Hire a Wedding Pastor

Hiring a pastor requires a number of additional considerations over hiring a secular officiant. Start the process as early as possible to ensure you hire the pastor who understands the unique approach you've developed for your wedding.

Organize a Wedding Planning Notebook
Keeping up with all the details of any size wedding can be difficult. Organize a customized wedding planning notebook for yourself, and avoid that frazzled and confused feeling. You may think you'll remember every little thing without a problem, but if there was ever a time to be obsessive about keeping track of details, this is it. A wedding planning notebook will give you peace of mind.

Arrange Fresh Flowers on a Wedding Cake
A wedding cake is the centerpiece of the wedding reception. Every couple wants their cake to be beautiful and taste delicious. Fresh flowers can be used to lavishly decorate a wedding cake. The flowers can match the bride's bouquet or reception colors; or it can have a one-color theme. A floral piece can be made to go between tiers or as a cake topper. Flowers can cascade down or be set in equally divided segments of the cake. A bottom tier can be surrounded with a ring of flowers and ivy, with individual petals scattered on the tablecloth. A small bouquet holder or nosegay can be made for the cake topper, with ribbons that cascade down the tiers. Does this Spark an idea?

Write a Wedding Proposal
You're ready to ask the person you love to be your love forever, and without a doubt you're overrun with a million emotions. There's excitement, a little relief, joy, and, of course, nervousness. Even if you're pretty sure she is going to say yes, you also know you're both going to remember this moment for the rest of your lives, so you need to make it memorable. A written wedding proposal can do just that, giving you and your future spouse a memento to keep for the rest of your life.

Make Wedding Garters
No wedding dress ensemble is complete without the traditional garter. Whether the groom is responsible for removing it as part of the reception festivities or not, a garter adds just the right touch of sexiness to the bride's on her big day.

A wedding garter can also be created from scratch to match the bride's dress and/or wedding colors, reflect a hobby the bride and groom share, or even say something about the honeymoon. Does this Spark an idea?
