Planning a wedding is no-joke. To help you stay on top of things, we ran through some of the most important points to consider. They’ll help things go smoothly. Read ahead.
Come Up with a Budget
Weddings can be very expensive. You’re advised to think long and hard about how much you’re willing to spend. You might be under the impression that the more cash spent, the more lavish of a wedding you’d be able to have. This isn’t always the case, as there are so many ways you can cut costs.
With a budget in mind, how will you come up with this cash? Are there savings? Or will you be working with a lender? Just because you can take a loan for a large sum, it doesn’t mean that you should. You’d be too busy paying it off to invest in your future family.
Think of a Theme
Thinking of a theme will help you bring your vision to life. Everything would be influenced by the aesthetic you want, so the wedding of your dreams could happen.
Coming up with a theme is a piece of cake with the internet. Create a Pinterest account and go to town. You can find some great ideas by going through Instagram too.
Some aesthetics may be harder to achieve than others, though. You’ll have to ask yourself if this would be worth it or not. For example, vendors near you are out of pearl-toned items, so you won’t be able to create the champagne-toned ceremony you want.
Look for a Venue
The budget you have influences the venue you’ll be able to have the reception in. You’re advised to look around, as you might find a gem. The space should not be able to bring your vision to life, but it should be able to fit everyone you’re inviting.
Make sure that it’s not too out of the way either. Guest may not be able to make it otherwise.
The Decor
Be sure to grab wedding welcome signs. You need to find someone to do the flowers for the ceremony too, and any lighting or other decor pieces you’re interested in. Thankfully, all of the above can be arranged by the same person. If you try and get them done by different vendors, you’ll be making things complicated.
When it comes to décor, you can either go the custom or pre-made route. The latter would be more affordable, and you can get things done quicker.
The Officiant
Find an officiant well before the wedding date. You’re advised to book him at least 10-11 months before.
Catering
How many guests will there be? They’ll have to RSVP, as you won’t have any idea how many people you’d be feeding. By having them RSVP, you’d know the type of meals that would be needed too.
The venue you’re having the wedding at may be able to cater for you.
Final Thoughts
Well, which of the above do you think are the most important? Although we discussed a few, they are the most important. Other details you’ll have to consider would be the entertainment for the night.
