning of what to do.

By maintaining the tasks list of a checklist you can complete your tasks according to a time frame. Designing down a checklist is not also difficult. Today, there are so many free online wedding planning sites, accessing these sites can lead you to get a well created wedding planner checklist. Sometimes, these websites offer free replica of wedding checklists.

“To Hire or Not to Hire… a wedding planner?” — It’s the most common question among couples who plan to get married. We all know that hiring a wedding planner is quite costly but it has a great advantage on the couple’s part to help them in their wedding planning. Wedding planner can lessen their burden for it will take care of every single details of your wedding. Wedding planner can be used whether you will be holding a small or big celebration. Brides, who are holding a small, intimate wedding reception, end up not hiring a wedding planner, considering they would hardly require an outside assistance. This is where they make a grave mistake: wedding planning does not depend upon a ‘little or large’ wedding reception.

It’s a fact that the scale of the wedding gets limited but the details are the same: you will still need vendors to set up the reception, caterers, lightning, etc.; this is where your wedding planner can help you connect with the right vendors that can provide you an estimation based on the magnitude of your wedding.

So think about it, it may be small or a big celebration, wedding planner is useful if you want a perfect wedding!

Wedding Planning can be very tiresome and complicated. Every details is important when planning for your big event. From wedding venue to reception venue and even down to wedding invitations and other small things.

Here are the tips that I got from a blog that would help your wedding preparations.

From Kathy in New York

1. Focus on the three things that are most important for you to splurge on. For me, it was the flowers, DJ/music, and the bar.
2. Be yourself! Don’t try to do something different just because it’s your wedding! For example, I got an acrylic French manicure because I thought it would be more “wedding like.” What I really wanted to do was keep my short nails and paint them red. Looking back, it was my only regret.
3. Hire a wedding planner day of. You don’t  need the additional stress. Have someone that will take care of everything, including your worries!

From Audrey in New York

1. Delegate everything that isn’t on your “most important list.” Most people are honored to help the bride. Say you have a friend who is an expert on flowers, if the person is willing they could manage getting the bouquet for you. I had 100 days to plan a black tie wedding for 200+ people in another city. Everyone I delegated something to reported back to me so I could make a final decision. It’s a win-win. They knew me and my taste and they were experts in the area that was delegated to them. It was a huge relief for me.
