How To Project Manage Your Wedding

Sarah Schelbach — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:16:04 +0000

Planning a wedding can be a tremendous project, especially if you plan on taking care of the details yourself. But it can be done, especially if you treat the entire wedding as you would any other long-term project, and use some of these very handy tips for staying on top of your to-do list.

The Core of Your Project

Meet your new best friend. He is a 2-inch round-ring binder. You can buy him at any office supply store and he is going to escort you everywhere you go. Yes, I know, it may seem simpler to put everything in your computer, or even to purchase a software package designed especially for bridal planning, but believe me, the binder is the better option.

You may suddenly be called upon at odd times or in odd places to come up with information on something (confirmation numbers, reservation numbers, total guest list numbers, emergency contact information etc.) that you do not have access to. You may not even be anywhere near a computer to access your information. So a binder it is.

Purchase a package of 12 tabs and even zipper pockets for receipts and other paperwork. Each tab is going to be set up for a different section of your wedding; ceremony, reception, guest list, dresses & tuxes, flowers, food, music etc. In the front you will have your timeline/schedule of when each of the things that needs to be done should be done. In the back you will have extra paper and a portable three-hole punch (the kind that high school students use for their homework). You will most likely find that you will have sub-lists inside of each section of your binder as your plans start to come together.

Make sure that you have a zipper pocket with pens, pencils and erasers in it, as you are going to be doing a lot of writing. As you begin to accumulate ideas and vendor names, receipts and other paperwork, make sure that they get put in their binders (or at least copies of the paperwork get put in the binders). Keep the originals in a safe place so that they do not get lost.

Find An Online Resource Centre

The internet is a tremendous tool, and online wedding sites that give you checklists and timelines as well as guest list managers and gift trackers can offer you any number of tools to help you planning your wedding AND stay within budget. These tools (and the charts, lists and graphs they generate) can work wonders for helping you to organize your wedding binder.

Plan For A Weekly Checkup

If you have others helping you with the planning of your wedding, make sure that you schedule a weekly checkup. Have it at a café or at your own house, but make sure that everyone brings in what they’ve accomplished that week and gets you up to speed on what they are working on now. Even if you are doing everything yourself, sitting down once a week with someone who is willing to double check things with you is a good idea (the maid of honor is a great choice for this) for they may be able to see things that you have missed.

Communication Is Key

Whether it is calling to confirm a reservation or double-checking with the baker to make sure that the cake is going to be done and delivered to the reception hall at the time you’ve requested, communication is the key to managing your wedding. Never assume that people are doing what you have asked them to do, always double check, as it will save you plenty of headaches later on down the line.

And finally, always plan for things to take longer than your list or the vendor themselves tells you they will. Things happen, and if you have budgeted your time too thin, you could end up scrambling at the last minute. Give yourself plenty of time to get everything done, and you will find yourself with fewer headaches as you approach the big day.

Wedding Reception Venues Brisbane & Sydney

Sarah Schelbach — Mon, 14 May 2012 00:15:18 +0000

This is your opportunity to spoil your guests by wining and dining them and putting on a party of a lifetime! To ensure the reception is nothing short of fantastic start planning now!

Decide on style

There are as many different styles of reception as there are hours in the day.

Your style will depend on:

The number of guests
The atmosphere you want to create
The number of formailities
Type of food
Time of day and serving style
- - Sunset wedding followed by pre-dinner cocktails?
- - Formal sit-down dinner and dancing?
- - Buffet or informal dinner?
- - Breakfast?
- - Brunch?
- - Lunch cocktail party?
- - Afternoon tea?
The venue you choose will follow from these decisions.

