It might be time to quit this future king and queen if any of these symptoms apply to you:

1. You’ve decided you want a tiara for for your wedding…and your shower…and your bachelorette party…and your rehearsal dinner…
2. Your simple church service has now turned into an hour-long procession complete with honor guard and marching band.
3. Suddenly a strapless dress seems so common(er).
4. You keep having nightmares about your MOH stealing your spotlight (maybe that last-minute white dress selection was a bad idea after all?).
5. Your local Starbucks can’t keep up with your daily tea and scone demands.
6. Whiny 3-year-old niece in the wedding? Sure, as long as she’s super-viral.
7. Yes, it is a little weird that you keep referring to your out-of-town guests as “visiting dignitaries and “heads of state.”
8. When you said you were changing your name nobody assumed you meant you were adding “Duchess” or “Your Majesty.”
9. Forcing your groom to wear a bunch of medals he won in high school track and field (in an effort to look more “posh) might be pushing it.
10. Oh sure, demanding your local news station broadcast your wedding live was funny at first, but now they’re seriously considering a restraining order.
Burnt out on the royal wedding or can’t get enough of it? Add your two cents now!

Wedding Budget vs. Real Wedding Cost in Orlando, Florida

You know what you want but, when it comes to knowing how much what you want costs, is another story. Do you have a clue as to what your wedding will really cost? If so, you are an anomaly. Some brides know their wedding budget, but have a hard time dispersing so there is money left for things that they don't pay for during the initial wedding planning process. If you don't want to not have music entertainment or a delicious wedding cake or a fabulous getaway car, then make sure that you know approximately what your wedding will cost. Get all your faves from your wedding wish list, and be smart along the way.

On average, couples that live in or travel to Orlando, FL spend between $18,546 and $30,910 total for Market Summary

Original Wedding Photo Ideas

Original Wedding Photo Ideas

Published: 07/25/2010
We’ve all seen a traditional wedding photo blown up, framed and hung above the fireplace. Typically it’s a shot of the entire wedding party, groomsmen next to the groom and bridesmaids next to the bride with the flower girl and ring bearer tucked somewhere under a firm grasp.
Or maybe you’ve seen a mantle adorned with the photo of two glowing faces, posing perfectly
under a tree, near a pond, or precariously close to a fountain.
The traditional wedding photo can be quite beautiful, but what does it say about the newly espoused couple? They’re traditional? They like trees, ponds and fountains?
You must certainly have more to share than that.
Before your big day rolls around, talk to your photographer about what you want to express through your wedding pics.
Encourage him or her to take tons of candid shots. Photos are most emotional when the subjects aren’t posing or really even aware they’re being photographed.

Consider some of these fun and creative photo ideas:

Props
• Bride and Groom wearing their coolest, funkiest pair of shades
• Wear fake mustaches, pass them around to your guests to enjoy
• Don fun hats like fedoras, sombreros, Western, baseball caps or crowns
• Share a chocolate milkshake or heaping pile of French fries (substitute with your faves)

Activities
• Skip (carefully, or barefoot) through a grassy yard
• Sing karaoke
• Ride bicycles
• Climb over fences or up a tree
• Take a tequila shot together
• Hike up your dress and play a game of Texas Hold ’em

Places you love
• Your local farmer’s market
• Your garden
• The tennis court, golf course or diving board
• Your local haunts: a café or greasy spoon diner

Non-traditional poses
• Recline on a blanket spread out in the grass
• Lift your dress to expose your gorgeous shoes
• Have the groom lift his pant legs to expose his quirky argyle socks
• Stand on something: a rock wall, a roof or chairs
• Stand in something: a fountain, a wheelbarrow or a classic convertible
• Walk down a busy sidewalk, surrounded by regular people in regular clothes
• Hold a large, empty frame around your faces and laugh
• Bride or Groom (or both) look directly into the camera while the wedding party mingles, talks and primps in the background

Whatever you decide, make sure it expresses you and your Groom as individuals and as a
couple. But don’t forget your guests. Some of the best shots are of friends and family genuinely
enjoying your day -- dancing, laughing, singing, eating, drinking and celebrating.
