Basic Wedding Tips

Here are some very basic common sense ideas to ensure that your Wedding day goes well and is enjoyed to the fullest by you and all of your guests. Hire professionals who specialize in Weddings and let them help you. Part of the fee you are paying them, is for their advise and ideas, so consider what they suggest. They have been involved in more Weddings then you have, so take advantage of their experience. Only hire someone that you like and trust. Go with your feelings after meeting with them. Be sure that you are meeting with the professional who will be working at your Wedding. If you meet with a company that will be taking care of sending someone else to work at your Wedding, be sure that you meet with that person prior to the day, just to confirm with them what you expect from them, and to be sure they are a good match for you. DO NOT ask friends or family to work at your Wedding, taking care of shooting photos, video, being your DJ, or coordinator. It is not a good idea to hire friends for several reasons, but most importantly of all, is that they will need to work instead of being able to enjoy your Wedding as your guest. If they don’t work hard, and instead just relax and enjoy the day, (which is probably what you want them to do anyway) you will be very disappointed with the quality of their services at the end of your special day. Many friendships are lost after bad feelings about a day which should be your happiest ever, and you can't do it again. Wedding professionals make it look easy, but they are working very hard to make the day run smoothly and for you and your guests, and for you to have many priceless memories and keepsakes afterwards. Until next week...

Happy Easter Weddings!

CONGRATULATIONS,
to all the
Brides and Grooms
getting married at
this Holy time.

It's almost Good Friday

and Easter weekend!

We, here at The Wedding Guide,

want to wish you and all of

your family a wonderful

Easter however you

choose to celebrate.

We will be having fun

being together with

our family and

that is our favorite

way to spend

any Holiday!

Here are some Fun Wedding Facts for you...

ALL BRIDES STAND TO THE LEFT!
There used to be a good reason for the bride to stand at
the altar at the left hand of the groom and on the way out
of the church, to be on his left arm. It was not just a
meaningless matter of etiquette. It enabled the groom to
keep his right (and sword) hand free to defend his bride
and himself from attack and capture by jealous rivals.

BRIDAL PHOTOS: The first photograph of a bride was made
in 1854 by a pair of ‘daguerreotypists’ named
Southworth & Hawes.
Have you selected your Daguerreotypist yet?

THE TOAST: In days of yore, a piece of toasted bread was
placed in the bottom of a wine goblet which was then passed
to every guest. The last to receive it was the honored lady.
She ate the wine soaked toast and received everyone’s
compliments. The custom of sharing a drink then became known
as a toast. The traditional toast to the newlyweds is
“Health, Wealth and Happiness.”

Have a wonderful Easter!

Until next week...
