The wedding professionals will all agree- if you are on time and you adhere to a schedule, you will avoid most wedding day hiccups. When you or someone in the wedding party is late, it can start a string of events that will throw everything off schedule for the entire day.
If your wedding starts late, the food may get cold. guests get impatient, and there will inevitably be something that will be hurried or completely eliminated.
To save some on food costs and a simpler evening, host a late night wedding with champagne, dessert carts and a coffee bar. Marry at an elegant hour like 7 p.m. and following your nuptials, celebrate with dancing and decadent sweets and wedding cake. The entire evening is still ahead of you,but the food costs are lower and the feel of the evening is very sophisticated. This is a simple style, but very elegant!
Or hold a morning ceremony with a over-the-top brunch. Your food and alcohol costs will be less and your honoured guests won’t mind the early scheduling.
For an outdoor summer wedding offer punch and other non-alcoholic libations as the guests arrive. Typically they are thirsty and you can offer a toast post-ceremony with champagne cocktails or sparkling wine.

Taking your photographs first thing in the morning when your make-up and hair are fresh. You and your attendants should meet with an Image Consultant or a Make-up professional, well before the wedding day. They can make suggestions that will make your photography more flattering and eliminates any late minute surprises.
Not meeting with a consultant is like waiting to try on your beautiful gown the day of the wedding!
