Award-winning wedding planner Taylor Lea Thomas of Elite Soire an upscale event and wedding planning company -- unveils tips to have a celebrity style wedding on a budget from her much anticipated first book, Celebrity Weddings Recreated: How to have a Celebrity Style Wedding on a Budget. With a little creativity, the average bride can have her dream wedding on a limited budget.
Throughout Taylors book, a bride will be inspired with tips that celebrity brides used in their own weddings. Here are a few of Taylors favorite tips for the average bride to have a celebrity style wedding:
Tip Sometimes even the prettiest shade of pink isnt a girls best friend. Remember Tristas wedding? Instead, have a cocktail hour in your favorite color in a smaller setting rather than in an entire reception hall. For Star Jones $2 million fall wedding, she had a cocktail hour designed around a hot pink theme with a buffet of desserts in different shades of pink.
Tip Honoring the memory of your loved one during your ceremony is one way to create a truly personalized wedding. To make it even more special, ask your florist to include a favorite flower of a deceased loved one. Princess Diana included golden Mountbatten roses in her bouquet to honor the memory of Prince Charles late uncle.
Tip To save on the cost of a room rental, opt to have your wedding in the afternoon rather than in the evening since prices since tend to be on the lower end. Jennifer and Brads outdoor summer wedding was held on a Saturday afternoon in July of 2000. No one has to know youre trying to cut costs. Simply inform anyone that asks that youre having a Jen and Brad style wedding.
Tip Now that youre engaged, youve probably seen or heard of many ideas for your bouquet and centerpieces. But what do you do if youre allergic to most flowers like Debra Messing? For Debras fall wedding in 2000, she used calla lilies for her bouquet since theyre easier on the nose. You should too. Besides, you dont want to be sneezing profusely at the altar For centerpieces, a beautiful and oh-so-romantic alternative is to have floating candles in glass containers.
Tip Its okay for the groom to have something borrowed for the wedding as well. In his destination wedding to Carolyn Bessette on September 21, 1996 John F. Kennedy, Jr. wore his fathers watch and a pair of his cufflinks. It would be especially touching if the groom borrowed something his father wore in his wedding to the grooms mother.
Tip Here Comes the Bride is not your only option when walking down the isle. If the ceremony cite allows it, choose ceremony songs that best encapsulates your relationship like David Bowie did to his bride Iman in their summer wedding in June of 1992.
Tip Honor your family heritage by including it in your wedding. For example, Matt Lauer honored his brides background by having the menu cards printed in both languages. In her wedding to John Stamos, Rebecca Romijn honored her Dutch background when her family changed from their formal tuxes into farmer costumes and wooden shoes and sang Dutch songs during the reception.
The release date of Celebrity Weddings Recreated: How to have a Celebrity Style Wedding on a Budget is not yet known.
