Wedding are special! Two becoming as one is very special! No doubt, it will be a day to remember! Enjoy it! Weddings are just as unique as the people are that make up the marriage. It may range from large to small, expensive or inexpensive, formal or casual. However, decisions have to be made. Following are some tips and tricks others have found valuable to make those decisions easier:

When you are planning to tie the knot, pick your bridesmaids in advance. This will help you to take away a lot of the pressure that you will face when you are getting married. Make sure that your picks are very personal to you and are key people in your life.

A great way to save money on catering is to have children's meals prepared for anyone under 10. Your caterer will give you a reduced rate on those meals as they're typically smaller and simpler than their adult counterparts, and that can give you substantial savings if you're having many kids at your reception.

Try to keep the length of your ceremony to a minimum. Nobody actually enjoys the ceremony itself, so if the preacher starts to ramble on for too long, it is better to talk to him about it during the rehearsal. Leave more time for the reception, so you can enjoy time with loved ones.

When picking a DJ for your wedding, make sure you choose someone with a great reputation. A bad DJ can ruin your reception, so ask any candidates for their references along with their fees. If a candidate has no references, mark him off the list immediately! If his references are all family, that's another reason to give him the boot.

You are going to be having photos taken of you while you are getting ready for your wedding. Be sure to wear something that is pretty and is going to look nice in the photos. These pictures are going to be put in an album that you can reminisce through for the rest of your life.

Consider using fake flowers for your wedding. This saves a lot of money and most people will not be able to tell that they aren't real. If you are crafty, you can put together the arrangement yourself in advance of your big day. You can also spray a floral scent on the bouquet if you want the flowers to smell fresh.

One of the things that you can do to save a lot of money on your wedding is to get a private room at a restaurant. This can be much cheaper than a hotel ballroom and can also elevate the level of intimacy. This alternative for reception locations can improve your wedding and appeal to your budget.

Try to use a limousine driver that you know and trust so that you do not have to get worried on the day of your wedding. Make sure that he shows up in advance and pay him the extra hour to sit and wait for you. This will ensure that you arrive on time.

Don't make your guests wait while you take all of your photos. Photos of the bride and her party and the groom and his groomsmen should be taken ahead of time. Pictures with the bride or groom and their respective parents can also be taken ahead of time, reducing the amount of time guests have to wait for your arrival at the reception.

Hopefully, the above tips and tricks have helped you with some decisions to be made regarding your wedding! No doubt, getting married is a special occasion! A day you will not forget! It may be large or small, expensive or inexpensive, formal or casual - regardless it will be special, because it is your day! Congratulations!
