When it comes to weddings, the altar flower arrangement is one of the key decorations. The flower colors and overall display can add beauty and provide an elegant centerpiece for the ceremony. Since many weddings are already expensive enough, many people wish to save money by creating their own altar flower arrangement. Following seven steps should help most people create a large and attractive arrangement without spending a fortune in the process.
Fill Out Wedding Reply Card Envelopes
When sending out wedding invitations, it is a good idea to include reply cards or RSVP cards inside of already addressed and stamped envelopes. Knowing exactly how many people are to attend your wedding reception is crucial in wedding planning. The caterers must know how many heads to prepare for, and the vendors must know how many tables and seats to set up. Self addressed reply cards ensure that you have made it as easy as possible for your guests to reply with their acceptance or regrets.
Ask for Money As Wedding Shower Gifts
According to etiquette rules, directly asking for any type of gift for a shower is inappropriate. Registries do make things easier for couples because their loved ones can casually mention where the couple is registered. However, many couples prefer money to other types of gifts. Thankfully, sharing this preference with guests is one of the easiest parts of wedding or shower planning.
Decorate for a Garden Wedding
Exchanging vows in a peaceful garden, surrounded by natural beauty is what many couples dream of. Decorating for a garden wedding can be a pleasant undertaking, with plenty of room for creativity. While much of the decoration has already been done for you by nature, with a few finishing touches to complement the setting, a little mood lighting for evening and some well-placed floral accents, your garden wedding will be an event to remember.
Get Ordained to Perform Weddings
Some couples prefer to have a close friend or family friend administer their wedding vows. You may also want to get ordained so you can perform weddings as a side or primary business. There is no need to undergo extensive or high-cost religious training to get your ordination papers. A few phone calls and an Internet connection will help you achieve your goal.
