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.

Your wedding is supposed to be a joyous day that you can remember for the rest of your life. However, there are times that not everything is perfect at a wedding and you need to pull a few strings to get everything off without a hitch.

When you find yourself in the midst of a wedding day disaster, take a breath and try out a few of these tips. They probably won’t be enough to fix a major snafu, but they will likely solve most of the most common issues that are usually seen by brides on their big day.

The Dress Doesn’t Fit!

Alterations

One of the best ways to battle this is by trying the dress on the night before your big day. This will give you time to prepare and make any adjustments that may be needed. If you find that your dress doesn’t fit quite right and you are unable to make major alterations at this point, there are a couple of quick fixes that you can rely on.

If your dress is too small, you can zip it up as far as it will go and use fishing line to keep the zipper in place. You can then hide it by using ribbons, flowers or your veil to cover it up. On the other hand, if you find that your dress to large, use safety pins to make it fit better. You can work your magic by hiding the pins under your arm.

Something is Spilled on your Dress

Wedding dresses were made in the worst color possible when it comes to showing dirt and stains and even though everyone is careful, disasters do happen. The best thing to do when you are getting married is to make sure that you obtain the fabric care guidelines from the store where you purchase your dress.

However, if you do find yourself in a jam, there you should dab the area with a white cloth. Begin at the outside and work your way to the middle of the stain. Next you can apply a small amount of club soda on the stain and continue to dab it until the stain is removed. Finally, use a blow dryer that is set on low to dry the spot again. If there are signs of the stain that are still remaining, you can use white chalk or talcum powder to cover it up.

You wake up with a facial blemish

Every bride wants to look beautiful on her big day and waking up to find a huge red pimple on her face can be devastating. However, you should avoid picking at the spot and apply an ice cube instead. This will help to ease the swelling and redness so that you will be able to hide it with concealer and makeup.

We forgot the Rings!

You may find this surprising, but this does happen regularly. The bride may think the groom has them or vice versus or they may have been entrusted to the reliable best man, but whatever the reason they are now not available. Even though it may be difficult to handle the fact that you won’t be able to use the rings that you have chosen for your special day, try not to panic too much.

Instead, see if you can borrow your parent’s rings or another couple who you admire. More than likely they will happy to oblige and you will have a special ‘something borrowed’ to use for your wedding. If you are concerned about the pictures that you will not be able to take, see if your photographer will allow you to take a quick picture another day when you do have your rings available.

Conclusion

No wedding is completely without a few mishaps or miniature disasters. With emotions running high, it would be easy to let a small issue blow up into a huge ordeal. However, if you plan for these minor things to happen, you will find that your day is much less stressful and you will not have the worries that you would have had if you had not come prepared.
