Ideas For Writing Your Own Wedding Vows

By Carla Rossouw


Planning a wedding is intimidating, fraught with stress and utterly bewildering. You might feel you need some serious guidance about how to start, and this piece contains lots of help.

Invest time in writing vows that will be truly meaningful to your intended spouse. Understand that marriage is a very strong commitment that requires the both of you to make sacrifices. Express your unconditional love for your future spouse in your vows.

Put your schedule of events online, so that all guests can access it at any time. You can customize itineraries or send special alerts to let each person know which events they are expected to attend.

You can embellish your bouquet with tiny crystals, rhinestones or perhaps diamonds if you can afford to. You can create this look by using adhesive to affix crystals, a beloved heirloom or costume jewelry to the bouquet. To ensure that it coordinates with the rest of your ensemble, be consistent in terms of sparkling colors, cut, and size of the stones.

Be sure you place an an even numer of guests at each table at your reception. If you put people of the same age together at tables they will have more to talk about.

If children will be playing a role in your wedding, you should dress them comfortably. Make sure all their clothes are not scratchy or binding. It's important that any shoes they wear are comfortable, which means new shoes, will need to be broken in. With an entire ensemble of comfortable clothes, the children can put their energy into their designated roles and leave the outfits alone.

Make sure your caterer knows you desire an outdoor wedding reception. Some foods will not keep well in the heat or might be too light to stay in dishes if the wind is blowing strongly. You might want to use fancy covers to protect your food. You may want to have a refrigerator or some coolers on site to keep the drinks cold.

Since there is a lot of stress associated with the wedding day, set the time of your wedding ceremony later in the day. This will give you time to get everything you need done without having to wake up at 4 in the morning and looking exhausted. Take some time in the morning to pamper yourself, like getting a manicure and pedicure.

Take the time to carefully consider the most important aspect of the wedding, your future spouse. There is not need to hurry this important choice. Think about this person and what things will drive you crazy, along with what you can't live without.

You can rent jewelery and diamonds if you wish to look at your best but cannot afford to. This gives you that dazzling look you are seeking for a fraction of the cost, which allows you to stay well within your budget.

If a wedding cake with a high price tag or high calorie count doesn't appeal to you, check around at local bakeries for beautiful individual portions. Many bakeries offer beautiful cupcakes with a variety of healthy fillings.

Don't go overboard on decorating tables with flowers. Often, flowers just get in your guests' way. In addition, some guests could be allergic to flowers. You might consider placing non-scented candles in the middle of the table for an understated, romantic look.

If you are including a wedding speech, make sure you write it out and practice before the wedding. If you do not plan your speech, you may cause the audience to stop paying attention, or you just might get stage fright.

If you do not plan to serve your guests dinner at the reception site, consider foregoing multiple tables in favor of rented furniture. Lounge chairs, sectional sofas and loveseats can be arranged into groupings that encourage your guests to intermingle. Also, seating that is plush can make your guests feel more at ease and comfortable, and you can create separate areas for socializing in your location.

Making arrangements for a wedding is sometimes complicated, but if you use the tips provided, you should be able to have the wedding of your dreams. The tips in this article will begin you on your way to a low stress wedding planning process, taking the nightmare out of what should be the best time of your life.
