The Secret of Wedding Success Lies in the Little Things
When planning a wedding, most brides concentrate on the big things to perfect, but to have a successful wedding, it's the small touches that add up to a big hit.
- To be safe, use waterproof mascara for your wedding day. You never know how emotional you will be during the actual event, and you certainly don't want black tears rolling down your face if you cry.
- Many people, including your wedding guests, could be sensitive to perfumes, so try using scented body powder instead.
- Protect your pits! You don't want to have underarm stains on your beautiful dress. Consult a bridal salon on how to protect your wedding dress fabric from under-arm perspiration. You can buy protective shields specifically for that purpose. They can also protect you from embarrassing sweat stains!
- Keep some mint or breath-strips handy. You'll be mingling with many people and fresh breath is a must. You can slip them right down the top of your dress where they won't fall out.
- At the guest book table, consider creating a collage of pictures featuring you both from childhood, and culminating into pictures of you together.
- To entertain your guests at the reception before you arrive, make up a fun quiz of "get to know us better" bride and groom trivia.
- Put disposable cameras on the tables for the guests to take pictures. Have a bin by the door to place them in at the end of the reception.
- Give your photographer some note cards with the names of special people of whom you would like pictures.
- A fun way to celebrate the happy couple's sendoff is to blow bubbles instead of throwing rice or birdseed. Also, if it's an evening send off, try having the guests light sparklers. It makes for a beautiful picture!
