Wedding Calendar And Checklist

You will need to spend a lot of time on your wedding planning if you would like to make it unique and perfect. In fact, most people will start planning for the wedding a year before. However, you will find that you will be the busiest around a month before your wedding. And you should read the points below to make sure that you will not miss any important issues.

You will need to visit all the wedding vendors a month before your wedding. You have to confirm all the details with the vendors. This is because you will need to allow about a month to work on the details. And they will also need the time to make changes if it is necessary.

One of the things you have to take care of is the wedding invitations. You should try to check if you have already sent the invitations to all your guests. If not, you have to send them out as soon as possible. You may even need to contact your guests by phone or email so that you with confirm with them whether they will come or not.

Another important issue you have to consider is the wedding dresses. The bridal shop will probably need a few weeks to alter the dresses if it is needed. As a result, you should go to the bridal shop and have a final fitting of the dresses. Otherwise you will not have enough time to alter the dresses.

You have to get the marriage license around two weeks before your wedding. It is also important to remember that you should confirm with the caterer on the food and menu in your reception. Remember to check with the caterer that the food will be enough. You should tell your caterer the final number of guests so that the caterer can prepare enough food.

You may probably be very nervous a week before your wedding. Yet, you should plan ahead. It is the time to think about your honeymoon. You should try to pack for your honeymoon if you decide to leave right after your wedding.

Some couples will consider honeymoon more important than the actual wedding. As a result, they may start packing even earlier. However, generally, a week before will be good enough. You should also check with the travel agents your itinerary so that you can make sure that there will be nothing wrong with your honeymoon plan.

You should try to be relaxed to the day before your wedding. Of course you may be very nervous but you have to learn to be relaxed. A good sleep is a must since you will need the energy for the event tomorrow.

The big day has finally come. Remember to have a good breakfast. You may not have time to have lunch in the afternoon. Again, you should try to be relaxed. It is your big day and you should enjoy the day with your guests, as well as your spouse!

Make Up For Your Wedding Day

You, you, you

One of the most important days of your life will be your wedding day. You will be the centre of attention for the full day with all eyes, aswell as all cameras on you. This is how it should be as the wedding day is your day! A day all about you, your life changing vows to your man, your dress, hair and make up, your family their to celebrate you. Looking your best should be at the top of your plans so when the dress is sorted out then be careful not to forget your make up as it plays an important part in making you look perfect. Your dazzling smile will be set alight by the perfect make up and glowing complexion.

Skin and glow

If you happened to be blessed with good skin then half the battle is over as your skin is the most important feature of your face. Unfortunately If you do have troublesome skin, such as sunspots or acne then don’t worry you can still glow, you will just have to work hard at getting it right for your wedding day. Once you have your skin glowing then arranging the make-up for your wedding day is more fun than a chore. Your skin needs to be soft to touch and easy to handle, which means that it is important that you use a good moisturizer. If you have oily skin then don’t aggravate your skin as it will only make it oilier. Oily skin can become very difficult to handle and will not help with the make-up for your wedding day. If you are having regular facials before your wedding then make sure you go for your last one at least one month in before the big day to let your skin settle. Remember the key to flawless make-up is good skin.

You will need to create a good base for your make up, which will be easier done now your skin is perfect. If you use an oil based foundation it will help prevent against your make-up wearing off and will also decrease the chances your make up smudging and blotching. The idea is for your foundation to give a barely-there look. You will want to consider using a powder blush instead of a cream based blush as the powder will last longer.

The sparkle in your eyes

On your wedding day every emotion you feel will be seen in your eyes! The saying can be quoted as, “the eyes are the windows to your soul”, and it is true. On your wedding day everyone will see the love in your eyes, but they will also see if you are tired! You will not be able to hide tired eyes with make up, so please get some sleep. Eight hours sleep before the big day will make a big difference. It is an emotional day but try to avoid crying before applying make-up for your wedding day, as this makes it difficult to conceal and will lead to smudges. Make sure you pluck, thread or wax your brows before your wedding day, if you wait until the day then it could lead to redness which becomes very difficult to conceal. Use layering of eye shadow for a good effect and use at least 2 coats of mascara to open up your eyes on your wedding day.

