Wedding Decorations Made Easy
Cleaning candle wax out of votive holders at the end of the wedding reception is never fun - so when setting out your votive candles, put a teaspoon of water in each and wax will float on it through the night, so it is easy to dispose of the melted wax right out of your holder with no fuss!

Plan the Wedding Day Details!
Take time to talk through your whole wedding day with your fiance. Ensure the timing will work and make a checklist of jobs/projects/errands. If you cannot personally address these errands, then be sure to delegate to other willing parties. Consider a day-of wedding planner if friends and family cannot be available.

Presentation is everything!
To save some money on food for your wedding reception, order the appetizers in platters. Use different sizes of empty cardboard boxes to create different levels on a table and loosely drape a matching table linen on top. This makes everything seem elegant and it looks fantastic!

The Best Wedding Speech
A speech or toast should be brief - from 3-5 minutes in length. Start with a personal reflection or anecdote. How the bride and groom met is always a favourite. You can also use humour or a quote to get the speech or toast started.

Avoid Wedding Favor Shortage Disappointments

Fresh Baked Wedding Cakes
It is very common for bakeries to use frozen cakes they buy from a supplier. Ask if your cake will be baked fresh and how many days prior to your wedding day. The Difference is night and day for the taste of your cake. Don't be afraid to ask the questions, it's a big purchase!

Wedding Cake Delivery
Be sure your cake supplier will be delivering and setting up the cake themselves. Often this job is left to the venue and they are not always equipped to handle the task.

Wedding Day Family Portraits
Be sure to send your wedding photographer a list of expected family group shots to be taken so that no one is missing from the wedding portraits. Have an attendant or close relative carry the list to the wedding.

Best Wedding Videos
Book your videographer as soon as you get engagaged. Waiting too long could diish the number of good videographers from which to choose. Try not to book less than 2-3 months before the wedding.

Wedding Photographers with Personality!
On your wedding day, you should be surrounded by people you enjoy, including your photographer. It helps if you've already done an engagement session with the photographer and are comfortable with their style but, if not, make sure that their personality is a good match to yours!

Dated Wedding Makeup
You should be able to enjoy your wedding photo forever, so make sure you only use colours that flatter your skin tone for a timelss look. Think fresh colours of spring or muted colours of autumn for warm skin and faded summer flowers or frosted icey tones for cool skin.
