Wedding Goals

-



Welcome to our very first Blog Hop for 2015!


This month we want to help you start the year off by getting organized as you’re planning your wedding or event. Get ready for some great ideas to help you reduce stress and enjoy the planning process as you move along through the blog hop.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Christine Ringuette at Down The Aisle Wedding Planning & Design on Natalie’s Blog Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you make sure to see and learn from all of the articles featured here today.
Today I will ask that you and your fiancé think about your wedding goals.

He popped the big question and now you are engaged!  First things first! Grab some paper and a pen and your fiancé . Below are a few questions that you will need to consider before making any final decisions regarding purchases and vendors.

WHAT ARE YOUR WEDDING GOALS?
©      What kind of atmosphere are you trying to achieve? Formal? Traditional? Casual? {Would you like for your guests to arrive in Ball gowns and Tuxedos or will Sunday's best work for you}
©      Will the ceremony be during the day or at night? Formal or casual? Indoors or outdoors?
©      Do you want a party atmosphere with a rock band?  Or do you see a more traditional affair, with an orchestra at the beginning of the evening and a DJ later on?
©      Is the reception going to offer a buffet and passed hors d’oeuvres, or will there be a seated luncheon or dinner?
©      What kind of wedding party do you envision? Bridesmaids/Groomsmen? Or do you envision just you and your significant other standing at the altar?
©      How do you see the wedding weekend progressing? Is it just about the ceremony & reception, or is it about enjoying time with your family and friends?
©      Will there be parties and events throughout the weekend? Bridal Shower, Bachelor/Bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, post-wedding brunch?
When answering the above questions, be open-minded and honest. Be sure to listen to your partner and respect their thoughts. Once your wedding goals are aligned, it is time to set your wedding budget!
 
Congratulations and Best Wishes!

WEDDING RECEPTION FOOD TERMS (via: www.weddingsforaliving.com ) ANTIPASTO: (“before the meal”) traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Unlike hors d’oeuvres, antipasto is served at the table and traditionally consists of cured meats, marinated vegetables and cheeses. BUFFET : Casual way to serve a large group of guests; a variety of dishes displayed on tables that guests can pick and choose from. Typically doesn’t work for venues with numerous small rooms. FAMILY STYLE: Platters of food are placed at each table. Wedding guests help themselves and pass the food around to one another. FRENCH SERVICE: This individualized and highly skilled type of food service is not very common in the U.S. Rather than being plated in the kitchen, white-gloved waiters prepare food table side from a single large dish or platter held by another waiter. Each guest is served individually. HORS D’ OEUVRES : (“outside the work” in French). Appetizer typically served befo...
