Finding the Perfect Music for your Wedding

wedding music

When you are planning your wedding, one of the many portions of the ceremony that you will need to put focus on is the specific music that will be played at certain times. This music can be extremely important to both the bride and groom and it is best to come to an agreement on the music that will be played with your groom.

There are many different things that you should consider when you are selecting the music for your wedding. For example, the setting of your wedding may make a difference as to which music is allowed to be played. You may also need to consider the guests that will be in attendance and choose a selection that is suitable for them to hear. Regardless of your specific taste, it is a good idea to review the following tips before making your final decision on the music that will be played during your ceremony.

Consider the Venue

One of the most important considerations that you should make is where you will be getting married. Many churches require a certain style of music to be played and may request options that are religious friendly. You should get with your contact person at the church in order to determine what is allowed.

If you have not chosen a religious venue, it is likely that you will be able to have very few limits placed on the type of music that you have chosen. However, it is still best to select music that is not considered offensive so that the guests at your wedding do not feel uncomfortable.

Who will be singing the song?

It is also important to think about who you would like to sing the song. It is common for at least one solo artist to sing a song during a wedding and you should consider the person who you have in mind when selecting the music for them to sing. Make sure that they are comfortable singing the song that you have chosen and that it is an option that will work well with their voice.

Be Involved

If you have a wedding planner, it is likely that there are several areas of your wedding that do not require your personal attention. However, for this aspect, you will probably want to be personally involved because the music that is played during the ceremony can be very special to both the bride and groom. You should select music that is special to both you and the groom so that you will have the memories of your wedding whenever you hear the song in the future.

Conclusion

The music that is chosen for a wedding ceremony is something that should reflect the couple’s personalities and interests. It is intended to show how the couple feels about one another and to give them a moment to reflect on the day with one another. When you are ready to choose the perfect music for your wedding day, be sure to select music that will be memorable for both you and your new spouse.

Finding the Best Wedding Day Hair

Headpiece: J.L.Johnson - 869

Every portion of your wedding is equally important. However, one of the ones that brides tend to focus a great deal of time on is their hair and how it will look on the big day. There are so many styles to choose from and you will be looking for an option that looks fabulous with your dress and in the many pictures that you will be taking.

There are many things that you can do to make sure that you are satisfied with the way your hair appears on your wedding day. Below are some of the simplest paths to take.

Review the Different Styles

Because there are many different hair styles to choose from, it is best to review your options and compare them to the specific time of day that your wedding is taking place. Certain hairstyles work best for winter weddings held at night and others are best for outdoor summer weddings.

You may also want to consider whether you are wearing a veil or other accessories in your hair as well as the type of wedding you are having. For most formal weddings, brides tend to stick with up-do’s while informal brides opt for long flowing or loose styles.

Make an Appointment

You will need to make an appointment with your salon a minimum of eight weeks before your wedding. It is also a good idea to check back periodically to make sure that your appointment is still on the schedule.

It is also likely that you will have to find a special hairstylist to complete your wedding day look. While your regular hairstylist may be a fantastic option, don’t be surprised if they do not specialize in wedding styles.

Complete a Run Through

Many brides choose to go through a practice session with their stylist to make sure that the hairstyle is the one that they had in mind and so that the stylist will have the opportunity to see how much time the style will take and to master creating it before your big day.

You can also determine if the style is comfortable and if it will stay place as it needs to. Just remember that an excess of pins can be uncomfortable and the more intricate that the design is, the more likely that you will have issues with it falling down throughout the ceremony.

Extra Tips

On your wedding day, make sure that you wear a button up shirt to have your hair fixed. This will help eliminate the issue that you will be faced when you are ready to dress for the wedding. You should also step into your gown rather than pulling it over your head so that you don’t damage your makeup or hair.

It is possible that your stylist will tell you to arrive with your hair dirty for the styling. This is a common request because there are many hair types that will hold together better if there is natural oil in the hair. This also helps to avoid fly-aways and other issues that are typically seen with clean hair.

Conclusion

Selecting the hairstyle that you will wear for your wedding can be an exciting thing to do. However, it is important that you plan is it wisely so that you do not have any issues with it on your wedding day. You will be able to avoid many of the issues that usually go along with your hair if you stick with the tips that are listed above.

Spring and summer have always been the traditional wedding seasons. While this may be the popular choice for obvious reasons, there is something special and endearing about getting married in winter. The dropping temperatures and snowy landscape of this season create a splendid fairytale feel, making it perfect for a romantic wedding. If you are one of those daring couples who wish to embrace the beauty of winter and get married amidst the magic of snow and ice, here are some tips to make your winter wedding amazing.

The benefits of planning a winter wedding

The best part of a winter wedding is that you will face fewer hassles when booking the venue. It is also likely that this will extend to the caterers, photographers and band on the date you desire, as you wouldn’t have to compete for dates during this season.

Take advantage of the seasonal elements

winterwonderaThe winter scene is fresh and captivating. You can work this natural factor into your wedding décor. Although it may not be practical to have your party outdoors, you can find a venue that overlooks a wintry landscape to add to your décor. While it isn’t necessary to go with the natural winter wonderland palette of white, gold and silver, you can always embrace the natural esthetics and elements of this season. Consider using bold colors; say red, navy or purple, to create a spectacular setting against the white backdrop.

Make use of snowflakes, pine cones, icicles, snowmen and similar winter-themed decorative elements in your wedding invitations, centerpieces, party décor and favors. Dress up your venue with a roaring fire, plenty of candles and lush, soft textured textiles and you will have a warm and cozy setting.

Dressing up as a gorgeous winter bride with a fantastic entourage

Winter is the time to bring on layered gowns, long sleeved dresses, heavy fabrics, fur capes and perhaps experiment with a color beside traditional white. Choose a dress whose hemline grazes the ground, and it will keep you warm. If you have an outdoor ceremony, it is wise to avoid a long train that will be dragged through wet ground. Decide on appropriate footwear that will keep you comfortable in the cold, should you have to be outside even for a short while.

For yourself, as well as your bridesmaids, you can choose dresses in heavy fabrics like satin, crepe and velvet. How about adding a coat or gloves to your attire? This way, you can keep it on or take it off, based on your comfort. There are no hard and fast rules. You can even choose a dramatic dress, with ruffles or soft waves that are reminiscent of the delicate nature of snow. It will help you beautifully fit into the season this way.
