The importance of music in your wedding order of service

Filed under: Wedding Order of Service — Diane @ 9:00 am

There’s no denying that there is a lot of preparation that goes into a wedding. From deciding on that dress, to arguing over the perfect venue, there is so much to do and never enough time to do it in.

One of the most important things to get into place at an early stage though is the wedding order of service, particularly if you are opting for a church wedding. This tells you, as well as the guests, exactly how the service is going to run. It gives the guests an idea of when they become involved in the ceremony with hymns or photographs and ensures that the entire thing runs smoothly.

But one of the most important aspects to consider when planning your wedding is the music. The music can completely transform your wedding and really set the tone and atmosphere for the whole day.

It may be that you already have the hymns you would like in mind. But if you are struggling for inspiration, then ask for copies of the hymn book from your minister. You may wish to opt for familiar hymns to make your guests more comfortable.

You may wish to use a choir to enhance the sound of the music during your ceremony. This will all need to be discussed when you are deciding on your wedding order of service.

Disposable wedding cameras are great for the reception

Filed under: Disposable Wedding Cameras — Diane @ 9:00 am

The world of photography has been taken over by digital gadgets and gizmos that can offer flawless photographs.

But there are still occasions where disposable cameras can create the best results. For example, at the reception of a wedding, disposable wedding cameras can be a great idea.

The idea is to put a certain number of disposable cameras on each table at the reception. The guests are then free to use the cameras to take pictures and record the evening’s celebrations.

These disposable cameras are more advanced than they used to be and with the use of a flash, they can produce some stunning pictures, evening at the evening celebrations where there is a lck of light.

The disposable wedding cameras capture the moments that the official photographer will miss. They will capture the true spirit and essence of the celebrations.

And the best thing about these cameras is that the photographs produced by them will be a complete surprise to the bride and groom. The wedding guests will have been left to take the pictures and then once they are processed, the couple can see exactly what happened when they weren’t around.

Table seating plans and wedding place names

Filed under: Wedding Place Cards, Wedding Table Plan — Diane @ 12:09 pm

Many people now decide to name the tables at their wedding instead of using a numbering system. A numbering system can unfortunately induce overtones of a hierarchy system, with those on table one being the most important guests and those on higher numbers the least important.

Many people choose table names that mean something too them, perhaps places they have visited over the years or favourite colours or even funny phrases or sayings. This is a great way to interact with your guests and can be a real talking point, especially if the guests who are sitting together have not met before.

Using wedding place cards you can organise your seating arrangement perfectly and can keep the theme of your wedding on the same lines as your invitations and save the date cards. Place cards can be popped onto the seat place in order to avoid confusion after the guests have initially looked at the table plan at the entrance to the wedding breakfast room.

Using table place names you can choose who you want to seat together so can avoid potential conflicts of personality and so make the day run smoothly
