Beach weddings can be truly spectacular and memorable romantic landscapes because it offers sea, beach and sunset or dawn. The details of a wedding on the beach can vary in style from maritime to the tropical sea. You can rent a beautiful villa by the sea, a fancy restaurant or a hotel, if budget allows.
Garden

Vineyard and cellar

Choosing the music

Many details are important, but most of all it is important that the guests have fun at the wedding and this depends on the music they listen. A situation in which all or most of the guests prefer a certain type of music is only theoretical. The guests are of different ages with different preferences: some like classical, others jazz, folk music etc. Although the wedding is yours, however you cannot choose the music that only you like , especially if your musical tastes are not shared even with the guests (e.g. rock). Yes, the marriage is yours, but the guests are there to celebrate with you. It is good to respect their tastes or otherwise you should not invite them. Even if, for instance you don't like popular music, yet you can do except for a few songs, the song where all guests can dance together is in most cases very appreciated, especially when you are not only invited to attend. Try to avoid slow songs, some are sufficient, otherwise you risk that the guests get bored.
A band or a DJ
The Band
If you have a band-oriented approach it is good to ask what genre do they know better to play. Inform yourself about the repertoire that they have. If you excel in the genre popular, but have found that most guests prefer modern music, it is clear that you will have to search for someone. The selection of bands has the advantage that they create a better atmosphere. You can also try a quartet. However, if you decided on a band, make sure they have professional equipment, including station amplifier (PA). Ask if they have lights and if they are paid separately. Set prices in hours and keep in mind if you have long breaks or if they play on request.
The DJ
The simplest and most suitable way to find a good DJ for your wedding is to go on an "I saw him, I liked him". If you were at a wedding or an event in which the atmosphere was fire, flawless music and all guests danced , regardless of age and the dance floor was never empty, is the case to get in touch with that DJ. If you do not know who is he and where to get it, ask recommendations from the bridal couple, or from the organizers of the wedding. If you have not personally seen any DJ who impress you, call the trust to the recommendation of friends, they may have been at weddings or events that you have not participated and they can recommend a good DJ. In the worst case, call the phone book or specialized sites, where you can get contact details of various DJ for weddings and you can interview them separately to find the right one. When you found the right DJ establish together the music genres that you want to listen at your wedding, the order of the songs and the price.

 

Three steps to follow in planning the wedding

Organizing a wedding it takes time and you don't have to rush thinking and putting up even the smallest detail because only once you get marry. The advice is that after the budget allocation for the wedding and a reserve for unforeseen expenses, even if you call to a specialized agency, even if not, you have to set exactly the steps that have followed both before and during the wedding.
We know that a wedding requires a lot of 'headaches": setting the place where the wedding will take place, the church, setting the date for the first stage mentioned, the choice of godparents and bridesmaids, setting number of guests, choosing the rings, candle wedding bouquet for the bride, bouquet for the godmother , flowers, wedding invitations, music, cars, wedding dress, hair styling, makeup, shoes, costume for the partner , balloons, fireworks, wedding favors, bride's cake, etc. If you do not know the steps leading up to plan the wedding , no offense, but you don't have to get married. The event must be lived both before and during but after he's just like the three primary stages of human life.
Step 1: Plan your budget has to be the first step, whether you want a classic or an unconventional wedding. Set your priorities right from the start, make a list of them, from most important to the least important. If you want special rings as being a priority, reduce the budget for the dress and costume. If you want a low cost wedding, the easiest is to cut the budget awarded decorations and flowers. If you want a great honeymoon, you have to spend as little for the reception, so that enough money will remain for the wedding trip.
Step 2:Telling the news to your parents. Once that you established to get married it is the case to announce your parents too. This could be a difficult moment especially if your parents weren't expected for a wedding, or if they don't like your partner. In this case it is better to announce your parents separately because you don't want that your partner feelings to be hurt. If everything it is ok you could organize a meeting with both yours and your partners parents, so they can get along and so you can tell them what are your plans.
Step 3: Maintain positive attitude. Remember that the wedding is a fun event, do not forget how much you love and do not let any of the many inconveniences that arise while preparing to get demoralized. It is not easy to plan a wedding, but positive attitude will help a lot to overcome difficult moments. Do not make personal ambition to solve all the rubble, which prove to be more stressful than big decisions and delegate as many tasks to family and friends or rather, a wedding planner specialized, that will greatly ease the work. Listen to your instinct and your heart always, do what do you feel it must be done at your wedding and not what the label says that the wedding should be done.

