Choosing the Right Wedding Planner

The wedding day will definitely be one of the most important events in the life of two people who love each other and vow to share the rest of their lives together.

This will definitely mark the start of their lifetime together. As such, it has to be perfect.

The couple must come up with ways to know the things and details that will satisfy their hearts and desire. They must know what kind of celebration and program will make them happy and thereby give them a perfect day.

Determining the desires of the heart is relatively easier. One can easily choose a theme, think of their favorite colors and even pick out their favorite flowers.

However, it is an entirely different matter to put all these ideas into action and coordinate them well to come up with a perfect celebration.

Sometimes, the challenges and requirements of considering these points can be very demanding and tiring.

The bride and the groom cannot attend to all these details on their own, considering the other things they have to attend to. It is not even a good picture to see the couple working and managing details on the day of their wedding.

This is where the wedding planner comes in.

The Wedding Planner

There are many movies that showcased a wedding planner at work. The planner takes care of managing all the aspects of the wedding, from the ordinary jobs down to the most elaborate detail of the celebration.

It is no easy task to shoulder the aches and pains of executing the whole plan. He or she will take on all the legwork needed as you go on with your usual lifestyle and focus on the more personal matters.

The wedding planner will definitely be one of your precious companions to put into action the wedding of your dreams. This is why you have to know the right way of choosing a wedding planner who will put into reality the wedding of your dreams.

How to Choose for the Right Wedding Planner?

Most couples will find themselves clueless as they venture on planning their wedding. This is not surprising, since a wedding is not something that people do on the ordinary basis.

It is indeed important to take the following considerations in choosing your ideal wedding planner.

1. Seeking the Planner

Hiring a wedding planner is just like hiring a professional for his or her services.

You will find lots of advertisements regarding wedding planners but it is best to ask your friends and relatives who have hired wedding planners themselves for referrals. Ask them for recommendations.

If you cannot get some good recommendations, you can check the classified ads or even online for a good offer from the wedding planners. Choose those whom you think are potential candidates for your consideration.

2. Interview Potential Planners

The next thing to do is to interview your chosen candidates.

You need to get a feel of what it will be like to deal with the person considering that you will spend a lot of time discussing with this person.

This will be your opportunity to see if you will get along with the person and if you can have confidence in the person who offers his or her services to you.

3. Give Out Your Ideas

It is good to know also how the wedding planner sees the vision you have in your mind for your wedding. See how he or she will be able to illustrate and concretize to you the plans and details that you are trying to point out.

Determine through this process if the person is capable enough to do the duty. Compare the different ways the candidates will answer and choose one that you feel most comfortable with.

4. Consult Your Budget

It is also good to give out your proposed budget and see if the planner is willing and capable to work out on it.

This is also a good opportunity for you to negotiate on the fees. Wedding planners generally charge 10 percent of the total wedding costs for their fee.

Conclusion

You should seriously consider the task of finding the right wedding planner. This may be your only option to put your dream wedding into reality.

Wedding Music: How hard can it be to choose a song for your first dance?(Wedding Program Ideas)

2009-01-05T21:26:00.000-08:00

There was a time when couples had 'their song' and the decision of which track to use for the first dance at a wedding was a simple one. However, in the new millennium, this choice is not as easy as you might think for some couples. Whether this is due to a glut in good quality modern love songs and ballads is debatable, but with the growing popularity of hip hop, dance and house music, the likelihood of the newly-weddings favourite song being at the right tempo and having appropriate lyrics, becomes more remote.

A quick search of U-tube will show you that this doesn't pose a problem for everybody, with plenty of comedy clips of elaborate 'first dances' to tracks like 'I Like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie'. However, such a theatrical approach is not to everyone's taste and a return to the more traditional ballads of the twentieth century are still very common. Indeed, out of the top ten songs rated by users of occasionsongs.com, a website specialising in wedding song suggestions, only one was written within the last ten years.

It may seem obvious, but having selected a track, a quick check of the lyrics and some research into the premiss of the song is well worth doing. For example, at first listen, Lou Reeds 'Perfect Day' might be regarded as particularly suitable, with a great tune, tempo and seemingly appropriate lyrics. However, if you dig a little deeper, you will find that many people suggest that this song was written about Lou Reeds heroine addiction. Even if it wasn't, the final line “you're going to reap just what you sow” isn't exactly the most romantic line ever.

