YOUR DREAM
REALITY CHECK! If you want to marry on the moon, then the earth will not do!!! The most substantial conclusion is to conclude if your dream is practical based on finances and realism. Take a hard introspective look at yourself, and conclude if anything will make you happy! This is the first obstacle to vanquish before even looking for a location! Take a hard look and adjust your thinking to comprehend that the wedding day is the First Step in bringing about many lifelong experiences and memories! If this cannot be worked through, the wedding activity will not be a special experience for you, your fiancee, your friends and family.
AMBIANCE
The sensation of the site is very important to fulfilling your dream! If you are an city girl then do not go to the mountains!!! Find a beautiful Hotel or Private Club/restaurant to take on your wedding event. If you love nature and the (natural) then go outside the city environment! A facility with four walls will need to be fixed up with labor, setup time, and monies to develop the look you want! If you love to develop a perfect (set) or fantasy, this is the venue for you! A ballroom, hotel or private club room can be the perfect place.
If you want a natural feel, think of the beach, the mountains, a garden, a winery wedding such as Temecula Winery Weddings, or a golf resort to have the feel you want. With choosing a preset desire, you can save time, effort and monies since you know what to expect. This can alleviate the planning of accessories and services (dresses and attire, flowers, food, cake, photography, music) much easier. Always keep in mind, this is your wedding, and create the desired atmosphere you want to have on that special day!!!
TIME OF YEAR
Getting married in the Spring was customarily the perfect time for a wedding! Now, life gets in the way of most events! Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, business trips, other friends weddings, and holidays are just a few factors that weigh into this decision! You must choose how important these become for planning the date of your wedding.
Spring is a magnificant time in nature. There are numerous types of flowers and vistas that only exist this time of year! As magnificant as it is, it is also a time of allergies for many!! Also, the oceans and waters can be cold and very tumultuous! Rain may also be a ingredient in many parts of the country (rain is good luck on your wedding day—they say!!!)
Summer weather is an agreeable season for many locations. The trees and greenery are in full bloom, the waters are less active, and the temperatures are more comfortable. Think about shade (tree-lined areas), tenting, or an indoor choice if the temperature is too uncomfortable in certain locations!! Also think about the time of day for the wedding (morning, lunch, or evening)! Pricing can be a consideration based on the time of day for the event! This can work to your advantage if you are flexible!
Fall is a uniquely magnificant time if you like fall colors, transformation of seasons and the scents of fall!!! It is also harvest and a very special time in Wine Country areas—Temecula Winery Weddings are particularly scenic! The days/evenings are cooler and getting shorter by November 1 when daylight saving time ends!
Winter is viewed as off-season for most wedding locations except for mountain resorts! The days are not as long, the weather less trustworthy, and you have key national holidays (not being religious) such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years to consider!!! That being said, you can visualize some great values if you choose a date in this period of time at many locations!
TRAVEL TIME/GUESTS
The wedding must go on! It is time for the ceremony but 50% of the guests are not there!! Yikes! What to do! Make sure you think through the start time of the wedding based on certain factors of the location! If you get married during rush hour in the city, there will be problems! If you decide to schedule your wedding on an early Friday evening, your guests may be delayed in traffic jams! Solutions: Consider a later start time for the ceremony; or plan a pre-ceremony cocktail or social gathering to insure there is time for your guests to arrive.
If you have a destination wedding, most guests will schedule in advance to take off early, or have travelled to reach the destination. However, you may be adding additional costs for guests such as airfare, hotel, car rental. If there are difficult issues with family on cutting down the number of wedding guests, considering a destination wedding might be an easy way to keep the guest list under control!!! Having a wedding at a remote location like Hong Kong will probably shorten the guest list!
We recommend that you consider a Temecula wedding at a Temecula winery. They are picturesque, tranquil, and have many of hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, and private home choices! Of course the Temecula wine and surrounding vineyards adds the feel of sophistication that few locations have to offer. Also this area is centrally located between LA, Palm Springs and San Diego!
Happy Location Hunting!
The Falkners bought Falkner Temecula Winery in 2000. Since then Ray and Loretta have built a beautiful Temecula restaurant and Temecula Winery that overlooks the Temecula wine valley. You can learn more about Temecula weddings at http://falknerwinery.com/winery-wedding/temecula-wedding.php.
