Wedding Arrangements, LLC also have a presence on Facebook! This site is where I post links of local vendors that I have come in contact with.
We are currently checking out rental equipment to understand which vendors have a showroom for bride and grooms to-be to look and feel the items that they are looking to rent for their special day.
Also there are many small businesses that are having promotions that are not using alot of advertising and it is up to you as the consumer to seek them out. That is where Wedding Arrangements, LLC is looking to help. In parallel with helping couples with their special day, we are also keeping in contact with resources to collect any promotions that we can share with potentials.
If you have a facebook account, look me up so that we can be friends and than I can invite you to join the group.

Who needs a NEW wedding dress??
It has been a while since my last posting but I have been doing some research for potential brides. SO stay tuned....
Everyone is familiar with David's Bridal because of its location and building size but have you been in there lately. It is a nice place to visit but not during the prime hours when there are more brides than consultants to assist. If you do need a dress from David's Bridal visit them during your normal working hours (this may involve the use of some of your vacation time) because most people want to visit them on the weekends. Nice collection of dresses with quick service but it is impersonal. Check out some of the smaller boutiques like Anastasia's Boutique in Greenville, DE.
For those that are not connected to the thought of having a new dress, check out the following sites:
http://http://www.preownedweddingdress.com/, the equivalent of Craig's list for brides that want to sell their expensive dresses at a reduced price. It is a benefit for both parties (buyer and seller).
http://www.resaleboutique.net/Bridal_.html, this is a resale boutique on Philadelphia Pike (Wilmington, DE). Check them out, they have a variety of wedding items.
There are many more resources to help potential brides reduce their overall costs for their wedding.
As I opened, stay tuned.....there will be more.....

Look at how simple!
I wanted to illustrate to everyone the simplicity of adding color into your wedding without spending alot of money.
The attached picture caught my eye because it was a nice basket (beautiful shade of green) with bright hot pink napkins and matching forks. From a far, it looks like a flower arrangement.
See simple but nice without the large price tag! You can use something like this to bounce other decor off of to create a sort of shabby chic wedding decor......guest will think you spent alot of money.

Having worked some weddings, I have seen some things that couples will/can appreciate re: saving them money on their nice wedding.
Remember that perception is everything. I have noticed that couples are purchasing these beautiful cakes and after they do the initial slice of the cake, they do not see it again until they have a slice on their plate back at their table after they have completed dancing. Wonder want goes on in the back with the cake...... Well, it is sliced up (of course!) but the question is, is all of the cake used at the wedding and the answer is "no" the slices of the cake are not that large that all of the cake is used. The couple can do one of many things:
*The extravagant cake can be purchased and you perform your initial slicing of the cake but request that your wedding planner ensure that the venue or caterer save the cake that is not sliced or slice extra pieces of the cake for the cake table for guests that would like to enjoy an additional slice. You can ask the baker for the box that the cake came in or for them to supply you with a box so that the cake can be packed up and sent home with you along with your gifts. Otherwise, the remaining cake is discarded with anything else that is left at the venue.
*You could have a tiered cake created with the bottom tier being the only "real" cake. There are bakeries that will be accommodate this requests. If you need to have additional cake for your guests purchase a regular sheet cake to ensure that everyone enjoys cake.
*Remember that cake is part of tradition and if you truly want to be unique with your wedding why not change up the dessert. Who is to say that you cannot have cupcakes, assorted donuts, pies, assorted homemade cakes, and even a ice cream/fruit bar. Your wedding should reflect your lifestyle so do not get caught up in the tradition of a large wedding cake.
