When two people decide to formalize their relationship by sharing a joyful event with loved ones, they often do not suspect how much trouble lies ahead for them. Of course, both partners want this significant day to be perfect, so preparations for the celebration, as a rule, begin well in advance – preferably six months before the holiday. Why so early? Because in the process of planning a wedding, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors: the availability of free dates for registering at the registry office, getting the necessary amount of money, choosing a dress (or being able to sew an outfit to order if the bride cannot find the desired option), ordering a venue etc. Where to start?
How to plan a wedding: first decide what you need
The first thing a future husband and wife should do is – decide on the format of the celebration: a modest ceremony or a large-scale event. In the first case, you can organize a wedding on your own, to implement the second plan, if funds allow, it is better to seek help from professionals in organizing such events (for example, at Wedding Way wedding agency) – experienced professionals will not miss a single important detail, and the newlyweds will be able to avoid a number of problems.
Task number one – decide on the format of the event.
However, even if you apply to a wedding agency, you will need to think through a lot of issues, which will take a lot of time.
Step by step planning from 6th month to wedding day
About six months before the wedding, you need to choose the desired date for the celebration, estimate how much money will be needed to hold the event of the desired format. When drawing up a wedding budget, take into account not only the main items of expenses (rings, outfits, a restaurant), but also the cost of various small things (towels, candles, glasses, etc.), which together can also result in a considerable amount. At this stage, it is desirable to determine the number of guests and the venue for the celebration. Start looking at honeymoon options – choose a place, duration of rest.
For 5 months, you need to think in what style and color scheme the event will be held. You can also start choosing a dress and creating an image as a whole and book a restaurant.
4 months before the celebration, it is better to purchase all the necessary accessories or make them yourself if you decide to approach this issue creatively. On your own or with a representative of a wedding agency, choose the design of the hall, choose a good photographer or videographer. If the host will be present at the wedding, discuss the scenario of the event with him, order the musicians.
It is better to plan your wedding in advance and gradually.
3 months before the wedding, start working on the wedding dance, purchase a festive outfit for the groom, approve the decor of the hall, order or make invitations, find a hairdresser and makeup artist, select wedding makeup and hairstyle.
2 months before the wedding, buy shoes, underwear, stockings, jewelry, approve the menu for the wedding banquet, order a cake and transport, buy rings.
1 month before the wedding, order a bouquet, approve the wedding day plan, choose a place for a wedding photo session, make a seating plan for guests.
2 weeks before the celebration, plan a hen and stag party, call the guests to clarify their presence at the celebration (in case of changes, call the restaurant to adjust the number of ordered seats), purchase alcohol.
2 days before the wedding, take alcohol, necessary products, decor to the restaurant, call all the craftsmen, make sure that everything necessary is done.
On the eve of the wedding, prepare your passports, rings, pack your bags, if you go on a honeymoon trip, have a good rest.
To plan a wedding and avoid common mistakes, newlyweds often turn to their parents, friends and acquaintances for advice. This is a great idea – people who have been through this process know better than anyone what needs to be taken into account, and can also advise good organizers of the celebration, musicians, photographers and places to purchase wedding dresses and accessories.
