Tradition has it that the bride’s father is the host of his daughter’s wedding. In times past that meant paying for the reception too, though this is not often automatically assumed today. In keeping with that custom, the bride’s father usually acts as the host for the wedding reception.

For some weddings a professional master of ceremonies is engaged, especially for society weddings. At many weddings the bride’s father is will give an opening speech and propose the toast to the newly married couple at the start of the wedding reception, and continue to act as MC for the following proceedings.

There are five key steps to a good father of the bride speech.

The first item is to say some welcoming words to set the atmosphere and create a celebratory mood for a memorable wedding reception. The primary goal is to help the guests to relax. A good way to achieve this is to discuss the wedding ceremony, how beautiful the bride looks, the location chosen for the reception or even the weather — things that all the guests will have an opinion about — and how much you are excited about meeting everyone and sharing the reception with them.

Secondly, playing the role of the host, the bride’s father extends a welcome to all of the guests. It is traditional to introduce any special guests, especially the groom’s family and any guests who have gone to some trouble to get to the wedding. Absent guests are often mentioned at this point too, especially people who are important to the bride or groom but who couldn’t make it to the wedding. A loved grandparent or apopular relative who may have recently passed on is often spoken about at this point.

A third vital section of the speech is to create interest about what is to come at the reception, such as the highlight of the best man’s speech and entertainment scheduled during the reception. Any plans to follow the reception could be referred to. Your guests will relax more when they know what lies ahead.

As a fourth step in their wedding speech, most proud fathers want to say a few heartfelt words among friends and family about the bride, their daughter. Finding the right words to say is often the most difficult part of the speech to prepare for fathers. There is not just one way to express your love for your daughter. Telling stories, possibly funny stories, about your daughter meeting the groom and quoting poetry are popular approaches, among many others.

Finally, to direct the attention of the wedding guests firmly on the newlyweds it is customary for the bride’s father to call for guests to join him in a toast to the bride and groom. Choosing the right words for the toast is a vital step in planning the speech.

All fathers of the bride will inject their own style of speaking, humor and emotions into their speech around this simple five stage framework.

Few fathers will have much experience speaking at their own daughter’s wedding. Most will find a professionally prepared wedding speech guide is very helpful. Speech outlines or templates, and examples of father of the bride speeches, can be downloaded, along with checklists of things and people that should not be overlooked. Time saving resources, such as popular wedding toasts, jokes, quotes and poems are available to select from. Not only do such resources save time preparing the father of the bride speech – they also lift confidence.

The one time you do not want to see any specious flowers or plants is during a garden wedding. Even as it is true that wedding planners are notorious for their use of these fake flora in order to bring to the forefront a certain mood or ambiance, within the confines of a beautiful garden wedding, these kinds of decorations should be avoided.

At the very heart of a nature setting is of course the purity of the elements as well as the purity of the emotions it evokes. Unadulterated love is being celebrated at this kind of outdoor marriage celebration and the clean air, the scents of the flowers, and the gentle rustling of the breeze in the tree tops makes for the ideal backdrop to this kind of occasion.

As a wedding planner you wish to ensure to preserve the integrity of the nature theme while at the same time working within the confines of the budget concerns your client couple may have as well as the available locations. Another thing to consider when planning a garden wedding is of course the weather. While many understand that a November garden wedding is ill advised ? no matter where in the country you reside ? because of the possibility of inclement weather, it is also true that with a bit finesse you will be able to present the kind of venue to your clients that comes close to the garden without actually being located out of doors.

Make yourself aware of local venues related to horticulture. These may include private rooftop gardens, large greenhouses, municipal conservatories, an enclosed portion of an arboretum, and a host of other locales where the outdoors are conveniently moved inside. Of course, if the weather cooperates, then the perfect nature themed wedding will be the garden celebration during the late morning or early evening hours when the sunlight is soft and the flowers are opened. The perfect sun will also show off your different engagement rings.

If you are outdoors, ensure that a rented canopy or tent is at hand and may be unrolled within seconds to cover the bridal party and the guests in case of a rainstorm. Furthermore, the wise wedding planner knows the local fauna as well as flora, and will carry ant spray, wasp repellent and also mosquito candles as a matter of necessity during such weddings.

Integrate the color scheme of the venue where the nuptials are being held and ensure that the flowers you will see during the ceremony may have their likenesses found on the cake as well. Some couples may wish to incorporate animals into their themed wedding and while this may make for a stunning ambiance it is wise to discourage this notion. Children present may seek to interact with the animals in ways that are not appropriate and if the reception is to take place in the same venue, the possibility of the animals ingesting food they are not permitted to eat is great. It is best to rely on just flora and other props for ambiance.

You’ve just been asked to make a wedding toast at a special friend’s wedding. It’s a wonderful honor to be asked but you have never paid attention to what people actually say during wedding speeches. You also are more afraid of public speaking than rattlesnakes, earthquakes and broccoli soup with quiche combined.

The idea of being a best man is very appealing. There’s nothing you would rather do for your best bud on his wedding day than dazzle wedding guests with a superb wedding toast and share heartfelt sentiments, but public speaking and you, well those words were never meant to be in the same sentence.

So after you get that cold sweat under control, where do you start when writing and delivering a wedding toast? How do you harness the jitters and use them to your advantage. What on earth do you say, you who are known as the strong, silent type?

Here are some pointers on making a superb wedding toast.

- You can’t get started too early. It’s absolutely essential to do your homework if you want to give a successful wedding speech. Do your research. Search out books and articles on the web and in the local library on giving wedding toasts. Talk to other “best men” about their experiences.

