And one detail that often gets overlooked? The seating arrangement. Here are some common missteps to dodge:  The Feuding Friends Fiasco: We all have those two friends or relatives who can't stand each other. While it's great to invite both to the wedding, seating them together is a recipe for disaster. Avoid the drama by strategically placing them apart.
The Dietary Dilemma: Got guests with specific dietary needs? Keep that in mind when arranging seats. It makes service smoother and ensures everyone enjoys their meal. The Space Scuffle: Yes, we know you want to squeeze in as many loved ones as possible, but remember – comfort is key. Ensure your venue and tables have enough space for everyone to breathe, move, and mingle. The No-Plan Plan: Some couples opt for a free-for-all seating scenario. But trust us, a well-thought-out seating plan saves time, avoids confusion, and helps guests find their seats with ease. Remember, your wedding day is about love, laughter, and creating beautiful memories. By steering clear of these seating slip-ups, you can ensure everyone has a fab time and your day runs like clockwork. Now that you’re well on your way to planning your seating arrangements, how’s the wedding entertainment planning going?

Selecting Your Wedding Music
As you prepare for your upcoming wedding, many elements need to come together. This includes the venue, the catering, the flowers, and the music. Yes, you have to decide on the music for your wedding. Choosing the right music is vital to creating the perfect atmosphere for your big day. In the section below, we will explore the factors you should consider when choosing your wedding music.
The music you select should really reflect your personality, your feelings, and your wedding theme. Your wedding day should be remembered for being a consistent theme of your love for each other. Plus, your love for all of the people who are invited to your wedding. If your wedding has a strong central theme to it (such as a specific nationality, scene or theme), then your music should complement that, and not be in contrast to it. When it comes to your first dance music, be sure that the beat is a perfect speed for both of you. You want to make sure to dance well and comfortably to the music, not look out-of-rhythm and uncomfortable. Additionally, always choose a song that has meaning to you both; it doesn’t matter if the song is not trendy or popular. After all, this is your wedding, your day, so be sure that the song speaks to both of your hearts. It helps if you think of your wedding as a movie with a plot line; this can help you to decide on the music during the entire day. This includes the music during the actual wedding ceremony, the dances with parents, the bouquet or garter toss, etc. Those pieces should be especially meaningful as compared to the background music that would play during dinner and other more casual moments. If you want to make some of your guests really feel special, you could have a song or two that really resonates with them during the day. Be sure to coordinate with your DJ about the music lineup. You want to make sure you know what song is being played during which moments. After all, you don’t want to get caught off-guard or not know what to do during a song because you weren’t expecting it. If you are having trouble coming up with good wedding songs, there are many online sites that can give you good options. Some, like OurWeddingSongs.com, will even provide ratings from people to give you an idea of what is popular and what isn’t. While you want to have songs that resonate with you, you also want some that will be hits for your guests so that they will enjoy themselves more too. Selecting wedding music does require some thought and planning to ensure it matches up well with your wedding day. This day is meant to be one of the most important and enjoyable of your lives, so really spend some time to consider what songs you want to play and when you want them to be played during your day. Remember that some popular love songs are about tragedy so listen to the lyrics first, before deciding if the song is appropriate for your wedding day. After all you want to make people happy, not cry, because the lyrics are so sad. Use the information above to help you come up with the best songs that will resonate with you and your guests to make this day even more special for all. We would love to hear your thoughts.

