The day has come when your beloved bent the knee and said those very cherished words: “Marry me” ❤️ Your heart filled with joy, tears flowed from your eyes, your breath froze for a moment and you answered “Yes!”. From that second on, all your thoughts will be occupied with one thing: preparing for the celebration. Where to start? Where to run?
Take it easy!
We're here to help!
First of all, calm down, have a cup of hot tea or coffee, and then start preparing point by point.
- Decide on the concept of the celebration. Whether it will be a large wedding or a family dinner. Out of town, in a restaurant or abroad?
- Choose a date for the celebration. If you are planning a wedding in the summer, you should start looking for contractors in advance. As well as prepare for higher costs.
- Decide on a budget. This is very important! As from the budget you will first of all be repulsed when choosing everything!
- Make a preliminary list of guests. Believe me, it will change more than once. However, it is necessary to compile it at this stage to select a wedding venue.
- Choose a venue. On this topic we wrote a separate article. You can read it at the link below.
- Selection of a wedding venue.
- Just remember that in the summer the best sites are sold out very quickly!
- Choose a registry office and book a time for registration. If your wedding is in the summer, it is advisable to do this at the same time as selecting the venue. So that it did not turn out so that the restaurant is booked, but the time in the registry office is not.
- Buy a wedding dress! The most long-awaited and fabulous moment for any bride. Let it be the most ❤️
- Choose accessories to the dress. Shoes, earrings, bracelets, veil. Very often a large number of details can be purchased in ordinary stores.
- Buy wedding rings. It is not at all necessary that they should be identical. Put the rings in a safe place after purchase.
- Make a tentative timing of the day. Not detailed. You will need this information for the invitations to notify guests when the registration and banquet begins.
- Prepare the invitations. You can make them with your own hands or with the help of designers. Make classic invitations or a whole website!
- Send out the invitations to the guests. We recommend doing this in advance, so that guests have time to prepare and plan their time. In the invitations you can specify wishes for dress code and gifts ?
- Find a host. And remember that you choose the mood of the holiday! Let it be fun, moderately creative and charismatic.
- Start preparing the wedding dance. Decide what it will be: romantic or active. Select a choreographer and go ahead to rehearse!
- Find florists, decorators, pastry chef. Discuss with them the style of the wedding, show photos of the site, tell them about your wishes.
- Find a stylist. Find a person who will make you even more beautiful on this day! And do not forget to sign up for a rehearsal of the wedding image.
- Choose a wedding photographer and cameraman. You'll probably want to capture this day in more than just your memory.
- Book musicians, magician, show programs. If you're planning any entertainment beyond the host, now's the time to find them!
- Update timings. When all the contractors are found, you can already make a more precise timing of the whole day. When is the photo shoot, when is the magician performing, when is the cake being brought out. Don't forget to send out timings to all contractors!
- Rent Transportation. When you have timings and a list of confirmed guests, you can book transportation for them and yourself. It is advisable to have a few spare seats available.
- Don't forget to end the evening! Fireworks, balloon ceremony or something else.
- Prepare a seating chart for the guests. Send it also to all contractors: to the restaurant, decorators, host, photographers, cameraman. Everyone should be aware of it!
- Finalize the wedding timing and send it out again to contractors. Especially if there are changes to it!
- Contact all contractors and approve arrangements.
- Gather all the little things. Prepare the dress, suit, rings.
Here we go! Well done! Now all you have to do is enjoy your wedding day and take the first step in your happy family life ❤️.
