Tips to Consider

Set the date of your wedding. To be able to organize it properly, without feeling under pressure and being able to book your first choices in the church and reception venue,  it is advisable to start a year earlier. If again your time margins are limited, choose days like Friday and avoid Saturdays that are very likely to be booked already. Also, do not forget to consider your holidays and celebrations that can cause problems with your guests.

Determine your budget. Before you even start looking at wedding reception venues, wedding and catering, specify about how many guests you will have and how much you can spend. Having in mind a cost, you will be able to be clearer on what you ask for, and communicate only with those who really interest you and are within your price and cost limits.

You also need to decide on who pays what. Nowadays, the most common is that the wedding expenses are undertaken by the couple and not the parents. Usually each side of the couple pays their own guests, so that no misunderstandings occur, if for example the groom has a large family and wants to invite them all, while the bride wants to invite only the very close to her family and friends. It is best to check this with your significant other at the beginning, so as to avoid potential problems later on.

Choose the wedding venue and reception. You may have in mind the ideal wedding on an island but eventually you realize that it is not for you, or that it requires much more time to organize than you actually have. Start looking for various venues and churches to get a complete picture of what there is available and get the best possible settlement for you. 

Working with a Wedding Planner

If on the other hand, you feel that you do not have enough time to organize your wedding, or you cannot really get the other people to help you as you want, you can try to find experienced and professional wedding organizers who can undertake the entire wedding planning and relieve you of all the pressure and potential problems. Keep in mind that not all event organizers are expensive, but if you try to find good ones, you will definitely need to pay some extra money. However, what you will be getting as a result is your peace of mind and a better organized wedding; in this case you might be actually able to enjoy the preparation yourself, as you will need to consider only things related to your beauty, your wedding gown and the your honeymoon trip. 

One of the most important aspects in organizing a wedding is staying within your budget, or at least close to it. If you start planning early, you will be able to save both your money and your calmness.
