The first thing you will plan for your wedding is the budget.Talk between yourselves and your respective parents about the kind of service you would like.You will find that your parents will be of enormous help to you in discussing he budget. On your very special day you will want the best of everything.So plan carefully the style and tone of the day.
When you have decided, visit your Vicar/Priest or Registrar and make arrangements for your marriage ceremony. They will be of great help to you both and explain everything you will need to know about walking up the aisle and saying “I do”. If you wish, a rehearsal can be arranged to set your minds at ease and to assure you that it will all be perfect on your wedding day. Take this opportunity to apply for a marriage licence if necessary.
Now might also be the ideal time to decide on who you will ask to be “Chief Bridesmaid” and “Best Man”
Once you have decided the data and place of your wedding, it is important to remember the following points. In descending order your family and friends will generally remember the following:
Think about it. Now is certainly the time to be choosing carefully both your wedding dress and reception venue.
Other important things to be arranged now are as follows:
You have now put in place an excellent framework for the build up to your big day. Hopefully, you now have a team of professionals all working towards making sure it is a day to remember, and for all the right reasons.
Time for some gun! Lets organise a wedding present list. (Don't forget that a lot of stores will help you do this.) Having already organised your dress you will probably have a colour scheme in mind for the bridesmaids' dresses.Now is the time to be co-ordinating these as well.
Once the colour scheme is decided it is probably time to start ordering the flowers for bouquets, church and reception if required.
Other items to arrange now are:
While you're on the phone, now might be the ideal time to organise appointments with your hairdresser and beauty salon, to make sure you look at your most beautiful on the big day.
Now is the time to be sending out the wedding invitations. This would also be the ideal time to be escorting the “mums” into town to organise their outfits. (Don't forget the hats!)
Also:-
In addition it is worth thinking about
You should now be fairly well organised and in envious position of sitting back and relaxing for a couple of weeks in the full knowledge that there are a whole host of people out there worrying on your behalf. However, on your one weekend off between now and the big day, it might be an excellent idea to nip out and choose some presents for the bridesmaids and perhaps some flowers for the mums.
The pace is starting to hot up now.It's time to see whether everyone else has been as organised as you.
If you haven't organised a rehearsal of the ceremony, now might be a good time to meet with the best man, bridesmaids and ushers to finalise arrangements and responsibilities.
And, perhaps most importantly of all...
