When they make their respective marches down your aisle, your ring bearer and flower girl can elicit a positive reaction from your guests. This is usually one of the cutest moments of your wedding, but it is one that can take some planning. After all, working with younger children can be a challenge, as they can be unclear on what is happening, and may feel nervous with so many eyes on them. A ring bearer and flower girl are not mandatory roles – in fact, if you have a child-free wedding, you are better off leaving them out. With that said, they can add a truly touching moment to your wedding ceremony! (more…)

When couples are preparing to start their married lives, they traditionally have a number of helpful gifts from their registry to fill their home. Many people still believe that a registry needs to contain the sort of household goods you will need to create a home with your partner. Of course, these items are not needed for everyone. If you are already living with your partner, you may already own all of the items you would expect someone to put on a registry. As an alternative, many couples instead ask for support in paying for their honeymoon. While this may seem unusual to some of your more old-fashioned guests, you can find that creating a honeymoon-focused registry for your wedding is easier than you might anticipate! (more…)

Before you open up the floor to your guests, it is customary for you and your partner to have your first dance at the reception. For some couples, this is a fun opportunity to show off, and a chance to do something truly memorable. For others, this tradition can be more intimidating than exciting. How much thought should you give to the first dance at your wedding? You do not have choreograph some unforgettable number, but even if you keep it simple, you should take the time to practice.
