Choosing a Wedding Venue

Location, location, location. The venue you choose might easily be the most memorable detail of your wedding, and something your guests will keep talking about long after your big day. Choosing the right venue is important, especially if you have traditions or specific requirements for your ceremony or reception. There are plenty of location options available to couples, such as hotels, gardens and more. But, by far the most common is a venue that caters specifically to wedding ceremonies and receptions. These venues are equipped with all the services necessary for your wedding, which makes it that much easier to plan. If you’ll be following religious traditions in your ceremony or your reception, you’ll also need a venue that can cater to these unique types of events. Many of these types of venues offer everything you’ll need, including reception services such as catering, a bar, and entertainment. They often also collaborate with nearby bakeries, wedding bands, and more; which means you can easily find local vendors that come by recommendation.

The Modern Bridesmaid

Bridesmaid DressesThe modern bridesmaid is no longer a fluffy cream puff of ruffles and lace, made to look identical to all the other maids. Brides today want their maids to have their own look, giving them the freedom to choose a cut, fabric, style, or color that best flatters them. Each bridesmaid is an individual, and when it comes to their attire, one size does not fit all. Giving some diversity to bridesmaid’s attire can liven up your wedding party, and introduce some personal flair. No matter what the wedding’s theme is, you can find a variety of options to help you steer clear of cookie cutter fashion.

It is common tradition that the bridesmaid’s purchase their own dresses. This is another reason why they should be given the freedom to choose one they like. A modern bride will be realistic about the cost of the dress, and allow for some creative input. This way, your girls are more likely to wear their Bridesmaid dresses again after your big day.

If you’re looking for a common thread among your maids to keep a kind of consistency, consider matching shoes, or a matching piece of jewelry for each one. In terms of flowers, often the bridesmaid’s bouquets are the same. This is a modern, and subtle way to match your maids, without creating quintuplets.

Creative Wedding Bands

Etsy is the best place to find unique items that really set themselves apart from the traditional, especially for rings. Supporting sellers that create handmade items is also a much better use of your money, forget those generic rings made in bulk by overpriced jewelers! You could begin your own tradition with these rings, and pass them down through your family. Here are some great finds for original wedding bands.
