3.) A wedding cake or cupcakes etc to celebrate the unity of the two of you. Something memorable to take pictures of you two cutting or eating. It can be a cake that is real, fake or a bit of both. If real it can be frozen for up to a year if done properly and the two of you can eat it again on your first wedding anniversary. How memorable!

Consider which flowers are in season during the time your wedding will take place so that you can choose a lot of beautiful flowers, while not paying extra for ones that are not in season.
6.) This vendor is extremely important and will be entertaining your guests throughout the evening. Make sure that you a diligent when choosing a DJ or Band for your wedding. Visit the vendor while performing at another occasion to see how they interact and entertain guests. Ask for references, how long their company has been in business, how many years of experience will the DJ or band that will be playing your wedding have? No reputable company will have a problem ensuring all of your questions and concerns are met.
7.) It is a fact that people love to receive gifts, why would your guests be any different. A nice gift or token of appreciation should be given out as a thank you to your guests to make your wedding even more memorable for years to come.

9.) The choices of this next vendor will impact on how you see your wedding for years to come. Photography and Videography are crucial if you want to preserve your wedding day for generations to come. Find out if they are a reputable company, how professional do they seem? Can they show you some of their recent work and different styles of work. Are their prices comparable to the industries?

10.) Last but not least every wedding needs to have fun! Truly enjoy yourselves and take in every moment. Have fun, dance, laugh, take pictures, take to your guests that have come to witness this very special day. A lot of the brides I work with worry about the little things during their wedding. This is the wrong approach. If the bride and groom do not look like they are enjoying themselves, neither will any of the wedding guests! Remember this day will come and go and only you can determine how it will be remembered! I hope your wedding day leaves you tickled with happiness for years to come!
