Iron out those wedding issues

The most common bride-groom wedding squabbles and how to solve them.

 

The problem

He wants to splurge on a band; you want a pricey caterer.

The solution

See if you can find the budget for both by cutting back in another area you both agree on, like the flowers or the guest list.

 

The problem

You love romantic details; he’s worried the wedding will look too girly.

The solution

Start with a modern palette (say black and white) and clean-lined decor (think sleek metal tables, not reclaimed wood), then add your pretty flourishes. Voila: balance!

 

The problem

You belong to different faiths and each want a religious ceremony.

The solution

You can hire two officiants for your I do’s or have one combine elements from both faiths onto your service. If all else fails, you can always have two separate ceremonies (on the same day or not).
