Wedding Tip Wednesday - ​​​​​​​​​Your wedding tablescape is an important part of your big day, as it sets the tone for your entire reception. A beautifully designed tablescape can make your guests feel welcome and comfortable, and can even enhance the overall look and feel of your wedding venue. Here are three tips to help you elevate your wedding tablescape:​​​​​​​​​
Incorporate Natural Elements: Adding natural elements like flowers, foliage, and other greenery can bring life and vibrancy to your tablescape. You can choose to use a variety of flowers and foliage types to create a layered and textured look, or opt for a simple arrangement of one or two main flowers. Consider incorporating natural wood elements like a wooden table runner or place cards made from wood slices to add warmth to your tablescape.

Play with Colors: Your wedding tablescape should be an extension of your wedding theme and color scheme. You can choose to go bold and bright with your colors, or opt for a more muted and romantic palette. Consider mixing and matching different shades of the same color for a cohesive look, or play with contrasting colors for a more dynamic effect.

Pay Attention to Details: Don't overlook the small details when designing your tablescape. Little touches like personalized place cards, unique napkin rings, or hand-written menus can add a special touch to your tablescape. Consider incorporating details that are meaningful to you and your partner, such as incorporating family heirlooms or favorite quotes.

Wedding Tip Wednesday...... ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A bouquet toss is a fun and traditional part of many weddings. Although we are seeing it less and less It can still be a great way to get all of your single friends and family members involved in the festivities. Here are three tips to make sure your bouquet toss is a success:

1. Plan ahead: If you're going to have a bouquet toss, make sure to plan it out ahead of time. Choose a location for the toss that is easily visible to all of your guests. You may also want to decide on the music you will use to signal the start of the toss. Make sure to communicate the plan to your DJ or band so they can be ready.

2. Choose the right bouquet: The bouquet you choose for the toss should be separate from your bridal bouquet. It should also be easy to handle and light enough to toss without causing injury. You may also want to consider adding a special charm or trinket to the bouquet to make it more meaningful.

3. Make it fun: The bouquet toss is meant to be a fun and lighthearted moment. Encourage all of your single friends and family members to participate and have a good time. You can even offer a prize to the person who catches the bouquet, such as a gift card or a small bouquet of their own.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your bouquet toss is a fun and memorable part of your wedding day.

Consider the number of guests: The size of your wedding cake will depend on the number of guests you have. Make sure to let your baker know how many guests you are expecting so they can create a cake that will accommodate everyone.

Choose your flavors: Wedding cakes come in a variety of flavors, from classic vanilla to unique flavors like lavender and honey. Consider your personal preferences and those of your guests when choosing flavors.

Wedding Tip Wednesday!!!!​​​​​​​​​5 tips to create a wedding budget​​​​​​​​​
Creating a wedding budget can be a daunting task, but it's an essential step to ensure that your special day doesn't turn into a financial disaster. Here are five tips to help you create a wedding budget:

1. Determine your priorities: Before you start budgeting, sit down with your partner and discuss your priorities for the wedding. Do you want to splurge on a fancy venue, or would you rather allocate more funds to food and drinks? Once you've determined your priorities, you can allocate your budget accordingly.

2. Break down your expenses: Create a detailed list of everything you'll need for your wedding, from the venue and catering to the dress and flowers. Once you've listed all the essentials, research the average cost of each item in your area. This will give you a better idea of how much you'll need to budget for each expense.

3. Be realistic: It's important to be realistic about what you can afford. Don't overextend yourself financially for one day. Remember that your wedding is just the beginning of your life together, and you don't want to start off in debt.

4. Don't forget about hidden costs: When budgeting for your wedding, don't forget about the hidden costs. These can include taxes, gratuities, and other fees that are often added onto your bill.

5. Keep track of your spending: Once you've created your budget, it's important to keep track of your spending. Use a spreadsheet or budgeting app to record all your expenses and make adjustments as necessary. This will help you stay on track and avoid overspending.

Wednesday Wedding Tip: Who to invite to your rehearsal dinner. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The wedding rehearsal dinner is an important event that gives the couple and their families the opportunity to relax and enjoy each other's company before the big day. Typically, the rehearsal dinner is held the night before the wedding and includes the wedding party, immediate family members, and out-of-town guests.

The guest list for the rehearsal dinner should include the bride and groom, their parents, the wedding party, the officiant, and any siblings or close family members who are not in the wedding party. It is also a good idea to invite out-of-town guests who have traveled a long way to attend the wedding.
The rehearsal dinner is a more intimate event than the wedding itself, so it is important to keep the guest list relatively small. However, if the couple wants to include more people, they can consider inviting close friends and other family members.

Ultimately, the guest list for the rehearsal dinner will depend on the couple's preferences and the size of the wedding. The most important thing is to make sure that everyone who is invited feels welcomed and appreciated.

Wednesday Wedding tip: Table Assignments ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Assigning seating at your wedding can be a great idea for many reasons. Here are five of them:

Efficient use of space: Assigning seating ensures that all of your guests are seated comfortably and that the available space is used efficiently. This can help to avoid overcrowding and make your event feel more organized.

Ensure guests are seated with those they know: By assigning seating, you can ensure that guests are seated with people they know and feel comfortable with. This can help to create a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

Avoid awkward situations: With assigned seating, you can help to avoid awkward situations between guests who may not get along or who have a history of conflict. This can help to ensure that your wedding is a positive and stress-free experience for everyone in attendance.

Make sure everyone has a seat: By assigning seating, you can ensure that everyone in attendance has a place to sit. This is especially important if you have a large guest list or if your venue has limited seating options.

Personal touch: Assigning seating can be a great way to add a personal touch to your wedding. You can create unique place cards or seating charts that reflect your personality or wedding theme, which can make your event feel more special and memorable for your guests.

Wedding Tip Wednesday: Get your skin ready for the big day!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you want to look and feel your absolute best. One of the most important aspects of your appearance is your skin. Here are five tips to help you achieve great skin on your wedding day:

Start early: Don't wait until the week before your wedding to start taking care of your skin. Start months in advance, if possible. This will give you ample time to address any skin concerns and see results.

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential for healthy skin. It helps to flush out toxins and keeps your skin looking bright and refreshed.

Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can wreak havoc on your skin, causing dark circles, puffiness, and dullness. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night to ensure that your skin looks its best.

Stick to a skincare routine: Consistency is key when it comes to skincare. Develop a daily skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Don't forget to exfoliate and use a face mask once a week.

Protect your skin: Sun damage can cause premature aging and skin cancer. Protect your skin by wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days.
