Hello Candace,
Weddings today don't have many rules. Let the wedding be about you. You definitely do not have to have the same number of bridesmaids and groomsmen if you don't want to. If you have more bridesmaids, then have a groomsman escort 2 bridesmaids down the aisle or vice-versa. That lucky groomsman or lucky bridesmaid definitely enjoys the little 'extra' attention going down the aisle! Make sure to go over the logistics during the rehearsal. Happy Planning! - Evonne Grabauskas www.beautifulcelebrations.net -

ReplyHi Lindsay,
I actually encourage my clients to do pictures before the ceremony and photographers love this idea. People often go right into "party mode" after the ceremony and it makes it difficult to gather the bridal party and others around for pictures. For your 'first moment' pictures, have your bridal party gather together in a separate room to relax for a bit. Have the groom stand up facing the altar alone. The bride will enter and ask her groom to turn around and then the photographer can capture that special moment when the groom first lays eyes upon his bride! Truly a priceless moment and picture! This should be about a 10 minute period for only the bride and groom to enjoy alone. Then the rest of the bridal can come out ready for their group pictures. I hope this helps!

If you are having a buffet dinner, you need to make sure that there is more than enough food prepared. I have seen families run out of food and guests actually not get fed. Portion control is hard for buffets. Remember to double check to see if there are any vegetarian guests or guests with food allergies. If you have any food left-over, you can always serve it the next day at a brunch. Happy Planning! - Evonne Grabauskas www.beautifulcelebrations.net
