A Wedding ceremony under open sky would be definitely very romantic. Planning an outside wedding ceremony is always a nice option.

Of course the weather condition and the sky must be considered carefully. You should ensure that there won’t be any rain or snow on your wedding ceremony.

Even if you are certain about the weather conditions, it is still wise to have a secondary plan for an indoor ceremony.

There are many romantic outdoor places you can choose. Places especially with water and pool are for more choice.

It is your wedding day, you are going to be the princess of the day. You want to have everything to be perfect and wonderful. Of course you want your gown be to be like in fairytails. 

So, first of all, sit down with your fiancé and/or your parents and anyone else that will contribute financially to your day and decide how much you want to budget for your wedding attire. Of course, everything depends on your financial situation. For some idea of the prices you could pay in the UK, an off-the-peg gown from a UK high street shop could, at the time of writing, set you back anything up to around £400. A middle-of-the-range designer wedding dress could cost between £300 and £1500, and haute couture and other designer dresses can cost thousands of pounds. One important thing to bear in mind is that if you don’t tell people, nobody will know what you spent on your dress - so budget for what you can afford. You will certainly be able to find something suitable in every price range, and it is best to set off with a budget in mind so you don’t accidentally try on and fall in love with a designer number that completely breaks the bank.

Remember, even with a limited budget, you can wear wonderful a wedding gown. All you need is to have some knowledge and preparation. There are numerous options when it comes to buying a wedding dress, and which you go for will depend on your budget, taste, and the amount of time you have before the big day.

This Guide can help with some tips, or possibly you can engage the services of a professional wedding-planner to help guide you through the minefield that is Wedding Ettiquette - on the other hand you could ignore all the rules and do your own thing. Not surprisingly, one of the most exciting parts of your planning is deciding what you will wear on the big day and this entry aims to help brides-to-be with the bewildering choice of gowns they will soon be faced with. This article only deals with wedding dresses in the western tradition - other cultures have equally varied styles to choose from and indeed some brides are happy to take their inspiration from every source.

What type of wedding dress do you wish?

Part of this decision will come from the overall style of wedding that you want; is it a very grand affair in a huge cathedral, a sophisticated evening event with a civil ceremony, a simple church wedding, a beach wedding in the tropics or a funky day in a modern hotel? This will help to inform your choice but by no means limits it. If you are having a registry office wedding but have always dreamed of a full princess-style dress with a veil and the whole works then there is no reason why you shouldn’t have it. Similarly and naturally, if your wedding is in a grand building, that doesn’t mean you need a dress of Princess Diana proportions if you don’t feel comfortable in one. You may not choose a dress at all, but instead you may feel more comfortable in a smart suit. If you have a theme for your wedding,1 that may dictate the style of your outfit - the choice is yours! Before you hit the shops it is also worth talking to your fiancé about what he likes and dislikes. As well as looking wonderful for yourself, you also want your husband-to-be to love the way you look when he sees you in your finery. He is going to be the one to love you for a lifetime.

*When planning the guest list, keep in mind that you do not need to invite your co-workers. If there is some one that you work with that you are very close to, that is one thing but inviting 100 people from the office is just a waste of your money on the invitations because only the ones that you are close to will come anyway.

* The first step in wedding planning is deciding how much money you are going to spend and make a budget. When planning your wedding budget allow 25% more for extras that you haven’t planned for. That’s usually the case.

* Order the invitations four months in advance. Invitations have to be mailed four to six weeks in advance. Take the invitations to the post office to be weighted for sufficient postage. Four months is reasonable amount of time space to get things have fixed.

Tropical flowers are very popular for many wedding ceremonies because of their features such as:

* They are often brightly coloured
* They are available year-round
* They have a modern, chic look

We listed below some of the most popular tropical wedding flowers:

Anthuriums
These elegant flowers are extremely popular nowadays. They originate from Central and tropical South America, and are called as Flamingo flowers.

They come in a wide variety of colours including bright red, green, pink and white. One of my favourites is called ’safari’ and is burgundy with pale stripes.

Botanists will tell you that the brightly coloured parts are not flowers at all but modified leaves called spathes… but who cares! They look absolutely fantastic and fresh.

Calla Lilies
Calla lilies have a sophisticated elegance that is unmatched. White callas are very popular for weddings, but there is a wonderful range of colours available on the market.

The near black ’schwarzwalder’ calla lily makes a striking focal point of any arrangement and is always a talking point. The yellow/orange variety ‘mango’ is very popular and bright yellow callas such as ‘golden star’ are very beautiful and charming.

You could even use the wide variety of calla lily accessories to make a stylish calla lily themed wedding.

Gerberas (Gerber Daisy)
Gerberas come in a many colours and are available all year round - which is great news for brides.

The first thing to do is to give the most opportunities for the photographer when scheduling activities during the wedding day. When planning the time of the wedding ceremony and of the reception, couples should incorporate the time that the photographer requires to capture all of the couple’s special moments. There should be a gap between the end of the ceremony and beginning of the reception, to allow for more photographs for the bride, groom and wedding entourage, especially if they are in two different locations. The photographers and subjects will have a more relaxed shoot and will enjoy all the parts of the wedding if the events are well spaced out.
