The Bachelorette Party

Your special day is fast approaching and most of the designing plans are complete. Now it’s time for a party!!! Let’s talk about your bachelorette party. Now first of all do not confuse this with your bridal shower, that’s right according to my book they are two different things. Your shower is for all of your loved ones, usually the ladies, which include your aunts, mom, sisters, you get my meaning. Now your bachelorette party that’s when the ladies in your bridal party take you some place that you can relax, maybe have a couple of drinks, and just enjoy yourself. Some ideas that you might enjoy may be the hottest club in town, a nice restaurant, a spa, or maybe even a little overnight trip to the destination of your choice. Wherever you end up make sure you relax and enjoy!

The Bachelor Party

One of the wedding design plans that brides usually have no control over would be the planning of the bachelor party. This can be quite irritating to some brides out there. Now ladies, I get it. I really do. But let’s take a deep breath and try our best to relax. I want you to start thinking about that great guy who will soon become your husband. You said yes for a reason right? Start remembering them and decide to trust your man. Consider it the first test of your marriage even though you are technically not married yet. I promise trust will go a long way in the success of your relationship. Besides don’t forget that you get to have a bachelorette party! Trust works both ways, right!

Outdoor Ceremonies

Spring is here and summer will arrive before we know it. This means that some of you will be designing outdoor wedding ceremonies. Outdoor ceremonies can be quite beautiful if planned for appropriately. Since the weather is unpredictable at best, it will pay to have a back up plan ready and waiting just in case it rains, or if it just becomes too darn hot! If you are planning to have an outdoor ceremony, make sure the vendors you are working with have a contingency plan available and ready to be implemented. For example, if it rains will there be an indoor facility available, or will there be an enclosed tent large enough to keep all of your guests dry, etc. So if you’re designing an outdoor ceremony contact your vendor on the phone right now to find out what their back up plans are. I promise you’ll be glad you did!

Destination Weddings

Are you torn between deciding on a destination wedding or keeping it local? This can be a tough one for those of you with large families. The idea of a destination wedding is wonderful however there is a lot to consider before making the final decision. The biggest issue that may arise though is the cost to your guests. Is it proper or fair to expect them to pay for their travel, hotel, and other costs that will arise during their stay? I am sure that all of your family members will want to be there to share this day with you. Just something to think on before you set the schedule. At the end of the day the question that must be answered is this: How special will your day be if some of your loved ones may not be able to attend? If your answer is that it will be just as special then go ahead and plan! However it the answer runs in the opposite direction maybe keeping it local is the best answer.