Wedding Films…

A Wedding video is such a precious keep sake. Could you imagine having your mothers footage of her Wedding or even your Grandmothers!? How amazing would that be? Pretty cool if you ask me! That’s why I feel like it is so important to always capture precious memories on film.

Wedding Videography is quickly becoming one of the most popular “new accessories” in the Wedding industry. It used to be that only stars and rich people could afford a Videographer at their Wedding. But now, it is quickly becoming the most sought after Vendor at a Wedding.

With more technology than ever, Wedding Videographers now have the edge and the capability to create and unforgettable film of your beautiful Wedding day.

Imagine having you the vows spoken, the way your father hugs you and you walking down the isle. What about all the guests present at your Wedding day and Reception and all the dancing, toasts, laughter and music. Photographs cannot capture that realism, only a video can.

So don’t forget when you are out there planning for your Wedding, do not forget to hire a Wedding Videographer. And not just any Wedding Videographer, make sure that the Wedding Videographer that you hire has a sense of taste and style that you do or who at least had the capability to crate any type of style you want to portray on your film! That is so very important.

Last weekend I filmed a Wedding that was just simply beautiful. Here is a tip from a Wedding Videographer to a Bride. Bride, if you decide to hire a Wedding Videographer to your make sure you do a few things in order for your film to be as picture perfect as possible.

First thing, which is one of the most important things to remember! Make sure, if you are having an evening Wedding, there MUST be good lighting for the Videographer. If nothing else, make sure that there is lighting on the bride, groom, and the pastor. Those are the most important people to be able to see if your having a night time Wedding.

If you are having a sunset Wedding it is very important to remember, if you are planning on having a Wedding Videographer there, that the Wedding must end before the sun goes down completely. Those two things to keep in mind will really help in making your Wedding Video turn out just beautifully and perfectly crystal clear.

Second, makeup is another very important topic. Many, if not all, Wedding Videographer will get a lot of close up shots, and of who….the Bride. Believe it or not, Brides actually look a lot more beautiful in their close up shots with the camcorder and it unknown why. It is said that most camcorders typically put in 10-20 pounds on a person. So when a close up shot is taken, it eliminates the full body shots and focuses more so on the eyes, the dress, the shoes getting out on, etc. and creates an image that is flattering. So, knowing that, make sure that you take particular care to your makeup and hair. Making sure that it is just right will make your beautiful image on your film an unforgettable experience to watch and to remember for a lifetime!

Of course it will be rare to plan for a beach wedding in winter. You should try to match your theme with the season you are going to get married.

A theme can also be created based on some cultural experiences. You can have a Chinese theme if both of you and your partner love Chinese culture very much. Of course, if you are going to choose such a theme, you should make sure that you can also find other wedding items which can match the Chinese idea.

The style of your event is also very important. Are you going to have an informal wedding? Are you a person who thinks that your big day should be something serious and thus it should be a formal one? Your attitude on weddings will certainly affect your decision. Some people believe that we should follow all the etiquettes when we are getting married while some may think that it will be totally alright to forget all the etiquettes.

On the contrary, if you would like to go for the idea of an informal event, you may try to seek for other locations for your wedding. As a matter of fact, a beach wedding can be considered an informal wedding.

Nowadays, most couple would like to plan for a really unique and special wedding. If you are also planning to host a special event, you may not go for a traditional wedding. You will need to work hard in order to make your event more special. In fact, all of your items will not be traditional if you are not going for a traditional wedding.

A good wedding theme will certainly lead to a unique and memorable wedding. Be sure to pay attention to all the details. It is the details which make a wedding unique and special.
