Im getting married on September 19, 2009 and i need some beautiful ideas. We are getting ready to start planning and buying things... Please help!!
We think the colors are going to be White and Gold. If there could be another color, what would it be?
And the men will have black on, sorry.
And the brides maid dresses?
Answer
EDIT:
First, I would recommend that you purchase a notebook. You'll need something to contain all your ideas, images, and business cards from perspective vendors. Have dividers for Wedding Ceremony (all to do with attire, attendants, prayers and other cermony details), Vendors, music, etc.
After you have made a wedding vision with your fiance', make a list of must and must nots for your wedding. This way any wrinkles (i.e. you want a bazillion bridesmaids, but he only wants one attendant) will be ironed out bfore they cause strife.
Go to places like http://theknot.com where you can set up a wedding to do list, budget, and shop for just about anything. There's also http://www.bridalfever.com.
At least a year in advance you need to have booked your major vendors like caterers and photographers.
I recommend doing your own flower areangements. go to a place like http://flowerexchange.com for good deals on all sorts of flowers. I am saving hundreds of dollars this way. A bridal bouqet of 30 to 60 stems can range from $65-$95. I'll be making my own for $27. Bridesmaids' bouquets range from 20-40 stems depending on your number or the flower type.
For centerpieces, I'm saving money on flowers by getting globes, filling them with smooth stones in my wedding colors, and adding floating candles.
Wedding planners or cooridnators can take up to 10-15% of your budget. I would suggest having a recently married friend play the role of coordinator and assitant planner. You can save money that way, and if they offer to do it for free, give them a gift as you would a bridesmaid.
I think a medium shade of red would go nicely with your chosen colors, but if you aren't sure, go to a paint store and look at their variety of paint chips to get an idea on colors.
Start looking at wedding dress styles and cuts you like, but don't order until about a ten months-year in advance. Start thinking of wedding attendants, and scouting out locations.
If you see one you and your fiance' love, put down a deposit, because locations go fast.
I have a huge liust of the little details that make a big impact (i.e. a photo guest book) so if you're interested in anything like that, email me.
I cannot stress enough the importance of setting a budget BEFORE you buy even a roll of ribbon.
Congratulations, and best of blessings =]

Great, cheap, gift ideas?
Q. Just make a list. Not just for me, but for a reference point for everyone. If you could organize them by age, gender, interest, etc. that'd be great. Most complete answer will get best answer.
