Unique Color Ideas

With so many wedding magazines, television shows, and friends getting married, how in the world are you to make your wedding unique and different from all the rest?

Here are a few fresh color combinations to consider:

Spring: Navy blue and orange. Have pops of white against the navy, which always makes for a striking comparison with lots of fresh orange flowers.

Summer: Turquoise and pink. Play around with the fact that its hot and sunny out by using vibrant colors that are sure to make a statement!

Fall: Purple and silver. This is a color combo that you will want to be careful that you don’t take too far. If you’re having an outside wedding, the luscious natural green background with the purple and silver accents will look stunning.

Winter: Forrest green and chocolate brown. Bring the outside inside with this natural and organic color combination. Make sure your reception is lowly lit with lots of candles and chandeliers.

Make sure your wedding represents you and your husband, if you both hate pink, please, don’t have pink as your main color. Remember, it is your wedding and at the end of the day you need to make sure your doing what makes you happy, even if your best friend just stole your dream wedding color combo.

Important questions to ask your ceremony and reception venue

Planning a wedding can be stressful, so stressful in fact, that you may forget to ask some important questions when interviewing your vendors. Here are some important questions you should make sure you ask:

What's the cancellation policy?
What is the maximum they can accommodate? (Whatever number they provide, I would take off 5% just to be cautious.)
Do they have an in-house caterer, and do you like that food?
Is there a separate facility for the ceremony and reception? If so, will the same chairs be used and how long will it take to break down the ceremony site?
Do they have adequate bathroom facilities?
What is the maximum amount of time the room can be rented for? Is there a cut off time?
Will they have another wedding scheduled the same day?
Is the wedding venue wheelchair accessible?
Is there a payment schedule?
What kind of deposits are required?
What are the overtime charges?
Do they have a liquor license?
Will they allow you to bring your own liquor?
Is there room in the wedding venue for a band and/or dancing?
How early can your vendors arrive to set up? When/how late can they be there to break down?
Does the wedding venue already own a sound system with adequate speakers or will that need to be rented?
Is there a space for the bride and groom to change and/or relax?
Where can your guests park? Are there extra fees for parking? Do they have valet parking?
Are candles or other open flames allowed?
If its an outdoor location, do they have any backup plans for rain or other inclement weather? If not, is there a place that you can put up a tent?

Make sure you ask all the questions on your mind. There isn’t such thing as being too prepared.