Planning Your Toronto Wedding
A wedding can be a monumental task for anyone, especially if you have never planned one before.There are many important tasks that must be completed, and all of these take time; this is essentially what the engagement period involves.
The average engagement period in the North America is sixteen months.For you to make best use of this time,you need to spread out all the things you need to do.This way you won’t feel rushed and you can make the best decisions for each action as required. From the beginning of your engagement period to about nine months before your wedding date, you need to start a wedding binder or folder. Any interesting ideas that you come across about wedding clothes and fashion ideas, lifestyle ideas, design and food should be placed in this folder or binder. This includes checking out online sources, printing them out and placing them in the folder on your desktop. It doesn't hurt to have a notepad with you as well.This way you can jot down notes and ideas as they come up. You need to figure exactly how much you have to spend. This includes the amount of money you and your fiancé have to spend as well as any money that your families are contributing, if any, to the wedding. You should also start to think about who you want to be in your wedding party. In addition,you need to start the guest list of who will attend your wedding.This list should include contact information, gifts, RSVP's and any other information that you feel you need. It’s important to get as correct a headcount early on so that you can more accurately predict how much your wedding will cost based on food, hall reservations, etc. At this point, you should also decide whether you will hire awedding planner or not. You should also research caterers, entertainment, florists, and photographers. By the eight-month mark to your wedding date, you should have hired the photographer and videographer. You don’t have to talk yet about how the pictures should be taken but you should know if the photographer and videographer are available for that date and reserve them. Also around this time you should evaluate potential entertainment then reserve the entertainment you like best. Wedding attire should be selected by now. You should schedule at least three fitting sessions to make sure that the outfits fit well by your wedding day. You should register at a minimum of three retailers. This is also the perfect time to launch a wedding website; you don’t have to spend money for this – you can launch it on a site like weddingwire.com or theknot.com. Put the date of the wedding, the travel information and the accommodations on this page, then send out the link to your guests. When you get closer to the wedding day, six months and sooner, you need to have more details in place and finalize arrangements about necessities(such as portable toilets for outdoor weddings), the florist and transportation needs. You also need to begin constructing a day-of timeline which will include things like the cutting of the cake and the first dance. You need to follow-up on the wedding invitations, ordering the cake, booking the rehearsal-dinner venues, choosing the hair and makeup artists and finalizing the music. Essentially, you need to have a good plan of all the items that must be taken care of to have a successful wedding that is as stress-free as possible.Keep in mind that professionals such aswedding planners, photographers, videographers,DJ’s andM.C.’s can be booked months in advance. So you can’t wait until the last-minute (i.e. even six months ahead of time is often considered “last minute” in these cases) to book them. Know the items that can be put aside until later while you take care of the things that need to be handled sooner. By having a good plan of everything that needs to be done and setting up a timeline of when these things need to be completed, you can have the wedding of your dreams without stressing too much.

Wedding songs play a vital role throughout the entire wedding day. Wedding songs help create the mood and ambience of the day from start to end. Choosing the right wedding songs can also help accentuate the emotional significance of the occasion for a more memorable celebration.
In earlier years many weddings showcased traditional wedding songs. However, nowadays there is no limit to the type of wedding songs that couples can choose to play on their wedding day. Selecting wedding songs is also one of the fun things that couples can do to prepare for their wedding day. Most couples prefer choosing wedding songs that have a significant meaning to them in order to create a more unique and personal atmosphere for their wedding day. A song that was played on their first date or songs of the couple's favourite artist are typical selections for wedding songs of many couples. Things to remember when selecting wedding songs When selecting wedding songs, it is important to take into consideration the venue for the ceremony. Most wedding ceremonies often take place in a church, couples should first check with the minister if there are any restrictions to the type of wedding songs that can be played. Some churches have concerns regarding the kind of wedding songs that should be played during the sacrament of matrimony. Other venues may not have a strict policy regarding the variety of wedding songs to be played. However it is still a good idea to choose wedding songs for the ceremony that would not turn the occasion into a comedy act. It is best to reserve the entertaining wedding songs for the reception where everyone can cut loose to the music. Another important factor to consider is the selection of the band or DJ who will play the wedding songs during the reception. Couples with a more traditional wedding theme may opt for a classical ensemble to perform wedding songs at their reception. For an intimate gathering a solo pianist, flute trio or string quartet serve as an ideal choice to play classical wedding songs. For a more contemporary wedding theme, there are a number of professional bands that cater specifically to wedding receptions. Couples can also choose to hire a DJ to play wedding songs at the reception. Planning the wedding songs Couples need to select a number of wedding songs for different parts of the wedding. The type of wedding songs for the prelude music is used to welcome family and friends to the ceremony. Happy and festive wedding songs can help set the tone for the entire wedding day. Wedding songs for the processional of the wedding party marks the start of the ceremony. The songs are meant to usher in the wedding party and to prepare the guests for the entrance of the bride. The processional is the critical moment of the ceremony. Though many would opt for the traditional wedding march, it is also a good idea to select different wedding songs that can make it more memorable. The interludes are the various moments during the ceremony wherein a number of wedding songs can help enhance the overwhelming emotion of the occasion. Wedding songs during the recessional should be festive to celebrate the official union of the couple. The postlude wedding songs are meant to create a pleasant atmosphere to thank guests for coming to the ceremony. We would love to hear your thoughts.
