Wine Not? There are good wines available to suit almost every budget. Consider adding the elegant touch of wine(s) to your menu.
Got a Budget for Drinks? Make sure that you have the opportunity to select your wine and/or champagne.
Some catering managers will let you bring your own drinks for a sit-down meal. These can be
purchased at wine a spirits or ask the catering manager to order for you at trade prices.
Do-It-Yourself Liquor Check with your catering manager if you bring your own, because there may be a corkage charge.
Carry It - Double-Duty Re-use your ceremony flower arrangements. Have them carried into the reception hall to decorate tables and entrances.

As an alternate, you can cut out the big cake an serve another, less expensive dessert, such as cookies or ice cream.
To Your Credit It's wise to make all your wedding purchases with a credit card.
It's the safest way to go and the easiest when it comes to returns or disagreements.

15-20% of the cost of the meal and bar.
Deposits There are laws in some states that say a deposit given to secure a time, service, or
product is not refundable. Make sure of your decisions before you put your money down.
More Double Duty For cost-cutting, use your bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets on the head table at your reception, the table card and/or the guest book/gifts table.

Green Saves Green Using more greenery, more tulle, more ribbon and more baby's breath for decorating will be far less expensive that lots of flowers and still very effective for decorating.
A Cut Above Buying fresh, cut flowers from a flower wholesaler or market, is another cost-cutting tip. Placed in a pretty container, several cut anemones, tulips or roses, look beautiful.
A Drink, but not on-the-House Consider a cash bar instead of an open bar.
Time Makes a Price Difference Mornings, Fridays, Sundays and/or winter months, will save you money.
Floral Beauty on a Budget Small vases or votive holders packed tightly with a few beautiful flowers are a budget-conscious alternative to large vases with expensive flowers.
Liquor Option A lighter and more budget-conscious option for your bar is a "White Bar," with vodka, rum, champagne and wine for the base stock.

of you or a member of your bridal party tripping. Somehow runners never seem to stay put.
Run Run Aisle runners are used only for the bride, so that her gown doesn't get mud, dirt and grass on her train. It should be rolled out after the last people in the procession have reached the alter. The bride and her escort should be the only ones walking on it.
Ring Those Bells If you are getting married in church you can commission the bell ringers to announce your big
day in a way that will add special atmosphere to your event.
Singing in the Church Consider hiring the church choir to "sing down" the house and "lead" your guests in singing.

reception to make table clothes for your own home or to give as gifts.
Kiss - Kiss Make a card for each of the married couples at the reception and put them in a pretty basket. When people are calling out for the bride and groom to kiss, pull a name out of the basket and ask that couple to demonstrate "how-to" to the new couple.

alcohol while you are en route, a limousine is the only vehicle in which alcohol
consumption is legal.MUSIC Music Music Music.Wedding music sets the mood, so make sure that the venue you choose and your music providers "match." Hardwood floors, high ceilings and lots of windows tend to create great acoustics.PARTY FAVORS What You Do ThereAt a rehearsal dinner,

time together prior to the wedding. Replace Party Favors with a short personal note to each of your guests and place them at every seat. More work, but so much more personal!Bake Heart-Shaped Cookies and use icing to match your wedding color. Wrap cookies individually. Tie and tag with each guest's name and table number.

Wedding Favors Coordinated stationery or note cards are an appreciated party favor to give your guests.
Favors and more Favors Party favors can be almost any little gift which you feel your guests will enjoy. Consider the "standard" lace bag with Jordan almonds, or any other candy (stay away from things that melt), votive candles, small potted plants (in your wedding's color scheme), miniature bells, and silk or dried flowers.
Plant a Favor or Centerpiece For an earth-friendly gesture, tree seedlings ca be used as party favors and/or centerpieces (that also serves as a balloon weight and decorations).
Party Favor Donations Instead of shower or wedding favors, the bridal couple can make a donation to the charity of their choice, in honor of their guests.
Double Duty Consider using your centerpiece as a party favor.

"Best Case Scenario list" before they talk to their parents and/or friends about their wedding. At least in this way,
they two will be in sync.
Confirmations of any important wedding arrangements made by you or others should be confirmed in writing.
Limit the Look Try not to look at too many dresses at one time or in one shop. Try not to overload your memory banks.
Fabric Swatches Take a few. They will prove very useful to coordinate your wedding colors with your florist, baker, shoe store, etc.
Child's Play If you have decided to include lots of children in your wedding, ask about
a spare room at the church and/or your reception venue. There, the kids can be
entertained, "cool down," and, if you choose, can even have their own kids' meals.
Consider the Many Options An "alternative" wedding site may be just what you are looking for, so think about:: Parks, public gardens, museums, trains, boats, mountaintop, beach, a field or meadow, hot air balloon, hotel, public hall, a tent, historic homes/mansions/estates, inns and B & B.

Include area attractions, shopping, points of interest, and even recommendations for local eateries.RECEPTION Do-it-yourself can work well at the reception location you select.

collect all the sediments. When the wine was gone, some lucky person got to eat the bread or toast.Click Here To Return to Wedding Guide & Planner Index Click Here To Return to Welcome Page ©The right to download and store or output (e.g., print) materials found in Hudson Valley Weddings Web Site is granted for personal use only.
