2. The Wedding Dress of Your Dreams

Unless you know you can buy a ready-made dress that is just what you want and fits you perfectly, your wedding planning should allow several months for the designing, fitting and making of your wedding dress. This provides time to consult with your designer about style, color, fabric and accessories, and to attend several fittings while the dress is being made. It is important that your wedding planning includes an arrangement with your wedding dress designer for a definite collection date, and that you make this date at least a week before the wedding, preferably earlier. The closer you get to your wedding day the busier you become, especially in the final week. By then you need the peace of mind of knowing that, thanks to your thorough wedding planning, your wedding dress is hanging up in your North Carolina home, completed to your satisfaction and without any last minute alterations needed.

Even if you see the wedding dress you want ready-made in a salon, your wedding planning should still allow for buying it well in advance of the day. Something that looks right on a model may not necessarily suit your figure or be comfortable to wear. By ensuring that your wedding planning takes account of the need for you to buy the dress early, you will have time to select another wedding dress if necessary or to have any required alterations carried out after trying it on.

3. Saying it with Flowers

The floral arrangements that feature in your wedding planning can be simple or elaborate, budget-friendly or expensive. If expense is no object, you can select flowers that reflect the theme of your wedding to make up your bridal bouquet and to decorate the wedding and reception venues. Otherwise, especially if you want to keep costs down while still making the most of the flowers you choose, you can ask your florist for flowers that are in season. Hiring silk flowers will also keep your wedding planning costs down.

The types of floral arrangements that a bride can carry on her wedding day are as many and varied as the list of flowers that can be bought or hired. It is a good idea as part of your wedding planning to consult with your florist about your bouquet, as its size and shape should complement the style of your wedding dress. A larger bouquet in North Carolina, for example, is more suited to a long wedding dress than a small bouquet that is usually carried with a knee-length wedding dress. A cascade arrangement, a classic style in which the flowers shape down to a point, enhances a long, formal wedding dress, while a single bloom can be carried to good effect with a shorter dress. The bride usually carries the bouquet in two hands, slightly below her waist, or across her arms, especially if it is a loosely tied, long-stemmed bouquet.

4. Wedding Invitations Set the Tone

Always an important part of wedding planning, wedding invitations can communicate not only your wish for the recipients to attend your wedding in North Carolina, but also the type of wedding it will be. Stylish, formally worded wedding invitations can set the tone for a formal church ceremony, while a more informal type of invitation would be suitable for a casual, outdoors wedding. Your wedding invitations can also reflect a particular theme or color featured at your wedding in North Carolina. If you have a creative flair, you may choose to make your own unique wedding invitations, designing them to correspond with the wedding theme. Other stationery included in your wedding planning can be chosen to harmonize with the style of wedding invitations you select. Place cards for the wedding reception and thank you notes for gifts are among the other items you will need.

Once you begin your wedding planning, the wedding invitations need to be ordered or bought as early as possible. If you are having them printed, this allows time for the correction of any mistakes and also ensures that the wedding invitations can be sent about six weeks before the wedding. They should include an RSVP date that will give you time to confirm numbers with the caterer and to arrange seating for the wedding reception in North Carolina.