- Harness those jitters. The noise of knocking knees is only slightly different from the sound of applause, after all. Work with your fear to help it make your wedding speech the best ever.

- Write, edit, relax and don’t look at the wedding toast for a few days. Then repeat the process as often as necessary until you just know you have done the best job you can. Look at this as a journey and try to enjoy the whole thing, otherwise it will just seem like a chore that you want to get out of the way.

- A bit of laughter, some smiles, these are what you are aiming for when you use humor in a wedding speech. Never tell intimate stories, use crude language or off-color jokes. Never!

- Share how you met the groom, how long you have known each other and one or two of your exploits. Talk about when he introduced you to his bride, how beautiful and talented and perfect for him she is and how you believe their marriage is bound to be wonderful. Make your wedding toast remarks tasteful and sincere.

- Shorter is better. Try for three to five minutes for your wedding speech.

- Mirror, mirror, who is the best prepared of all? Run through your wedding speech, gestures and all in front of a full-length mirror. Use a stopwatch.

- Take five. Try to grab a few moments in the exact place where you will be giving your wedding speech to get a feel for the mike and the room from that vantage point.

- Lift a full glass for the toast. Raise your arm from the shoulder and lock eyes with the bride and groom when you toast them at the end of your wedding speech.

- Move to the bride and groom and hug them when your wedding toast is complete. Then it’s back to your seat amidst well-earned applause.

Is a fall wedding a sound idea? After all, June is the premier month for weddings and it may feel a bit odd to consider going against tradition to such an extent. Yet the numbers of those choosing a fall wedding are beginning to add up and if you have ever had the fortune to attend a marriage celebration that was able to capture the very essence of the season you understand what makes this an almost irresistible season for this occasion!

When compared to the June nuptials with their soft pastels and light colors, fall is the season that inspires boldness and lush, rich colors as well as heavy textures. Warm colors in the shades of sweet potatoes, earth tones, fir trees, ripe corn, and the reds and golds of falling leaves are all invited to the party.

Of course, if you thought it was just the bold color palette that made for an exciting fall wedding, you are mistaken! Locations that capture not only the sight but also the sound of the season now add to the plethora of reasons for choosing this exciting time of year for a celebration of such life changing magnitude! Imagine the sound of the wind as it gently moves a field of rip sunflowers, or the breeze that rustles the leaves in the orchard where a few apples not yet picked will give off a heady scent. Other locales frequently chosen are vineyards, country churches, or fields.

Foods served at the reception may include not just the traditional rubber chicken dinners with which almost everyone is familiar, but instead they may capitalize on the harvest richness that includes fragrant breads, jams, jellies, hams, nuts, squashes and a wide array of fruits and other veggies. For party favors these also translate into wonderful packages to be added to candles using maple extract as one of its main compounds. Other great gifts include marzipan reproductions of fruits as well as gilded nuts.

Take the color scheme a step further by opting for a traditional wedding dress which is dressed up with special accents for the fall colors. Instead of the traditional black tuxedo, why not have the groom dressed in a rich brown suit? Make the flowers match your aquamarine engagement ring. Use special fall blooming flowers to adorn your wedding location or use them later on to provide accents of color during your reception. You will find that these rich colors and usually bigger blooms will make for an amazing effect among the smaller winter squashes.

Similarly, consider making the smells of the season one of the aspects of your reception. Light maple candles or rich beeswax candles where the scent of the wax will permeate the location and offer a way for the season to enter into the hall. A roaring fireplace instead of central heating is a great way to round out the atmosphere, and the odds are good that your wedding – rather than your cousin’s – will be the memorable event of the year!

Having your diamond wedding rings match your partners engagement ring is an important issue when you go to choose them. Often, well decorated rings may look good on but detract attention from the engagement ring; this is why it is so important to try a number on first. When two people say their vows to stay with each other, it is clearly symbolized in the circular form of the wedding ring they then place on one another’s finger. In some parts of the world the wedding ring is the last gift to be presented after a long line of pre-marriage presents.

Today this tradition has evolved into a new way to express the continuance of commitment in marriage with the giving of an ‘eternity’ ring, to symbolize the happiness of a lasting marriage. If you and your partner really want to “personalize your diamond wedding rings”, you need to have them engraved; this will make them not only unique but extremely personal to you and your partner. If you think the ring is too plain for you, perhaps you should consider a beaded edge or an engraved style; remember the rings should be a reflection of you and your partner. Just remember, the wedding rings are for you both so whatever you choose will be right.

Unlike some jewelry you may buy during your life, your wedding ring is very special; do not treat it like another piece of jewelry as it will not often leave your finger. It is not worth trying to find the cheapest you can because it will undermine their importance. It is possible to buy diamond wedding rings inexpensively but this should not be done as it undermines the significance and you can be sure the rings will not stand the test of time. You must also ensure they fit snugly; after all you wouldn’t want to lose one or both on the wedding day.

Don’t, whatever you do, guess the size if your fingers; get them measured professionally when you choose you diamond wedding rings. Having them made to measure will ensure they are not too tight to put on or so loose they fall off. Therefore it is important that you allow the jeweler enough time to complete your order by your wedding day. Be sure that you go looking a few months before your wedding so the rings will be ready for your big day; the jeweler may have other rings to adjust so giving a few months notice ensures they will be ready in good time.

Having an extensive choice of styles and designs is good but it can take quite some time to choose which suits both you and your partner the best. Follow your instincts with the look and design of your diamond wedding rings; ask yourself if it will be a design you’ll be comfortable wearing every day and will endure the test of time and not become a fashion victim. As far as the world is concerned, your wedding rings are a statement of your love for each other and your commitment to the marriage.
