Getting married is a huge milestone for couples, so it’s natural to be both excited and flustered when you decide to take this step. This can make wedding planning feel daunting and difficult, but you CAN streamline the process and have the beautiful and memorable nuptials that you deserve.
One step you can take is to ask several key questions that will make wedding planning simpler and less stressful. We’ve listed some of these questions below.
How much will you spend on the wedding?
Many people feel uncertain about setting a budget for weddings; after all, it’s not possible to put a price tag on love and commitment. But it can’t be denied that weddings are often expensive and that they can drain your pockets if you’re not careful. To avoid spending more than necessary, sit down with your sweetheart and decide on how much your wedding budget will be.
What will your wedding theme be?
Whether you’re going for a traditional church wedding or you’re opting for a Bohemian-inspired celebration in the middle of a meadow, you should decide on a theme before you proceed further with the planning process. Having a theme is greatly helpful since it will help you narrow down your options and quickly make the right decisions.
Where do you want to get married?
Your budget, wedding theme, and personal preferences should be considered when choosing the right location. If you and your partner love to spend time on the beach, for instance, a destination wedding in the Caribbean might be a great choice. If you’re looking to keep costs low, however, consider having a simple celebration at home and then splashing out on a tropical destination for your honeymoon.
Will you customise your wedding rings?
If you’ve spent hours browsing through engagement rings and finding one that best suits your lover, you should spend the same amount of time or even more when choosing your wedding rings. Remember that they are a reflection of your bond with your loved one, so look for durable, elegant rings that you’ll want to wear for a long time.
Who will be on your guest list?
Creating a guest list is one of the most exhausting parts of wedding planning. This is particularly true if you and your partner can’t seem to agree on whom to invite and if you’re getting unwanted input from your parents and in-laws. To avoid making mistakes with your guest list, reflect on how you want to approach your big day. Will you be celebrating with all of your friends and relatives or would you like to keep the event cosy and intimate? Don’t forget to calculate the amount that you can comfortably spend on each guest based on your budget and your venue’s rates.
This is certainly not an exhaustive list since there are other factors to consider when organising a wedding. However, you can refer to the questions mentioned above to kick-start the planning process and get a few steps closer to your dream nuptials.
