Wedding Planning and the Holiday Season: Tip Number Three

In wedding decorations, just like in anything else, first impressions are everything. But for the bride that finds herself trying to plan a wedding while the holiday season is upon us, this is a huge advantage. Why? Simply put, what other season of the year allows you the luxury of decorating your entryway without raising the eyebrows of everyone who passes?

Yet, a well designed wedding decor will take the entryway into consideration because the entryway sets the tone for the rest of your decor. If your guest's eyes settle on the standard industrial doorpost of most hotel ballrooms, then little you do inside will change your guests' first impression. On the other hand, if a tasteful arch or draping that matches your wedding theme is the first thing they see, then you have already made great strides toward achieving your goal.

So go ahead, dream. Play with your entryway decorations - once you have found something that will work for your wedding you can always add some greenery and / or some ornaments and lights to make it appropriate for the holiday season.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

PS Don’t forget the first two Holiday Wedding Planning Tips!
As a simple reminder, here they are in brief:
1. Use Wedding Favors as stocking stuffers and gifts for co-workers etc. - this gives you the opportunity to check them out before you invest the money you budgeted for your wedding favors!
2. Turn the fact that the holiday season makes regular use of table centerpieces for entertaining to your advantage - use the opportunity to play with your design ideas for your wedding centerpiece and it’s presentation (all the way down to the shape and size of the tables).
