If you’re planning a wedding, you have a lot to do so I won’t waste any time. Jumping right to the point, a well planned wedding is one of the most memorable experiences of your life. If you’re looking for some ideas to make your wedding stand out then you have come to the right place.
For the Pranksters
NBC has a new ‘reality’ show called The Real Wedding Crashers.If you have a good sense of humor, and you want to make sure your friends and family will never forget your wedding than this is a fun idea. The best way to understand what crashing your own wedding would include is to watch The Real Wedding Crashers on NBC at 8 pm EST beginning again on May 28.
For the Environmentalist
Green Weddings” are an environmentally conscious alternative to a traditional wedding. Don’t let the name fool you, the dress can still be white (although the brides dress is also entirely your choice. In this style of wedding, a hemp dress would be appropiate.)
This style is currently being featured on NBC’s daytime drama “Days of Our Lives”. For example, rather than having cut flower bouquets at your wedding, you would have potted plants.
Here are some sites to check out for tips on a Green Wedding:

For the Gothic (‘alternative lifestyle’)
Okay, you don’t have to be goth or ‘alternative’ to be interested in this style of wedding. If you can imagine yourself ‘going goth’ for this very special occasion, than there are a number of things you should know.
The brides dress can still be white. You can find white wedding gowns in a ‘gothic style’ by designers like Jeannie Nitro.
(See how pretty these dress are! http://www.jeannienitro.com/Bridal.htm )
This wedding style is not limited to gothic. This can cover a Masquerade, Rennaisance, or Halloween style wedding.
The thing is that it is your wedding, and it should suit your taste. It all begins with finding the right dress, everything else just follows.

For the Simplistic Personality
This may come as a shocking disbelief for some, but it is possible to get married for under $100 easily. All you really need is a Justice of the Peace, and a marriage certificate. Call it eloping if you must, but everything else is all glamour. At the end of the day, you may look at all the money spent and wonder if it was really worth it.
I have no websites to offer to help plan a wedding like this. With a wedding like this the only planning you need to do is about your future together.
For the Romanticist
Have a great story about the first time you met, or where? Well one difficult part of planning a wedding is finding the right location. Consider taking vows in the same place as your first date, or where you met. There is something very sweet about taking the next big step together in a place that holds personal importance.
A bonus, if this is appropiate, is that small businesses, like movie theatres or coffee shops, can be very low cost to book and still be acommadating to your wedding needs.
These are just a few ideas to display that your day can be what ever you want it to be. Congratulations, and best of luck to you!
