Planning the Wedding

Everyone dreams about wedding as a perfect day of the life. Therefore it is very important to organize it well.

The preparations can be done in 5 or 6 weeks, of course. All depends on the size and the ideas about your wedding; where do you want your ceremony, reception etc.
Sooner you start to organize your Day D less compromises you will have to do. Some interesting places will be booked soon in advance.


Some advices of the wedding planner:

  • Number of guests is probably the most important question at the beginning. Another important question is where and when do you want to get married. When you have answers for these you may continue - either change the number of invited guests or change the place of reception if they do no match together. Also consider who are you inviting for your wedding and how far your guests have to travel to get to your chosen venues.
  • Visit your potential venues (unless you leave too far and you trust your wedding planner) and book them as soon as you decide for the date. Ceremony and reception venue should not be too far from each other.
  • Look for your bridal gown, then shoes and rings (it may take couple of months until you'll agree with your future husband or wife what type of ring you like and the budget your want to spend for it)
  • Book your photographer, video and print the invitations. Ask for responses from your guests ideally 2 months prior to your wedding
  • Make your list of gifts and choose your honeymoon destination
  • Book the cars, music and other entertainers (their agendas are getting full before the wedding season very quickly)
