Our years of experience in the Bridal Industry has given us some insight which is worth sharing with you. We hope the following tips help to make this very special occasion easier to plan.

• YourWedding101.com Tip: Printable wedding invitations created in your own home on your own computer can be just as charming and beautiful as those ordered through a professional printer. Creating your own printable wedding invitations can also allow you to personalize them and create them with a wider variety of sayings. Another plus to printable invitations? They make a money-saving option for couples on a budget.


• YourWedding101.com Tip: Bridal jewelry should accompany the overall wedding attire, and not overwhelm your look. Keep your hairstyle and dress style in consideration when picking out bridal jewelry. For example, if your hair is long and down, you will likely want to go with small stud earrings. If your hair is up and pulled away from your face, longer earrings are a good choice. If your face is square, avoid wide earrings, whereas if you have a narrow, angular face, wider earrings are a good addition.


• YourWedding101.com Tip: Probably the biggest engagement ring tradition is the engagement proposal. Before proposing to your spouse-to-be, go shopping for engagement rings. Consult your loved ones about styles and specific, then discuss the engagement ring design with your jeweler.


• YourWedding101.com Tip: Asking questions is an important part of selecting a wedding photographer, and also the type of wedding photography you want to capture your wedding. Whether dealing with vendors, individual photographers or venues, ask to see albums of their wedding photography and request references from past clients.

• Order a smaller cake for the wedding party and offer a dessert bar with pastries and more so guests have other options than the wedding cake.


• You want to save the top layer of your cake for your first wedding anniversary, be sure to package it thoroughly. Wrap it in plastic wrap, then place it in a baggie, put the baggie in a small box (so it won´t get crushed in the freezer), wrap the box in foil and put it inside yet another freezer bag.


• With so much attention on the father-daughter dance, wedding reception music choices for the mother-son dance are often neglected.


• Finding Your Music


• If you´re at a loss as to how to find a good DJ or band, consider asking the manager of the banquet hall or other place where you´re having your reception. They often have a list of bands and DJs who have played their venue before.
