Wedding Strategies.com Wedding Planning Site

I happened upon this weddings website today, and thought it was worth a mention to those of you planning your wedding. I had a great time planning my wedding and I still love finding new links for the Wedding Crafts page. Plus, my invitation is available on the website if you're planning on making your own.

Your wedding flowers create the mood for you ceremony and reception. There are several articles about flowers, and even flower alternatives here. I think that most couples opt for fresh flowers, though silk flowers are great if you're doing your own flowers. Flowers can be very symbolic and meaningful to the bride and groom. I chose tulips for my wedding. My wedding was in early spring and I've always loved tulips. They're not the most practical choice because they're fragile and do not preserve well, but I loved the look. I carried the them over into our wedding thank-you cards and my wedding scrapbooking, too.

Another opportunity for the bride and groom to show their unique style is in choosing their wedding vows. However, writing your own vows from scratch can be daunting, so I recommend consulting lots of different sources until you find ideas and wordings that resonate with both of you. There are some good ideas and ways to avoid pratfalls in this group of articles.

I enjoyed designing the decorations for my reception. Since my overall theme was early spring, I wanted to add that feeling of pastel colors and early spring flowers to my decorating theme. If you have a theme for your wedding, I think it's easier to make all the millions of decisions that seem to come up while planning your wedding. Of course, with any theme, your decorations can go in many directions, depending on your taste and budget. Decorations are a great area to do it yourself or with family help and save a little on your budget. I visited my reception site a few times to get ideas and take measurements. There are other tips and tricks listed on the Wedding Strategies website, too.

If you're planning your wedding, have fun! It will go by quickly and be remembered forever.
