Delicate closed-toe sandals are a perfect choice for a wedding, especially a summer wedding. They look pretty and rather conservative. The straps will save you from losing your shoe like Cinderella. But make sure such footwear suits your attire.

A wedding is a merry and cheerful day, obviously. But make sure you and your bridal party don’t drink too much before the wedding ceremony. It can spoil the mood of your honey, but it may also spoil your wedding photos and video footage. You’ll still have time for a good party after the ceremony, after your official wedding photoshoot and family photos. Again, these pictures will be seen by your relatives, offspring, and even outsiders (women like to show their wedding photos to anybody who’s willing to look). Drunk people don’t look good in the photos.

Actually, not always. Very often, the price is more or less the same. Why? The expenses for your wedding ceremony and reception might be lower (sometimes significantly), but you have additional expenses on getting to your wedding location (plain tickets, renting a bus, gasoline, etc).

Here is a great wedding chair decor idea – embellish your wedding furniture with white lace and fresh bouquets of flowers. Roughly-made wooden chairs that look like vintage ones or some antique tribal handmade chairs are perfect for this style of décor. And the flowers can be put in jars or simple vases with water to help them stay fresh the whole day long.

You can use exotic flowers or fruit instead of boring roses to decorate your wedding cake. It will make the dessert look more dramatic and unique. Use either candied flowers or fresh ones that will be removed right before cutting the cake.

In Indonesia and Bali, a lot of people are Muslim, so brides often wear a hijab or some other headscarf. Those Indonesian brides who don’t cover their hair with a hijab usually wear a huge and fancy gold crown. This is a royal couple in the photo, so their headdresses and jewelry are solid gold.

How to choose and decorate your wedding furniture? To make your wedding furniture more festive, you can decorate the chairs with greenery and ribbons, but don’t overdo with décor. You don’t want your wedding hall look like a jungle and your guests’ clothing getting caught by branches hanging from the chairs.

A destination wedding requires more effort and more money not only from you but from your wedding guests as well. So, you need to let them know in advance that they’ll have to travel to your wedding location. Send your save the date cards about 12 months in advance and wedding invitations 3 months before the wedding. Maybe some of your guests will have to get a piggy bank to save the money for this trip for a few months, consider such a possibility. And, of course, let people know that this will be a destination wedding as soon as possible.

If your wedding budget is far from huge and you simply can’t afford to pay for all those fancy wedding flower installations, arches, exotic table centerpieces, and so on, don’t get upset. Just pay more attention to your wedding bouquet and maybe spend more on it – make sure it’s perfect and you love it. Believe us, you won’t spend too much time observing your wedding décor but you’ll carry your bouquet all day long, so you better adore it.

This is a rather unique and lovely wedding tradition. A Swedish bride wears not 2 but 3 rings – an engagement ring, a wedding ring, and a motherhood ring. What an adorable wedding custom!

Don’t be embarrassed to use some concealer or makeup on your wedding day. There’s nothing strange about it. Men use makeup all the time – actors, newscasters, singers, etc. Skin imperfections are a usual thing, and if you have a chance to conceal a pimple that appeared right before your wedding day or any other blemish, do it. The way you look in your wedding pics is how your children and grandchildren will see you. Of course, some wedding photographers are willing to retouch the photos to get rid of any blemishes, but it might cost you extra and by far not all the shooters do it. It will be a lot easier and cheaper for you to just use a touch of makeup to achieve a perfect wedding look.
