You can save money by choosing an off season wedding date. The wedding season is traditionally from May through September. When this is going on, it will cost more to have a wedding. Should you have to book during the season, do so well in advance to garner your best deal.

Add special little decorative touches to all of the element in your wedding. For example, the bow in your hair can be the same as those used in the floral arrangements on the tables. This will help with the elegance at your wedding.

Keep transportation in mind when planning your wedding. For people who need a ride back to their hotels at night, arrange to have taxis and limos ready for them. Also, this is beneficial for people who have consumed alcohol during the wedding.

You need to tell your DJ what you do want to be played, but also make sure he or she understands what not to play. It could be a special song representing “old love”, a heavy metal song, or a country song. Make sure to tell your husband-to-be what type of music won’t be played.

Your reception location should have a dance floor or room for dancing. There is nothing worse than being crammed like sardines while the people around you are trying to do the Mashed Potato, so move some tables and chairs to make the extra room you need to get your groove on!

It is nice to include these extras but it is also stressful and can take away from your special day. Choosing to follow the advice in this article can ensure that your wedding is a pleasing success for everyone who attends.
