A DIFFERENT KIND OF WALK-THROUGH
Wear your shoes around the house before the wedding. is will not only help break them in, but it will help you feel comfortable walking and dancing.
PERSONALIZE THE PARTY
Have your guests write down a few of their favorite songs on their rsvp cards to help compile the music list for the reception. If you are going to use place cards, write a personal note on them, so when Aunt Joan picks up her place card, she will get to read a loving tribute from you. For small children in your wedding party, tie a decorative helium balloon on a string around their wrist; it will help guide them as they “follow it” down the aisle. Also, provide goody bags for the kids in attendance (crayons and coloring book/puzzle books, games, etc.).
FABRIC & FLOWERS
Use parts of your mother’s or grandmother’s weddings: See if you can obtain a piece of lace or fabric from their dress to incorporate into your veil, garter, or bouquet. For owers, give your orist a photo of the bouquets they carried to replicate, and you’ve got something old AND something new … priceless!
