4 Wedding Items To Buy At Least 4 Months Before The Big Day

If your wedding is on the horizon, times are probably as stressful as they are exciting right now! Here are four important items you need to buy at least four months before you wedding. Read on to find out what they are. Untitled

Your wedding rings

Jewellery shop owners often report couples coming in two or three days before their wedding to buy their wedding rings. And, in some cases, they leave disappointed. This is because some wedding rings have to be ordered, and can take up to eight weeks to be ready for collection! Cutting it fine when it’s something so important is not a wise decision. Start shopping around for rings at least four months before the wedding. This gives you lots of time to try on different styles and to get your favourite one ordered. Don’t just look in-store, mind. Look online too. They can sometimes offer faster delivery, such as 2-3 weeks, like with these Tacori wedding rings.

We became pretty inseparable after that!On May 19th, 2013 after two years of dating, he popped the question at the end of my parent’s dock on John’s Island- one of our favorite places to spend time.

How To Put Together Your Wedding Theme

We all dream of a beautiful wedding that looks stunning. Most of us have an idea for a theme that will help highlight our wedding. After all, we want a little style and personality in there too. There are many parts of the wedding that can be tailored to suit your personal tastes. It’s not all about the dress after all.

Start at the beginning. The venue you choose will have a certain classical style of its own. You may have chosen it because you love the shape of the windows or the attractiveness of the gardens. Colour and shape are important parts of any theme you choose. Many people choose hearts, but you can choose shapes of a Celtic origin or even chic scrolls.

The most popular colours for this year are mint green and powder blue. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you picking colours that mean something to you both. Or you could choose a colour that is prominent at your wedding venue. Once this is booked, it’s time to order the wedding invitations. If you have a look at these DIY wedding invitations you may also find a reference to your preferred shape too.

Perfect Pastels: Alicia & Pat

Inglewood Gold Club Wedding. mint. Blush. Seattle Wedding PHotogFrom the bride, “They say the day is about the bride, or all about the couple getting married, but we truly felt like it was much more than that. Our wedding day was about joining two families and surrounding ourselves with lifelong friends. We included all of our siblings in the wedding party, which made it so special. More importantly, instead of eating dinner with our bridal party, we decided to sit with both our parents and my grandmother. We are sad to say that this was our last dinner with Pat’s father, as he suddenly passed the following morning. We look back and realize that this was the best decision we had ever made, and are forever grateful that we went with our hearts and not with the trends or traditions.

The biggest advice I can give to future brides is that there is absolutely no right or wrong way to do a wedding. Read the blogs, grab the magazines, listen to those who have done it and take it all in, but then take a step back and decide what is meaningful to you as a couple and make it your own.”