Choosing the perfect venue

You need to find a venue that expresses your individuality and has the atmosphere you believe best suits your style. Some of your options include:

Four- and five-star hotels
Function centres
Clubs
Restaurants
Sporting venues
Historic buildings
Halls
Cultural venues
Galleries
Museums
National Parks
Gardens
Beaches
Yachts
Marquees
Vineyards
Backyards
And even the zoo

Before you choose:

Ask friends and family for suggestions
Get recommendations from wedding professionals
Flick through Modern Wedding magazine
Check out some of our venues online
Save venues to your scrapbook
Visit their websites
Call the Function Coordinator and ask for a wedding kit
Make a shortlist

Always make an appointment before going to visit a venue. The venue operator should give you a tour, show you menus and tell you about different packages. After you have made your appointment go through our venue checklist and ensure that your possible venue makes the cut.

Whether in Brisbane or Sydney - this directory will hep you discover your perfect venue.

Venue catering

If your venue is providing the catering for your reception, ensure that their caterers can meet your needs. Ask a few questions before you sign the hire contract:

What sort of functions do they cater – cocktail dos, formal a la carte dinners, exotic cuisines, dinner dances?
Are there minimum and maximum numbers for catering?
What are their per head costs?
Can you sample the dishes on the menu beforehand?
How much say can you have over menus, ingredients, presentation and service?
Can you get references from previous clients re the catering?
Will they allow you to come in and look at a function room set up for a dinner or party similar in style to your own?
Can they also provide dinnerware, glassware, table linen, and table decorations?
Do they provide the serving staff and their uniforms?
Are they able to accommodate themed food, presentation?
Can you organise your own floral arrangements?

Outdoor venues

Hosting your party outdoors makes sense if the weather’s warm and you have a lot of guests. But you can’t just set up a party anywhere. You need to consider a number of factors:

Site facilities – are there toilets, shelters, play areas, walkways?
Can guests park nearby, or is there easy access to taxis or public transport?
Is the site easy to find/get to?
Are there any restrictions with respect to maximum numbers, opening and closing times, fire, or erecting staging, marquees and lights?
Are there noise restrictions?
Is the site safe and child-friendly?
Are the grounds reasonably level?
Are there any biting or food-grabbing animals in evidence (e.g. bull ants, seagulls, emus, kookaburras)?
Does the site have good disabled access and facilities?

The fine print

Once you decide on a venue,

Get all the details of the package in writing – signed, witnessed and dated.
Include overtime rates, inclusions and exclusions, restrictions, special conditions, cancellation fees and conditions, and the payment schedule.

You’ve chosen well and negotiated a great package. Now that your reception space is perfect, you can start planning!

The Best Wedding Photography How To Techniques

Sarah Schelbach — Thu, 10 May 2012 23:57:11 +0000

Since the recent introduction of many popular photography schools and training programs, there has been an increase in interest as well as opportunity for many aspiring photographers to learn the best wedding photography how to techniques.This increase in interest has also made wedding photography less expensive and much easier for the average person to do.

For those who are interested in learning the best wedding photography techniques for both professionals and amateurs, here are the top five techniques to help you achieve beautiful wedding photographs.

However before we talk about the photography techniques may we just say, that you can never replace a professional wedding photographer who is specialised in their field and talent. So our suggestion is not to ask a friend to do your photography (unless they are a professional). Stick to the ones that know photography best and you won’t be disappointed with your end result.

So where were we?…

1. The Blend of Colors and Light.

Learn how to combine the colors and intensity of the brightness and blend the colors and light together to create the desired result of the photo. Too much light as well as other distracting colors may decrease the photo quality, leading to poor resolution. While this may be fixable using Photoshop, the photograph should be at its highest quality before being touched up with an external computer software.

2. The Camera Angle.

It is also important to find the proper camera angle; many professional photographers prefer the 45 degree angle from below, as it is perfect for a clearer and more attractive photograph. Practice with the couple before the big day, and find out each person’s best angle and most natural poses as well.

3. The Background Choice.

Having the perfect wedding photographs depends highly on the type of background that is chosen. Brainstorm with the bride and groom as to what type of background will make the wedding photo stand-out. In addition, consider taking pre-nuptial shots, inviting the couple to pose in several different spots in order to find the perfect background.

