Planning a Successful Wedding
Wedding Planning is the realization of a lot of ideas,
thoughts, brainstorming discussions, budget planning, and many
sleepless nights. Well, if you have contracted a professional
wedding planner to take care of the wedding arrangements, you
can breath easy. Otherwise, it is a heck of a job that requires
meticulous planning and yes, some serious leg work upfront.
However, with little bit of application of mind, any wedding
function can be made a successful and memorable event, both for
the marrying couple as well as the many invited guests. We will
try to take you through the vital aspects that contribute
towards making a successful
wedding.
The first and perhaps most important thing to do is to jot
down all the thoughts that come to your mind, which you think,
have some role to play in the wedding planning process. There
could be really silly and unimportant things in that but let it
stay for the time being. The point here is not to miss out
anything that can make your wedding a grand success. Now,
discuss your thoughts and ideas with you fiancée (maybe your
honeymoon location as well) and your family members.
Budgeting, as always, is a tad complex issue, and even
though there is no problem in giving it some thought now, it is
better not to waste much time discussing the money. After you
lay down the basic outline of the wedding plan, it’ll emerge
into the periphery automatically. Also, use this opportunity to
discuss the number of guests who may arrive for the
function/wedding
reception, the type of wedding
ceremony, and transportation aspects.
Ideally, both the would-be spouses, after having their lists
in order, should, preferably with their parents, come together,
may be for a dinner meeting, to chart the final wedding plan.
This is also the right moment to reach a consensus on the ball
park guest headcount, and the budget for the entire wedding
function. The earlier you do this, the better and easier will
the job ahead become. At least, you’ll get the time to change
the plans here and there.
Other prominent things associated with planning a wedding
include the wedding theme, invitations and printing,
reception hall and related aspects such as its rental, music
and its decoration. Then think of wedding
flowers for the Church, reception, and
bridal party. Then there is the bridesmaids dresses,
wedding dresses such as a
gown, and Tuxedo's, its style, budget etc. Next come the
gifts for the wedding party, wedding
cakes - types of cake, it’s size,
and how it is to be decorated - food types, flavors, and
dishes, jewelry like wedding
rings, and finally, the ceremony itself,
booking the Church, and a donation towards the Church. The
internet is a great place to research all these things.
Let’s look at a few of these in detail.
Invitations, it must ideally be printed in advance, and the
initial number can be made on a ball park estimate of the
number of guests you are planning to invite. The same level of
preplanning is also required in booking the reception hall,
Church, and contracting the catering team, professionals for
the wedding
photography, and a beautician for
doing the last-minute make-up on the bride/bridegroom and
of course planning the wedding
vows. Next comes ordering the dresses
for all, and shopping, including buying all wedding
jewelry for the function. It is better to have the
tuxedos and wedding gowns as well
as jewelry ready a few days at least before the big
day.
Finally, to make the day a splendid one, arrange for a
suitable music band or DJ to spice up the moment, and make sure
that the hall also has a spacious dance floor for the guests to
shake their legs. Nobody wants to be the first on a dance
floor. So it goes without mention that it is your duty to get
the ball rolling when it is time to dance.
It is also a good idea to rope in a professional wedding
planner to streamline things. He/she could also play a big role
in coordinating things at the time of the function.
Wedding planning is a tedious job by itself. Despite the
enormousness of the occasion, with proper planning, you can
make it work wonders, and make it the most memorable day in
both your's and your guest’s lives. Remember, such days come
only once in a lifetime.