Things that should not matter at your wedding

You will see that organizing a wedding requires a lot of time, dedication and in some moments, very much stress. Brides who have been through a wedding say that many of the worries and problems before the wedding, concerning various details of the organization, proved to be unnecessary. That's because the wedding day will concentrate on two and on really important aspects, some details will become insignificant and in time, looking back, you will smile thinking about how much you unnecessary stressed for them.
The perfect dress. It is true that the wedding dress is very important, because since you were little you were dreaming at the perfect wedding with the perfect dress. If the dress fits you, its not too large and you can remain undressed, or its not to tight so you cannot breath, then you have the perfect dress .You will see that after you have spend so many weeks looking for the right dress, and then another weeks wondering if it is your dream dress, on your wedding day you will forget about all these aspects , and you will feel the most beautiful in the world.
Flowers for the wedding. The future bride devote a lot of time a future looking for the perfect wedding flowers . It is truth that, the bride's bouquet is the most important and appear in most pictures, than the rest of the details of flowers. A truth not just about the flowers, but about all the wedding decorations is that no guest will not look at them twice. They will admire at the beginning , then everyone will be so concerned about you two, that detail like that will not be noticed anymore.
Guests that you don't know. Before the wedding it is possible to have some fights with your parents on the guests and relatives you do not like or you don't even know, but they "should" be at the wedding. The advice is to send them the invitation without thinking twice and you will see that on the wedding day, being so excited by what is happening, nobody will seem unfriendly. Then, having many guests you will be very concerned to interact with everybody and first of all with people you know and you love and so you will not even notice those for whom you are stressed before the wedding.
Superstitions. There are a lot of superstitions concerning the wedding and for sure you are thinking of them before the big day, but all that you do is that you amplify some fears that are not good for you. Just think that no one and nobody cant ruin you day especially if you are truly, madly, deeply in love with each other. It has no point to "upload" yourself with other worries when there are plenty of real things that you should worry, or maybe not, because once in your lifetime is your wedding and you want to be happy. So let the others worry for you!

Something New
Something borrowed
Something Blue
This wedding tradition is rooted in nineteenth century in England ( "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue"). Their significance in the wedding, is the following:
Item "old" – means the bride's family links with her life before marriage. Therefore, most often "something old" is a family heirloom that a bride will wear on her wedding day.
The 'new' – characterizes life success and success in the future. Therefore, it is generally the wedding dress.

There are several origins of this tradition of exporting the Garter by the groom. In ancient times, some guests used to steal the socks of the bride when she was with her husband in the nuptial chamber, to see who is getting married next. Other sources indicate a desire of men to steal the bride's stocking to be successful in love. And for the reason that the bride not to choose herself with the clothes torn during the party, they adopt the system as she willingly throw socks. But some younger guests, more impatient, they wanted to take it by force, so the intervention of the groom was necessary. This has led to today, to the tradition that the groom have to remove the brides socks, replaced later with the garter.
6. Bridal bouquet
In ancient times almost anything can be regarded as ominous. Therefore brides used the plant, known for protection they could provide against evils. They were caught at the bride's dress, from head to foot, making it look more like an assorted walking salad . Later, the plants began to be replaced with flowers, only for the esthetic sense, and move from the robes on the bride's bouquet.
