Weddings, Bridal Planner, Wedding Planning, Wedding Shows, and Bridal Magazines

Before you start your planning, visit the church or your ceremony site to find out if there are any restrictions or requirements on decorations they allow at the site. Some churches do not allow ribbon or fabric (e.g., tulle) to be draped from pew to pew, blocking center aisle access due to fire department requirements. Please consider the style of the church/ceremony site itself, because while some are wonderfully decorated others are more simple. Think about how the lighting will impact your wedding. If your church has large windows, weddings taking place in the noon hours will benefit from it because large windows will let more light in but no direct sunlight on the guests. If you decide to use candles, they would be more effective in the evening hours. If your dream is to hold your wedding outdoors, think about booking a lush landscape with plenty of room for your guests or an intimate garden for a more romantic setting. When your wedding day is close to a major holiday, inquire whether the church or your wedding site will be decorated, as it may be possible to incorporate the existing decorations into the style of your wedding. I would also recommend you to ask precisely what kind of decorations will be done, if any, during the week of your wedding. You do not want to end up 10 days before wedding and the church looks completely opposite to your wedding theme.
