No one is going to remember your hair or makeup or even your dress after it's all said and done.
They will remember:
The Cake!
The Length Of The Ceremony (keep it short)
The Temperature (Make sure it's comfortable for all!

I've only been to two great weddings and what made them great was that the bride and groom at both weddings had the BEST time. Your could really tell they were enjoying themselves and it made the atmosphere so much better that neither were worried about anything and just having a great time. Neither couple let anything bother them that day.
I think thats what makes a great wedding, when you know a bride is mad about something it puts a damper on things for the guests.
Accept that things will go wrong, it will help you in your quest for a wonderful day.

It was very well coordinated and just classy. It was last July. The cocktail hour was held outside on the wedding facility property and they had cold and hot foods of every description including lobster tails. Fruits of every description. Then every one was escorted into a georgeous room that had real silk shantung tablecloths with placemats in mauve pink and the most beautiful floral pieces I have ever seen. They were three feet high filled with pink and white roses, baby breath, and day lillies and greenery. Stunning. Live band was fabulous, five pieces and the music was for every taste and not so loud that you could not have a decent conversation at your table. Bride and groom were great. Bride was dressed just like a princess and her bridesmaids and maid of honor were dressed in mauve pink and deeper pink strapless gowns with stoles. As the wedding ended, they had a continental hour with expresso, coffee, liquors, and some of the most fabulous desserts I have ever seen, including Italian pastries, cheesecakes, chocolate covered strawberries, fruit bowl, etc. More than I can remember. To top it off, when you left the wedding, someone was waiting to hand you a morning paper and 1/2 dozen bagels with cream cheese in a white bag with a pink ribbon. Best Wedding I have ever attended.

I liked my aunt's wedding this past summer. My family is really great. They didn't make the actually ceremony last too long and it wasn't too mushy. The reception was even better. It was not some gigantic affair but it was decent sized. She only had people that were really important, maybe at most there was 150 people there and that was mostly for the reception. There was lots of music and getting up and dancing with everyone makes for an even better time. Put the classic dance songs so everyone can dance!

We have been to MANY - most of them family member, so it is biased, I suppose. What makes a wedding memorable is when you can see the pure happiness shining out of the bride and groom! Really! The ceremony is very important, and there's always that moment that I get all teary - the mark of a wedding which has touched me. As for the reception, wonderful food and great music put everyone into a celebratory mood!
Good luck with your wedding!

Honestly, it doesn't matter what you do. At the end of the day, it's just another wedding. Your personal touches and flair isn't going to make a difference. What does make a wedding memorable (in a good way) to the guests is how the guests are treated.
They don't want a gap between the church and reception, and they don't care that you need that time to take pictures. So, make sure there is something for them to do during this time. They get bored watching a bunch of dances (first dance, daddy/daughter, mother/son, bridal party). They especially don't care about watching the bridal party dance, so cut that one. They want good food and an OPEN BAR. When they request a song, they want to hear it. They do not want to be told "sorry, that song's on the do-not-play list"...even if it's the chicken dance.

Three -
One was my own (destination wedding) everyone loves this because you are away, it's gorgeous and you can't pay for a better time with family friends. St Thomas VI
Two was another destination wedding that topped our own.
St. John VI Caneel bay- gorgeous, and we never wanted to leave.
Third was all expense extravigant reception.
Stations, ice, band, just a fun time. I am not sure if the location was the issue as much as the people throwing it?

Yes several, advice...Just make it unique to you and your style. Personal touches that will ensure people know you put yourself into the planning. Try not to subject yourself to creating a 'textbook' wedding..we've all been to those and they are boring.
Have fun and congrats!!
