• BUDGETING

First things first, let's talk about the budget. Make a list of everything you'll need to spend money on, from the venue to flowers and even the photographer. Don't forget to set aside some extra cash for those unexpected costs that always seem to pop up. Stick to your budget as much as possible so you don't stress out over spending too much.

• VENUES

Alright, let's talk venues. Imagine the perfect spot for your wedding. Think where you want it to be, how many people can fit, and what it'll cost. Whether you want a fancy ballroom or something more rustic outdoors, ensure it aligns with your vision for the perfect day.

• Guest Lists and Invitations

Let's talk about guest lists and invitations - it can be overwhelming, right? 

One helpful tip is to use online tools or spreadsheets to keep track of RSVPs and meal selections. Don't forget to design your invitations to complement your wedding theme. To make things easier for yourself, ensure you set a deadline for RSVPs so you know who will be attending.  

• CEREMONY & RECEPTION PLANNING

Take the time to carefully plan your ceremony and reception to create a seamless and unforgettable experience for you and your guests. From selecting vows and music to organizing seating and choosing the entertainment. Every little detail matters. Ensure every aspect of your big day reflects the beautiful love story that brought you together.

Finding the perfect wedding attire is the top focus for many couples. Whether you're shopping for a bridal gown, groom's suit, or dresses for bridesmaids, take your time to find outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful on your special day.

• DIY Ideas

Personalize your wedding with DIY projects that add a personal touch to your decor and favors. From handmade centerpieces to custom signage, incorporating DIY elements into your wedding allows you to showcase your creativity and individuality.

• Wedding Registries

Create a wedding registry that includes items you'll need for your new life together as a married couple. Consider essentials for your home, as well as experiences and charitable donations that reflect your values and aspirations for the future.

• Honeymoon Planning

Don't forget to plan for your honeymoon! Research destinations, activities, and budgets to create a memorable and stress-free post-wedding getaway. Whether you prefer a relaxing beach escape or an adventurous outdoor excursion, your honeymoon should reflect your personality as a couple.
