• ·         In general, it is not considered rude to set your wedding on New Year’s Eve – especially if you have your heart set on this idea and if it’s something truly meaningful for you as a couple. This is your wedding and you are allowed to do as you please – as long as nobody else gets offended, of course.
• ·         If you do decide to get married on New Year’s Eve, it is important to remember that you have to give your guests as much time as possible to plan out the trip for your wedding day. Send your Save the Dates as soon as you can – but, at the same time, expect that some of your guests won’t be able to attend the Big Day. Because this is a very big holiday, a lot of people have made plans in advance and they might not be able to cancel those.
• ·         Last, but definitely not least, it is also essential that you prepare an adequate budget for a NYE wedding as well. Generally, venues and vendors charge more during the holidays, precisely because they are such a busy time of the year.

The 5 Things Your Wedding Planner Need to Know About You

Hiring a wedding planner is an excellent move for those who want their Big Day to be flawless from its very beginning to its very end. And while it is definitely important that you research your vendor and know exactly who you are hiring, it is also crucial that they know a fair handful of things about you. Here are the top 5 most important things your wedding planner needs to know about you:

• ·         Your budget. Don’t even start talking wedding style and theme before you lay out your budget. A professional wedding planner will listen and she will know exactly what can be done for your budget and how to maximize its power.
• ·         Your likes. Of course, your wedding planner should know what you like, what are the things that mean a lot to you and what are those wedding elements you will never want to give up on. This way, she will know how to design a plan that makes you really happy with the end result.
• ·         Your dislikes. That awful song that reminds you of when you got your heart broken? The irritating color you could never stand? Tell your wedding planner about all these dislikes you don’t want into your wedding and she’ll make sure these elements have no room in your Big Day.
• ·         Your level of involvement. Some couples prefer a more hands-on approach, while others leave it all in the hands of their wedding planner. What type of bride and groom are you? Your wedding planner needs to know this!
• ·         How you prefer to communicate. Do you text? Email? Call? Your wedding planner wants to know this so that you maintain proper communication with her. Talk to her about your preferred means of communication!

8 Last Minute Wedding Details You Can't Forget About

We all know planning a wedding is no easy task – and while you surely have everything in order, there are always those small details that can very easily slip away. What are some of the most important last minute wedding details you can’t forget about? Read here and find out more.

• Your last wedding gown fitting. This is one step you definitely need to do as close to the wedding as possible (so that all the small last minute adjustments are made).
• Writing a note for your groom. He is the love of your life – so why not sweeten his Big Day even more by sending him a beautiful, romantic note? He will more than appreciate it!
• Appoint someone to be the go-to person. It may be your Maid of Honor, your mom or anyone else. This person should be completely reliable, because they will basically replace you in giving instructions and helping the guests around.
• Prepare the tips. Although it will not be you who gives away the tips (usually, that’s the Best Man or another close member of the wedding party), you should still make sure to have them prepared before the wedding day.
•  wedding gown fitting all deliveries. Be 100% your cake, your flowers and your food will be there on time on the Big Day!
• Confirm all back-up plans, specifically the “bad weather Plan B”. Yes, we never like to think of the worst case scenario, but taking it into consideration and planning for it can be a true life-saver.
• Finish up your “getting ready” timeline. Remember, you should allow some “extra” for this so that you don’t run out of time!
• Pack for your honeymoon and send your luggage to the hotel. The last thing you want to worry with on the morning of your wedding is how and what to pack. Carefully plan this ahead and send the luggage before you, so that you can simply pack it up and escape into your honeymoon.
