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.

Latest bridesmaids dress trends that are worth a look

Your bridesmaids are not only your best girlfriends, they are also a crucial part of your wedding décor. Hence, their dress selection is a very important factor in your wedding. Make a wise choice and not only will your bridesmaids be happy about being a big part of your wedding day, your wedding décor will also be fresh and inspiring. Here we look at three noteworthy trends that can provide a refreshing look to your bridal party.

Off-the-shoulder neckline

This look has been a favorite on the runway this year. The neckline flatters almost every body type. Whether you choose a short dress or a long gown featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline for your bridesmaids, it will be sexy, sophisticated and stylish. A pretty dress like the Angelina Faccenda 20453 from the Mori Lee Collection, with a ruched bodice and embellishments on the straps, will have your bridesmaids eagerly looking forward to dressing up for your big day.

Ruffles

Ruffles on a gown add extra feminine appeal to the dress and the wearer. Whether you want ruffles in the neck details, throughout the bodice, or only in the skirt, there are no dearth of choices. Ruffles make a dress exciting and fun, by adding extra texture. You can have your ladies in full-bodied ruffle skirts, short frocks with ruffles in the bodice or just a layer of ruffles appearing somewhere along the neckline, to create a statement. Take a look at this super stylish ruffled dress from the Mori Lee Bridesmaids Fall 2014 collection. Don’t you think it will pep up your wedding day with both color and style?

Embellishments

There was a time when embellishments were restricted to wedding gowns, and bridesmaids dresses always looked the same. This is no longer the story. Today, embellished gowns for bridesmaids bring sparkle and shine to your wedding venue. You do not have to go over the top and find a dress that is decorated all over; a few subtle sparkling details can make all the difference between a boring dress and a fantastic one. Look at this stunning bridesmaid dress from the Mori Lee Spring 2015 collection. It brings together two of the trends we discussed. An off-the-shoulder neckline gives way to a ruched bodice, and the finishing touches of this spectacular dress are added by the perfect accessory, a scintillating waistband.

When your bridesmaids are entirely different from each other in looks, build and personality, satisfying all of them may be difficult. This is when you should consider going for diverse designs, tied together by a single element. This could be the color or design of the gown. A clever idea is to go with multi-way dresses that are versatile enough to allow your girls to wear it in the way that suits their body shape. This way they would all look different, yet the same!

Best for Bride has a vast collection with bridesmaids dresses of all types to choose from. Create an impact on your wedding day with unique bridesmaids dresses from our large collection.

How to Pick Your Wedding Date

Are you recently engaged? I’m sure the first thing many people ask when they see your ring is, ‘when is the wedding?’ and you may not have an answer. But that’s perfectly alright! Many couples do not settle on a date immediately, and many things can factor in to picking the right date, from what kind of wedding you want, to who will be attending, where it will be held and possibly most important of all, the cost. So how do you pick the wedding date that’s right for you?

Think About Your Wedding Location

Is your reception hall cheaper in the spring than it is the summer? Do they offer discounts in the winter months? If it’s an outdoor wedding, you’ll have to of course consider weather as a factor. It’s always good to have a “Plan B” in case of bad weather. Is this a destination wedding? The general rule of thumb is make sure your invites go out at least three months in advance (provided you’ve already sent a ‘Save the Date’ card).

Cost

It’s true that weddings can be very expensive, but if you pick the right date (for example: a Friday instead of a Saturday), you may be able to get things like your reception location, transportation and accommodation for a little bit cheaper. Be mindful of your guests though if you are picking a non-traditional day in the week to hold your ceremony and reception, as some may need to leave work early or may only be able to attend the reception.

Pick A Date Special to You

Many couples pick a date around when they first started dating, or a year anniversary after their engagement. Some others tend to choose ‘lucky dates’ (like those who went to Vegas to get married on 7/7/2007 for example) but it’s completely up to you what date suits you best.

Consider Other Events

If your wedding is around a holiday or a major event your friends and family usually attend, make sure to take that into consideration. Never be afraid to ask your bridal party or family their input so there will not be any conflicts.
