Wedding Theme Ideas for Your Big Day

Having a wedding theme at a wedding is something that some couples enjoy while others shake their heads at the idea. If you are someone who wants a theme with your wedding, you may be thinking about your options. There are many wedding theme ideas around but you need to find something that suits your personality. Opting for a Decade Theme If you are marrying in an old castle or stately home, a decade theme to match your venue may be your best option. This is a great reason behind your choice in wedding theme if anyone asks you. If you have a brass band for entertainment, you may decide that a 1940s theme is something that you want to opt for. There are a few considerations that you need to make when picking decade wedding theme ideas. First of all, you need to make sure that all parts of the wedding match your theme.

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Dress for You

Looking perfect on their wedding day is the aim for all brides and part of this is due to the wedding dress. Many brides will dream about their wedding dress designs from a young age and have something specific that they want for their big day. My dream dress was one that was very similar to upper-class 16 th century wear, which is exactly what I was able to get in the end. However, while searching for their dream dress, brides also need to find wedding dresses that suit their figure. Finding Wedding Dresses to Suit You In fact, your figure is the first thing that you should think about. You want to look good on your big day so finding something that will flatter your figure is important. When you shop around for your wedding dress, take your friends with you and ask them for their honest opinion. If you worry about them saying something you want to hear, ask the shop assistant; they will always give their honest opinion. It is also important that you feel comfortable...

Choosing Your Maid of Honor

It is your Maid of Honor’s job to make sure that you get to the church on time, you look your best and that your dress stays out of the mud. Choosing your Maid of Honor may be easy, especially if you have a sister who you are close to. However, if you don’t have a sister or don’t get on with her, you may find that you are stuck for choice. Someone Willing to Take On Responsibilities The first thing is to find someone who is willing to take on responsibilities. Your Maid of Honor will be in charge of your Hen Do, getting you to the church on time, signing the register and looking after you throughout the day to make sure everything goes to plan. This can be a lot for some people and is not something all your girlfriends will want to do. You also need to think about anything extra you may ask the Maid of Honor to do. While it is not tradition, asking her to say a speech is becoming more popular. You may also want someone to deal with the photographer, videographer or any...

Choosing the Best Man

Part of the choices that a man has to make on his wedding day is who the Best Man will be. For some people this is easy – a brother – but for others there are a number of factors to consider. It just requires some thinking and planning for who will help you get through probably the most nervous day of your life. Picking a Person Who Has Been There for You The first thing to think about is who has been there the most for you. Who has been there when you’ve been down? Who has helped you through breakups or problems with your wife-to-be? You may find that your brother is there on the list but you may also find that your best friend is instead. Choosing the Best Man should be about choosing a person that you can trust to help you get through the day and make it something worth remembering. Choose Someone Responsible The Best Man is often the person carrying the rings, unless you have a Ring Bearer. This means that the person needs to be responsible to make sure that th...
