Unexpected Difficulties with Wedding Invitations

I had a hard time choosing my wedding invitations. I suppose you could say I was a stereotypical picky bride about them, though I never got angry or chewed anyone out. I just wanted something simple, and I couldn’t find anything on the market that fit. I did have an ideal wedding invitation, and it was totally possible to make. The idea came from a close friend of mine. He said it should just be a blank white card, with the words “We’re Getting Married” alone on the front. Opening the card would reveal the simple words “You Should Come.” … Continue reading →

A Most Uncomfortable Wedding

We’re much happier at other people’s weddings My husband and I didn’t really enjoy our wedding. Everything went just the way it was supposed to and everyone had a good time. But the only way Jon and I might have felt comfortable during the proceedings would have been if we could have just signed a piece of paper in front of a justice of the peace. We experienced the usual wedding jitters beforehand, but that discomfort continued throughout the ceremony and into the photography session afterwards. Once we moved onto the reception our feelings calmed a bit, but still it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on by

You’re getting closer to knowing all the little things that are important in choosing a great wedding photographer. There are just a few more things I think are important, that I wanted to share. When you’re looking at a photographer’s portfolio, notice what they do in correcting and finishing their photos. Do they have a tendency to make everything softer, change the hue, or do something that you don’t necessarily want in your photos? In looking at my photographer’s work, I noticed that she took great photos in certain places—such as places with strong architectural backgrounds and simple surroundings. This … Continue reading →

Choosing a Great Wedding Photographer Part 2

I previously went over a few things you’ll want to keep in mind as you choose a wedding photographer, and this topic is so important that I thought it would be worth a little more attention. One of the more obvious things to check on when choosing a photographer is price. You should have an established budget for what you’re willing to pay for wedding photos. This obviously depends on what you want, but it could range from very little to the most expensive item you plan for. I’ve known people who have done both extremes and many somewhere in … Continue reading →

Planning a Wedding – More Things to Consider

Yesterday we looked at some things to consider when planning a wedding. Here are others. Venue Church, garden, beach or registry office- it’s really up to the bride and groom. After all, it’s their wedding. They are the two who have to be happy with it. It depends on the kind of wedding they want. We’ve been to weddings in church, at a lake where the bride and groom was ultra casual in shorts and swimmers, in a garden, and at the beach. If you’re having it outdoors, you’ll need a back up plan if it rains, so make sure … Continue reading →

A Unique and Memorable Wedding Gift

Some people come up with great ideas for weddings. This is one of them, which was planned and put together at least six months before the wedding by the mother of the bride.

Choosing a Wedding Date

What made you choose your wedding date? Did that date have special meaning for you or was it a case of what was available? Does the date matter? For us, it was a date already meaningful. It was a date I already had inscribed on one ring -the friendship ring Mick gave me. Exactly two years to the date and as close as we could get it to the hour and minute that Mick put my engraved friendship ring on my right hand, he was putting my wedding ring on the left ring finger of my left hand. It was … Continue reading →

In a previous article I discussed the task of choosing wedding invitations. Determining who and how many people you will invite to your wedding can be one of the most difficult tasks that you come across. Inviting guests can be a tricky thing to sort through.

The more guests that you have, the more food that you need at the reception. This can eat up a lot of your ceremony money. In … Continue reading →
