wedding floral arrangements the nuts and bolts

Although the wedding rings that the couple exchanges can be considered gifts, many brides choose to honor their groom with an additional gift that suits his personality. Traditional floral centerpieces can be expensive especially if you plan on having a large number of tables at the wedding reception.

In choosing dresses for your bridesmaids, you may want to consider involving your bridesmaids in the process from the beginning and working with them to choose the dresses. Simple glass bowls can be used as centerpieces and filled with a few colorful glass marbles along with some water and an exotic and colorful fish. The mother of the bride may throw a bridal shower for the wedding party and the women in the family while the maid of honor may throw a shower that includes friends of the bride and the bride's co-worker may also throw her a shower in the office.

The second important thing to think about is the invitations. Be sure that everyone who is invited to the wedding shower is also on the invitation list to the wedding to avoid any hurt feelings. It is not necessary for a guest to purchase off the registry list to attend a shower.

Finally, while there are many details that require your attention in the final week before your wedding it is also important to take some time for yourself and do something that you consider relaxing. The key to planning a great bridal shower is to keep the bride's taste in mind during the planning effort.
