What to Consider before Planning a Wedding
Planning a wedding has become an expensive and time-consuming process. With so much to think about and do, it can be hard to know where to start. You will want to make decisions that are right for you and your wedding.
What is the most important thing in a wedding? Determine the 3-5 areas that are most important to you and your partner, and focus on those. You also need to consider your wedding budget and how much money you want to spend on your big day.
The 6 Most Important Parts of a Wedding
1. Choosing the Wedding Rings
The engagement ring is the symbol of love and commitment. It is traditionally worn on the left hand ring finger, though it is not unusual for it to be worn on the right hand. Choosing your wedding ring is also important, as it is something that you will be wearing every day. Many different wedding ring styles and options are out there, so be sure to look at places like Brilliant Earth, before you make a decision. Also take into consideration whether you want your engagement ring to match your wedding rings. If so then this decision should influence your choices in wedding rings.
2. Picking the Right Wedding Venue
Of all the important parts of a wedding, your venue choice can affect so much – including ambience and food/beverages.
Wedding venues come in many shapes, sizes, styles, and price ranges. It’s important to consider what matters to you and the sort of wedding you want. So think about things like the look and design, capacity, location, and budget. And don’t forget about the amenities that each venue offers. For example, some have their own catering, others don’t. Some provide basic table linens and napkins, others do not.
3. Wedding Flowers and Decorations
Wedding flowers and decorations is an important part of the wedding. You don’t have to go with over-the-top extravagance, but you do want it to look amazing.
Choose a color scheme that you and your partner like, and stick with it throughout the event. Also choose flowers that you like and that will last throughout the day. Non-floral decorations are a great way to add personality but can cost less than all flowers. Experiment with different styles of décor – from rustic to modern – in order to find one that suits you and your partner best.
4. Choosing the Wedding Cake
Choosing the wedding cake doesn’t have to be a difficult task. The most important thing to do is to find the right cake that is going to satisfy both you and your guests. There are many different flavors and styles of wedding cakes, so it can be hard to decide which one is best for your event. It’s a good idea to try some out and see what you like.
Choose a cake that looks fabulous (you’ll want it to fit your personalities and wedding style), and tastes delicious. White cake is a perennial favorite, but don’t be afraid to be adventuresome with other flavors.
5. Choosing Music and Entertainment
Choosing the right music/entertainment is key to a memorable event. You may want to dance the night away to a live band or DJ, or prefer to socialize while music plays in the background. Or you might want something unexpected like an up-close magician during the cocktail hour or a caricaturist drawing your guests.
6. Photos To Consider On Your Wedding Day
Photos are an important part of your wedding day as they capture the moment and become memories for a lifetime. They also become family heirlooms for future generations. Choose poses and shots that you feel comfortable with. Your photographer can advise you on this beforehand too.
When it comes to choosing a photographer, make sure you do some digging. There are lots of great photographers out there that can be found in a variety of ways. Ask for recommendations from friends and family members who have recently got married and check out social media for wedding photographer profiles.
The best wedding photographers will offer a variety of packages to suit the wedding couple’s budget and needs, so do your research.
