Make your wedding a personal statement
A wedding is a celebration universal
yet diversified in- style and presentation.
No other event creates as much joy and
excitement — not only for the bride and
;room but for everyone involved'
What makes it even more exciting to-
day are the different options that are
available to couples. Marriage today has
rm one formula. Whether you opt for get-
ting married when you are older or
younger, decide to have a dual -career
marriage or a more traditional union, the
one thing most brides and grooms agree
on is that you can make your marriage
what you want it to be.
This idea also carries over to he the
les actual
planning of the wedding. Most
to-
day share the responsibility of planning a
wedding.
Getting involved in the planning of the
ceremony as well as the celebration
is the best way to make your
afterwards
a personal statement of whom
wedding
you are.
Choosing the vows with which you feel
comfortable, or writing a good deal of the
ceremony yourselves, can help make you
feel that your wedding is a reflection of
whom you are as a couple
Your reception, too, should be planned
according to what you as a couple want
and enjoy.
There are many types of receptions
from which today's bride and groom can
choose. A traditional sit-down dinner is
as popular as ever Many couples like the
orderly, organized feeling this type of
seating arrangement conveys. Large as
well as small groups can accommodate
themselves to this type of arrangement.
A buffet dinner is also very popular
More casual in feeling, this type of recep-
tion allows people to move freely
amongst the other guests.
A buffet dinner also allows the bride
and groom more freedom when choosing
a menu. With this type of dinner, an ap-
pealing variety of dishes can be served.

Also, In many cases, a buffet dinner is
less expensive than the traditional sit-
down reception.
Another alternative that is becottung
increasingly popular is a cocktail hour
reception. Similar to a buffet reception, a
cocktail reception usually includes cham-
pagne with hot and cold hors d'oeuvre be-
ing circulated, or a buffet table with hors
d'oeuvre that people can help themselves
to, and a bar complete with wine as well
as hard liquor.
For those more Interested in a recep-
tion with a "country feeling", outdoor
luncheons complete with tent or awning
are always nice. You might even want
to serve a picnic lunch complete with in-
dividual baskets that would make the
event fun as well as easier to sere:
It is always the small details that real-
ly stand out when it comes to judging
which receptions are the most special.

special flair when it comes to decorating
for a wedding reception.
Flowers — whether exotic or wild —
add to the ambiance, as does music. Both
flowers and music can run into some
money, so it is best to research the dif-
ferent types available to you.
Flower arrangements range from pot-
ted plants placed on tables and arranged
strategically throughout the reception
area to wild flowers strewn in baskets, to
the very delicate single white Lily in a
vase.
There is music to suit everyone's taste
and, because it is a universal language
you can be sure that no matter what type
you choose, it is sure to be enjoyed by
most everyone.
With so many options to choose from in
terms of both lifestyle and types of wed-
dings, today's couples have to remember
to follow their hearts and do what
reflects their personal taste and style.
