In the midst of all the happiness as well as love you, most brides who are newlyweds may be feeling that nagging feeling in your stomach, “Where can I start?
We’ve put together a list of suggestions to help you start the initial steps of planning your wedding.
Wedding planning can take several months or years. It’s therefore important to create a well thought-out plan and share it with anyone heavily involved. If everybody is in agreement from the beginning, it makes planning effortless and less stress-inducing.
1. Budget, Budget, Budget
The most dreadful conversation that has to be addressed during the initial stages of planning your wedding. You must know who is contributing to the wedding expenses and if you’ll be doing it by yourself or some combination of both. No matter what, having an agreed-upon budget will allow you to take the next step in the wedding plan and will allow for a discussion to be discussed.
2. Think about what’s most important to you.
Create your own list (or get one) of everything that is involved in weddings. Food, venue, photos of the dress, flowers, decorations and more… There are numerous things to consider! You can then reorganize the list, beginning with the things that are most important for you and your spouse and what your top priorities are The most important items are the ones on which you must spend your money.
3. Find out the wedding size
If you’re planning to go big or keep it modest, it’s important to be in the same boat about this issue. Ask your family members to participate when it’s important to both of you or when they’ll be paying the cost. After you’ve settled on a general guest list and budget, you can move onto the big-hitters, and the two most important factors will guide the remainder of your wedding plans: time and location.
4. Pick a date for your wedding and the venue
We have observed that the bride and groom usually have a preference that is superior to the other. If the date is important, the search for a venue may require a broader search depending on the availability. If the design and place of the venue are important, then you should be prepared to change regarding your time. Whatever the case, before you move forward, these two elements have to be established.
5. Interview Wedding Planners or Coordinators
If you’re thinking of bringing an experienced wedding planner and/or day of wedding coordinator on board to assist in planning and décor, ask for recommendations and conduct some research online, prior to scheduling a few interviews. A full-service wedding planner will be in charge of each aspect of planning your wedding, and an experienced wedding coordinator will be on hand prior to the wedding to put all the details and logistical aspects together in the final stage of executing your plans for your wedding day.
