beauty, health & fun Beauty spas and salons help you look the best on your special days, and help in relaxing and rejuvenating you. Spas are the best places to go to relax, recharge and pamper yourself while professionals look after you. Consider the distance of the spa from your workplace or home and decide which spot is better for you to reach the salon on time. Call up the salon to find out about the different services they offer you, and if they cater to your beauty needs. If you are planning a bachelorette party, keep in mind the taste, attitude and style of the bride-to-be. A popular bachelorette party idea is a limousine trip to popular nightclubs. Parties at home, dinners, luncheons

bridal jewelry Jewelry holds a special place in the celebration of a marriage. Jewelry is used to symbolize a couple’s love for each other, representing a lasting bond between two people. Wedding and engagement jewelry is also there to make sure you look great on your wedding day! When planning for your big day, keep in mind your many options for wedding and engagement jewelry. The engagement ring represents the promise of marriage. While alternative gemstones are becoming more popular, you can never go wrong with a traditional diamond engagement ring. The simplest, and perhaps most elegant, is a diamond solitaire ring, which is a single diamond set on a gold band. This basic design can be spiced up a bit by adding accents, which are smaller gem stones placed around the main diamond. Wedding bands are exchanged at the wedding ceremony to represent the couple’s life long commitment to each other and their marriage. Wedding bands are usually plain for men and women, although some women will now inset diamonds or other gemstones into their wedding band. The main decision you have when choosing a wedding band is whether you want gold or platinum. Whatever you decide, it is best to keep in mind what the band will look like matched with the engagement ring. To add an extra bit of style and pizzazz on your wedding day, consider getting some wedding day jewelry. This can involve anything

cakes & pastries A big attraction at your reception is your wedding cake, and it’s one of the most fun parts of your wedding planning efforts. Your cake should be as individual as you, so it’s best to shop around to decide on the flavor, style and decorations, and to find a baker who is willing to accommodate you. Many couples even order their cakes as much as 6 months ahead of time to insure they get what they want.
Get ideas for wedding cakes on the Internet or in wedding magazines. Print or clip out pictures of your favorites. Get an idea of how many people will be attending the wedding, and then schedule a tasting with a cake specialist. Bring your fiancé to the appointment and tell the cake specialist your ideas of what your dream cake looks like and what your budget is. The final product should be as elegant as your wedding. As far as wedding expenses go, your catering or food bill is typically your largest expense (45-50% of most wedding budgets). Call potential wedding caterers to ask about their availability and general price range. Spend plenty of time with your caterer talking about your budget, the style of reception you'd like (i.e. buffet, food stations, sit down dinner or cocktail reception) and the types of food that you'd like to serve. If you are unfamiliar with the caterer, always schedule a tasting to sample their culinary skills and take note that the food is attractively presented too.

hiring a DJ. Successfully planning and performing a reception requires experience. Choosing a DJ company such as Party Pleasers will give you certain advantages. They have a group of DJ’s who learn from each other as well as backup DJ’s AND equipment in case of an emergency. Another factor to evaluate is the “My Way or Your Way” factor. Many DJ’s feel they have figured out “the best way” to perform a reception. In this case, their experience has caused them to close their minds to your ideas about your reception. Find a DJ company who asks you about your style and personality and finds ways to help you accomplish your ideas. The fourth pointer is what we call “Master of Ceremonies.” Be sure to find a DJ who you believe will communicate with your venue or caterer as well as with your guests the night of the reception.

favors There are many kinds of wedding favors you can choose - from something handmade to simple flowers to very intricate, personalized wedding favors. Some brides pick the favors to reflect the wedding and its theme. Others like to match the colors of the wedding to the favors. Some couples want something simple and personalized, for their guests to remember the wedding date. Favors add interest to tables, reflect the couple’s personality and give guests a keepsake from the wedding. Choose your favors well, and your friends and family will be talking about them long after the big day has come and gone.
flowers You have unlimited choices to help make your wedding a perfect festive occasion. Among the many things you may need to consider are bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, chair covers, unity candles, head table decor, backdrops, ceiling canopies, favors, invitations, decorating supplies and much more! Browse through bridal magazines to note which florists create the arrangements you admire most. Make a list of these florists, and seek recommendations from friends. Though your flowers won't need to be ordered until a few months before your wedding date, it's important to book your florist as soon as possible. Many florists are booked a year in advance. From simple to elaborate, there is enough variety to fit every taste imaginable.

