Which one to use, comes down to which fragrance(s) you find most pleasing. You will want to make sure to smell the essential oil prior to using it in order to select the best fragrance for you.

Planning Successful Summer Weddings


Planning Successful Summer Weddings  - Next to fall, summer is one of the most popular seasons to host a weeding. The warm air, sunshine and scenery make for a terrific environment to exchange vows with the one you love. However, when planning a summer wedding there are several important details one needs to keep in mind to ensure the ceremony is successful and enjoyed by all. Though summer is an enjoyable season you do have to factor in excessive heat, insects and sudden rain that could disrupt your wedding. When you plan ahead you can be prepared for outdoor hazards and provide the necessary cover to make your wedding a memorable event.

While many people anticipate a bright and sunny day for their wedding in June, July or August summer is known for sudden rain squalls. If you are planning a wedding during these months and will be having it outdoors make sure to have canopy tents set up. Tents not only can protect guests from sudden rain but will also provide necessary shade for guests who need relief from the heat. You will also want canopy tents set up for the wedding DJ and bar and food stations so people working the event don't suffer from too much sun exposure.

Another thing to keep in mind when setting up for the big wedding day is the possibility guests may suffer from heat exhaustion. Weddings are full of dancing and partying and it's common for guests to work up a sweat while celebrating. This is often not a problem in the fall or winter but outside in 80 degree heat with a burning sun bearing down it can be a major concern. Plan on having plenty of bottled water in buckets of ice or coolers strategically placed around the wedding facility so guests can stay hydrated. You may even want to consider setting up fans and mist sprayers that can provide instant relief from the heat.

Lastly, a summer wedding can easily be ruined with the sudden arrival of gnats, mosquitoes and other bothersome insects. These bugs smell food miles away and when you're throwing a big outdoor wedding expect these uninvited guests to make themselves right at home. While you can't erect a shield around the entire surrounding you can outfit canopy tents with side panels and clear plastic windows that will provide a comfortable shelter for guests while they eat. You can also find canopy tents with mesh screens that allow a cool breeze to blow in while keeping all the bugs away. When you plan a summer wedding properly you can rest easy knowing everyone will be comfortable and have a good time.

Planning A Wedding With A Limited Budget

Planning A Wedding With A Limited Budget  - Do you find yourself organizing a wedding on a modest budget? You may find it is usually not as difficult than you expect. Weddings are notoriously expensive but if you continue an eye on the cost, you'll be able to save a bundle.

This means that the first rule of thumb of planning a wedding with a limited budget is to have a note of all the things you spend or decide to spend. You might need to develop a spreadsheet on your laptop with all the current headings on the left, associated with a ballpark budget figure for each one that you can set at the moment, and then a closer estimate of the actual cost when you've information from caterers etc.

When you are planning a wedding on a small budget, remember that the only essential expense for a wedding is the marriage license. Anything further than that is what you choose to spend. It is matter of setting your priorities and deciding it is important to you.

Of course, most people will have at least a few wedding guests and offer them with a meal. If you are on a very tight budget, this could be done at somebody's house. But you will most likely have it catered by professionals.

Make sure you comparison shop to find who can supply a good tasty meal for a low cost, but don't forget that with catering you frequently get what you pay for. Explain to the caterers that you will be on a strict budget and ask for less costly menu options. Consider limiting the choice of alcoholic drinks, for instance by offering only wine and beer instead of a full bar.

Be ruthless with the guest list because this is the biggest cost of most weddings. Never feel obligated to invite everybody. In fact in most cases, the fewer people you invite, the less you will hurt anybody's feelings. If you cannot invite all of your work colleagues it may be best to invite none.

The wedding dress can be an expensive item so this is another thing you'll want to consider when you are planning a wedding on a small wedding budget. Does the gown have to be new? Would you consider hiring?
How about asking mothers, aunts and grandmothers whether anybody has an heirloom dress from their own wedding that could be tailored to fit the younger generation bride? A classic 1950s, 60s or 70s dress could be beautiful, and you can theme your wedding day around it.

Many other costs can be cut or avoided. Many people probably have twice as many flowers as they need at weddings, for instance. You don't need to provide expensive wedding mementos, centerpieces or have heavy printed invitations. You can make many of these things yourself or ask them to be made by friends when you are planning a wedding with a small budget.
