Tips to Help Plan Your Perfect Wedding

Planning a wedding can be a lot of fun and hard work! The moment your partner slips that engagement ring on your finger, your mind goes into planning mode, but if you follow this guide, then your wedding will be as perfect as possible.

Date

Before you start getting too eager with the plans, you need to set a date. Setting a date makes the wedding seem more real. There’s actually a date for it; it’s going to happen!! Also, when you decide on a date, then it opens up some possibilities for difference locations. Get your date set quickly so you can get the rest of your planning done.

Location

One of the first things on your mind will be the location of your wedding. Now, a lot can factor in to determine a wedding’s location. Firstly, the date of your wedding can have a big role to play. So, as mentioned above, make sure you decide quickly on a date! Secondly, where you and your partner live can play a role. If you both live in the same city, perhaps it makes sense to have a wedding locally. But, if you live in different countries, then maybe you have your wedding abroad. To be honest, you may want to have your wedding abroad even if you both live in the same place. There are tonnes of unique wedding venues in countries all over the globe. It’s going to be a special moment in your life, so why not make it big!

Venue

Once you’ve got the location sorted, you can start looking at venues. Traditional weddings are usually done inside a church. You’ll then move the party elsewhere for the reception. That’s another thing you have to remember, you’re looking at two venues here. One for the ceremony and one for the reception.
You don’t have to look for a church; that’s just how traditional weddings are done. Some people pick an outdoor venue in a sunny location and have the ceremony outside. Sometimes the venue can be unique to the location of your wedding. Say you choose to get married in France, you could get married atop the Eiffel Tower!

Size

You’ll also want to think about how big you want your wedding. Do you go for a big wedding and huge celebration? Or, do you have something small and more personal. The choice is up to you, obviously big weddings are extravagant, but can be more costly. The size of your wedding will determine how many guests you invite.

Reception

There’s a lot that goes into planning the reception for your wedding. You’ve already got a location and venue down; now there’s everything else. You have to come up with a seating plan, decide on a menu, find some entertainment. That’s already a lot of things to think about, and I haven’t even considered things like flower arrangements and colour themes!
It might help you to get a wedding planner in to help take some of the stress off your shoulders here.
