Do you know what type of wedding band your fiancè wants? How involved in the process would your fiancè like to be? Is he/she the type to be ok with whatever you get or can afford, or does he/she want that diamond “bling-bling” like yours? To my surprise, my fiancè explained to me with a straight face the type of ring he wanted. “You got diamonds, so why shouldn’t I,” he asked? It was a good question…but man, I was thinking I could get away with spending less than $100.00 on his wedding band. Oops, was I wrong! Let’s break down some important things to consider when it comes to wedding bands, so you won’t make the wrong assumption as I did!  Photo by Alex Hussein from Pexels Price One of the first and most important things to consider when it comes to wedding band shopping is how much you’re willing to spend. Establishing a budget before going ring shopping will help set realistic expectations and ensure you don’t overspend. Look There are A LOT of different styles when it comes to a wedding band. Once you have a price in mind, you can narrow down rings based on the look. You can get ring inspiration from looking at jewelers online or in person, or on Pinterest, of course. The photos below show just a few styles of rings for men and women, but these aren’t even close to all— remember there are different colors too!

Consider saving some money while in the midst of wedding planning by going with a cheaper priced ring (this doesn’t always mean you have to compromise on the look). Set a goal with your partner to upgrade to your dream bands on a future anniversary. Whichever ring you and your partner decide to go with, they will be the right ones for you. There is no right choice when it comes to wedding bands, as they are a personal symbol of love. Remember, communication with your partner is key, even with something as simple as wedding bands!

Post written by Kaley M. for Events Unleashed. Have you heard of an unplugged ceremony? In this social media era, we all are a little guilty of too much screen time. So much so that it's almost second nature to post every aspect of your day online, from grabbing your morning coffee to posting your nighttime face mask. Kinda crazy eh? This is why we love unplugged ceremonies. Let us break it down below!  Photo from Cody & Allison Photography Your Photographer (and Videographer) Will Thank You Although you love your Aunt Gina— the photographer won't like her very much when she jumps in front of his camera to take a picture with her phone. Asking your guests kindly to keep their devices away helps reduce distractions for the professionals. It's also a plus that when you look back at your wedding video and ceremony photos, you will see all your loved ones faces looking at you, and not their phones. Guests Will Be Fully In The Moment When the phones and cameras are put away, guests can truly enjoy the message from the pastor or officiant, watch you commit yourself to your love, and cheer as you have your first kiss— all without distraction. Going 'unplugged' allows guests to truly embrace the moment.  Photo from The Wedding Playbook How To Deal With Disappointment from Guests
Your guests might not be thrilled to hear that you want them to keep their phones away, so here our are suggestions for dealing with guest disappointment: Consider having only the intimate ceremony unplugged. Allow guests to take pictures and videos at the reception. You'll have fun the next morning looking back at your friend's Instagram stories of you all dancing all night! Consider renting a photo booth for the reception. This is great especially if you want your ceremony and reception unplugged. This allows guests to have some memories to take home with them. Let guests know you will share the photos. They may not be as disappointed if you let everyone know that you will share the photos once receiving them back from the photographer. And remember... This is your big day. Whether you allow phones the whole day, only at reception, or not at all— it's your wedding! Ultimately guests should respect your wishes.

People come into your life for different reasons, at different seasons. When one gets the opportunity to learn what didn’t work in previous relationships, the stronger the foundation can be made with a future love. Although the end of one love may hurt, the lessons learned from the past are life-lasting and beneficial when a new love is found. Here are our favorite lessons from the Last Go Round!  Photo by Cameron Stow on Unsplash Take Your Time Taking your time with love is important. Choosing who you want to spend forever with isn’t an easy task. There is no need to rush to find the right “one” for you because there is no age limit on love. Being patient will bring great rewards. What’s Meant to Be Will Be You can’t force something to work, no matter how hard you try. Both parties have to equally put in the work for love to flourish. Love will work when it’s meant to work. There is Strength in Forgiving To truly move on in life, forgiveness is essential. When past wrongs are forgiven, we are free to live life at ease. Living without resentment for former relationships allow you to be more open with new ones.  Photo by Jasmine Wallace Carter from Pexels Love gives many experiences and life lessons. Look at previous relationships as positives that will help guide you when finding your everlasting love. Putting no limit or timeline on love can ensure that when the right love does hit you— it will be worth the wait!

Let’s face it, weddings are more expensive now than ever before. The average US wedding now costs $35,329! That’s a whole lot of money for only two people to come up with. There is no shame in asking family and friends to help support this cost (remember-- the families used to be the ones who foot the bill for this special day). Asking for money from friends and family for your wedding doesn't have to be difficult at all. Follow these easy steps to make sure that you do it the right way.  Photo by Oleg Magni from Pexels Step One Identify with your partner who you want to ask and why. Think about the people that are closest to you, that you highly respect, and know want to support you and your fiancé. You might be surprised at how much others want to see you have a spectacular wedding. Step Two Come up with a plan to ask. In-person: Inviting friends and family over to discuss your plans for the wedding may help them see your vision and increase their chances of assisting you. Over the phone: For friends and family that don’t live nearby, asking over the phone is much more realistic than in-person. Take the time to call those that you plan on asking. Tip: Write out a short script that you can read so that you don’t get flustered while trying to make your request. By Mail: Never underestimate the power of a handwritten letter. Not only will it make the person you’re asking feel special, but it also conveys how important the request is to you. Virtually: Consider emailing your friends and family your request. You can include the overall cost and what you plan on doing with the funds so that they see you have a clear and reasonable plan. Step Three Ask! It could sound something like, “We want to properly manage our expectations as we move towards the planning phase of our wedding. We would like to know if you plan on contributing to our needs for our special day. We have/haven't spoke about this before, but I want to make sure we’re all on the same page.” Step Four Don’t Get Discouraged and Get Creative! Sometimes your friends and family may want to help but can’t afford it. If you know that someone would like to help but can’t financially, you may want to see if they can help by offering their time or skills. If you know one of your family members can bake, ask if they will make the desserts for your wedding if you supply the ingredients. You can even get creative by asking family and friends for a “donation” towards your big day in place of any upcoming birthday or holiday gifts. Don’t be discouraged if you get a couple no’s, because the one person that says yes may contribute in more ways than you could imagine. There are endless ways to reach your magical wedding goals! Good luck and happy planning!
