I was among the last of my group of friends to get married, so I had a chance to see how they dealt with wedding planning. They did not make it look appealing! They would stress out about every little matter of wedding decorations, until I thought that it was a nightmare to even plan a wedding. When it was my turn to do it myself, however, I was surprised at how much fun it was. Not only was it not excessively difficult, but it was a great opportunity to express myself. I suppose that wedding decorating all comes down to what you make of it. If you are the type of person who likes setting up parties, decorating rooms, arranging events, and the like, planning a wedding will be easy for you. If you're the type of person who worries and stresses about it instead of enjoying, it will be a huge pain in the neck. My advice is to not stress too much about wedding decorating. Try to make it fun.

I had always wanted to have a huge party with all of my friends there, a chance to really set up a perfect ambiance and plan a perfect evening. A wedding gave me the chance to do just that. That was what was so great about planning a wedding. I got to pick out wedding colors, find the perfect location, design the bridesmaid dresses, and even wear a beautiful bridal gown. At your wedding, after all, you are the guest of honor as well as the host. That is practically a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! That is why you should make the most of it, enjoying every moment, from planning the wedding decorating to going through the ceremony.

Bit of History

Women born at the turn of the century have been conditioned not to speak openly of their wedding nights. Of other nights in bed with other men they speak not at all. Today a woman having bedded with a great general feels free to tell us that in bed the general could not present arms. Women of my generation would have spared the great general the revelation of this failure.

—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)

One of the best elements for wedding decorating is candles. Streamers, lighting, photographs, and wedding centerpieces all play a part, but having the right candle accents can really add something beautiful and classical to a wedding ceremony and reception. In the case of our wedding, we opted to have a reflecting pool filled with candles put in the center of the party. The tables were arranged around it, and all of them were bathed in a dull glow from the flickering flames. Not only was it romantic, but it also kept the bugs away from the guests at our outdoor wedding reception. It was just one of many successful decorative elements at our wedding reception.
