How to Pick Your Wedding Song

When it comes to planning a wedding, nothing is off-limits. In fact, it's best to be as detailed oriented as possible! From the tablescape to the type of napkins you use, everything should be custom — because, after all, it’s your big day! However, one thing that tends to be a little overwhelming to most couples is picking their wedding song.

While you might have one or two in mind, when the big day inches closer, you might have second thoughts. Take a deep breath and follow these simple tips!

Think of the Artist

Do you and your loved one share a favorite artist? Whether they’re a pop sensation or a one-hit-wonder, nothing is off the table. In fact, choosing a favorite artist will make the process much simpler for you two — since it will help narrow down the selection for the perfect song you’re looking to dance to!

Consider the Lyrics

If you do not have a favorite artist in mind, think about the lyrics to some of your favorite songs. Are they about falling in love with the love of your life? While the lyrics don’t always have to “hit the nail on the head,” just be mindful of the context of each song. For example, some might sound like love songs, but they’re really about a break-up — do a little research before jumping for a particular song!

Remember to Have Fun

Spoiler alert: There isn’t a wedding rulebook that says you have to pick a love song! In fact, if you and your partner want to choose an upbeat disco song — go for it! After all, it’s your big day, and you need to do what makes the two of you happy! And we’re sure, no matter what song you choose, it will certainly be memorable!

How to Pay Tribute to a Loved One on Your Wedding Day

Sometimes, when you walk down the aisle, you won’t be able to have a loved one by your side. However, there are some ways that you can pay tribute to them on your big day in the most beautiful ways possible. Here are some incredible ways you can do that with ease:


Ways to Pay Tribute to a Loved One at Your Wedding

Have Their Favorite Flowers
Are you still deciding what type of flowers you want to have on the big day? If so, think about including your loved one’s favorite blooms throughout your ceremony. Whether those flowers are in your bouquet or are the centerpiece of each table, nothing is off-limits when it comes to having floral elements at your wedding.

Repurpose a Piece of Their Clothing
Another fantastic way to keep a loved one close by is to take a piece of their clothing, cut a piece off, and have it sewn to the inside of your tuxedo or gown. And if you’re feeling up to it, you can even cut the piece of their clothing into a shape (such as a heart) or even into the letter of their first name.

Save a Seat for Them
No matter where you’re getting hitched, aim to save a seat for your loved one. You can do this by putting their photo in a frame, placing it on a seat, and surround it with flowers. Additionally, you can even put some of their prized trinkets around it, too, adding even more of a personal touch. 

No matter how you decide to pay tribute to your loved one, we know that it will be phenomenal and genuinely make your big day even more special.

How to Pick the Perfect Wedding Dress

Besides The MET Gala, one of the most important days for a dress is your wedding! Sure, you might have your dream gown in mind — but sometimes it takes hard work and determination to find it. Of course, the process can seem a tad overwhelming — and that’s why we’re here to help!


How to Pick Your Wedding Dress

Find a Budget
First and foremost, before you go on the search for a dress, you’ll want to factor in your budget. Believe it or not, sometimes your dream gown can cost as much as a pre-owned car (we’re serious) which can throw you back down to square one. 

To find a budget that works best for you, go online and do your homework on wedding gowns. From famous brands to the lesser-known bands, don’t eliminate any dress in your sight — because you might be pleasantly surprised to see how much they cost. 

Once you secure an ideal budget, then it’s time to search for the dress of your dreams!

Search for the Dress
When looking for your wedding dress, as mentioned before, you want to keep all options available. Sometimes, the gown of your dreams might not be comfortable to wear, or it could be sold-out. No matter what the reason may be, you always want to factor every gown you see into the equation! 

Before you purchase your gown, you’ll want to try on each gown you like, since it’s all about the perfect fit — and you may be surprised that a favorite dress of yours may not look as you hoped it would.

Once you know what you’re looking for, it’s time to head to a bridal shop, such as Village Bridal. Not only will our staff be able to accommodate your dress expectations, but we also offer in-house alterations, too! This will assure you that once you find the perfect gown, it will fit like a dream come true!

In addition to finding the perfect dress, Village Bridal will also be able to help you find the ideal bridesmaids gowns, shoes, accessories and more for your big day. These, of course, are just as important as your beautiful wedding gown — and will indeed be the icing on the cake (pun intended).

Looking for a beautiful dress for the big day?
Stop by our Village Bridal & Boutique (attached to Dynasty Limousine) today! You’ll be amazed at the incredible gowns you can find, at wonderful prices!

For more information, please call (631) 587-2800! We can’t wait to see you soon and help plan for the big day!

Date Night Ideas on Long Island

Living on Long Island has its perks! From being close to some of the most wonderful beaches, to only being a few miles away from New York City, there’s nothing better than being on the Island — especially when it comes to having a date night!

Now, if you and your loved one are looking to change up your usual routine (i.e., going to a nice restaurant), here are some other ideas to consider!


Date Night Ideas on Long Island 2020

Attend a Paint Night
Do you or your significant other have a passion for art? If so, why not look into a local paint night! Now, this isn’t your ordinary “paint by numbers,” but rather an artist teaching everyone how to paint an incredible masterpiece on a blank canvas! And to add to it, many paint nites offer dinner specials (that include wine) — which makes the deal even sweeter!

Go to a Roller Rink
The days of roller rinks are not over, thanks to a few fantastic locations on Long Island! You and your love can roller skate the night away under twinkling lights and to the sounds of some incredible, nostalgic music! As an added bonus, some indoor roller rinks also have fast food favorites — and may even have a bar (21+) on certain nights, too!

Sing at a Live Karaoke Night
Do you and your partner like to sing? If so, you might want to look into live karaoke at a local bar or restaurant! Unlike reading off a television screen to a pre-recorded track, you’ll be able to be the lead singer of a live band (and, of course, you’ll have the lyrics in front of you)! It will indeed be a fun evening and will make anyone feel like a rockstar a few minutes away from home!

Ways to Ask Your Friends to Be Your Bridesmaids

One of the most exciting moments in the wedding planning process is when a bride-to-be gets to ask her closest friends to be her bridesmaids! And while she can ask them in person or with a card, there are a few fun, new ideas that can make the moment even more special!

That said, here are some ideas on how you can ask your girls to stand by your side on the big day!


Bridesmaid Proposal Ideas

Make a Gift Basket
Believe it or not, one of the best ways to ask your girls if they’ll be your bridesmaids is by putting together a gift basket! With this custom, personal gift, you can put a customized drinking tumbler with your bridesmaid’s name on it, a bottle of champagne, a few snacks, and of course, a little something that pops the question!

Use Social Media
Another great, new way to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids is by popping the question to them on social media! Whether you film a video and tag your besties in it, or tag them in a large group photo (popping the question in the caption section), they’ll be sure to love this! And, of course, an added bonus is that they’ll be able to cherish this memory forever!

If you have recently gotten engaged, we have one thing to say: Congratulations! Now, the fun part begins: Planning your engagement party! While this may be less stressful than planning an actual wedding, it can still be a tad overwhelming — however, we’re here to offer some great tips on how to throw a fun bash with ease!

Pick a Theme
The beauty of an engagement party is that you can pick any theme you’d like! No matter if that theme entails the beach or superheroes, nothing is off the table! Sure, you don’t have to opt for a theme — but why not add that extra element of fun on your big day leading up to the really big day!

Change up the Menu
At your wedding, there’s a chance you’ll be treating your guests to a big, fabulous cake! But, when it comes to your engagement party, you can change it up for all who attend! Whether you opt for cupcakes, cookies, or even an ice cream bar, nothing is off limits!
