ChairCovers4U is a family run Wedding
Chair Cover hire and sales business covering the UK. After planning our own
wedding, we realised how stressful and expensive it can be organising and
planning your wedding. Below are a few tips which we have picked up along
the way.
Wedding Tips - Venues
As you visit possible venues, keep notes of your observations and the information
you obtain. Ask whether the quoted price is all inclusive, or whether there
will be additional charges. Insist that all details be reduced to writing,
including dates, times, prices, and descriptions of services provided.
Inquire into the payment requirements. Most sites will require a down payment
to reserve the facility, with the balance due approximately one week prior
to the date of the event, when the final guest count is known. Remember
Saturday night is the most expensive time to schedule your wedding reception.
To save money, consider another evening or a weekend afternoon. Morning
or afternoon weddings also call for a lighter menu, so you will be able
to save on the catering as well.
Wedding Tips - Photography
Your wedding photography will provide a long-lasting remembrance of one of
the happiest days of your life. The right professional photographer should
deliver a complete selection of photographs that tell the full story of
your day. To help select your professional photographer, keep these thoughts
in mind: Hire a professional, don’t trust your wedding memories to a friend
with a camera. Interview as many photographers and review as many wedding
albums as you can to find the style you like. Reserve your photographer
as early as possible. The best photographers tend to be booked up to a
year in advance. Most importantly, view his or her photographs. See if
you like the style of photography and you seem to interact well with the
possible photographer. Book as early as possible, some popular dates go
quickly.
Wedding Tips - Florist
Weddings are costly, and everyone is interested in saving money if possible.
Floral designs created from fresh and silk flowers may help you stay within
your budget.
Choose wedding flowers that either can serve more than one function or can
be kept as a remembrance of the occasion. Standing baskets filled with sprays
of fresh or silk flowers that decorate the ceremony can later be moved to
the reception site, where they look elegant placed behind the head table
or at the entrance to the room. An arch is useful at the site of the ceremony,
in a garden wedding, or the bride may wish to make her entrance under a flower
covered arch before being escorted down the aisle. Later, this same arch
could showcase the cake table or the guest book table. Swag, placed at the
top of such an arch, made of silk or dried materials, can be retained by
the newlyweds, evoking fond memories of the wedding day. The head table can
be highlighted by using a swag or floral centrepiece made of permanent botanicals.
This later becomes a lovely addition to a first home.
Wedding Tips - Beauty
More than on any other day in your life, your wedding day is the day that
you want to look beautiful. Whether or not you usually wear make-up, there
are good reasons for wearing it on your wedding day. Properly applied make-up
will greatly enhance your appearance, particularly in the many photographs
which will be taken in the course of the day. On the other hand, too much
makeup, the wrong makeup, or improperly applied makeup can have the opposite
effect heavy eyeliner or heavy false eyelashes will cast unwanted shadows
over your eyes and cheeks. No make-up may result in a washed out or anemic
appearance. Ideally, your make-up should enhance your features without
its presence being apparent. Some brides have a professional make-up artist
do the entire bridal party. If you decide to do your own make-up, the best
advice is practice, practice, practice, until you achieve the look you
want. It is not necessary to buy expensive products. Use your regular make-up
or consult a professional salesperson to find what products best suit your
skin and features, and how to apply them. Choose a make-up that is close
to your skin tone. If the foundation is too dark, it will create a mask-like
effect. Use a soft brown pencil for liner on the eyes. Apply brown powder
using a sponge tipped applicator on top of the pencil to set the liner
and avoid smearing. Pencil in the shape of your eyebrows lightly with a
soft, gentle touch. Use a lipliner pencil and draw the natural lipline,
which will help prevent lipstick from running. Blend with a cotton swab
and cover with a pastel lipstick. Add a touch of lip gloss to the center
of your lower lip. Apply foundation smoothly to the hairline. Cover your
face and neck with a fine powder and blend it well with a brush. Apply
a touch of blush high on your cheekbones and blend carefully.
