Host a Friday or Sunday Wedding!
In this day and age when a girl can get married nearly anytime or anywhere, most brides still choose Saturdays as their dream day of the week. However, there are some great reasons to choose a Friday or Sunday! Consider these ideas for a Friday Wedding:
-Many people have family that visits from out of town-extend the visit
especially if you are not going on a honeymoon and want to spend the weekend
with family members.
-Friday weddings can cost less than a Saturday wedding. Many venues
require a dollar amount to be met for a Saturday service.
-If using a small business location some Saturdays are difficult to
close to the public without negative feedback- where as a Friday night
shut down may not have a negative impact.
-You can have a Saturday morning brunch with all visiting family!
-You can host a day outing with all visiting family!
-There are generally more available Friday dates than Saturdays.
-Sometimes venues will allow decorating on a Thursday for a Friday wedding.
-Some folks are saying that Friday night weddings are “cool” and are also about
the celebration not just the ceremony.
-The ultimate in thoughtfulness? It gives your guests the ability to have their weekend back.
Have you thought about a Sunday wedding? Consider these ideas for a Sunday wedding:
-Spend the beginning of the weekend catching up and doing traditional things with family
including last minute touches.
-An opportunity to take the time to meet for a group family photo that isn’t in the
wedding attire
-Allow the two families to bond and become one at family picnic or potluck on the prior Friday or Saturday.
-If you are budget conscious-venue prices could be less than Saturday dates.
-Local guest don’t have to rush home after work on a Friday to get ready.
-Sunday weddings curb the alcohol expectation, which can also be a budget choice.
-Some receptions with religious restrictions can be accommodated for
more easily with a Sunday wedding
For the eager-to-be honeymooning couple that are ready to leave town guests
leave parties earlier on Sundays due to work the following day.

The Sound Machine
Light, sound and capturing memories-A Bride’s interview with The Sound Machine
Yes, our wedding is about us, but I want our guests to remember this wedding as the best they have ever been to, how can I make that happen?
Having the right DJ and lighting can really set the right mood at your reception AND wedding ceremony. Brides often think about those elements for the reception site, but detailing those special touches at the ceremony is on trend!
Should I have my next door neighbor be my DJ-he can run an ipod?
A professional DJ will provide the perfect blend of music at all times, from the seating of the mothers, to the father-daughter dance. You don’t want your “workout” play-list to accidentally disrupt your big day. Think SMOOOOOTH! Smooth transitions and flawless planning.
My venue has lights, why should I be thinking about professional lighting?
Many event venues offer lighting options, but having your DJ as your lighting coordinator promises the right nuances visually and audibly- on cue! It’s that extra special touch that makes your wedding unforgettable and uniquely you!
My kid brother isn’t going to be a groomsman. I’m thinking of having him video the wedding for me and I can edit it afterwards?
I knew a bride once that had her brother video the entire ceremony-with the power turned off! True story! Nothing against brothers here! Honest! But if capturing the special moments of the most important day of your life are important, a professional videographer, that has experience and knows how to “get the shot” is worth every penny you spend. A seasoned videographer instantly knows the perfect edit in that same moment he gets the shot. Your wedding video should be your favorite movie ever!
We saw on Pinterest an idea for a “photo booth” with hats and mustaches-you know, props? One that we could set up ourselves and guests could use their cell phones?
It’s fun concept, but what if you could have a REAL photo booth. With pictures printed instantly for your guests to take home with them? Memories made! Memories captured! And great momentos for your guests, it really makes them feel special.
You have provided services for so many weddings. If there was one tip you could give the Bride, what would your advice be?
Book early. If you find the vendor you have your heart set on, book the date as soon as possible! It’s the surefire way to have the wedding you want!

Every girl is crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man!
Like those famous song lyrics imply, there’s nothing like seeing your sweetheart look his best! Choosing a tuxedo for your groom and his attendants is a very important part of your wedding! Getting the right fit, custom for each man, is key to their overall comfort and confidence on your very special day. Be certain to send all of the men in your wedding party to a professional fitter; it will be worth the effort!
Hi-I’m Shirley Lawson with Lawson’s Tuxedo Rental in Manchester. One of my favorite things about being a professionally trained bridal consultant is seeing the boys, that we helped dress for their very first school formal event, come back as grown men to be fitted for their weddings. With over forty years in the formal wear industry, we actually have many generations of families we are priveleged to call loyal customers! It’s an honor for us to be a part of the special occasions that have shaped their lives!
Over the years, Lawson’s has seen every tuxedo trend imaginable! It’s likely that the apparel chosen by the men in your wedding party will look vastly different than your own parents wedding attire! If you are wanting a timeless style for your wedding, a classic black tuxedo is always in fashion. Rustic style and barn weddings may lead you to choose a jacket-less look for your gentlemen. Bow-ties with suspenders or rolled sleeve dress shirts with vests are very popular.
If your wedding is more formal, the current trends are showing navy tuxedos for this year. Designer suits and tuxedos from Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Tony Bowls, Jean Yves, Ralph Lauren, Stephen Geoffrey and Lord West are featuring slim fit jackets and pants.
Making your wedding day perfect, every detail, right down to the ring-bearer’s outfit is what we specialize in at Lawson’s Tuxedo Rental! As always, every groom’s tuxedo is free with the rental of six or more tuxedos. Click on our tile ad on the right side of this page to see our facebook page.
Find us in person at 104 East Main Street, on the square in Manchester. Our hours are 9-5 Monday through Friday or call us for a Saturday appointment, (931) 273-0503.

Stories of our community will come to life through wedding gowns on display at Oaklands Mansion, where every dress tells a love story. Step back into time and experience the common threads that weave together the lives of women as we explore women’s history, fashion history, cultural history and the history of our community. Over fifty gowns will be placed on loan and exhibited, most for the first time. The “Wedding Dresses Through the Decades” exhibit in Maney Hall at Oaklands Mansion will take place from January 21 through March 5, 2017.
Vintage gowns from the past 100 years will be on display along with brides’ photos and stories from their wedding day. Featured this year is the 1967 gown of Barbara Mandrell, which was handmade by her mother, and the white naval uniform worn by her husband, Ken Dudney. In addition, Barbara’s 25th Anniversary renewal silver lace gown worn in 1992 will be on display. It was made by Emmy Awarding Winning American fashion designer, Bob Mackie. He was the costume designer for Carol Burnett on The Carol Burnett Show and its spinoff, Mama’s Family. During this exhibit, guests will have the rare opportunity to view items from not only the museum’s collection, but also elegant and fashionable wedding dresses worn by ladies from Murfreesboro and around the country.
