Who pays for the flowers at my wedding?

Many couples have their wedding videotaped to capture all
the excitement and emotions of their special day. It's a
great memento to share with family and friends. Wouldn't
it be nice to be able to show your children one day? I'm
sure they will enjoy watching it as much as you will! The
price for a video package can range anywhere from $800 to
several thousand dollars. The fee will depend upon many
factors such as: |
-
Quality of the equipment
-
Number of cameras used
-
Amount of editing needed
-
Time spent by the videographer at the wedding
|
|
Whether you search for a videographer through the yellow
pages or the internet, be sure to check with the Better
Business Bureau for any complaints against the company. Of
course, the best reference is by word of mouth. Ask
friends and relatives if they can recommend someone. Also,
view their demonstration tapes carefully. Look for the
following details: |
-
Be sure the lighting looks natural
-
Is the camera held steady?
-
Make sure the sound is clear and not muffled
-
Also be sure that there is not too much background noise
-
Be sure that the picture is sharp and clear
-
The video should look seamless as it fades from one shot
to the next
-
Make sure the video doesn't jump from one subject to the
next without finishing the story
-
Most importantly, the video should capture all the major
events of the wedding
|
|
Decorating with flowers can be expensive so we've listed a
few ways in which you can cut costs.s |
-
Split the cost of the flowers used at the ceremony site with
another couple that is getting married there that same day.
-
Make sure your wedding is not near a major flower-giving
holiday. Such as Mother's Day or Valentine's Day.
-
If you are married in a church near Easter or Christmas,
chances are that the church will be fully decorated for that
holiday.
-
Get married in a garden setting - that will surely save you
money on flowers!
-
Use tulle bows instead of flowers for pew decorations.
-
Use the flowers from your ceremony to decorate your reception
site.

Who
pays for the flowers at my wedding? |
|
Traditionally, the bride's family pays for the bridesmaids'
bouquets, the groom's boutonniere, and flowers for the cake,
and the groom's family pays for the bride's bouquet, corsages
for the mothers and grandmothers, and the groomsmen's
boutonnieres. However, nowadays brides/grooms pay their own
way. |
