10 Wedding Resolutions for 2010 Brides

1. Pick appetizers, main dishes, and cake that you love to eat. If you die for the taste chances are your guests will too.

2. Consider a seated dinner over a buffet. When you lay out the costs it is often more affordable and has a very classy flair.

3. Don't charge guests for drinks, but do feel free to pick just a few wines or beers. Or, go with a signature cocktail instead.

4. Know your budget and guest list before planning anything else.

5. Mix up your florals. Use a variety of stems all in the same color, or let the season guide you to what's freshest at the time.

6. Take time off from planning just to go on dates. Dating each other is how you started out; don't forget this important element.

7. Delegate, delegate, delegate. Do not assign yourself any tasks on your wedding day except getting married.

8. Take as many pictures as possible before the ceremony. Seeing your groom in a private moment can be amazing. When you are walking down the aisle, it's hard to take it all in.

9. Personalize your day. Don't follow tradition just for the sake of it.

10. Take time to take in your wedding day. Grab a glass of champagne and a private moment with your new husband after you've walked arm and arm up the aisle.

Wishing you all a joyful new year!
