What do I do First?
What do I do First?
The day following your engagement, you run to the store to pick up every bridal magazine in sight. They are filled with photos of beautiful wedding gowns, rings, and articles on weddings. Some of the magazines give you a brief idea of what you need to do to plan your wedding, but you're still not sure how to start off the process. The key is to start organizing and planning earlier rather than later
First, you need to create your own system to keep all the details in one place. You may choose to use a binder with a tab for each category you will be using.
Examples of categories include: Bakery, Ceremony, Catering, Florist, Music, Reception, Photography and Transportation. An accordion file is another choice, using the same category tables. This way you will be able to see each category at a glance.
Which system you choose is up to you, but use it consistently to keep track of all receipts, pictures, brochures, business cards etc. that is related to each category.
Once you have your system in place, then you can begin the research. There are plenty of wedding-planning books on the market and countless online websites.
Visit the bookstore or the library to pick up a book to help with the planning process. If you have friends who were recently married, ask them if they have a book you can borrow to save a few bucks.
Next, find a wedding timetable layout. This will include a list of things ?to-do' for the entire time (months or years) before the big day. Some of the first things on the timeline may be: consulting with fianc? and parents to decide the budget and financial support available. Another may be deciding the number of guests you want to invite to your big day, deciding what type of wedding (formal or informal), or even interview some wedding coordinators.
The timetable is a basic guideline. You can recreate it on your computer to fit your wedding and time line.
Once you have an idea of all the details involved in planning a wedding, and all the time you will have to invest, then you can begin asking friends and families for help. Delegate tasks to help you check off all the ?to-dos' on our list by the time you arrive at your special day.

Next Day Flower Delivery
In some cases, you need flowers delivered on short notice but not necessarily the same day. Many companies offer next day flower delivery and are often happy to accommodate your needs.
As with any other order for flower delivery you place, be sure to understand the company's specific terms of service. You should always know the details of what you are purchasing, be it flowers or any other product.
Most florists are willing to accept orders for next day flower deliveries but work on a time frame.
If you were to research various floral companies you will find that many appreciate orders that are placed by noon. This gives the companies adequate time to prepare your order, relay it to the local florist (if you are ordering online) and complete the processing of your order.
Generally speaking, most florists consider next day delivery as sufficient time to process the order. Unless it is a peak season (i.e. Valentines Day or Mother's Day) they...

Tuscan Style Decorating Ideas
Earthy colors and natural materials are two basics for the "old world" style of decorating. To get an idea of the colors we're talking about, go for a walk outside and take notice of the beautiful colors around you, the blue sky, the golden sun, even the chocolate brown of mud in the springtime.

On that walk, stroll through the produce department of your local grocery store and note the...
