Wedding Guide and Directory
Weddings |
There are many things to consider when planning your big day, but the
first few include your budget, time frame, and who will be paying for the
wedding. It used to be traditional for the parents of the bride to
foot most or all of the bill, but with today's couples marrying later on
average, many brides and grooms pay for it themselves, with or without
the help of their parents and close relatives. Long engagements
have the benefit of allowing for more planning time and a wider variety
of available vendors to choose from, but brides and grooms who are more
flexible on details can plan a successful event even on the shortest of
time lines.
Weddings have traditionally taken place in a church, a courthouse, or at home, but today some brides and grooms are planning destination weddings to exotic locations for close family and friends. Non-traditional brides and grooms may also choose to have their ceremony take place in a unique locale such as a museum, barn, art gallery, or botanical garden, and it is not unusual to see the bride wearing a gown with color accents or a casual knee-length number. Floral arrangements can be tailored to any style or color scheme and have even been known to include unusual elements such as lemons or asparagus!
While there are a seemingly endless number of details to consider when planning a wedding, the good news is that there are also seemingly endless possibilities, making it easy to personalize your wedding in a way that fits both your style and budget.
