Planning a wedding involves many details and choices, and one of the most important of all is the flowers!  Many brides-to-be have a very specific idea of what types of flowers, or even exact arrangements, that they want to feature during their wedding day.  However, making it a reality can be difficult when the flowers they have been dreaming about are not in season, which means they either have to be imported or are completely unavailable.  Fortunately, there is a multitude of options that will fit in with any wedding decor theme, from roses to ranunculus, dahlias to daisies.   Brides who are dead-set on particular flower varieties may end up paying exorbitant amounts if they are not locally grown and in season.  On the other hand, brides who are more open-minded and receptive to flowers other than their original choices may be pleasantly surprised by what else is out there.  Here are some of the benefits of choosing locally grown flowers that are in season for any wedding celebration:   Save Money Everyone knows …

Destination weddings have been very much in vogue, and they show little sign of losing popularity in destinations like Mexico. This could be for a number of reasons: great service, good weather, stunning locations, fine dining, lower costs, and great wedding activities are just some possible reasons to marry in Mexico. Some people still question, however, whether you should get legally married in Mexico or back home. Here are some points to consider when deciding where to marry legally. Weddings in Mexico are Legal Someone may have told you that if you marry in Mexico your union will not be legal when you return home, but this is not the case. Although you will need to register your wedding, and perhaps translate your certificate, your marriage will be legally binding if you follow the correct legal procedures in Mexico. Furthermore, if you have a wedding planner in Mexico they will be able to help you organize the necessary paperwork (which may be a bit more complex than at home). There are also many professional people …

Take a look at the most common honeymoon mistakes that people make, and learn from them before you plan your own: Planning very little down time A packed schedule during a sightseeing vacation in a strange place can be exciting, but it can also be really, really stressful so make sure to take time to balance activities and downtime so you can bond and have fun.

Depending on your wedding budget, you may find that you have to cut some corners in order to save money.  While some of the wallet-friendly options may look (or sound, or taste!) just as good as their more expensive counterparts, your wedding photography is not a good place to cut corners.  It may be tempting to hire a friend of a friend who dabbles in photography, but if you really want your wedding photos to capture the magical essence of your special day, going with a professional photographer will be more than worth the extra money you might spend.  The following are some of the most common issues that can come up with your wedding photography, and ideas to help you avoid them:    Choosing the Wrong Photographer Although one of the marks of a talented photographer is his or her ability to take a wide variety of shots that range in style, you shouldn’t immediately book someone just because their portfolio has a little of everything in it.  Your wedding photographer should really understand …

If you are planning your wedding, you have probably heard all about the buzz surrounding “first look” photos, which involve posing together before the ceremony to reveal the joy and excitement that come with seeing one another in your wedding attire for the very first time.  They often feature the groom waiting anxiously as the bride sneaks up on him, which can capture the emotion of the moment perfectly.  The anticipation of this moment definitely adds an element of fun for the happy couple on their big day as well as an electrifying energy that is infectious to everyone involved in the wedding.  This magical moment lends itself to some of the most stunning photography from the entire wedding day, often bursting with touching emotion.  However, following this wedding trend isn’t the right fit for every couple and there are several reasons why plenty of brides and grooms are saying “no thanks” and sticking with tradition.  To help you decide whether or the not the first look is right for you, here are some arguments …