4. The Camera Setting.

Know your camera settings, and how to use them. Make sure to set up the camera to the appropriate setting before the wedding. Indoor weddings require different settings than outdoor weddings, as there is a different light source. Also moving objects and still objects need different settings as well.

5. The Position.

Knowing how to display the subject will affect the photo quality tremendously. It is important to always observe the organization as well as proper subject arrangement before taking the picture. Amateur photographers can arrange the subjects in the wedding photo by size, height or color. Professional photographers, or those who are highly skilled, can combine subjects, vary the subject positions, and use different arrangements to come up with the best possible wedding photographs.

Having poor photo quality in wedding pictures is every bride’s worst nightmare. Make sure proper research is done prior to the wedding day, and practice with the bride and groom in various backgrounds, with different angles and settings in order to achieve the desired effect.

Essential Wedding Formal Wear Tips For The Groom

Sarah Schelbach — Thu, 10 May 2012 04:33:48 +0000

A groom’s suit or tuxedo is just as important as the bride’s gown. Black is normally the most popular as it’s very flattering to the groom and is easily dressed up or down depending on the theme of the wedding.

You may wish to go with a white grooms suit or tuxedo which is a good option for warmer weather. If you decide on a white suit you will need to take into consideration the colour of the bridal gown. If your beautiful bride-to-be is wearing ivory or champagne the last thing you would want to wear is a white suit. You may then opt for a caramel or tan to suit the theme better.

Suits and tuxedos are worn by grooms as well as ushers and groomsmen, if the grooms desire. It is important to keep in mind that the styles of these suits are complementing the groom’s appearance and not overshadowing it.

Selection of a wedding formal wear tuxedo becomes simple, once individuals understand the basic types of groom’s tuxedo and formality of the event. Bridegrooms can then add the matching accessories complementing the groom’s tuxedo.

Selection Tips:

Selecting the best groom’s tuxedo is as challenging as selecting the gown for a bride, which is a standard wedding formal wear for a bride.

Here are some tips to help people select fine grooms tuxedo, as per the wedding formal wear requirement:

Semi-formal weddings: In case, if the wedding is scheduled during daytime, best grooms tuxedo options are black or dark grey sack coat, grey waistcoat, long necktie, off-white or white pleated shirt and black formal shoes. If the wedding is in the evening then select a dark grooms tuxedo, white shirt and matching shoes. In case of summer and winter weddings, select light colour or perhaps a navy colour wedding formal wear grooms tuxedo, white shirt, matching shoes and long tie.

Formal weddings: If it’s a daytime wedding then wear a black or grey groom tuxedo with gray stripy trousers and patent black leather shoes as your wedding formal wear. For an evening wedding, wear black tailcoat groom’s tuxedo with coordinating trousers, white shirt, white bowtie, and black wedding formal wear shoes.

While choosing the appropriate wedding formal wear groom’s tuxedo, it is important to consider the scheduled time of the event, formality of occasion as well as dress requisites mentioned on wedding invitations. Groom’s tuxedo wedding formal wear decided by an individual can be both a simple tuxedo and an elegant one.

Pay heed to the coloor issue while purchasing a grooms’ tuxedo. Grey or black wedding formal wear offers timeless grace. For adding a tinge of color, accentuate the appearance with colored vest, cummerbund or pocket square.

White groom tuxedos are suitable only for a few tropical climates and hence, it is better to shun them. Pastel coloured groom tuxedos are again introducing in the market, but it is better to avoid them as wedding formal wear.

How To Organise A Successful Wollongong Wedding

Sarah Schelbach — Tue, 08 May 2012 23:45:39 +0000

Organising a Wollongong wedding is not as difficult as many people believe, as long as you ensure you plan well in advance. Couples who fail to plan and/or do not give themselves enough time to prepare often quickly find themselves in a wedding disaster. There are many decisions to make such as whether to use the Kinanny Resort for wedding venues in Wollongong or not, and which professional services should be hired. Before actually booking venues or hiring professionals, make sure you and your partner determine a budget and make a list of all the important aspects of your wedding. Doing so will ensure you and your partner are on the same page as it pertains to budget, and the overall theme and vision of the wedding.