Another classic song to be regularly misinterpreted is 'Every Breath You Take' by the Police. A quick google search will show you that this song is widely regarded as being about Stings break-up with his first wife - hardly a fitting sentiment for the first dance of a newly wedding couple.

So how do you navigate your way through the pitfalls of choosing a song for the first dance at your wedding, if you don't already have a suitable favourite? Well, if you can't face reading through the sleeve notes of your record collection, you can try some of the many internet sites offering suitable suggestions, which can provide popular lists and song lyrics, as well as useful additional information about each song, allowing you to assess how appropriate it really is. If all else fails, you could just play safe and plump for an instrumental track instead (occasionsongs.com recommend Santana's Samba Pa Ti).

Upon arrival in the island, the couple must apply personally to the Marriage Officer of the municipality that they have chosen. A Marriage License is then issued after verification of legal requirements, which are detailed below. The couple may then choose to be married by the Marriage Officer through a civil ceremony or have their wedding in a church by a Registered Minister.

Hawaiian weddings are laden with traditions showing respect for the family, ancestors and culture. Following these customs is believed to ensure luck, prosperity and happiness for the bridal couple. Here are the steps to make one memorable Hawaiian wedding to last you a lifetime.

STEP 1: Make room for some variation. Most Hawaiian weddings include a variety of Christian and Protestant traditions in the ceremony. Also plan to include in the ceremony a mix of Hawaiian and English customs. Allowing variation adds interest and color to the event.

STEP 2: Choose an appropriate attire for the bride. The bride should wear a long, usually white or depending on the motiff, and formal dress called a 'holoku.' In place of a veil, a garland of flowers known as 'haku lei’ hangs around her head. Her bouquet can either be of orchids or of wild lilies.

STEP 3: Select an appropriate attire for the groom. For the groom, choose a white shirt with long sleeves paired with white pants. Wrap his waist with a long sash which is typically red but may also follow the motiff of the wedding.

STEP 4: Purchase garlands Be sure that you both have maile leis or garlands that are made using sweet smelling green leaves hanging around your neck. This is a symbol for "aloha" and how the early settlrs of Hawaii communicated with their environment.

STEP 5: Adorn the garlands. For the lei of the bride, it should be woven with white jasmine or pikake. Meanwhile, the groom's lei should be adorned with ilima. An ilima is a flower that has very thin and brightly colored petals.

STEP 6: Order garlands for family members. Aside from ordering for yourselves, do also provide beautiful leis for the soon mothers-in-law. It is highly recommendable to order three-stranded pikake.

STEP 7: Have a conch ready and designate someone to blow the shell. It is a unique Hawaiian tradition to hear the sound of a conch for three times before the start of the ceremony. This signifies that the Lord is present in the ceremony.

STEP 8: Mix customs and traditions of different cultures in the wedding. Since Hawaii is a melting pot for various cultures. Try to incorporate Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino wedding traditions that reflect the rich diverse cultures found in Hawaii. For example, you may encourage some guests to wear the kimono of the Japanese or have japanese inspired wedding tables at the reception. You may also consider adding fireworks after the ceremony which is believed by the Chinese to drive out bad spirits and invite good luck and fortune.

STEP 9: Do the Pandango. Although not originally part of the Hawaiian heritage Pandango is a Filipino custom often present in at most Hawaiian weddings. The plan is to have money pinned on the clothes of the newly weds While the bride and groom are enjoying their first dance. Sponsors and other guests tape and wrap money around the bride and groom as long as the music is playing. The couple keeps dancing until all their guests had a made their wishes of good tidings for the couple.

STEP 10: Make origami. Borrowing another custom from another culture, prepare one thousand and one origami cranes made out of foil before the wedding. The long life span of a crane symbolizes happiness, good fortune, good luck, longevity, peace and faithfulness within the marriage.

STEP 11: Do not forget to order your wedding cake. Instead of using a regular flour, the main ingredient used should be wheat flour. The wheat represents the beginning of the couples' married life.

STEP 12: The couple should cut together the first slice of the cake. Cutting the cake together shows the commitment of each other to partake in whatever road and in whatever challenges their marriage takes them. Then the couple gives each other a bite of cake to show that they will continue love and honor each other.

