Choosing Your Wedding Reception Music

You have the rings, the date picked and even the place for the wedding and the reception booked so now all that is left if getting right music for the reception. There are many things that you will have to consider when choosing the right music. How big will the party be? What options do you have that will suit your budget? What age range of guests will you have to entertain?

This doesn't have to be as hard as it sounds. With a few simple tips you can make the task much easier.

• Start looking for a band or DJ at least 9 to 18 months prior to the date needed. Top choice DJ's and bands may be booked up to a year in advance and you want to be able to get the person or persons of your choice.

• Ask for a list of songs that the band or DJ uses for wedding receptions. You want to make sure that the music will appeal to all age groups and keep the event upbeat and entertaining.

• Make sure that you feel at ease with the DJ or the band. Having a good rapport with them will make you feel more at ease in trusting them with entertaining your friends and family.

• The right DJ or band should be willing to learn your wedding song and they should want to help make your special day even better with extra special touches such as having the Father daughter dance at the right time, or getting everyone up to dance with some fun traditional wedding dances.

• Have a list of questions to ask when interviewing people who might be playing the wedding reception music. How many breaks will they need and what music will be played while they are on a break? Do they require you to feed them at the reception? How long will they have each dance set of music set for? Is there a guarantee that I will have my musician of choice? Do they carry liability insurance?

If you are planning your event on a budget them you may want to choose a DJ as they tend to be less expensive. No matter which type of entertainment that you choose, you should try to hear them live to see exactly how they perform. You do not want to have any surprises at the last moment when it comes to your wedding reception. Your wedding reception music should be something that will help set the mood and keep the guests upbeat and happy.

Ceremonies Involving Unity Candles At Marriages

The lighting up of the unity candles has been a comparatively recent inclusion in Protestant wedding ceremonies. These serve as a symbol of the union of two willing hearts and minds that are going to become one by the bond of love, faith and trust.

It is at a particular point in the marriage ceremony that the bride and the groom light a unity candle together. The unity candle set up at marriage is frequently white in color and is often decorated with the invitation or some inscription or a picture of the couple. Other special adornment/ornamentation may also be used. The ritual lighting is also at times accompanied by a special musical piece.

The unity candle ceremony at marriage

In the unity candle ceremony two taper candles and a large pillar candle are used. The large candle is the one referred to as the unity candle. As the wedding ceremony begins the mothers of the bride and the groom light the two taper candles. Later on, typically between the exchange of vows and the formal declaration of the wedding, the bride and the groom take the two taper candles lighted and use them together to light the large pillar candle.

After lighting the pillar candle the individual taper candles may be blown out or kept lit beside the central candle. Blowing out of the individual candles may signify that the bride and the groom lose their individuality and develop a new united identity of their own as symbolized by the central candle. However, many also prefer keeping them lit beside the central candle as it signifies that though united in a big way yet the participants in the wedlock still do retain their individuality.

Alternate ways of using unity candles at marriages

Though traditionally the unity candle ceremony makes use of three candles there are other ways of performing it too wherein all the family members and close friends of the bride and the groom are invited to participate. Some unconventional twists may be added to the conventional unity candle ceremony too. Each of the guests may be provided with an unlit candle and after the couple lights the unity candle the guests can be requested to light their individual candles from the unity candle. This will be meaningfully symbolizing that the guests' involvement is important too in the union.

It may be noted that the unity candle ceremony may not be considered necessary at all in the wedding. However, it does serve as a novel inclusion that makes the occasion all the more special and memorable for the couple, their family members and guests.

3 Things to Remember when Buying Bridal Jewelry

A woman's wedding day is the best time for her to look her best. This is probably the reason why so many women invest in gowns, make up and jewelry for their wedding day. The bridal jewelry, in particular, is of great importance because it does not only allow a woman to look beautiful and glamorous on her wedding day. It also reflects the preciousness of the occasion. The importance of the bridal jewelry therefore entails proper selection and some know how in buying. When choosing bridal jewelry, take into consideration the following pointers:

Elegant jewelries are fit for a wedding. The wedding is one of the events where a woman should have to be very choosy in the selection of her jewelries. This is for reason that the jewelry reflects how special an occasion is. As such, wearing trendy but cheap looking jewelries on your wedding day is simply a big no. Having elegant jewelries does not mean having to splurge fortunes, though. It simply means being able to choose jewelries that can make you look respectable and elegant on your wedding day.

Classic jewelries are in. Classic stones and precious metals like gold, diamonds and pearls remain to be the most sought after bridal jewelries. Wearing classic jewelries to go along with your wedding gown simply highlights the traditional importance of wedding ceremonies. When you buy classic jewelries for your wedding day, you can keep using these jewelries regardless of time and fashion changes. You may even be able to hand these jewelries over to your daughter someday when she too will enter the bond of marriage.

Your jewelry must complement you and your wedding theme. Your jewelry should match you wedding dress and accessories. Jewelries are best in accentuating your appearance on your wedding day. As such, it is important that when choosing jewelries, you choose colors and styles that do not clash with your gown or wedding theme. If you choose an emerald studded earring, for example, to match you wedding gown that is predominantly accessorized in red flowers and red embroideries, the pair would not match. If you have chosen a blue motif for your wedding, it is also best to choose a jewelry that would not clash with the color blue. Pearls and diamonds, as such, are best choices because their colors easily match and blend with almost all wedding themes and motifs.

If you are on the look out for bridal jewelries that you will use on your great day, remember these tips. You just deserve to have the best and most appropriate jewelry for you to look your best on your big day.
