Wedding Reception Planning - The Little Things Go A Long Way
Murphy's Law would have it that it will be the smallest, most inconsequential of ideas which turn out to be the nucleus of a project. When you have over a year to plan that perfect California wedding, the place cards are probably going to be somewhere near the bottom of your list, but you'd be surprised how much inspiration can come from those last minute pieces. Now could be the perfect time to prioritize these minor details; the dress is still several daydreams away, you can't come to an agreement on venue, he's all organized-out from popping the question and you want to get started on the wedding planning today.

A statistic popular amongst wedding circles is that 67% of women continue to wear the same perfume they wore on their wedding day. One of the big tips for selling a home? Aerate the property with the smell of fresh bread and coffee the morning of the viewing. These two facts are not so far removed in that our smell plays a big role in how we remember those perfect moments in life and it is these factors which justify adding importance to the smaller element of the wedding.
