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.