Here are other tips to make your Hawaiian wedding memorable.

• Although it may seem funny and to some sweet, mashing the cake on your partner’s face is generally considered distasteful.
• To have a spectacular effect, hire a professional to frame and mount the cranes for guest to have something to admire.
• Consider serving, tropical fruits for desert and include seafood in the menu.
• Arrange for a band or a collection of instrumental Hawaiian music.

Getting hitched on a budget is not cheap. It's actually a practical way of getting there and you shouldn’t be embarrassed about being cost-conscious. Even Carmen Elektra, with all the pomp in her own affair, voiced her concerns about too much cost during her pre-wedding prep.

While relatively speaking, most regular couple's budget concerns may seem a pittance compared to Elektra's (her wedding gown alone reputedly cost $10,000), it is still well worth your effort to put some thought into your own wedding preparations. Here's how:

Everything's in the plan.
You can't hope to build a budget if you haven’t got a plan. Start your wedding plans as early as possible. Use a separate notebook to record everything from your schedules, motif, florists, churches, wedding receptions, list of invitees, your mom's clothes, everything. If you can foresee your needs versus your wants, you can trim down your budget significantly.

Limit your invitees
Do you really have to invite Aunt Sally's best friend's cousin who helped you with your third grade art class assignment or every member of your dad's golf club who knows your name? Keep your budget down by focusing on a more intimate, exclusive affair. For everyone else, just host a simple pre- or post-wedding get-together. This way, you get to share with them your happiness without incurring too much cost.

Rent, make or borrow
That includes shoes, jewelry, even utensils and toasting glasses. Ask your relatives, friends and close colleagues for help. Have your flowers, wedding invites and favors made by volunteers and save on cost.

Professional florists cost more, so why not tap your small flower arrangement class around the corner and have them make your bouquets for you?

Budget date
Consider getting married on a Friday than on a weekend. Restaurants and bars charge cheaper on weekdays than on Saturdays or Sundays.

Wedding gowns and dresses
Wedding gowns can cost a lot, regardless, but you can shave off dollars by a little creativity. Shop for dresses from consignment shops, popular catalogs, newspaper and internet ads. Or, begin a family tradition by using your mother's gown (if it fits) or maybe even your grandmother's beautiful lace dress. Vintage can look very becoming for a wedding. If you want an updated look, go to a trusted seamstress and have it trimmed or embellished.

If you want celebrity wedding gowns on the cheap, check out sites like WeddingChannel.com. You'll find imitation dresses that look exactly the same as the ones worn by your favorite celebrity but at a much affordable price. A $10,000 celebrity wedding dress can be had for $500 to $800.

Reception
The most expensive part of your wedding is the reception, so this is the part where you'll need the most help. If you want to have the best budget choice, start your search ahead of time. Look beyond the price when shopping for the right location. Some reception halls may cost more but might have better facilities and extras, so be sure to compare well.

If you're hosting a wedding reception in your home or in a location that doesn’t serve food, you will have to hire a caterer. You can maintain your budget by asking a relative or friend who is qualified to prepare the food. You save more by just spending for the raw materials. Ask for his/her service as a wedding gift instead.

Choose buffet or plate meals or to bring your budget down even further, get married earlier for a breakfast reception. A mid-morning or afternoon reception will mean less food expense, allowing you to serve just hors d' oeuvres, cake or non-alcoholic drinks. You can just add wine or beer later on. To save even more, buy liquor by the bulk or stock up on sale items weeks before the wedding.

Instead of hiring a DJ, record your music in one CD and assign someone to play it at a given time. And when it comes to transportation, rent cars only for the bride, groom and the main entourage like the best man or maid of honor. The rest of the bridal party will usually bring their own cars or ride with their parents, spouses or significant other.

Planning a wedding on a budget need not be a scary, cheapo affair. On the contrary, it can be as classy and as memorable as any expensive wedding. By putting in much creativity and thought into the process, you not only save money, you can even be confident and satisfied enough to know that you are starting a new life on the right foot, debt-free.

Most Romantic Wedding Readings

2008-07-07T22:25:00.000-07:00

When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.

