9 Things A Bridesmaid Must Remember

Bridesmaid's role actually begins in choosing the perfect outfit for the wedding and it doesn't end there. Being the sidekick of the bride, a bridesmaid should  know what to do in order to help the latter in having the best wedding preparations. Therefore, one should know what things she must do and what must she doesn't to keep the smooth flow of the wedding plans. Here are some tips:

Be a helpful assistant. Share your opinion with the bride and assist her in choosing dresses and materials for the entourage. It will help a lot in narrowing down the choices. You can as well help in scheduling necessary activities for the soon-to-be bride.

Don't be the decision maker. The bride's opinion should always be the top consideration. It's her day so what she thinks is more appropriate for her wedding should be assumed the best as well. She will ask your opinion on things she can't decide on anyway but keep in mind that unsolicited advice might blur the preparations more.

Be a channel of information. Some details of the wedding might be changed due to circumstances and sometimes, the bride missed to disseminate some details. It will be your job to assure that all guests will be updated on these changes.

Don't be a burden. Accomplish the things you promised the bride. The wedding is very important to the her so don't promise things you know you can't deliver. This will just add unnecessary stress and it may even cause a greater problem in the future.

How to Keep Your Guests Grooving on your Wedding Day

Weddings should not keep your guests from enjoying and grooving especially when they are at the reception. What makes a wedding alive are the people who don't just sit around but will go dancing with your wedding music. Your choice of music can greatly affect the atmosphere of your wedding so you should choose wisely your wedding songs. Here are some tips for a great wedding atmosphere.

Play a variety of genres of music. What appeals to your friends might not appeal to your current office mates. Mix things up and play some of each genre so the people who would go for ballroom dancing will have time to rest when hippy and techno music plays.

Be aware of your audience preference. You will not invite some stranger in your wedding so it is a lot easier to know their music preference. You might want to consider their ages too and the popular songs during their time. You can also make the initiative of asking your audience their favorite songs.

10 Unique Wedding Reception Ideas

Nothing is more memorable and exciting than a wedding with a twist of uniqueness. You can incorporate never before seen materials or add-ons at your reception venue that your guests can enjoy. Here are some ideas that can help you create a fun and exciting wedding.

1. Personalized Welcome Drink.

2. Photo Booths. Having one can help you better remember everyone who attended your wedding. It can also serve as a wedding souvenir to your guests with your names and wedding date in it.

3. Heavy Pica Pica/ Antipasto Buffet. Having a pica pica or Antipasto Buffet can help you out with the obligation of serving a full five course meal. You will have more options like having a full cheese and salami platter on one end and laying out a Sushi and sashimi selection on the other.

4. Juice/Mobile Bars. Why not serve fruit juices or wines of different flavors instead of the typical soda and iced tea? It is a better way to refreshen your guests after a very long wedding ceremony.

5. Cupcake Tower. Having a cupcake tower rather than a wedding cake is more trendy, fun, and handy. It can also help you save a lot of money since it can be given out as souvenirs at the end of the wedding.

Summer Wedding Cakes

Summer is a great time to celebrate a wedding. Best if you can have it in your favorite beach destination - Batangas, Boracay, Bohol, Cebu, Palawan....But if time and logistics will not allow it, you can always have it in an alternative wedding venue, with of course the summertime flair on your wedding details - like in your wedding cake!

Here are five ways to give your wedding cake the summer taste and look.

Flavors. Your wedding cake can have the taste of summer by adding up berries and fruits. Instead of the plain buttercream filling, consider a mixed raspberry filling or a lemon cake. If you are considering a chocolate cake, you can still incorporate a summertime taste by filling it up with berries or cherries. Top summer fruits in the Philippines are mangoes, watermelon, rambutan, and avocado.

Colors. The color is a main consideration when designing your summer wedding cake. You can't go wrong with a palette of preppy white, navy, and cherry red or a bold and bright mix of pink and green. For a subtle look, a simple chocolate ganache-covered wedding cake with simple white dots, or any ivory buttercream cake trimmed in light yellow. Or let the summer colors pop with an ivory cake accented with sugar-molded honeybees or birds.

10 Perfect Wedding Color Combos

Don't let your wedding theme color be a problem in your wedding plans. Here are 10 perfect wedding color combinations from "Better Homes and Gardens". All you need to do is choose which one best suits your preference and style.

Blue and White.For a sophisticated all-season wedding, use soft blues and whites in your color palette. Touches of blue can easily dress up table settings. For a blue-and-white bouquet, best is a combination of white cream roses nestled in blue hydrangeas. If you want blue bridesmaid dresses, choose a rich color that will complement the rest of your blues.

Pink and Lavender. Put a feminine touch on a spring wedding with a pretty pink-and-purple combo. The pinks and purples will pop against black bridesmaid dresses; give each bridesmaid a bouquet with both, or use one color for her bouquet and the other for a bright and bold sash. Another way to use these bright colors is to dress up your wedding cake with pink and purple swirls.

Orange and Green. This classic and bold color pair is perfect for any time of year. For a summer wedding, white accents will keep the color scheme bright; add in brown hues for a winter wedding to create a warm and pleasant color scheme. In this color combination, orange flowers will stand out. Best picks are roses, calla lilies, and dahlias.

Green and Pink. Go soft and subtle with this classic pair, perfect for a spring or summer wedding. Either color will look fabulous on your bridesmaids; consider giving your groomsmen a dash of both with a pink-and-green-stripe tie. For the flowers, use light colors; green hydrangeas, shown, or jade roses will make a beautiful bouquet.