honeymoon & travel A honeymoon is especially rewarding after all of the stress that comes with planning a wedding. If you’re not sure of where to go, or how to book, visit a travel agent. Travel agents are sure to have many ideas and can offer tips and advice. Plus, they can offer packages to fit your price range and will keep you informed of happenings and events in the area. Don’t leave anything to chance. Make sure all bases are covered including travel arrangements, food, and lodging. You’ll also want to schedule as many daily activities as possible. Look at the time of year you are getting married and then consult the climate/weather calendar in any suggested honeymoon location for that time of year.

limousines & transportation As you journey toward the rest of your lives together on your wedding day, realize that there are many wonderful transportation options available to you. First consider whether you want to be alone or with the entire bridal party and determine from there how to incorporate your personalities into your ride. Also, will you hire transportation to get you to the wedding, from the ceremony to reception, post-reception, or all day? Remember that if you are taking people a distance from their cars, additional transportation will need to be provided to get them back. One highly sought after transportation mode for weddings is limousine rental. Limousines are wonderful options as there is a paid driver, plenty of room in the back for everyone to fit inside, and it provides a classy look for the special occasion. Limousines come in various colors, styles and sizes. The bride and groom can choose to ride alone in one limousine while providing a limousine for everyone else or they can share their limo with the bridal party. Renting a limousine is a great way to celebrate the day with everyone involved. Other options include renting a classic automobile, a trolley or the classic horse drawn carriage. Whatever you choose, remember that it should match your style as well as

reception sites Your wedding reception is a very special party where all your guests come together to celebrate your new life as a married couple.
When you visit your prospective venues, explain exactly what you are looking for and ask if the venue can customize your wedding for you. Make sure you have a good estimate of the number of people you will be inviting to determine how much room you’ll need. And start looking early. Reception sites get reserved quickly, especially in big cities. Book the reception site as soon as you've decided - to avoid losing it. Once you've found the reception site you want, you will want to call or visit the site to reserve it for your wedding day. Make sure you get a receipt or confirmation for the reception site so you have a guarantee of the

And, that's just the way owners, Kathy and Bill Kinane planned it.

Whether you choose a tented reception with sit-down dining or a casual backyard affair featuring food stations, these wedding professionals can supply the necessary equipment. Commonly rented items include tables and chairs, carpeting, tents, place settings, food and beverage hardware, and punch bowls. But many companies also provide portable dance floors, sound systems, lighting systems, heating and air conditioning, and much more. There are so many lighting options now that outside events at nighttime are easily produced. Your wedding rental options are limitless, with almost any need addressed. So don’t hesitate to apply imagination and creativity to your celebration. Rental equipment companies can help you fill in the details.

consultants
can take care of any item, no matter how small. They are experts at helping you create
the
type
of
wedding you want, and will help you pick your venue,
vendors,

scheme, theme, music, and much more. In most cases, they can help you save money through their connections in the industry, thus keeping you within your budget. Since consultants know a couple’s price range, they can weed out any vendor who doesn’t fall within the confines of the bride and groom’s budget. In addition, they’ll know the couple’s likes and dislikes and will make sure even the most minor details are perfect. Wedding consultants are no longer just for the rich and famous. With affordable pricing, they’re now a popular choice for couples of all financial means. If you’re overwhelmed with all that needs to be done for your wedding, you should consider hiring a wedding consultant. In most cases, the savings experienced by the couple through their wedding planner's keen negotiating skills pay for the cost of hiring the consultant, if not more. So in the end the bride and groom are left with a beautifully orchestrated wedding, planned by a professional, with less stress and the ability to focus on the joy of the
58
occasion.
