Tip 4

Special dates to think about for your wedding in '10:
Most obvious 10/10/10---it's a Sunday
8/9/10-----a Monday
9/10/10----a Friday
Guys usually like easy dates they can remember for future anniversary's. Also good is: the date you met or first went out on or the day he proposed!!! Make is memorable in every way

Tip 3

Another way to save at the wedding is to decide what things are most important to you and put your time and effort into those. What will be the things you want to remember most---your dress, the cake, the venue, the flowers, centerpieces? What will give you the most 'bang' for your buck? Do you have the time or help to pull off the details? One of our brides this last summer wanted her wedding to be 'shabby chic' and by using our resources we were able to give her unique, elegant, centerpieces she will always remember. Those were one of the things most important to her.

It's that time of year when the brides are looking forward to a beautiful summer wedding, meeting venue owners, photographers, florists, caterers, etc. It's an exciting time for all of us who get to help create the perfect wedding for you. We look forward to seeing you at the wedding fair on Jan. 9 & 10. To make your time there successful we suggest you wear good walking shoes, bring a notebook to take down ideas, a camera, a friend or family member to help you remember everything, printed address labels for all the drawings, and then plan to come the second day when you can narrow your search and return to those vendors you found most promising!! See you there!!!

Tip 2

I'm still getting the hang of this blogging thing. With so many emphasis on economizing I have read in a few places that the 2 best ways are to: first, cut the guest list down. If you haven't seen or heard from them in 3 - 5 years, how close can they be. Second, as much is spent in alcohol as many major items necessary in the wedding. Choose a spiked punch or a signature drink and limit the drinks to 3 per person. Those who would like more will be able to drink for those who don't drink at all.
