Wedding Planning Tips for Saving Money on ‘THE’ Big Day
(ContentDesk) January 8 2004--WISHES Tips for Watching the Wedding Budget:
1)???Select an Off Date or Time.There simply are not enough Saturday nights in a year.
Look into a Friday night, Sunday brunch, Thursday night or Saturday afternoon.
These off dates and times could give you extra money for a dream honeymoon as well.2)???Select an Off Month.
While many females dream of being a June Bride, January through March brides can save a lot more money.
During these off months, vendors such as caterers and musicians, will be a lot more flexible with their pricing.
So, a Saturday night wedding may be possible, it just may need to be indoors. A Winter Wonderland wedding can be quite beautiful.3)???Choose a Site that Includes Everything.Many people believe that by using a raw space, or their own backyard, will save money.
The reality is that its a lot more expensive to rent tents, tables, chairs, linens, china, etc., and more stressful. 4)???Skip the FavorsGuests rarely use, or want them. Instead make a donation to a favorite charity and place a simple note at each place setting letting your guests know of your donation.
Share the happiness with those less fortunate!??????????????????5)???Tailor the MenuBuffets are not always less expensive.
While there are less staff involved, there is a lot more food, which increases the caterers costs and final bill. An elegant seated luncheon or dinner of appetizer, salad, entr?e and wedding cake will be plenty.
Keep cocktails simple because guests dont need a meal before a meal.
A cocktail hour with passed hors doeuvres will be elegant and more than enough!6)???BorrowSince something needs to be borrowed, perhaps a headpiece from a sister or a friend.
Remember, chances are it will not be worn again.7)???Scale Back on FlowersWork with the florist to select flowers that are in the season of the wedding, rather than what is not. Reuse flowers from the ceremony at the reception for decor, or around the cake.8)???Book Short TermThe closer out you book a date, the more flexible vendors will be.
A date that sits empty is non-profitable, but a last minute booking can be golden for the couple as well as the vendors.
Assembling a wedding celebration in less than six months, gives a negotiating advantage.9) Shop the Sample Sales for Your DressBuy the dream designer dress at a fraction of the cost!10) Keep the Guest List SmallAsk yourself how many long distance relatives and long ago friends truly need to be invited.
Share the day with those nearest and dearest.
It will be more meaningful, and the bride and groom will actually have a chance to mingle with all the guests.WISHES Concierge Services Corp. is Westchesters premiere concierge and event planning service provider.

Bridal Bouquets
A display of flowers is an indispensable part of a wedding in every culture.
Flowers are used in the bouquet carried by the bride, her attendants, the groom and his friends. Flowers enhance the beauty of the prayer areas, altars and the church during a wedding. While selecting bridal bouquets, it's important to know which flowers are in season during the period of the year when the wedding date falls. Selecting seasonal flowers may help reduce costs while purchasing flowers from a florist.
Bouquets may convey a just-picked-from-the-garden look or a formal look.
It's important to achieve a good balance between the bridal gown and bouquet. At times, bouquets with a fresh-picked look may look out of place in combination with an extremely formal gown. It is also important that the bouquet size should complement the personality of the bride. A very large bouquet can sometimes overshadow the bride's presence and the grace and style of the bridal gown.

Why Small Businesses Fail (or Fail to Thrive)
Tammy, a skilled and gifted horticulturist, called me to discuss what she needed to know to start her own florist and landscaping business.
She had been in the horticulture industry for 10 years and was incredibly skilled at working with flowers and plants ? one of the best.
She also had great design skills, as well as good customer service skills.
But she had little business management experience and less self-employment experience.

So, you've let your wife's birthday slip your mind. This is an incredible feat considering she has been dropping not-so-subtle hints for the past 2 weeks. After you have smacked yourself, you begin to devise a plan. A surprise dinner at her favorite restaurant will certainly show her your romantic side, but you need something else. The tried-and-true gift of flowers will certainly do the trick.
It is no surprise that men find giving flowers as a gift to be a safe and sure way to please their mates. Ordering is usually simple and show sincere admiration and appreciation.
If you are working on a short time frame then same day flower delivery might be a good option for you. Yes, you could stop by the florist on your way home and get a bouquet, however many people enjoy the surprise of an unexpected delivery of fresh cut flowers.

Choosing The Right Vacuum Cleaner
According to history, the first vacuum cleaner actually wasn't a vacuum cleaner at all, it was a carpet sweeper. The inventor was a man by the name of Daniel Hess who in 1860 patented a machine that had rotating brushes on the bottom and bellows to generate suction. There is however no evidence that this machine was ever produced. It would be some forty plus years later, in 1908, that Mr. James Spangler of Canton, Ohio would receive a patent for the first electric portable vacuum cleaner.
