The
shoes
Cinderella lost a slipper so her prince could find her, but you've
already got your man. Let's make sure your shoes stay on during
your dance. Click here for beautiful and comfortable wedding shoes.
The band, DJ and MC
Make sure your entertainer understands that your first dance is
choreographed. Tell them, repeatedly. If you hire a DJ, he should
play your song, or the medley created for you, from start to finish
with no fading out. If you hire a band, they should follow the
arrangement of your song without modifications. Give them a recording
of your song to be certain they match it. Instruct the master of
ceremonies not to invite others to join you during your dance or to
talk while you're dancing. This dance is one that you invest time,
money and effort to perfect. You cannot imagine the disappointment of
having this moment forever lost because of your entertainer.
Cueing the master of ceremonies
The doors open and your MC introduces you to the world as the new Mr. and Mrs. As you make your way to the dance floor, when is the appropriate time for your first dance music to begin? The answer is "when you cue him." Only you know when you're ready to start your dance so be sure your entertainers don't throw you a curve ball. The photographer and videographer
This detail is so important! I love hearing from my couples when
they get their video and photos back, raving about how awesome they
thought they looked and how they got a fantastic shot of their dramatic
dips. The counterpart is hearing the disappointment because their
photographer changed film during the dance and missed the best part,
or the videographer zoomed in on their faces so they couldn't see
their beautiful moves or he panned around the room to tape the guests
and didn't capture their dance at all! Don't be disappointed. Make
sure your vendors understand what you expect of them.
The wedding party
Your family and bridal party are lucky because they'll be nearest
to you on the dance floor during your dance, but let's not deprive
the rest of your guests from enjoying the show! Have your wedding
party stand where they will not obstruct anyone's view. Flower
girls and ring bearers are priceless little darlings who need
to be gently secured by an adult. It's challenging enough to dance
with your new spouse without having a 3 year old hanging onto
your gown or pants leg. Cute, but not part of your routine. |
