Undoubtedly, your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life. It marks new beginnings; compassion, friendship and lasting love! However, with all that said, the day can come with several difficulties – worry not, and read on to know the tricks to handle all those unexpected occurrences on your special day. We guarantee, once you know these wedding-day hacks, nothing can spoil your day!
1. Wedding Dress Horror!
2. Unexpected Rainfall
Everything looks perfect, the guests are seated, it’s nice and breezy, and you’re all set to say your vows under the open sky when it starts pouring. And it’s not just light rain, but heavy showers that are bound to spoil your day. What do you do?!
Tip: for outdoor weddings in the monsoon season, the best is to give away umbrellas. YES! Whether it’s sunny or pouring from the sky, an umbrella can come to the rescue! Also, it just makes the atmosphere even more romantic! Enjoy the moment and celebrate your day!
3. Hidden Charges/Incomplete Service from the Caterers/Vendors
You had a detailed talk with all your vendors including caterers, florists, venue decorators, etc. Later, you renegotiated the deal and had additional services included. However, you didn’t receive the revised dealing in paper. The vendor didn’t follow the revised plan on your day. What do you do now?!
Tip: Make sure everything you want to get done from various vendors is on paper. Every little detail should be included. Ask for a receipt each time you make additions or changes. Keep all receipts with you for record and to tally at the time of payment later. Else you can always have the vendor asking you for extra money, and you won’t have any proof to prove your point.
4. Your Caterer Backs Out at the Last Minute
Oh well, unfortunate and unexpected incidents do happen. A caterer may fall short of staff on that particular day, have an accident, or it may be due to other external factors that the catering service company has to refuse to provide services at your reception in Bensalem PA. What now?
Tip: the best thing to avoid such a thing is to opt for a venue that includes catering services as well. E.g. a restaurant rooftop, a country club, a banquet hall, etc. Most of the packages from such venues include catering services so there is a slim chance that a country club will back out at the eleventh hour.
The saying “hope for the best and prepare for the worst” fits well with wedding reception preparations. Make sure you’ve got everything in order and have foolproof planning from your end, and hope for it to work out as planned. Even if some minor glitches occur, go with the flow and enjoy your day to the fullest.
1. Wedding Dress Horror!
You’re all set to head out for your wedding reception ceremony when someone accidentally spills tea/juice or something on it. That’s one of the worst things that can happen to a bride on her wedding day! What do you do?
Tip: Don’t panic. Take a big cotton ball, dip it in powder and let it be. The powder will absorb the stain. Another hack to clear stain is to use lemon dish detergent. YES! It will clear away all sorts of makeup stains. Dampen the area with water. Apply the detergent. Rub with a toothbrush. And tap with a towel. This will leave no or very vague stains.
