Adding details

There are certain things you can do for very little money to create elegance at your wedding.

1. Instead of just verbally asking your bridesmaids to be a part of your wedding day, how about sending each one of them a personal note on beautiful stationery asking them to be a part of your special day and telling them why you have chosen them. Making someone feel special is a gift that has nothing to do your bank account but everything to do with your feelings towards them.

2. Ask your florist to loosely secure two flowers to your bouquet. When you are pronounced man and wife, have your husband take one of the flowers from your bouquet and present it to your mother with a hug, while you do the same for his mother right before the recessional. Joining your families together with a symbolic gesture of love will go a long way to binding their hearts to yours.

3. Have your parking valet place a CD of a special recording that you and your husband have recorded on the seats of the guest's cars so that they will hear you thanking them for coming to help you celebrate your wedding day as they drive home.