From "Gift From The Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Humans have never understood the power of Love, for if they had they would surely have built noble temples and altars and offered solemn sacrifices; but this is not done, and most certainly ought to be done, since Love is our best friend, our helper, and the healer of the ills which prevent us from being happy.

To understand the power of Love, we must understand that our original human nature was not like it is now, but different. Human beings each had two sets of arms, two sets of legs, and two faces looking in opposite directions. There were three sexes then: one comprised of two men called the children of the Sun, one made of two women called the children of the Earth, and a third made of a man and a woman, called the children of the Moon. Due to the power and might of these original humans, the Gods began to fear that their reign might be threatened. They sought for a way to end the humans’ insolence without destroying them.

It was at this point that Zeus divided the humans in half. After the division the two parts of each desiring their other half, came together, and throwing their arms about one another, entwined in mutual embraces, longing to grow into one. So ancient is the desire of one another which is implanted in us, reuniting our original nature, making one of two, and healing the state of humankind.

Each of us when separated, having one side only, is but the indenture of a person, and we are always looking for our other half. Those whose original nature lies with the children of the Sun are men who are drawn to other men, those from the children of the Earth are women who love other women, and those from the children of the Moon are men and women drawn to one another. And when one of us meets our other half, we are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy, and would not be out of the other’s sight even for a moment. We pass our whole lives together, desiring that we should be melted into one, to spend our lives as one person instead of two, and so that after our death there will be one departed soul instead of two; this is the very expression of our ancient need. And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called Love.

From Plato's Symposium

The Bridal Registry

When two people decide to get married, a lot of planning is involved to make that date a memorable one. The wardrobe of the spouses will be made, the venue of the wedding and the reception have to be agreed on including how much will be spent for everything.

Months before the wedding, it will be a good idea to sign up for a bridal registry. This will surely help the spouses get specific things for the new home instead of having to buy it from the store.

Who invented the idea of a bridal registry? This was first done many years ago in a Chicago based department store which first offered it to newly wed couples. A lot of retailers got hooked on the idea and almost everyone is doing it from the electronics store to the ones selling accessories for home improvement.

Most department stores offer this service. The engaged couple will just select the desired items from the selling area and the sales clerk will take note of everything. The representative can even help select some if the lovers are unsure of which item to get.

Some couples do not only register in one store. Some have done it in several ones especially when the brand that the lovers’ want is not available in one place and is only available in the other.

A great way which will serve as a guide for which items to get for the bridal registry will be to think of the items that will be needed in the new home. This should match the color of the walls so it is able to blend in with the surroundings.

Other items, which may be needed in the last minute, can also be done by the store. After all, those who are counting the days done will be stressed out worrying about the other details.

When this is finished, the engaged party should inform family and friends about it to avoid getting a similar item as a wedding gift. This is usually done by having this printed on the invitation.

If the couple is close to those attending the event, it wouldn’t hurt to do this by saying it up front. The same answer can be given to those who decide to ask.

Guests who are looking for a gift will be escorted around by the sales clerk explaining which items are the only ones left that have not been selected. If nothing is within the budget of those who want to buy a gift, the store can suggest giving a gift certificate instead as the present.

There are some who find the idea of a bridal registry offensive. This is because the couple is asking for something instead of just being thankful of whatever is given. On the other hand, it serves the purpose of only getting the essentials, which is why more people are doing the same thing.

There are incidents wherein the newly weds still get the same item perhaps because the guest did not have time to look at the bridal registry. Fortunately, most retailers will allow this to be exchanged for something else.

In fact, some couples have even went to the extent of registering for this online so that guests from out of town can check what gifts can be given for the wedding.

Aside from the usual home appliances that come from the bridal registry, others have decided to also add to the wish list certain things after the wedding. This can be the airfare for the dream honeymoon destination, a guided tour while staying there, a romantic dinner in a fancy restaurant and body care in a spa.

This is considered to be practical given that the couple has already spent so much for the wedding preparations.

Registries are also being done for newborn babies. Instead of those expensive items, toys and accessories are the usual things that parents ask for which will be very useful for the infant.

The wedding registry is simply a wish list. Not all of the items may be given during that special day but most of the items will surely be a big help for those who have decided to start a new life together as husband and wife.
