You need to have a checklist of the things you want to do that will bring out the best on that special day. It’s not that hard to get started. Just create your checklist and get ready for a wedding that will make you smile from ear to ear and feel excited.
How’s Your Budget
Your budget is paramount when it comes to planning your wedding. You can’t even create a checklist or look at anything without having a budget in place.
Well, at least you shouldn’t, especially if you are serious about getting your wedding off the ground as soon as possible. You need to carefully consider how much money you can afford to spend on every aspect of your wedding.
The Dress
The dress is arguably the showstopper when it comes to any wedding and you want to make sure that you look spectacular. It’s often difficult to pinpoint which one is right for you.
It can be one of the hardest decisions of your life but it is something that you must do to make your day special. In fact, many would argue that it is a highlight of the day. The bottom line is that you need to be especially diligent about getting it right.
One of the things you can do to make sure that you choose a spectacular dress is to start collecting pictures of the ones you find fascinating. This is a starting point that will help you to make good decisions when it comes to your final choice.
Take a look at all the styles and even materials on the dress that catch your eye. You can save them on a vision board on Pinterest for your wedding. This way you will always be able to refer back to the clips that you find fascinating and it will help you generate your choices.
Your Jewelry
Your jewelry should always make a statement at your wedding! No matter what pieces you select they should make your wedding dress come alive and look more beautiful. Depending on the type of dress you will need to be careful about loud statement jewelry.
Avoid jewelry that is too chunky as this can take away from your dress. When it comes to selecting wedding jewelry whether it’s wedding earrings or necklaces or something else, you should always make sure that this is beautiful. Talking of jewelry, most probably the most important, don’t forget those Wedding rings. Those small, circular bands represent eternal love, commitment, and the unending bond between partners. Forgetting your wedding rings on this significant day can be an unintentional oversight that may momentarily cast a shadow on the joyous celebration. Those carefully chosen rings serve as tangible reminders of the promises made during the ceremony, encapsulating the essence of your union. Their absence may not only cause logistical challenges but also evoke a sense of incompleteness in the momentous exchange of vows. To prevent this oversight, consider designating a trusted friend or family member as the guardian of the rings, ensuring they are safely transported to the venue. Alternatively, create a checklist for the final wedding preparations to ensure that every detail, including the rings, is meticulously attended to. By prioritizing the presence of these cherished symbols, you can ensure that your wedding day is a seamless and unforgettable celebration of love.
The Bridesmaid Dresses
The dresses that your bridesmaids wear are also a cause for concern. The bridesmaids should never outshine the bride but you still want them to look great.
After all, you don’t want to have pictures that look less than spectacular when you go down memory lane. This means that you need to decide on a style for your bridesmaid dresses as quickly as you can.
Try to settle this matter urgently as it can make or break your wedding. You’ve probably seen pictures of brides with bridesmaids that look hideous in their photographs.
The bridesmaid should never outshine the bride but their dresses should not be so difficult to look at that they become the center of attention in photographs, you need to find a style that will complement your dress.
Your Hair
As a bride, you always want to make sure that your hair’s on point. Whether you decide to let it loose or do an up do it’s completely up to you. However, you must consider your personal sense of style, and what works best with your hair type and lens.
If you’re having an outdoor wedding it’s probably better that you don’t have too much air floating around, in case there’s a lot of breeze, it can get very distracting.
Don’t be afraid to play around and have fun with different styles before your wedding to see what works for you.
This is another area in which you can save one or several different pictures that you love.
The Cake

Decorating Your Venue
Decorating your venue is something you’re going to need to do. It’s in your best interest that you try to make sure that whatever you do looks eye-catching to both you and your guests. It will provide a background for your pictures so you want to make sure that it is as amazing as it can be.
The fact that you have to decorate the venue is a great way to push for a theme to be created. If you want the venue to look as great as possible you can’t be wishy-washy or mismatched about all your decorating. You have to select a theme for your wedding and roll with it to make your venue pop!
Ask about whether catering is available at the venue you are selecting. If catering is available then you are already well ahead in your planning. You won’t have to be running around trying to find someone suitable.
Get Catering Right
If catering isn’t provided, getting it done for a wedding can be very hard to do and you always want to make sure that you are selecting food that your guests will find to be mouth-wateringly delicious. This is no small feat to accomplish and you must make sure that you do a great job when it comes to making your selection.
Sample various menus from different caterers to see whether or not they may be suitable for you. Remember too that you have to think about your guests who have special dietary needs when you are selecting a menu.
Your Guest List
This is probably one of the most important parts of your wedding planning. You want to sit down and make a guest list and decide who you want at your wedding and who you simply cannot attend.
Many couples have grand ideas at the beginning of how many people they want to invite but when they start seeing the prices, their jaws drop in amazement and they realize that there’s no way they’ll be able to sustain the vision that they have. It may feel gut-wrenching to have to give up on your vision of a very large wedding if that has always been your dream.
However, there are times when you may have to compromise your vision just a little bit so that you can pull the purse strings a little tighter.
The Music
You’re going to need music for your wedding, especially the reception, so you need to think about the type of music that you want at your wedding.
You could use your theme to help you come up with ideas for the music that you want. Remember that you will usually need to do a couples dance at the reception and you want to be prepared for that.
Many couples want something a little bit more enthralling and take private lessons from dancers to show off their dance moves. However, if you don’t have the money to do this there’s always YouTube.
You can practice your signature dance moves from there to any song that you love. There’s nothing greater than dancing with the love of your life to one of your favorite love songs, on your big day!
There’s a lot to do if you’re going to pull off a fantastic wedding day. Since you have no choice but to deliver on that day, you want to make sure that you are very prepared. Start making the preparations that have been detailed here early, so that you don’t get disappointed.
Disappointments and weddings should not go hand in hand. There should only be joy on your wedding day. When you look back at your memories you should have a smile on your face and not a sad one. The best way to make sure that your wedding lives up to your expectations is to plan it carefully, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for wedding day bliss.
