Get Your Dance On! (Day#7)

One of my April weddings had this wonderful idea to provide flip-flops for the ladies when the dancing portion of the reception began.  Purple "dancing shoes" sat effortlessly in a decorated basket right in front of the DJ's table for the female guests to grab.  Only problem was...the male guests wanted a pair, too! LOL! Ladies have all the luck :)

Making Sure Guests Are Comfortable

Plenty though goes into the design elements of planning a wedding, but what about the comfort of your guests as they spend at minimum an 8-hour day of celebrating with you and your soon-to-husband. Consider some of the ideas below, especially if the ceremony and/or reception is outside.


How about a water station set-up before or after the ceremony especially if it's a hot day.


Consider giving guests suntan lotion if the days activities are going to be outdoors...and they can double as wedding favors.


Use Parasols when the ceremony is outside to shade away the bride sun.


How about placing fans on the ceremony chairs and depending on the design, they can double as wedding programs.


Place a basket of Flip Flops near the DJ for the ladies who want to dance the night away, but their heels might prevent it from happening.


Until next time...WEDologize!

Dancing With Daddy

While sitting in church a few Sunday's ago, I witnessed the beautiful relationship between a little girl and her daddy. She kept dropping her sippy cup and he kept picking it back up without hesitation. Then on the last time, she kissed his nose and he beamed with joy! Many bride's simply adore their fathers...like I do...and the Father & Daughter Dance has just as much meaning as her first dance with her husband.

Below I've listed a few of my favorites that work particularly well for the Father & Daughter Dance. But should you be having difficulties in making your selection, speak with your DJ or the band leader for some options. Then include your father in making the song selection as this will be the last dance he has with his little girl...as she's now become a wife.
