The Wedding invitations

• Match the colours, textures and patterns on your wedding card to reflect the wedding decor, wedding outfits or even the theme.
• Always have a set of extra cards on hand after making the final wedding guest list to accommodate unexpected guests.
• Get those adorable pre-wedding photos clicked beforehand to get the digital invites looking on point.
• Use artefacts for an added theatre-like custom-made jewelled treasure boxes that contain invitation scrolls with customized keepsakes, large breakable shells of chocolate enclosing invitations and a hammer with the wedding details engraved, or even customized little barrel-like wooden boxes containing mini champagne bottles with invites on the label. Don’t forget personal invite gifts for the bridesmaids or best man.

The Wedding Altar

You might find yourself overwhelmed by the number of styles, designs and layouts that could go into making a fabulous wedding altar. Here are some of the key tips to making the space look absolutely smashing for the wedding preparation.

• The same stage-space can be used for different wedding functions by just changing out the seating arrangement and the decor. Use real flower arrangements to adorn the outdoor set up during day and add dazzling fairy lights hanging from a tall canopy space to make it look enchanting by night.
• Always keep tabs on the weather forecast for an outdoor function as a part of your wedding preparation. Make sure to have ample seating surrounding the main altar and have the dance floor near-by too.
• If you are planning to have an indoor altar, you can make it look simply tremendous with chandeliers or candles elevating the entire mood and splendid decor to match.

The wedding wardrobe

The wedding outfit reveal is something that everyone looks forward to. Here are some tips to ensure you'll have a glorious wedding wardrobe that will have everyone enraptured.

• If you are going for custom-made outfits or jewellery from the top designers in the market for each of the wedding functions, make sure to book your styling and fitting sessions well in advance to get slots.
• After your final outfits have arrived, keep them locked away for the next couple of days until the ceremony to avoid buyer’s remorse or any second thoughts.
• When you pick your looks, make sure to coordinate the theme with your significant other to have dashing photo shoots and wedding looks.

The Wedding Performances

Though not everyone can afford to stage a performance by Beyonce Knowles at their wedding functions, you can still have great performances at your wedding bash with friends and family!

• Get the little ones lined up to take centre stage and have everyone floored with their adorable dance moves practised as part of the wedding preparation.
• A special dance by the bridesmaids is a must-have and the bride/groom can join too to rock out to a number dedicated for their better half.
• Join the bride and groom for a must-have slow dance tune that’s perfect for couples to jam out to and get some beautiful photos captured.
• You can always reach out to local bands artists and performers to jazz up the evening with live music and mini-concerts with videos playing for the guests as well.
