Florence, SC is a city  brimming with history, character, and Southern charm. Chartered in 1871 and incorporated December 24, 1890, the original township formed as a railroad terminal. The town was named after Florence Henning Harllee, the daughter of William Wallace Harllee, the first president of the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad. Today, Florence is a community with a population of approximately 33,000 residents.

The City of Florence is a fine example of a genteel, Southern city. This mid-sized Southern city is large enough to boast a performance theater, symphony orchestra, many ballet companies, museums, festivals, the Pee Dee Cyclones in the Southern Professional Hockey league, and the world-class recreation complex Freedom Florence. Still, the City is small enough to preserve a small-town feeling with a number of tree-lined streets and parks, all of which add to the pleasant lifestyle that citizens enjoy. Residents exude a strong sense of community pride and Southern hospitality. Florence, SC makes a quaint wedding destination.

Looking Your Best On Your Big Day

Most women dream of looking their absolute best on their wedding day. In fact, many brides in Florence, SC spend the period of time from their engagement to their wedding day, toning up, losing weight and eating better. But while dreaming about becoming a buff bride is one thing, actually becoming one takes work. Here are some easy tips to help you get in shape for your big day.

Set goals -little by little  Maybe your ultimate goal is to lose the fifteen pounds that you somehow gained since college. But instead of trying to tackle losing all that weight at once, start by taking baby steps. First strive to just start exercising more by walking for 30 minutes after work. Once you've got that down then start eliminating the sweets. Next work in some light weight training. Before you know it you'll be halfway toward meeting your ultimate goal  and it will seem a lot easier than facing it all at once.

Be a slacker  No, you're not going to meet your goals by eating ice cream every night. But that doesn't mean you can still indulge yourself. Set a night a week where you can eat your favorite dessert  but only if you've stayed on track all week. Or make one day a no-exercise day and spend it on the couch. That way you won't feel deprived from the things you love.

Get a buddy  Coming up with excuses to skip the gym is easy if you only have yourself to answer to. But its a lot tougher when you have a work out buddy relying on you for motivation. Get a friend or coworker to exercise with you once or twice a week. It will make meeting your work out goals a lot easier  and much more fun!

Mix things up  If your new exercise regiment consists of running, running and more running, you'll probably get bored pretty fast. Mix up your work outs with a combination of different types of cardio, flexibility and strengthening exercises. It'll give you a better total body workout while keeping things fresh.

Leave your car at home  Need to run a quick errand? Make it really worth your while and walk to the store. You'll still be able to do the things you need to do, while getting in shape. Doing this a few times a week can really pay off!

Write it down  Do you really know what you're eating? You may be surprised. To take a closer look at your eating habits, start a food journal. Write down everything you eat (and drink!) for one week  you'll see where you're overindulging and where you're not getting enough of what you need. Plus, its harder to feel good about bingeing on sweets when you know you'll have to be reminded of it the next day.

Reward yourself  Not that looking and feeling your best on your big day isn't reward enough, but sometimes it helps to have smaller rewards to help you along the way. Use those new shoes you've been eyeing as bait and buy them for yourself once you've stuck with your regiment for two weeks. Or reward yourself with a professional massage once you've stayed on track for one month. These little rewards will make it a lot easier to stay motivated.

Accept defeat.  Keep in mind that there will probably be days when you get off track. Just remember that tomorrow is another day. And no matter what, when you walk down that aisle during your Florence wedding, you will be gorgeous!

May your Florence, SC wedding plans go smoothly. Music on the Strand's DJ ENTERTAINMENT looks forward to being a part of your special day!
