Congratulations, you’re getting married!
There is so much to think about when planning a wedding, in fact you might be wondering “Where do I start?”
There are a few basic steps that are essential to follow to ensure you’re heading on the road to being a happy and stress free bride rather than the dreaded ‘Bridezilla’ or equally a ‘Groomzilla’.
Just follow these 6 simple steps and you’ll be well on the way to wedded bliss!
STEP 1 – Wedding Style
Imagine how you want your wedding to be:
- Formal or Informal
- Religious or Civil
- Location – Local, countryside or abroad
- Climate – Hot or cold
- Size – How big do you want your day to be and who do you want (and not want) to be there
- Wedding party – Best man & Bridesmaids etc. How many and who?
STEP 2 – Set a Budget
This is a vitally important factor, you need to be realistic as to how much you want or, most importantly, can afford to spend on your wedding day.
Calculate how much you can save, and if applicable, how much family members will be willing to contribute – then stick to that calculation.
STEP 3 – Location
The location of your wedding will be a determining factor as to how many guests will be attending. Weddings abroad can cost as little as ½ of a wedding in the UK, so it’s important to research various locations that will fit into your budget and style of wedding.
Step 4 – Legal requirements
Find out exactly what paperwork will you need and how long will it take to obtain and process.
Step 5 – Set a date
When setting the date remember to take into account any local holidays and special events, as these are factors which might increase the price of venues, hotels or flights.
Always check family and friends’ schedules to ensure they can all attend.
Step 6 – Consult a Wedding Planner
Before you go ahead with planning any aspect of your special day invest some time to meet with a wedding planner from the area you are looking to get married in.
Choosing a wedding planner could save you lots of time, money and stress when planning your perfect day and may be more affordable than you imagine.
