My Bridal Report

Decorating for your wedding reception is one of the many things a bride must think about during the wedding planning process. Planning a wedding takes a lot of work, thought and creativity, but in the end it is worth it. It might seem overwhelming at first, but if you take the time to break down everything that needs to be done it will help you a lot.

Before you even begin to think about all of the different decor choices you have you need to decide on a wedding reception location. The place the wedding reception is held will determine your decorations in part by the atmosphere already in place, what decorations they allow and anything they will provide for you.

If you already have the place and know the time of the reception ” as the hours of the reception could affect how easy or difficult it is to decorate, especially if you are having a themed wedding ” you can now start planning the decorations. I suggest that you start with the basics, decide the linens for the tables, the silverware, glassware and china your guests will be using. These simple decisions could mean the difference between a wedding reception which feels elegant and one which is casual.

Now that you know what the food and drink will be served in think about the guests first impression. It is time to decide if the entry room will have an archway or anything else specially decorated that the guests will take notice of when they walk into the room or rooms that the reception will be held in.

Now we are to the centerpieces. Wedding centerpieces can make the whole room like a lot nicer. Flowers, wreathes and candles are always popular choices. These items are especially nice because you can choose them to match the colors of the wedding, the season or the theme of the wedding, if you have one.

Once you decide on the centerpieces for your guest tables, it is time to think about the wedding party table. You can either use the same centerpieces, similar ones but a little nicer (just like how the bride has a bigger bouquet than the bridesmaids, it is perfectly acceptable for the nicest centerpieces to be on the wedding party table), or you can choose to use something completely different and unique.

If you are having a buffet style meal or you have an appetizer table you may also want to decorate that. This can be done with special linens, candles, personal pictures of the bride and groom or using the wedding colors in some way.

If you are decorating the appetizer table, don’t forget the cake table. Flower petals are especially popular for this table as they look so nice surrounding the cake. Don’t forget to have the cake cutting and serving utensils that you picked for this occasion displayed on the table before the cake cutting.

Finally do not forget to think about what type (or level) of lighting will be used as well as incorporating any wedding theme or themes you have chosen into the reception decorations.

With weddings songs, first dance choices are no easy task. Nevertheless, choosing a great wedding song is a very crucial decision. When you have a DJ hired for the wedding or a band that performs wedding songs, first dance preferences have to be usually submitted in advance to ensure the DJ or Band can prepare for it.

The first thing that you should consider with first dance songs is who you are going to be dancing it with. Common wisdom says that with regards to wedding songs, first dance will usually go to the bride and her father. However, things do change, and sometimes it is going to be some the bride and the groom together. Decide for sure what you want the first dance to be.

The second thing that you should do is to consider your relationship with them. How do you feel about the person in question and how would you describe your relationship with them? For instance, if your father is distinctly anti-sentimental, choosing a very emotional song might be tough on him. Think about a song that will please you and that will at least amuse him.

If you are planning to have your first dance with your new spouse, you will find that choosing the right song can be both more and less difficult. What if you have drastically different tastes and what if you are interested in moving forward together? The truth is that there are plenty of ways for you to compromise.

When thinking about wedding songs, first dance choices can be tough. One way to decide with your future spouse on what you want is to sit down and to make lists together. If it is an important decision, both of you should write down five songs that you would like. Compare your lists and if there is anything in common, you have the song that you want. Both people get to make cases for the songs that they have picked.

In some cases, this technique does not yield a result at first. Simply repeat the process and aim at honesty and understanding. You should never get to the point where you flip a coin or something like that – make sure that you both are happy with the decision. It is best to try to explain why you like a certain song or why you think it is a suitable choice.

Most guys might be scared with too cheesy songs. However, be open to the idea that your future wife might like to have a little piece of that romantic movie thing that has been going on in her since she is small. Moreover, most wedding songs first dance pieces are rather on the “softer side”. So, get flexible on the idea.

Don’t rush. Relax and make a wise decision for the wedding song that makes both of you happy and those that will be dancing it. At the end of the day it’s most important that you do dance the dance together!
