An ethereal and sophisticated wedding ceremony wrapped in surreal white and pastel hues is everybody’s dream. A wedding is a colossal but emotional milestone in a person’s life. While some might want to keep the occasion private with only a few friends and family, others might walk the extra mile to make it as grandiose as it can be. Whether your choice is the former or the latter, weddings need a lot of planning. From venues to invitation cards, the tasks are practically endless. But you need not fret too much, as below is the guide to a well planned and successful wedding.<\/p>\n

Setting a budget is the first and most crucial part of wedding planning as this factor plays the most vital role in how your wedding finally turns out to be. It might not be the most exciting of tasks to do but once you dwell on the matter and agree on an amount, the overall task gets much easier. After all, you might not want to set your eyes on the perfect dress or venue and then fall short of cash. Therefore, it is highly imperative to discuss with your significant contributors and figure out how much you can afford to spend on each prospect.<\/p>\n

It really doesn’t matter if you want 30 guests at your party or 300 guests, what matters is that you need to agree on an estimated number in order to proceed with the other tasks. Confer with your significant other and decide on the ones you want to include in your big day and if your budget is agreeing with the estimated number. Depending on your guest list, you can narrow down the obtainable venues and menus. It is also a bright idea to choose your maid of honor, bridesmaids, best man, and groomsmen beforehand.<\/p>\n

3. The Prerequisite Date<\/h2>\n

While it isn’t possible to set a final date before you book the venue, it is certainly helpful to narrow down a few potential dates. You can consider if your wedding must be on a conventional Saturday night or on a rare weekday. Having a weekend wedding will demand more expenses and instigate overall competition while having a weekday wedding will be a little easier to plan. Some other factors to consider are the availability of family and friends, work schedules, holidays etc.<\/p>\n

Now that you have all the crucial factors like setting a budget, planning a guest list and agreeing upon a few potential dates out of the way, you are finally free to choose a venue. Our suggestion would be to look through online reviews of venues near you. Look through each detail carefully like the capacity, interior, commute etc. If you are able to shortlist a few, go visit them personally with your partner to seal your perfect option. Read your venue contract thoroughly before signing it. Once you have booked the venue, you have your official wedding date! You might hire a wedding planner before or after choosing your venue.<\/p>\n