Getting Organized

Next you will want to get your partners attention and either create a spreadsheet, word document, or write down everything about your wedding. Every single detail should be mentioned. Even those which seem insignificant, as often the smallest little detail can snowball into a larger problem if not taken care of immediately. Keep in mind all details such as the number of guests you would like to invite, what type of food, whether alcohol will be permitted or not, if you will hire a DJ or if you will search for wedding music Wollongong in the search engines such as the Duck and Cover Band, the venue and venue costs and what you would like the room to look like when set up.

The Wedding Reception

Wollongong wedding receptions are often done through City Beach Function Centre, as it is a beautiful venue; however there are a few others that you may want to consider. Unfortunately the venue is a large budget eater and can also determine how many guests you will be able to have at the venue. This is why careful planning is important.

Since there are so many different areas to consider, it is important to create this list in advance. Doing so will ensure that you have enough time to prepare for the wedding. For example, if you are considering hiring a caterer, you will need to taste the food in advance which may take weeks to do, depending on how busy or how booked the caterer is. The Red Kitchen is an example of a high quality catering company which books quickly; therefore it is important to call them right away to save the date.

Creating Memories

Photography is one of the most important aspects of the wedding for many brides. Wollongong wedding photographers such as Diamond Photo and Video also book up fast, therefore it is important to allow yourself enough time to see their portfolio and make a decision before they are booked.

Organising a Wollongong wedding does not have to be difficult or stressful. The key is to ensure you give yourself ample time to prepare, and budget extra time in case mistakes are made, or in case the worst-case scenario occurs. By doing so you will ensure your engagement period is fun and exciting, and you will have a perfectly planned wedding.

If you are considering a Gold Coast wedding, here as some reasons as to why you should choose it as your wedding destination.

Wedding Dress Bridal Gowns For The Perfect Wedding

Sarah Schelbach — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 04:44:28 +0000

Although the majority of women have been planning their wedding day since they were little girls, most women have a difficult time finding the perfect wedding dress. Shopping for the perfect wedding dress can be emotionally exhausting, especially for the majority of women who do not have a “model body” as most women try to achieve this look on the biggest day of their lives. For women who are looking for wedding dress bridal gowns for the perfect wedding, it is important to keep your body type in mind.

Find Your Wedding Dress Supplier Right Here On Wedding House!

Before you keep reading, did you know that Wedding House has a listing of Wedding Music Specialists from all around Australia. Why not take the next 5 minutes and find your wedding dress & bridal wear suppliers right here.

Here are some ideas to find a dress that will compliment your body type perfectly.

Petite Brides: Smaller, more petite brides should consider a modified A-line dress, trumpet, or a sheath dress. Wedding dresses which contain waistlines above the actual waist will give the appearance of long legs. Types of wedding dresses to stay away from include dresses with a lot of detail on the skirt, as well as ball gowns, dropped waist lines, and dresses which contain calf-length skirts.

Tall Brides: Although some taller women may find their height to be sexy, others are self-conscious of their height. Women who are statuesque should shop for a simple silhouette. It is recommended that all tall brides avoid ruffles, bows, and beading, as this proves to be unflattering. Dresses that feature a low waistline will make the torso appear longer, and offer a more conservative look.

Small-Chested Brides: Many small chested women are self-conscious about their busts, and therefore finding the right dress to perfectly compliment features is essential. Some women choose to find a good push up bra, however there are other options. Consider purchasing a wedding dress that contains a ruched bodice, or a dress with a lightly padded halter. With these types of wedding dresses, the extra fabric fills out the upper body and makes the bust seem larger.

