A Dream Wedding Depends on Careful Planning

A Dream Wedding Depends on Careful Planning 1 - Wedding post card

A successful wedding is the culmination of careful decisions made by the couple and their families. Each couple must consider many important factors as they plan their dream wedding.

 

The Cost

The wedding’s cost is the biggest and most important factor for most couples. Couples must decide on a wedding budget before they begin to put money down on rentals and major purchases. The average couple cannot afford an unlimited budget. In years past, many weddings were largely paid for by the bride and groom’s parents. Today, many couples are opting to get married later in life and are choosing to foot the bill themselves. After deciding on a budget, couples can begin to shop for venues, dresses, catering, photography and more.

 

The Date

The wedding’s date can have a major influence on other aspects of the wedding, especially the venue. Popular wedding venues are often booked months in advance, so couples will need to keep this in mind when picking a date. The date also affects the guest list. Many couples consult with the closest members of their family before picking a date. With more and more people connected through social media, it’s easy for couples to find out what dates work well for friends and family. Ultimately, the date is up to the couple, but many couples choose to work around the schedules of those closest to them.



 

The Guest List

After the budget and the date have been finalized, couples should start thinking about their guest list. The size of the wedding party depends on the size of the guest list. This decision will affect many other elements of the wedding, including the size of the venue and the cost of the catering.

For some couples, finalizing the guest list can be one of the most emotionally charged parts of the process. The couple must work out complicated issues together, such as inviting children or distant relatives. Ultimately, the couple must reach a consensus so that they can advance their wedding plans.

 

The Venue

 

Every wedding needs a venue. The venue will set the tone of the wedding, making it one of the most important factors in the wedding planning process. The choice of venue depends on the budget and the type of ceremony the couple will have.

Some couples spend their money on other parts of the wedding, resisting the desire to splurge on a fancy hotel ballroom or resort wedding. These couples may choose a parent’s backyard or a free outdoor public space. Other couples want a religious ceremony that requires a church building.

 

Hands-On Approach or Professional Planning

 

Some brides and grooms want to take a hands-on approach to their big day. Wedding magazines and social media sites, such as Pinterest, have inspired many couples to do their own invitations, wedding centerpieces, decorations and more. These websites and magazines display thousands of creative ideas for weddings. Couples will need to decide if they want to hire a professional wedding planner or do most of the work themselves.
