			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women and men alike go through this. It&#8217;s called the wedding planning stress syndrome. Women go through it more than men because let&#8217;s face it ladies, we are the ones who stress out the most. It&#8217;s in our genetic pool. When we are under pressure, we melt. So, what does this syndrome look like? It&#8217;s not pretty.</p>
<p>Now, brides who undergo this and want everything to be perfect actually have a name to go with this. They are often referred to as Bridezillas. This is where you start wanting everything so perfect that you snap at everyone around you. Women get the it&#8217;s my <a href="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/stress_free_wedding.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-70" style="margin: 12px;" title="stress_free_wedding" src="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/stress_free_wedding-300x217.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="217" /></a>wedding attitude. You start telling that to everyone who doesn&#8217;t giveyou what you want.</p>
<p>With this syndrome, you start losing sleep. It&#8217;s hard to sleep when you are constantly thinking about the things that need to be done and all the horrible scenarios that could happen. Never thinking about the good scenarios. With this, you might be fatigued. You might get headaches and muscle aches due to the fact that you are always tense.</p>
<p>You might find that your temper is off too. Even those who find that normally they are low level when it comes to stress and that they can deal with most things, by the time of a wedding, even they crack. You might be quicker to raise your voice. Tears are usually there for women.</p>
<p>The last thing you might find with this syndrome is that you might get cold feet. You think that you can&#8217;t do this. If cold feet doesn&#8217;t happen, many couples think about either not going through with it or going a cheaper and less stressful way. This would be to elope. So, now you have a glimpse into this ugly thing and can anticipate it soon after he drops to one knee and asks if you will marry him.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The question’s been popped – now what? The reality is whether your wedding is 25 people and $10,000 or over 300 guests and tops a hundred grand, you’re going to need some place to start all of your planning. Chances are, if you’re like every other woman out there, you’ve been thinking about your wedding since you were little. There are some of us out there, however, that need a little help. So, now that you’ve shouted “Yes!” from every rooftop, where do you begin planning the first day of the rest of your life… together?</p>
<p>The best thing you can do for yourself is create a wedding notebook. There are virtually thousands of wedding vendors out there and here’s the greatest piece of information: nearly all of them offer free samples (with the exception of wedding dresses and such, of course). Create an e-mail specifically for your bridal and wedding information.</p>
<p><a href="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/wedding_planning.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-76" style="margin: 12px;" title="wedding_planning" src="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/wedding_planning-276x300.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="300" /></a>Begin your search for the perfect venue, dress, colors, and cakes online and in bridal magazines, making note in your wedding notebook what you like. It’s also a good idea to keep a list or make notes of the things you don’t like just in case you get in touch with a wedding planner. Give yourself an idea of what kind of setting you want: are you marrying in the summer with a beach wedding or in the fall under colorful foliage?</p>
<p>Focus on four main things, one thing at a time: the venue, the theme, the budget, and guests. Choose what is most important to you first to focus on (normally the budget, then the guest count).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When planning your wedding there are several things you need to keep in mind. Proper planning is vital so that the wedding will be a beautiful and memorable experience.</p>
<p>You must choose a location. Some want the actual ceremony to be in their place of worship. Some prefer an outdoor setting such as a park or the beach. Finding the perfect location will set the tone for the wedding.</p>
<p>Select a location for the reception that is as close to the wedding as possible. This will make it easier on your guests and you. Whether this location can be indoors or out, choose a place that is large enough to accommodate all of your guests.</p>
<p>Next you need to plan a color scheme. You can choose a black and white wedding, which has become very popular of late. You can simply pick your favorite color and plan around that. Or, you can choose a color based on the season in which you are getting married.</p>
<p>Once you have your color picked out you have to select the bridal parties clothing. As a rule tuxedoes for the men with a tie and cummerbund in the color selected will work <a href="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/WeddingPlanning_606web.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-60" style="margin: 12px;" title="WeddingPlanning_606web" src="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/WeddingPlanning_606web-300x163.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="163" /></a>nicely. For the women, you may want to consider body types when selecting a dress pattern. You want each girl to feel comfortable in the dress you choose. If you have a variety of sizes and builds in your party you may wish to choose a different style dress for each member. Doing so will still make for a beautiful wedding.</p>
<p>You have every one dressed and ready, now you need flowers and boutonnières. Whether you choose fresh, silk or some other type you are sure to find something in whatever color scheme you have picked.</p>
<p>Don’t forget the reception items: the cake, food, plates, napkins, tablecloths and decorations. If possible you may want to select a friend or family member to help you organize all of these items.</p>
<p>There is definitely a lot to consider when planning a wedding. But, with a lot of forethought and some help from friends and family, you are sure to have a wonderful and enjoyable day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flowers are an important part of any wedding. Flowers symbolize many different things and at your wedding, they represent beauty, love and the “fragrance” of a new couple starting out their lives together. </p>
<p>If you are getting married soon, you are going to discover that silk wedding flowers are the new and improved flower to have at any wedding.  And they are available in large quantities. TV star and wedding planner David Tutera would probably not approve, but if you are on a budget, this could work for you.</p>
<p>An added benefit is that you can try your hand at do it yourself wedding flower arrangements and bouquets, which are especially fun to create. When planning for a wedding, choosing the flowers can be enjoyable for you, and members of your bridal party might even come up with great ideas that you would not have of thought of on your own.<div id="attachment_196" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/flowers-on-guest-book-table.jpg"><img src="http://planningforawedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/flowers-on-guest-book-table-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="flowers on guest book table" width="224" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-196" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Flowers on Guest Book Table</p></div></p>
<p>Of course, you may prefer to use real flowers. Choosing between silk flowers and real flowers is sometimes a difficult task because silk flowers look real. But most people opt for real flowers because they have a beautiful fragrance. When choosing flowers it is a good idea to work with a florist, since they are able to show different displays and arrangements that can stimulate ideas that can turn out to be very unique. Adding cut flowers to your arrangements from various plants can really spruce up the arrangement, as well as using candles, ribbons, candy or little figurines in your arrangement.</p>
<p>Spring and summer wedding flowers have delicate petals and either pastels or bright colors that are beautiful for bouquets or flower arrangements. Fall weddings can have bold yellows, oranges, and deep reds. Winter bouquets and arrangements can be white, blue, gold, red and green.</p>
<p>Many online sites offer a variety of different choices; plus you are able to get the flowers at a discount much of the time. Moreover, their arrangements change from time to time, so you can always expect something new and get ideas during your wedding planning time.</p>
<p>So how do you know which online florist is trustworthy to give you superior product quality and top delivery efficiency? Many flower stores offer the same day delivery service, but check with the store because sometimes there is a distance restriction. They should offer a guarantee for delivery on the date specified and use an encryption system for processing credit card payments online. Discount flower delivery services are available on both the national and local level. Of course, you can go directly to a local flower shop and place an order for future delivery.</p>
