You should take into account the best wedding planning tips for organizing an unforgettable wedding, especially if you plan it on your own, and they are as follows.
The primary step in wedding planning is to set up a budget. Everything depends on it. However, it is hard to calculate everything you need if you’re not a wedding professional. To start, create a table with the next column subheadings:
To make it even easier, use the ready-made wedding planning budget worksheet. Special wedding planner apps like WeddingHappy, Wedding Planner by The Knot, etc. can also help you with budget estimates.
If you dream of a themed wedding (like a sakura blossom wedding or a snow-white one) or an ordinary ceremony, set up a time frame for preparation. Create not only a wedding planning schedule but also one for a wedding day. This can help you manage everything in time.
Especially during the most popular months in June, September, and October. However, be ready to pay more for venues, services and to book beforehand. If you want some discounts, you can organize your wedding in January and March. These months are not so popular.
The choice of place depends on whether you would like to have an outdoor or indoor wedding, the budget you have, the season, etc. One of the wedding trends for 2018 is industrial space that makes you feel more relaxed. 24 % of couples choose destination weddings – marrying away from home.
It is one of the most memorable types of wedding that includes planning in advance. The guests are rarely involved in the wedding organization. They just visit the reception. The most popular locations are Las Vegas (as it is fast, fun, and rather affordable), Hawaii (as it provides a couple with heavenly beaches, nature, and resorts), the Caribbean, and Mexico (as they are famous for all-inclusive resorts with beach getaways).
However, a destination wedding can sometimes be risky. Best wedding tips for this type are to take into account such factors as a potential location, guest mobility, unexpected costs, exchange rates, etc. Reserve a venue in advance and have a backup plan!
The most important part of your wedding planning is choosing a wedding dress. Give yourself enough time to find the perfect one. And don’t forget about picking up accessories. The royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle set up trends for 2018. Meghan mentioned before in her interview for Glamour,
“Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist. I personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic.”
According to Bridal Fashion Week, princess-inspired capes have become a trend.
Good makeup is a must-have. Choose the specialist you trust. Wedding make-up is not the time for the experiments. You should trust your makeup specialist. It is better to try out several looks to choose the perfect one.
The right choice includes such options as matching color, style, and trends. You should also consider the season. Set up a general color for the wedding and ask your bridesmaids to select complementary shades. The groom wear usually includes a suit, a tie, a cravat, and a waistcoat. However, the choice depends on the wedding type: formal or casual.
Think of key people you want to invite and prepare a list. The guest manager app (like Guest List Organizer, Wedding Planner by The Knot, Guest List Management & Tracking, Wedding Guest Manager ) can help you with it.
Decide on the wedding music playlist that will complement the ceremony and stick to the wedding theme.
The choice of a photographer is based on many factors that include not only his/her professional skills but also how this person sees the whole picture of your wedding. The picture should suit the wedding style and convey the right mood and atmosphere.
To start, read the reviews about photographers on websites like pissedconsumer.com, meet potential ones who are available on your wedding date, assess their works, and choose the professional who has the right vision on your wedding style.
Select all the decoration details according to the style and theme of your wedding. The 2018 wedding decorations trend is to use macramé and crystals in decorating tables, chairs, and bouquet wraps.
Wedding-planning on your own can be very stressful. If the budget allows, it is good to hire professionals who will provide you with wedding planning tips and tricks. To find a good specialist, make a detailed research on wedding planners, read as many reviews as possible. Don’t let the non-professionals spoil your big day.
This person is very dissatisfied with the wedding organization and advises to read and to listen to all the reviews to exclude such situations. In this Your California Beach Wedding review (source: PissedConsumer.com) consumer wrote,
“She stuttered through our ceremony & mispronounced my husband's name. She forgot the sand for the sand ceremony, the rose petals and the decorations didn't look anything like in the pictures. The setup looked like a child threw everything together at the last minute. My bridal bouquet was wilted and she made an excuse about the weather being too hot.
It wasn't even that hot that day in Sept. Then to add insult to injury, we still haven't received our photos, which were taken with a cheap Cannon camera by her friend, not a "Professional Photographer" as promised… “
