Wedding Planning Tips That You Won’t Find In Any Bridal Publication
Herewith then a very basic list of things to keep in mind when planning a wedding:
To start with, you’ll need a spending budget. Don’t try to do this the other way round! Don’t go from wedding venue to wedding venue and have a look at 200 beautiful gowns, only to then realize that you will have to save for a decade or two to afford a specific venue or designer dress! Decide on your financial budget first, and then you can split the budget into the different categories and be sure that you don’t spend 99% of your budget on your venue and have no money left for a wedding photographer, wedding dress or honeymoon vacation!
Decide on approximately how many guests you want to invite. This will have a big influence on the type of wedding venue you should look for, the cost of the reception, the cost of the wedding favours etc. This is particularly important if a lot of guests are from out of town and will be requiring lodging.Choose good wedding photographer! Your wedding photos are probably the one thing that you’ll be able to get pleasure from years and years after your wedding! Sooner or later the piece of wedding cake that you tried to preserve in your deep freeze will end up in the dustbin, the food at the wedding reception would be long forgotten about, the flowers will turn into compost. but your wedding pictures should last eternally! Do not skimp on quality! I am not saying that you have to reserve the costliest wedding photographer you can find, but it does mean that you don’t have to settle for second best! Do some proper research, have a look at a number of portfolios and pick a wedding photographer that you would feel comfortable with!
Ensure that you know what is included and excluded when booking a venue. Wedding venues can be very sneaky! You may be offered a “fantastic” deal at a very affordable rate, only to later learn that basically everything, from the knives on the tables to the waiters and barmen are excluded from the quote! This can turn into quite a terrible surprise, so make sure that you are fully aware of all the conditions and terms!
These pointers may sound pretty obvious, but believe me, if you don’t know where to start your wedding planning; this might end up being very useful! Keep a little notebook handy, and make notes wherever you go. First and foremost – enjoy!
