Gone are the days where couples choose the only wedding venue in their hometown for their big day. Now, the number of wedding venues are infinite. Plus with TV shows like Four Weddings or My Fair Wedding, creativity knows no bounds.

When looking for your wedding location, keep these 5 elements in mind:

1. Style - Pick a spot that reflects you as a couple, whether by significance (the spot where you met) or by the look, like a loft, barn, or vineyard.
2. Travel - Can your guests get there? Destination weddings are exciting but they also see a decrease in attendees. Wherever you decide to wed, consider how close the ceremony and reception are, or for out of town guests - provide transportation.
3. Size - Know your numbers! Create a list of must haves and nice to haves to get a range of how big (or small) your invite list will be. From there you can get a better idea on location.
4. Budget - The venue likely will account for a good portion of your wedding budget. Don’t waste time looking at options out of your price range.
5. Service - Think about what you may need to add. A catering hall has restrooms, tables, china, where as a loft is an amazing blank canvas in need of your decoration. You, and your caterer, will likely need to bring everything in, which can be an added expense.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life.  It should be filled with happiness, family, and friends!  Dynasty Limousine has been the ideal choice for brides and groom in and around the Long Island area because we combine an impressive fleet of immaculately kept luxury vehicles with professional and experienced drivers.

Ah February, the month of love. If you’re one of the lucky gals who said ‘YES!’ this past Valentine’s Day weekend - Congrats! But now what?

Obviously, you’ll need to call your relatives, update your Facebook status, and snap some photos of your ring, but we wanted to provide some important next steps once all the excitement dies down:

Pick a Date - After all the "Congratulations!" and "Let me see the ring!" the next question your friends and family ask is, “When’s the wedding?” Save yourself a headache, decide on a vague yet specific answer with your fiancé like “We like the idea of next fall” or “We’re aiming for early 2015.” People will put the event in their mental datebooks and appreciate feeling like they’re in the know!

Budget, Budget, Budget - As intimidating as it is, figure out your wedding budget. A lot of bridal websites have great lists for reference so you can see the things you may not need. Once you have a budget set start looking at venues.

Choose a Venue - Choosing the venue will guide you in every other decision you make about your wedding (number of guests, food, decor, dress, etc). Book the location as soon as possible to insure you two get the date you want.

Daydream (a lot) - Now that your date, budget, and venue have been chosen it’s time for the more glamorous decisions. Grab a bunch of wedding mags, download the Pinterest app on every device, look at maps for honeymoon ideas - now’s the time to collect ideas that inspire you and to learn what you want (and don’t want) in your wedding!

Say Yes to The Dress - Or at least start looking! Look at dress shopping as your treat after all the nuts and bolts are figured out. But where do you go? Luckily, our bridal salon and boutique carries ALL the attire you and your groom will need on your special day. From wedding gowns to bridesmaid dresses, to tuxedo rentals - our in house seamstresses and tailors can take care of all necessary alterations on site!

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It should be filled with happiness, family, and friends, not stress or distractions.

Planning a wedding can be stressful. Finding a dress, choosing a bridal party, picking flowers, invitations, a venue, and the countless other wedding day details is enough to drive anyone crazy! Wedding Magazine has gathered some great tips to help make your wedding planning process run smoothly and stress-free!

1. Your wedding day draws nearer with each passing day, but don’t panic! Despite the anxiousness you might feel, try to remain calm. Take a deep breath, then get started!

2. When coordinating a wedding, you may be forced to deal with people who have different opinions; bridesmaids, in-laws, parents and maybe even your fiancé. Everyone seems to think they know best! What matters most is how you feel! It’s your day! Address issues right away and be honest. Let your family and friends know you appreciate their input, but you’ve decided to go in another direction. 

3. There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding. Don’t waste time trying to make every detail perfect. Chances are no one will even notice! When it comes to floral arrangements and cake designs, make confident decisions and don’t think twice! Eventually, you will find making decisions to be easy!

4. Don’t forget to book the honeymoon! After working hard to create a fantastic wedding for you and your fiancé, you deserve the getaway of a lifetime. Plan the honeymoon together and get excited about your trip!  

5. Finally, take the time to enjoy something new. Set aside some time during your week to hike, exercise, join a pottery class, or anything else. Do what you love and enjoy it worry free.
