So you and your partner have made the decision to be married. Obviously, after a few days, the next most important task on your list is deciding on a date for the wedding. And, your wedding will be one of the most complicated events that you will ever have to plan for.
Planning a wedding can easily get to the point where it overwhelms everyone involved. This is true even if you have been through a wedding before. That's because you have thousands of little decisions to make together. So, the earlier you are able to settle upon a wedding day, the faster you can begin to line up each of pieces that will have to in place in order to make the wedding a success. So what exactly are the things that you will have to plan for?
Once the wedding date is set, you can begin to plan the hundreds of other little things that have to be done for the wedding. Probably, one of the more important decisions that will have to be made is the bride's dress. Sometimes, the decision is easy. The bride will simply wear the dress that her mother has passed down to her. More often, however, in an effort to make her dress unique, the bride will elect to choose a dress that has been customized for her.
Because everyone wants a perfect wedding, it can literally take months to choose the ideal wedding dress. And then, after it has been chosen, you will have to set aside time for readjustments, modifications, and most important of all - dieting, to ensure that once the wedding date is here, your wedding dress will still fit.
Planning for a wedding, even a small one, means that professionals are going to have to be involved. It is unavoidable. And, in order to do the best job possible, these professionals require lead times. This means that the faster you are able to tie them up, the better. What do you need? You are going to need include a photographer, possibly a videographer, a florist, and a caterer. And, in order to plan their schedules, they all need to know the wedding date.
As you begin to choose the particular professionals for each category, watch your pocketbook and try not to spend more than the amount that you have budgeted. It is a rare wedding indeed, that does not exceed its budget. But at least try to keep it close. Doing this will help to ensure that you don't start off your marriage financially in the red.
And, finally, something that is of extreme importance to all wedding couples is the matter of securing a suitable reception hall and wedding venue. You will find that some of the more popular places will have been booked months and even years in advance. If you want a quick wedding, these will quickly have to be ruled out.
Traditional wedding halls are becoming more and more difficult to book. As a result, one thing that a lot more wedding couples are doing is to plan for their wedding and reception to take place at unusual places where they won't be up against so much competition. For example, a tasteful ceremony at a museum, in a nature park, an orchestra hall, or even in a ball park can often be more memorable that one at a banquet hall or church.
The trick to succeeding in all of this, however, is to first determine the date of your wedding.