Large-Chested Brides: Brides who consider themselves to be large chested should consider a dress with a scooped neckline. This type of neckline will bring attention to your face while displaying your features in a tasteful manner.

Plus-Size Brides: Often women who are considered plus size have a difficult time finding a wedding dress because many floor samples are too small, which ultimately narrows down the choices. For those who need to look in a catalog and order some samples, search for an A-line dress with an empire waistline that starts right below the bust. These types of dresses will give great looking curves, compliment features and give the perfect look.

For those still looking for their wedding dress bridal gowns for the perfect wedding, following these guidelines as it pertains to body type will help ensure the perfect look and will also provide optimal comfort on the big day.

Choosing The Right Adelaide Wedding Videographer

Sarah Schelbach — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:14:26 +0000

So you know that you want a wedding video. Choosing someone that’s up to it is another matter.

Here are 10 things to consider when choosing the right Adelaide Wedding Videographer for you.

1. THE TEAM:

You should be able to meet with the team who will be filming your event. This will give you a good idea if they are right for you. Don’t forget you will be seeing plenty of them during your big day so if you have a connection it can make all the difference. Also check the attire of the team. Many videographers dress to impress as they will blend in nicely, but a scruffy team will stand out and may be an unwanted distraction. Videographers should be as unobtrusive as possible. They are there to capture the special moments in a discreet manner.

2. THE STYLE:

Find out what style each company offers. Are they documentary or movie style? Will they give you 2 hours or 20 minutes? Choose a company that suits your requirements.

3. THE VIDEO:

If you visit a company that don’t offer high definition video or only offer a wedding on vhs then it may be worth shopping around a little more. Companies who are serious about their business will offer Blu-ray or DVD as the format for delivery. Find out if they film in high definition widescreen with surround sound. If so you’re on the right track.

4. THE CAMERA POSITIONING:

Speaks for itself really. Ask how many cameras are used and where they will be positioned. Adding an extra camera gives your wedding more interest for the viewer and can also capture reactions from the audience during the ceremony and speeches.

5. THE AUDIO:

We all love movies and we’d all love them a lot less if Hollywood didn’t put any effort into sound production. Wedding videos should be no different. a wireless microphone is a must for capturing the vows of bride and groom. The on-camera microphone cannot capture those special moments by itself. Spielberg doesn’t do it. The speeches also need to be captured with clear crisp audio. There are various methods to do this so make sure you check with a potential videographer on how they are covering it and indeed if they have a backup.

6. THE EXAMPLES:

Wedding Videographers should have work they can show you. For many a viewing of a company demo gives the insight needed to confirm the recommendation from a friend or family member. Others like to view all the chapters of a DVD so they know how their wedding will look. For a brief glimpse, a trip to a companies website is all that is needed (Any website related to video production must surely have some video content on their site) If a more detailed look at the content of a finished article is needed then an appointment with the team will usually be booked in.

7. THE WEBSITE:

The website is normally the first point of contact so the quality and content of any company may give you an idea about how serious they are and as to whether they are right for you. As previously mentioned there is no reason a wedding video company shouldn’t have examples for you to view on-line. The website should have a list of packages and a simple contact form so more information can be requested.

8. THE PHOTOGRAPHER:

Ask about how the videographer retains a good working relationship with the photographer. These are two companies who will be there to get the best view of proceedings and it is important they have a good relationship throughout the day. Strong fiery characters fighting for position and the attention of the couple may clash so do your homework.

9. THE PACKAGES:

Many companies offer different packages to suit your budget. Remember you get what you pay for so if you want to find the guy/girl with the lowest price you may not get award winning video production but if you find someone who tick all the boxes and will provide you with a quality product then it’s worth the investment for a lifetime of memories.

10. THE DELIVERY:

Find out how the DVD/Blu-Ray will be delivered. Will it be a box in the post of a hand delivered gift basket? After all the time you spend with your videographer during the wedding process it can be a great touch to have them personally deliver you wedding to you.
