Today’s honeymooners are often looking for unusual honeymoons. They are not looking for the “perfect” honeymoon; they are looking for a unique time and experience at their destination. Life can be hectic and planning a wedding can be stressful, so the reward for the completion of your wedding planning, is to get away together, to share some quiet time, with a lot of romance and memory-making.
 Steve Pomerleau Photography, Windsor, Ontario- will travel Traditionally, the honeymoon was the responsibility of the groom. Today, it is often a joint decision. Many couples prefer not to embark on their honeymoon immediately after the reception; but they wait until the following day or week, spending their wedding night or weekend at a nearby hotel, resort or bed and breakfast inn. This allows flexibility in planning and a less hectic schedule with some breathing space, after dealing with so many wedding details.
Making travel arrangements yourself can be frustrating and time consuming, and costly. Travel agencies are connected directly to airlines, cruise lines and resorts and can offer money-saving packages that include everything, including food and drinks. They are your best ally, but you must begin to make plans as soon as you set your wedding date.
They can also assist with destination weddings and work with the resort you’ve chosen, to accommodate all your plans. They will also assist all your guests that will be traveling to your celebration and take all the stress off everyone’s shoulders.
Ask them about a Honeymoon Registry, where your guests can contribute to your trip, in lieu of a traditional wedding gift. It is a great option and your family and guests will know that you were able to choose that truly special destination, because of their assistance.
If you are considering a cruise or tour, ask questions and make sure you will be comfortable with the age group you will be with. Resorts and cruise ships today can be geared to different age groups.
You can have a luxurious honeymoon regardless of your budget, if you plan carefully. The more time you give yourselves to plan, the better the amenities will be surrounding your honeymoon.
It is important to keep your honeymoon on a priority list. This may be the only time you get to celebrate together for many years to come. Make it a special time and one that is unforgettable for the two of you. This is your time together so relax and enjoy!
Just as you would any other legal documents for large items you purchase, such as a car or a home; be sure to have a written contract and/or a letter of commitment from each of your wedding services. This is the only way to assure that you and the service provider agree on all details. Include a departure, goods that will be delivered and time of delivery, contracted costs, overtime costs, deposits required, balance due and due date.
 Brandon Scott Photography, Windsor, Ontario- will travel If you have a list of details (such as types of flowers in each bouquet or arrangements or items to be included (like your total number of tuxedos and their sizes, that you are renting) amend the contract to include that information. Both you and the service provider should sign, and you should both have copies. The contract should clarify any price increases and clearly state that you will pay the original quoted price.
Since your reception will likely be the most costly item in your wedding budget, the contract should contain the most details. If you are purchasing a wedding “package”, make sure that all those items are specifically listed in the contract, from the exact food items and courses that will be served to the brands of liquor poured at the bar to the style of the service (white glove, full tuxedo) that will be attending to your guests during the reception.
If your reception facility is undergoing a renovation, that should be noted in your contract, along with the completion date, as well as any provisions they will make should the renovation not be completed for your day. Any special considerations for your event that are being made by the facility should be noted in your contract. For example, if they are providing table arrangements for you or they are providing extra bar during the cocktail hours, make sure the contract states that clearly.
Other services such as D.J. or limousine, invitations, catering, etc., services should provide times when events are happening and when and where they will be to service you.
Have someone bring your contracts to the wedding to answer any last minute questions or concerns. Purchasing wedding services is the same as purchasing any other item during your daily life. Any time money is exchanged and particularly when it deposits are given months before the service is delivered, it is important for both yourself and the service provider to know the terms of the sale and how it is going to be handled.

The Tuxedo was first worn in 1886, the invention of the New York dandy, and it use has evolved until it is now worn for special afternoon as well as evening events.
It’s distinguishing features are the satin lapels and the outside stripe on the trousers, and the most popular colours are black and various shades of gray. At contemporary weddings, men often wear cummerbunds and bow ties in colours and sometimes metallic or iridescent fabrics. Bow ties are a very popular men’s fashion accessory that are making a huge comeback.
 Trevor Booth Photography, Windsor, Ontario- will travel Most formal for daytime weddings, before 6 p.m., is the cutaway coat with its grey vest, and striped gray and black trousers.
Black full dress is the most formal of evening wear, although sometimes it is worn for daytime weddings in colours or white. The collar is very formal, with a white tie, and the vest should never be seen below the edge of the coat.
On all formal wear, studs with inset stone are used instead of buttons. The shirt also requires cuff links. Since the trousers are worn high above the waist, suspenders are another necessity as well as the black dress shoes.
When choosing the groom’s wedding attire some guidelines are in place. The formal wear chosen should not clash with the colours the bride has chosen. Today’s weddings see the colour coordination of fashion in tandem with the them and colour of the wedding.
The groom’s attire should never upstage the bridal gown, but complement it; it’s a nice touch for all the photography that will take place during the day and it gives a special feeling to your commitment. Given that a bride spends so much time and energy finding the “gown of her dreams,” the groom should be dressed in a tuxedo, taking his place beside her, looking the best he possibly can. Your wedding day is not an ordinary day. Dress the part and share the excitement of special.
Experienced wedding planners also suggest that someone in the bridal party bring an emergency pair of men’s black socks. Groomsmen have been known to show up in white socks!
There aren’t many milestones in life and on your wedding day, spend the money and rent or buy that tuxedo to celebrate this very special day of days. You don’t have the luxury of going back and doing it again and you will be guaranteed that the two of you will look like a million dollars!
Flowers will play an important role in making your wedding day an event to remember. You will visit more than one bridal salon and certainly try on more than one style of dress while looking for your wedding gown. Selecting your florist and flowers deserves the same attention.
When choosing a florist, look for a wedding specialist. Your florist should insist on a picture (or description) of your gown, your attendants’ dresses, as well as a fabric swatch of your colour theme. The florist, having seen the picture or sketches of the gowns, hould be able to recommend a suitable size and shape of bouquet that will not interfere with the detailing of the gowns. Remember; a bouquet should enhance the gowns, not overpower them.
 Steve Pomerleau Photography, Windsor, Ontario- will travel If a florist “pushes” a particular style on you, ask yourself if that florist really has your best interests in mind. All too often, such bouquets are common, easily duplicated, and highly profitable for the vendor. At this point, you may wish to consider another florist. The florist who seems to best understand your wishes and with whom you feel the most comfortable, should be the one to win your business.
Also, be aware of the “invisible flower syndrome”; traditionally the bride’s bouquet was composed of white flowers. Unfortunately, a bride carrying a white bouquet and wearing a white gown has paid for an invisible floral accessory. This becomes particularly apparent in wedding photographs. To avoid this, add coloured flowers and/or assorted greens to create a contrast.
