All a wedding really requires is a bride, the groom, a minister, and love. All of the other aspects are purely optional and might even cause unnecessary stress. In this article, we focus on the most important things to help you have a memorable and enjoyable wedding day.
If you have plenty of extra time but not a lot of extra money, then consider printing your own wedding invitations. Invitation kits cost a fraction of what completed invitations do and also allow you to choose everything, from your own ink color to your own font as well as wording.
If your wedding cake is a more colorful one that easily serves as the star of the show at your reception, after you and your new spouse of course, consider having it displayed sitting on a piece of fabric that coordinates with the colors in the cake. Whether you use a solid piece of fabric or opt for one with a pattern, choosing the right material can help attract your guests' attention and create a more stunning visual display. Consider the fabric's texture as well as its color when choosing display fabrics.
Vacation goody baskets make great delivery presents to guests at your destination wedding. Some examples of items that you should put in the basket include: disposable cameras, sun hats, sun glasses and tourist maps and guides. You may want to include a food guide to some local restaurants so that they can eat.
Part of the wedding tradition is to wear "something borrowed," so don't hesitate to borrow jewelry from a friend. This can help you achieve a nice look, while also letting you focus money in other areas to make your wedding much better.
Embellish your bouquet with sparkle. You can use rhinestones, diamonds or Swarovski crystals. You can achieve this look by using heat-fixed or adhesive crystals or small pieces of costume jewelry. For a consistent look, all of the stones should coordinate in terms of cut, color, and size.
In your wedding plans, make sure you consider what types of alcohol you wish to serve, and which ones are most cost effective. If there is one thing people like more than alcohol, it is free alcohol, and an open bar can quickly become a huge expense, especially the longer it remains open. With only a quick question, your venue should be able to provide you with their alcohol serving options.
Get a wedding planner who can help you get through the whole planning process. Weddings are stressful and a lot can go wrong. Ideally, a professional should manage the details and any emergencies that surface. You deserve to enjoy the reception and ceremony worry-free with your friends and family.

If there will be no dinner served for the guests, you can use that free space for renting various furniture to ensure a comfortable evening among the crowd. If you use comfortable furniture like lounge chairs or fancy sectional pieces, your guests might spend more time socializing with each other. Perhaps you could create different lounges and add plush seating to allow your guests to relax.
Don't hesitate to delegate important tasks to people that can handle it and that you know you can trust.

You can overdo it though, so you may want a trusted pro who has expertise in this area.
