How to Plan a Perfect Wedding and Make Your Day a Day to Remember
A perfect wedding can be difficult to achieve. But with the right planning and execution, you can achieve perfection and make your wedding day, a day to remember not only to you but also to your guests. Here are 7 basic things to remember when planning a perfect wedding.
Plan Early
Plan your wedding at least 1 year in advance. This will give you a good lead time to identify all the necessary details you need for your perfect wedding. Know the theme or color, budget, location, honeymoon, and every major factor involved in your wedding as early as possible. Take note that you should have made a booking on the venue of your wedding at this point.
Make a checklist as soon as you have identified what your theme. Set objectives and create deadlines for each of them so that you know where you are at during as the wedding day nears.
Get Help
It doesn’t matter whether it is a professional wedding coordinator, your best friend or a family member. What is important is that you have someone or people who can help you accomplish things before your big day come.
Talk to your fiancé, relatives, friends, and parents about your ideas. Make a plan and timetable.
Set Your Priorities...
Accomplish them early...
Here are the things that you should priorities early in wedding preparation: venue, catering, ceremony, dresses, music, videography, photography, and cakes.
Finalize your transportation, stationery & invitations, flowers, and accessories at least 5 months before the wedding.
Some hotels and resorts offer catering and baking services for food and cakes. Check on your location if they have this or check with them if they offer a wedding package. If they do, then you don’t have to contact several wedding vendors - your task is lessened.
Don’t forget the small details
Small things, when gathered together, can make a difference in the overall image of your wedding. Give attention to small details and make sure that they match the theme of your wedding. These things include: the color and material used for the ring pillow, guestbook, flower lace, bridesmaids' and flower girls' headdresses, napkins, and even coasters.
Oversee what's happening
Check with your wedding coordinator, facility manager, and catering manager about the progress of your wedding preparation. Make sure that you have scheduled carefully your appointments with them. Regularly contact these people to keep you posted on what are the things that still need to be done.
Take time to relax
There is no reason to be tensed. Okay, there is. But you deserve a break. The reason why you plan early is to avoid cramming. Better use it wisely and accomplish the things early. So when it is just days before the wedding, your mind is clear and your body is at rest- you are only waiting for the big day to come.
Enjoy the ceremony
At the day of your wedding, everything should be ready. Do not make any major last minute changes. You should have done those months ago. What you should do is get a good rest a night before the wedding, eat good breakfast with your friends and family, and enjoy your first day as married couple. Don’t forget to thank your guests for coming.
