Wondering what to do with your bouquets when you sit down to eat? Lying your bouquets into a centerpiece wreath or swag of fresh greens and candles, or slipping them through the back of a chair bow will keep them out of the way and looking beautiful during the meal. Expert Tip by Laura Taylor - A Taylor'd Event : 719-572-9955

Head Table
The focus of the reception room is traditionally the head
table. Here are some head table tips!
1. Keep centerpieces low.
2. Make sure the table is placed where the DJ can see you.
3. Head table seating is traditionally as shown below:
Something Different:
Rather than having the traditional head table, sit at a large
round with your bridal party and their spouses (or dates). If
you have a large bridal party, this may require more than one
table, but allowing your bridal party to sit with their dates
will make the night enjoyable for them, as well!

Small Receptions
Just because you are having your reception at home or at your church
doesn't mean you can't go festive and gourmet! Have your gourmet

Music at the Reception
There is NO doubt that your musician or DJ will make or break your
party. It's tempting to skimp in this area, especially when you
are on a tight budget. Don't do it! Hire the best.
A good DJ or band-leader will make the transitions between reception
events seamless and will have EVERYONE up dancing and celebrating
with you!

Uncle Bob wants to be the DJ at our reception.
It's FREE!
Should we let him?
Ummm ... think twice!

Your Wedding Cake |
 |
Tradition says the "bride's cake"
is usually a white layer cake, but today's brides are being VERY
inventive with their cakes! You can get anything from cheesecake
to individual mini cakes for each guest!
Look through the bridal magazines for ideas and clip out the designs
you really like. When you visit the local bakeries ask them if they
can re-create the design for you. Be sure not to limit yourself,
though! Ask the bakery if they have any "specialties"!
