Wedding Colors

We are having a hard time trying to pick colors for the wedding. We are thinking of maybe black and burgundy. Is there a place that has an array of colors we can look at to get a better idea?

Bridal shops may be a good place to start, by looking at racks of bridesmaid's dresses, you get a good feel for all the various colors. You might want to check out the color of carpets at the venues to be sure you don't clash (may be important on pictures).

There are also many online sites that have an array of bridesmaids dresses, florists with many flower examples, and even photographer sites that have many examples of the weddings they have photographed. These can all give you good ideas for what you like (and don't like).

Prep Classes

I was wondering about marriage prep classes. We are having a non-denominational wedding in a historical heritage church that has been restored. It didn't come with an officiary, but we don't want a justice of the peace. Everyone that I have gotten a hold of says that we need marriage prep classes, but we live out of the town in which we are getting married. Do we have to take these classes in order for them to marry us?

It's really up to the officiant if he/she will marry you without the classes. Many require them before they will perform a service, however I expect you will be able to find someone who would do it without the classes. As a compromise, see if one meeting before the wedding day (perhaps the day before) will suffice. You will probably be in town by then and could spare an hour or two. It would also help you get familiar with the officiant and any special church service requirements before the wedding service. Perhaps explaining the distance problem will help. You could also consider a university chaplain or military chaplain who can perform weddings and may have looser requirements.

Change Wedding Date

How do I change the wedding date shown in EZWeddingPlanner?

Wedding dates may be changed under Options. This will reorganize the plan dates around the new wedding date.

Change date questions are the number one asked question by EZWeddingPlanner Brides. Wedding dates can change because of booking problems, family problems, scheduling problems, or many other reasons.
