Planning for your dream wedding requires creative input from both partners and if you've decided to include any family members and committee friends in the planning so be it, all hands must be on deck for a rigorous preparations to make sure the day goes smoothly. Wedding planning can be a fun but it can also be very challenging and stressful. Indeed, you can be assured that some plans won't go the way we like them to, so plan for that eventuality too! It very important to stick to a budget.
Here are some tips to help you in planning your dream wedding.
1. Choose what is important to you -- the music, the food, and the people? This is also the time to brainstorm your wish list and priorities for your wedding Day. Don't restrict or censor yourself; just record all of your ideas, even the crazy ones! You can apply "Reality Checks" later as you finalize the details.
2. Timing is very important, paramount and everything is ties to it. It is best to begin planning about your wedding date or at least, the season or time of year you prefer (6m0nths ahead), as everything else will revolve around it from venue availability to seasonal gift packages. Choose a day of the week you would prefer as well as the time of day you would like to be married.
3. Location is important, you have to take into consideration whether you travel to a fabulous destination or get married locally? Make a list of your style basics like formal or informal, indoor or outdoor, religious or secular. If you already have ideas on theme, colour, venue type or reception, include those as well. Are you a vintage romantic who dream of a posh wedding in a pinkish stunning reception hall or are you a country chic who loves earth tones and envisions a wedding in a green valley.
4. Write your love story as it will come handy on your wedding day when making a toast. It is a wonderful way to show vendors who you are and what you are all about. It can also inspire your vision and style, be used in your program, as well as inform other wedding details. Since we live in a world where time is of the essence and people require immediate gratification, you will want to keep it brief, say the length of half a page of a piece of sheet.
5. Estimate your guest count and other items that will have a large impact on your budget such as the number of attendants you think you will have. Set your budget. Assigning a Naira amount to each major category will prevent you from making those impulse purchases. Including a 10 percent contingency fund will help you in case you do cave.
I hope these words make sense and useful. I employ you to imbibe these steps when planning your dream wedding.
