Congratulations! Your big day is coming up, but as everyone knows, wedding planning is a pain. The average couple takes a year to plan their wedding after that gorgeous proposal. Is a year really enough? Take a look at our checklist so you don’t miss anything important!
No 1. Pick Your Big Date
It’s not easy picking a good day. Make sure you have lots of time to build consensus and compromise with all your important guests! You want a day that really will work for everyone.
No 2. Pick the Wedding Venue
It goes without saying you should book your venue as early as possible. Having a wedding overseas might also seem nice. Remember that July and August are during the rainy season. Keep that in mind if you prefer an outdoor wedding.
No 3. Pick Your Wedding Photo Studio
Capture the sweetest time of your life. Before that though, figure out how you prefer your photos taken and where you’d like to use as a backdrop.
No 4. Pick Your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen
Naturally, your bridesmaids and groomsmen should be people you trust from among your closest friends and family. Their job is to support and help you throughout this important event, so pick someone who instantly comes to your mind when you need help.
No 5. Get Your Wedding Dress Ready First, Then Your Jewels
If you want to be the star of your wedding, you need to pick a wedding dress that brings out your best traits. Worry about the accessories after you pick your clothes—it’s the dress that’s the main attraction. The jewels are there to enhance the overall package.
No 6. Prepare Wedding Favours (Invitation Cards, Red Packets, Bridal Bouquet, Boutonnieres, Corsages and Wedding Cakes)
You’ll have a lot of last-minute things to work on before the big day. Wedding favours seem small but can be a big headache. Deciding what you want to give to your guests in advance can help you concentrate on other urgent matters.
No 7. Decorate Your New Home
Starting a new life together is exciting! Furnishing your new home is definitely fun, especially since this place reflects your love for each other.
No 8. Honeymoon Research
A honeymoon is an extension of the joy you experienced at your wedding and marks the beginning of a new phase in life. A well-planned honeymoon ensures it stays a perfect, sweet memory for a lifetime.
Wedding planning can be a headache, but you should try to relax and enjoy the process as much as possible. Remember, it’s about celebrating your happiness together and your start on a beautiful life journey.
