\"Lintker_sm-118\"What is a wedding?\u00a0 A wedding is a celebration of two people who unite their hearts and souls as one.\u00a0 How do you want to celebrate your wedding?\u00a0 What is important to you?\u00a0 Is it important to have your entire family and a multitude of friends in a lavish, elegant venue with the best food and entertainment that will make you \u201cthe #1\u201d wedding of the year, or \u2013 do you want something more intimate, more meaningful, a more casual celebration with close family and a few friends?\u00a0 \u00a0Or, is it something in between these two extremes?<\/p>\n

The most important thing to remember is that it is your wedding and you need to follow your heart.\u00a0 If you are choosing the lavish wedding the best advice for any future bride is to hire a wedding planner.\u00a0 If you are looking for a more casual, intimate celebration here are a few tips to keep you stress free and truly enjoy your wedding.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cut the fat and get to the core.\u00a0 Decide from the beginning what\u2019s important in the day\u2019s events for both of you.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to do a garter or bouquet toss.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to have a large, multiple tier cake, and you can choose a more relaxed menu like food stations.\u00a0 There are no rules.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose a venue that means something to you. Banquet halls or fancy hotel ballrooms are nice, but is it you?\u00a0 What about a more non-typical wedding venue.\u00a0 In St. Louis you could rent the Moto Museum (which has a neat display of antique motorcycles) or perhaps a small cabin or resort with a more relaxed atmosphere.<\/li>\n
  3. Minimize the number of bridesmaids and groomsmen in your wedding party.\u00a0 It just adds a lot more complication to the entire planning process, plus when you have large groups your photography during the day takes a lot longer, just because you need to coordinate more people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You want to remember this day as the best, most fun day of your life. \u00a0And most importantly, remember during the day to spend a few quiet moments with your groom. \u00a0So many couples are so busy during the day that they never take the time to share their feelings, take a walk, or spend time together. \u00a0After all, without him, there would be no wedding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
