Your dream wedding

When, three days, three months or three years after you met, he finally uttered these difficult words for every man: "Let's get married," hot season - pre-wedding chores.

How not to forget anything, to foresee everything, to combine a thousand little things into a single whole and make your wedding an event, which will then be legendary and eyewitnesses will tell their great-great-grandchildren a bedtime story? Most importantly, work together. This will make the task easier and bring you, already madly in love, even closer together. We have planned the date of the wedding and - go ahead!

Toastmaster

The sooner you find it, the better. Good presenters have all Saturdays and Sundays scheduled three months in advance, especially in summer and autumn. It takes a long time to look in the newspapers, it will be much faster to turn to websites dedicated to weddings, and there to ask for advice from the newlyweds, and even better - to see the work of the host at the wedding with friends. If the host does not have a demo cassette, discard it. Often the host at a wedding works together with a DJ or musicians. It will not be superfluous to ask the latter about the repertoire. And how the songs of Kirkorov will be tightened, instead of your adored Elton John.

Operator

He should be a professional teetotaler who will make a great movie out of your wedding. A really cool operator always has a trick. For example, at the end of a wedding videotape there are a couple of clips: in one, romantic, the main roles are played by the bride and groom in the brightest and happiest moments of the wedding, and in the other, rock and roll, guests appear in all their glory, dancing out who is in what is great. So you have to watch demo tapes, and choose, choose …

Photographer

If finances allow, be sure to invite a photographer to the wedding. Photos, especially if they are made as a work of photographic art, and even with you and your fiancé in the lead roles, are even more interesting to watch than a videotape. Then you yourself will be on long winter evenings, wrapped in a blanket, looking at yourself, a beauty in a photo album, looking at your husband dozing in an armchair, already so close and dear.

Bride dress and groom suit

A month and a half before the wedding, you can finally start choosing the most pleasant and important dress for the bride. First you need to decide - rent or purchase. A purchased dress is 2-3 times more expensive than a rented one, but you will be its only owner and mistress, and then, in … twenty years, you will let your daughter try it on. Or a son.

But, in my opinion, it is better to rent a dress, firstly, it is cheaper, and secondly, it will not loom in the closet all your life, taking up space and aging with you.

Take your best friend or mom as a company and go in search of YOUR dress. In bridal salons, trust your intuition. Do not refuse to try on dresses of non-standard cut and color: red, beige, champagne, and be sure to try on a veil - even if you have a short haircut. Try on a tiara too - you will see a real princess in the mirror!

Of course, the timeless classic is a white dress with a corset and a full skirt, and a white veil. Gloves, fan and handbag are optional. Not a word to the groom!

I advise you to buy a suit for the groom in a store, and not sew to order. There are many known cases when a suit made by a "noble dressmaker" looked terrible in the end, but it was too late to change anything. It is worth sewing to order only in one case - if the groom has a non-standard figure.

Suit color: white, beige, any other light shade, or black - this is a classic. Gray - no way.

The striped suit looks chic - a la 30s gangster. But here the bride also has to match - in a narrow white dress a la singer-girlfriend of a gangster of the 30s.

The groom's tie is matched to the rainbow wedding mood. If a vest and a handkerchief are present in the groom's pocket, they need to "make friends" with a tie according to the color scheme.

A restaurant

It is difficult to advise anything about choosing a restaurant or cafe for a wedding - here almost everything depends on financial possibilities. But in any case, choose a room that matches the number of guests at the wedding. It doesn't have to be huge or too tight. When discussing the menu and payment of rent with the administrator, do not hesitate to ask questions about receipts for cooked dishes, how much a broken glass or plate will cost, in the end, about the presence of soap and towels in the toilet room. It is better to come together with the groom to hand over money to the administrator. It will be safer this way.

1 month before the wedding

Do not forget to come to the registry office exactly one month before the wedding and apply. I advise you to go to the registry office building two hours before its opening - see for yourself that there is already a line of loving couples in front of you. Some desperate, wanting to be the first and choose the best time for marriage, even spend the night in a car next to the registry office.

From the moment you submit your application, you will be officially considered the bride and groom.

Bouquet for the bride

Of course, the bride should not know in advance what bouquet the groom will give her on her wedding day. But you can still hint that you hate gladioli and hate red carnations. The bouquet should not be too large, so as not to impede the movement of the bride, and at the same time the entire wedding procession. It is ideal when the bouquet has one leg, and not a hundred stalks sticking out in different directions and threatening to scratch the bride's delicate hands.

All the rest

It is better to rent cars complete with decorations, having asked in advance if you are in danger of double or triple payment for extra, not specified in advance, rental hours. A limousine is great, and, by the way, not so expensive, considering that it can easily accommodate seven guests along with the bride and groom.

If you and your fiance decide to hold a wedding in accordance with Russian folk traditions, do not forget about a loaf and a towel embroidered with roosters.

A huge cake with swans, doves or figurines of the bride and groom is one of the attributes of a wedding. It will not even be half eaten, but you will have photographs of you, hand in hand, cutting the cake for the rest of your life.

Rings! The most important purchase (after the dress, of course!). Everything is simple here: we went into the salon, chose according to taste and size - and bought it. Just don't put them on each other's finger before the wedding.

Send invitation cards to all guests a month before the event. For fun wedding contests, buy gifts. They can be purchased near the circus or in a toy store: inflatable hammers, rubber band ears, a water pistol, an artificial cockroach - everything you dreamed of, but hesitated to offer to family and friends. In honor of the wedding, you will be forgiven.

As the saying goes, people don't go to any lengths to get a new computer, washing machine, gas stove and vacuum cleaner. But seriously, I wish you great family happiness to those who decided on this, perhaps the most important step in life.
