Traditionally, partners purchase each other engagement rings and then exchange commitment rings during the ceremony. These are physical expressions of your lasting love. You can rings, bracelets, necklaces or any other symbol of your commitment.
AttireYou and your partner have complete control over the atmosphere and formality of your ceremony. Agree on an attire that best fits your vision of the ceremony. You can marry in tuxedos, suits, formal wear or even casual dress. However, if renting tuxedos be sure to reserve them at least 3 months in advance (keeping in mind their busy seasons- school dances and proms, etc.) If you have a traditional wedding party (bridesmaids and groomsmen) make sure you communicate the expected attire at least 3 months in advance. Many tuxedo rental stores offer package deals for wedding parties.
Wedding CakeHave you always dreamed of eating a multiple layer wedding cake or do you simple want a sheet cake with you and your sweetheart's names? Take ample time to discuss what type of cake you want. Also, call your local bakery at least 2-3 months in advance to be sure the cake is ready to be delivered to your reception.
FloristFloral arrangements take time to prepare and can sometimes be costly. Budget at least 10% on flowers. Contact your florist of choice for recommendations on seasonal arrangements, prices and time to delivery.
HoneymoonPlan a romantic getaway for just you and your partner. Choose a location and activities that fit your tastes and budget. Honeymoons can range from a weekend in a local hotel suite to cruises and trips to exotic islands. Book hotels and cruises at least 10-12 months before your ceremony.
