 John Lyons Couture Weddings -Online: JohnLyonsWeddings.com Take a few minutes to think about those special people in your life who will travel from afar to be with you on your wedding day. You will want to make their stay an enjoyable as well as a memorable experience.
Most out-of-town guests would prefer not to impose on those involved in your hectic wedding schedule. Make this easy for them by negotiating a group rate with a local hotel.
Most hotels give discounts for groups. Let the hotel know approximately how many rooms your guests will require. Many brides choose to send a letter or enclose an insert in their wedding invitation, to their out-of-town guests with the hotel’s special room rate and reservation number so that each guest can arrange their own accommodations. Please be sure to inform your guests that they need to contact the hotel in advance, especially if your date is during a busy summer weekend in your town. By doing so, any rooms that are not booked can be released and you will not be held accountable for them.
Remember, hotel accommodations are a special service you can provide to your guests. While allowing your guests the privacy of their own room, hotels enable them to spend time together to visit and to easily coordinate transportation to your wedding and other weekend parties.
In addition, the hotel can arrange shopping trips and recommend points of interest around your city that your guests might enjoy.

Twenty years ago there was no thought as to where a wedding and a reception would be held. The church or synagogue were the official ceremony sites and the community hall is where the partying mostly took place.
With dramatic changes in society and how things are done, today there are many more options. From yachts to sandy beaches with glimmering sunlight, to museums, zoos, wineries and county clubs; brides have more choice than their mothers could ever imagine.
Themes are also paramount in wedding planning and the sky is the limit to what uniqueness can be achieved with a good idea and out-of-the-box thinking. From Hollywood sets to medieval themes, brides and grooms-to-be are having the time of their lives matching their lifestyles and personalities to their receptions.
From florals, food, invitations and fashion, today’s weddings have taken on a whole new face. Guests marvel at the Monday morning water coolers, when they describe the weekend weddings they attended. Celebrations today are fun, unique and energizing and most definitely a treat to attend.
Now if you are a bride and thinking that all you ever wanted was a simple, traditional affair, don’t let anyone sway you.
Traditional never goes out of style and what goes around comes around. Weddings are wonderful because no two are alike and they are dictated by the families, customs and personalities of the people hosting them.
Remembering the reason to marry is to spend your life with the person you love,planning sets the stage for the life you will be living in the future. Do it your way and put the touches you want on it and it will truly be a memorable event in your life.
Wedding professionals are there to assist you in translating your dreams into realities. Ask for references and employ their services if, and only if, you feel comfortable that they can do the job you want. Ask for references and talk to people candidly about the services that they received. Based on your research you will find someone compatible and at the budget you are seeking.
We’ll be talking more aboutr budgets, trends and wedding day planning!

Just married- their way!
Brides are readjusting their expections, but not their total budget. This is the message that I keep reading on articles on the world-wide web. In spite of the economic downturn, couples are taking a hard look at the things that they want and the “frills” and deciding on the style of their special day.
If the reception is the important hot button for them, they will reduce the guest list, but not the menu. There is a refusal to compromise on what the feel is important. So bring on the bruschetta bar, the appetizers and a beautiful meal, and hold on other items, sometimes viewed as superfluous.
Some couple are so focused on a particular item, that they will forgo the favours, the fancy invitations and the bridal cake for an outdoor tented affair or a vineyard wedding. Conformity is out and individual style is definitely in.
What makes today’s weddings uniquely different is that they don’t follow the traditional template of their parents’ wedding day of year’s gone by.
Almost anything goes and each wedding is personalized with the bride and groom’s fingerprint.
You’ll find martini and sushi bars, ice cream and expresso carts, caricature artists and more at today’s celebrationsl.
Big weddings, intimate weddings, beach weddings and yacht weddings; whatever venue is chosen,speaks loudly to the couple and their lifestyle, and it’s adding flair and fun to a wedding invitation.
Bridal season is just around the corner, and with it, an adventure in the extraordinary, as couples continue the tradition and do it their unique way!
Until later,
