While most weddings take place in a church, there is no one way to decorate a church for a wedding. The way the church is decorated will depend on the rules of the church, the personal tastes of the couple and the budget you have for the wedding.
Set Up a Wedding Reception
Setting up a wedding reception may seem like an overwhelming task, as there are many components to arrange. From table set-up to testing all sound equipment, a lot of work goes in to setting up for a reception prior to the guests' arrival. While daunting at first, setting up a wedding reception is actually very simple. By preparing all tables in advance, you will make it easy for catering companies and bakers to deliver all of the food. Using the bride and groom's seating chart, you can quickly and efficiently put together a room for a wedding reception.
Thaw the Top Layer of a Wedding Cake
The wedding is finally over. The guests have all gone home and the gifts have all been opened. After the reception there is just one wedding tradition to fulfill before the honeymoon: properly freeze the top layer of your wedding cake. Tradition dictates that this tasty tidbit be kept frozen for exactly one year, until your first anniversary, at which point you and your not-so-newlywed spouse can enjoy it while wondering where the time went.
Plan an Elegant Wedding
Wedding coordinators and advice columnists often suggest that engaged couples choose a theme in the earliest stages of planning their special day. A theme need not be over the top but ensures continuity from your engagement announcement through your reception departure. Elegance, as a wedding theme, suggests a refined event replete with class and sophistication. Follow these steps to plan an elegant wedding.
Decorate a Wedding Cake with Fresh Flowers
The cake is often the centerpiece of a wedding reception. Whether the wedding cake is small or large, its design leaves an impression on guests. Unfortunately, wedding cakes can be expensive. It's time-consuming for wedding cake designers to create intricate details, and the labor involved in making edible floral decorations can result in a cake that costs more than the bride's dress. One way to save money on a wedding cake is to decorate it with fresh flowers. Another plus is the fresh flowers can match the bridal party flowers. Does this Spark an idea?
