Expert Wedding Planning Tips

Planning a wedding is a daunting task at the best of times. It requires careful consideration of the wedding venue, catering, guest invitations, décor and countless other details. To make sure that all the preparation for the big day doesn’t overwhelm you, we’ve prepared this guide to help make the entire process as smooth and easy as possible. We’ve also included some tips on how to save money and what to do if you are planning a wedding on a tight budget.

The following steps will help you stay organized and save you a lot of time:

Start by making a list of everything that needs to be done and prioritize the list. It’s better to start long in advance and give yourself much more time than you think you’ll need. Remember, everything takes longer than you expect it will, so get started with the planning ahead of schedule. Later, you’ll be very glad you did!

Find out what budget you have for the wedding. Having an overview of your wedding budget is crucial before you start purchasing anything. The costs will quickly start to pile up, so you need to know what you can afford to begin with before committing to anything and then not having enough funds for something else that needs to be paid for.

Make an appointment with your venue to reserve the date, time, and any other details about the event. Once again, the importance of planning well in advance cannot be overstated. Popular wedding venues will be booked long in advance, especially during peak seasons. If you have a particular destination in mind, make sure you book it in time for when you need it.

Decide on a guest list and send out invitations. Make a list of all the family members, friends, coworkers etc. you want to invite and the get invitations sent out early to avoid any delays.

Find vendors for food, flowers, music/DJs, photography/videography and any other services you need to look for. You can also try to save money here by hiring friends if you know they are reliable and will do a good job.

Also, you’d be surprised how many people overlooking the actual legal marriage itself in all the other wedding planning! Look into any legal requirements like marriage licenses or blood tests that need to be done and get those taken care of with plenty of time to spare.

And finally, get the wedding dress! There’s a practically infinite variety of wedding dresses to choose from and something for every price range, from economical to outrageously expensive custom dresses. There are many variables to consider when purchasing a wedding dress. The first thing is to make sure that the dress is appropriate for the wedding ceremony and the bride’s style. Along with this, the bride should consider the number of guests attending and whether or not she will be dancing. This can make a big difference as to whether a large flowing dress is appropriate or not. Also consider the weather and if the wedding will be indoors or outdoors.

In addition to a wedding dress, presents are a necessity for most modern weddings. Finding presents that the happy couple will love can sometimes be challenging. For this reason, it’s best to stick with the tried-and-true favorites like kitchen implements and jewelry. Our friends over at Tear Catcher Shop make customized jewelry that’s perfect for these occasions. You can view details of their products and choose for yourself something that will make the happy day something extra special.

Planning a wedding is a daunting task and it can be overwhelming when you don’t know where to start. There are so many different questions that need to be asked and answered along the way. What is the budget? How many guests are there going to be? What are the bride and groom’s favorite colors? Who are the bride and groom’s favorite artists/bands? What kind of food do they want at their reception? Are there any religious considerations for either side of the family? But in the end, it will all be worth it as the happy couple gets to experience the wedding of their dreams and take with them memories that will last a lifetime!
