Wedding Tips

Choosing a Venue

The most important tip I can give a bride is do your homework when choosing the location for your wedding and reception. You can’t trust pictures on a web site.

Incorporate Your Culture

Think about picking a few customs or family traditions to include in the ceremony or reception that best reflect you and your wedding.

Timing is Key

When your guests arrive, your venue should be up and ready to accommodate them.

Picking the Right Wedding Cake

You want your wedding cake to look fabulous and match the design of the wedding, but you shouldn’t just think about the outside of the cake. The flavor of the cake makes just as big of an impression, and it should reflect the taste of the bride and groom.

How to Pick a Wedding Theme

Having a theme wedding? Just don't go overboard with the decorations. Only add a hint here and there so that it's not tacky and you don't overwhelm your guests.

Start Off on the Right Foot

To ensure that your first dance as husband and wife is perfect, David urges couples—like Wanda and Bert— to take dance lessons. Plus, for a great toast, the bride and groom should keep it sincere... and be sure to thank their guests.
