Are you the bride of 2025? See the current price list here >
Are you engaged and don't know where to start? You are just beginning the most wonderful and probably the most stressful time of your life, but it's worth it! Let's take a look at it together.
I decided to list a few points in order of importance. Of course, I'm sticking to the saying : A hundred people have a hundred tastes, so this list may not suit everyone. At the same time, maybe it's also a reminder so that with so many things to do, you don't forget something important.
Date
It's important to set a date right from the start so that you can go from there when booking venues and suppliers. Of course it happens that you have your dream venue that you are willing to sacrifice the date for, which is perfectly fine. In that case, consider this point secondary. 😀 Often, engaged couples choose a date that has special meaning to them, such as a first date, an engagement date, or simply impresses them at first.
Place
There are countless beautiful venues for your wedding. If you're the example I gave above, feel free to skip this point. It's a good idea to do your research and have several venues in mind. You never know if they'll have your date available or if you'll be as happy when you're sightseeing as you are when you're looking at photos online. Don't be afraid to look at multiple locations, no one is forbidding you from doing so. It's your big day, the main thing is that you two are happy.
Style / Theme
You're sure to save lots of inspiration for your wedding. What do you think your dream wedding should look like. Now is the time to get inspired. Even a wedding should be in a certain style. If you love colours, transform them into your wedding decor too. If on the other hand you love minimalism now is your time. It's all about what you like. The decorator or the company itself is associated with this point and will transform your idea into reality. If you are undecided just such companies can direct you.
At the same time, I've noticed that it has become popular to have a wedding in the theme. For example, a beach party themed wedding, which not only the decor but also the dress code is matched to. It's up to you how you arrange your big day. It is customary to give a dress code for themed weddings, which is probably not one of the most popular with guests, but as long as you let them know well in advance, I think it's all good.
Photographer / Cameraman
An important part of every wedding is the photographer and videographer. Our job is to capture your unforgettable day in the most beautiful memories. However, it is still true that not everyone wants this combination at their wedding. It's good book a photographer and a videographer as soon as possible, as the deadlines are constantly filling up and yours may be taken. It's hard to look for a photographer or videographer at the last minute. This is true with any option. Again, it's a good idea to do your research before choosing. Photographer or videographer should captivate you with its style, but communication and expression are equally important.
DJ / Band
Music is an integral part of the wedding. It completes the right atmosphere. Don't save this choice for last either. Relying on someone being available a few weeks, months before the wedding can be a big risk. Here it's up to you whether you choose live music or a Dj, sometimes it's possible to combine the two. There can also be an emcee linked to the music, where the dj is in the role of an elder or emcee.
Wedding dresses
Don't worry I haven't forgotten! But I don't think this point needs much reminding. Choosing a wedding dress is definitely something most of you will do right after choosing a date or venue. I don't want to repeat myself, but still, the sooner the better. A few months before the wedding, your dream model may just be taken.
Printed materials
Not to forget the creation of announcements, invitations and other accessories that will beautifully complete your wedding.
Of course there are plenty of other points not to be forgotten such as catering, cake, wedding bands, candy bar, accessories and much more.
On the other hand, there is no need to hang your head even if you are planning a wedding at the "last minute". Everything has its pros and cons. Only when planning like this, you have to take into account that not every supplier you choose will be available yet.
Plan your day the way you want it, not the way others want it! It's your day!
