Selecting your wedding dress is by far the most exciting part of wedding planning. But once that’s done its onto bridesmaid’s dresses, reception decor, and what will your wedding color be?

Pantone has named turquoise as its color of 2010. “In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky”, Eiseman further states.

Look for lots of different ways brides will be using this color in their wedding color scheme.  In the next few weeks I’ll be posting some different color combinations that I think will be front and center this spring and summer.

2) Register Together: You should try to register together.  By doing this you can eliminate alot of items that you really don’t need. It’s easy to get carried away and register for 3 muffins tins and 2 different types of bottle opens.  However, you should register for whatever you want regardless of the price.  You may not get that $500.00 duvet cover from your friends, but perhaps receive a gift card that can be used towards its purchase.

3) Check Back Often:  You should check back every so often to make sure that everything is OK with the registry.  Make sure the store has crossed it off your registry items that you have already received.  Make sure you understand and agree to the return policy.

4) Think of your Guests:  Make sure the store offers a couple of different ways that your guests can purchase your registered items: online, phone or in-store.  Register for a variety of different priced items so that your guests can make a comfortable decision on the amount spent on your gift.

5) Thank-yous:  Have those thank you cards ready to go as you begin receiving your registered items.  Keeping on top of this makes things much easier for you in the long run.

Order them today and capture ALL those special moments on your wedding day.   You will agree the investment in the disposable cameras are priceless when viewing those pictures after your wedding.

1) Select a theme.  That’s the easiest way to achieve a elegantly decorating reception hall.  When you choose a theme, it allows you to narrow down your decorating scheme.  Themes could be a color you love, or repleting a place you have been too.

2)  Evaluate your reception space.  Take pictures of your reception hall, so that you can sit back and view what areas would be best for certain aspects of your wedding reception.  Find out where the reception manager normally sets up the tables.  Can you changes this or does it work well for you?  Where can the band or DJ set their stage?  Can you move anything around to better suit your needs?

3)  Work within your budget.  Most reception venues will have a selection of decorating that can be used, some may even be FREE so ask!  Start shopping early, for those cost steals.

4) You will want to get a lot of ideas for the decorations, so you’ll need to do some research. Bridal magazines and the internet are great areas to start your research.

5)  Express your personality through the decorations.  A truely successful wedding is a wedding that is an extension of the couple.  This may help you select your theme!
