A: Most often, the bride and groom are joined by either their attendants with their dates, or by immediate family members. The head table may accommodate as few as eight or as many as 24 people, so it can be as intimate or as lively as you like.
Q: Do groomsmen typically serve as ushers at the ceremony?
A:The groomsmen often do act as ushers, escorting guests to their seats before the ceremony. But you may have ushers in addition to groomsmen if you would like to give additional friends or family members roles in the wedding. If you elect to have both ushers and groomsmen, the ushers may wear a less formal variation of the groomsmen’s attire.
Q: Can you suggest elegant, non-floral centerpieces for our reception?
A: How about vintage glass bowls filled with fruit, or long wooden trays scattered with seashells and candles. Potted herbs offer the natural look of flowers and are incredibly fragrant. Achieve a very simple yet sophisticated style with clustered candles on silver trays; each arrangement will look beautiful on its own, and the tray will magnify the glow of the candlelight.

Avoid thinking of registering as a terrific birthday party. An unlimited gift grab. Don’t blow this opportunity to make serious choices that will reflect the lifestyle you are going to share.
The bridal couple needs a healthy spirit of cooperation if they are going to do themselves and their guests a favour.
Four Steps
1) Sit together and talk about the lifestyle you will share. Does one of you enjoy cooking? Do both of you like to cook? Do you expect to do much entertaining? How will you entertain? Sit-down dinners? Buffets? Barbecues? Will your lifestyle be super-casual or somewhat formal?
2) Now start making practical notes:
-How large is your home?
-Note the size of each room
-Decided on a colour scheme for the home ( and specifically for each room)
- List the items in each room that you already have. Then list the things in each room that you will want or need
3) Go to a store, together, with your list in hand and browse. You may find ideas that are new and fresh, so this is the time to delete, change and add to the original list
4) Now is the time to register. Take your revised list with you. At this point, you will have defined your lifestyle and shared your perceptions of what your home should express.
