Who will sit next to whom on the wedding day?In order to make sure every thing moves smoothly,you should do a seat arrangement firstly.
Generally for wedding catering,food,itself takes up about 60 percent of wedding budget.Here comes my favorite topics,catering,all of the delicious food.(salad,desserts,roast,vegetables.)
It is very important for you to go to see the menus.Food not only should have a amazing look,it generally need to have a good taste.
Sitting down and talking about the way that the food is being cooked.You will know more about your catering.Personally,you are able to add some more beneficial elements to it.These jobs should be started 3 or 4 months before the wedding day.
Most of company have a guarantee.I recommend a sample tasting,when you have your wedding catering,you should firstly try their food.
For your big day,remember,presentation is every thing,remember that,food is also part of the show.
To prevent this from happening,you should remember to serve every guest,from the first one to the last.Make sure you have enough waiters to offer service.One server is responsible for almost 20 guests.
Most of the restaurant will choose seasonal dishes,it is one way to save budget,Doing a salad planning in winter is also an excellent idea;Another option is choosing the time of wedding date on Saturday afternoon,or Sunday evening.This wedding dress is beautiful.
Make sure your all your costs will fits your budget,when you start to budget for your wedding ceremony,you should count these small objects like tableware,glassware.
Finally,happy start and happy ending.Be nice to your vendors,cause they always will be the last for you to communicate with.

Wedding gifts for your guests always should be very thoughtful and meaningful.It is a very important etiquette to express your appreciative feeling about their present for your wedding.

Sometimes attending a wedding ceremony is very time consuming.More over,the expenses are high for being a part of your wedding.Their outfits,shoes,hair make up,traveling fees,hotel rooms and things like that.So it just will be very nice for you to send them a gift they actually will use.Some thing very funny can also be a good choice for the wedding gift.Sending unique gifts for your bridesmaids,I think they will be very happy for receiving.

When you are preparing your wedding,keep it in mind to give your bridesmaid more options for  their dresses,in selecting color and style of the dress,sufficient room should be maintained.Each person has different ideas for beauty.If you prefer one specific style,better make some inquiries firstly to confirm that they love it too.Or when you all are taking the pics,they will not going to be happy,if the bridesmaids do not like the dress at all.

The same principle,do give them more choices for making up hairs as well.The wedding dress is so great.You do not have to require every bridesmaid make their hair professionally.It is rarely needed for sorting every thing,hair,nail,or any other kinds of these details.But you should always remember to pay for that.

If you are not shy,it generally would be a good idea to just stand up and give a thank you toast at your reception to all of the guests who did attend your wedding.

Or you can also say thank you to them individually,but it may spend a long time,by contrast,for a toast,it only spends a few minutes for entire evening.

People usually ignore another important information for the wedding,treating all your vendors well.Never treat these wedding planners or others bad.Be nice for every one.


 
Now making this flower is quite easy and you can see if you look at the side here, this flower is actually made of a lot of different layers of regular circles. And I started out with a circle like this, I cut out the edges and have them melted, that's why the flower petals go up, and they become dimensional once you melt them. When I made this flower here, I have five different sizes of circles here, ranging from 7 in. to 6 in. , five inches, four and a half inches and 3 in. , the smaller the circle is, the more difficult is to melt without burning it or burning your fingers. So I wouldn't go to too much smaller, but if you want to experience with it, I hope you will be comfortable with it.

And each of this is made up of actually three circles of the same size, I will talk about that when I come to this part. Let's talk about these circles first, this is my 7 in. circle,, you can see it is not perfect, I basically used mine circle template as a guide.I love this wedding dress. And what you are going to do is to have your circles here,  then you are going to cut out the petals. Now I have found that I like a petal that is about 2 in. for the big one, and for the little flowers about one inch at the widest edge. This is about 2 in. here when I'm cutting, and I will cut all a way round, and of course I am leaving a nice center here, I don't want to cut all the way through because then my flowers will not sit together.

That is so nice of this project because you don't need to measure too much. Now you can see that I've got my flowers cut into petals, then I'm going to bring my flame in and of course my water is right here next to me, so it will be very safe. I'm going to take one petal that I'm going to melt, just one petal at a time so that you can get more control. And what I will do is to pinch the petal in the center, so that you can see the curve is going the way that I want my flower to curve, so like this curve it will go up this way and it will burn in the same way. You can also have experiment with that, and I'm just putting it close to the flame, but not too close because I don't want it to catch the fire just melting. And you can see it's now melted.

I will do this with each petal and I will do a couple of petals for you, now I'm going to do another one , you must be patient when doing this, or you may burn your fingers. Once again, pinching and melting. And I am probably about 2 in. from the flame as I melt, and also be careful when you're melting because you don't have to touch the edges that have melted right away, it cools down within a few seconds, if you touch it right away you will burn your fingers. Now you can see the difference between the petals that have melted and those that have not, you can see they're adding dimension, and how cool it is! Ok! I have just finished melting my curves, and because I pinched each of the petals the same way, each of the petals curves in the same way after it was melted. Now let's get to the part 3.

I am here today is to show you how to make this sweet rose headbands, which you can use for a headband, or a waist sash, or you can even use it to decorate your shoes. If you don't have a stripy shoe that you can attach the rose cluster to, you can just pass a ribbon through out on the top of your shoes, and then you can wrap the ribbon around your ankle and have a very attractive look, I'll show you in the next wedding dresses photo. OK! Let's get started.

Here is a hot glue gun that we need, a strip of ribbon about 5 in. long, and I have just trimmed it around the corner, here is the scissors, some ribbons of your choice, anything, it doesn't matter, whatever you would like to use. And I bought a bouquet of rose flowers to get some white flowers that I will need. So you are going to start by making a cluster of the ribbon. To make the cluster you just take out a yard of the ribbon and wind it around your fingers to form a little cluster like this, and tie it in the center with another little piece of silk fabric ribbon, try to keep it right in the center, that's how it looks.

Then you are just going to spread it out, this is what our cluster should look like. Just go ahead I'll show you how to make these clusters, we need three of them. I will then move to the white roses from the bouquet, and just going to cut off the bottom of the stem part, then I'm going to apply some hot glue, so that's going to make my little rose open up. I'll just show you in comparison to one that has not had the back removed, that is quite tight and hard, but my rose is very open up and soft, this is all what I need. Then I'm going to stamp this so that they will form a circle, I will alternate how it will go.

Then I'm going to place the rose in the center of this ribbon cluster, just place some glue, then I will set my rose centered, and that's how it looks, I'm going to make three of this. I have my five inches strip here, I will then place my 3 roses on it, then just glue them together, I am going to apply some hot glue on the strip and hold the first flower in the position that I want it to be. Then I'm going to move to the next one, I am going to place it in the position and hold it, I will do the last one also in this way. Now you have the cluster ready, you can choose to attach it on a headband with some hot glue, you can also attach it to a silk ribbon and tie around your head, or attach it to your shoes.
