You've said yes, and you're finally ready to prepare for the most beautiful day of your life! Barely recovered from your emotions, it's time to get to work because a wedding ceremony doesn't just happen, and you're not the only couple planning such a celebration. So, there's no point in hanging around hiring service providers and starting to prepare for your wedding celebration. Check out our checklist to know where to start and ensure you don't forget anything when planning your wedding ceremony.
Where should I start?
Now that you've decided to get married, you have to start somewhere. The first decision to make is to choose the date and the location of the ceremony (the town). All other actions will flow from these elements. Don't hesitate to set a date well in advance. 9 months is a minimum and will require rhythmic preparation. The more time you take, the more choice you'll have in service providers. If you decide to get married abroad, allow even more time for planning. In this case, two years of planning is not too much.
If you plan to get married in your town of residence, the planning will be even simpler because you can make all the appointments around your home. But don't forget that this choice should, above all, depend on your desires!
Choose your wedding theme and budget
At the same time, you can start thinking about your specific wishes for the ceremony and the possible theme you would like to implement. Don't hesitate to be creative; it's your day!
You'll also need to set a budget in advance, which will allow you to determine the entertainment you'll be able to put in place. In some cases, you'll need to hire a professional, but for many attractions, you'll just have to get your hands dirty!
Prepare your guest list
You'll also need to quickly consider the guest list you'd like to have around you for the event. This number will have an impact on the budget and venue, so it's important to quickly create this list. Once you've chosen all the names, remember to quickly inform them so they can save the date.
Find the ceremony location
Now that your main criteria are defined, all the elements are in place to determine the reception venue. Several options are then available to you depending on your desires and your budget. The classic solution is to turn to reception venues. Sites such as Estates and castles often offer comprehensive services including meals, accommodation, and an entertainer.
If your budget is smaller, don't hesitate to contact municipalities, which often have municipal halls perfectly suited to hosting a wedding ceremony.
But keep in mind that anything is possible! You can also let your imagination run wild by getting married on a barge or under an arbor in a park or garden.
Finally, choose your wedding vendors
You can begin searching for service providers who will enhance your ceremony. If your venue doesn't offer additional services, you'll need to find a caterer for the meal. You can also call on your loved ones for this.
Depending on your preferences, you may also want to consider an entertainer and often a photographer. Don't hesitate to book as early as possible; these professionals are often fully booked on summer weekends to cover the various weddings.
Last step: the most fun!
You now have a venue, a date, and you've found all the wedding planners. All that's left is to put together the most exciting aspects of the ceremony. It's
time to decorate the venue according to your tastes or theme, as well as the entertainment that will punctuate the evening. It's also time to take care of yourself. You can start looking for the dress and suit for the most beautiful day of your life and choose your wedding rings together.
