Planning a wedding involves making lots of decisions, and depending your wedding date, the process of planning can be hectic to say the least. This is why you need all the help you can get in terms of ideas and activities that will help you plan your wedding with ease.
1. Always Involve Your Partner In Planning
Your partner is plays a huge part in planning your wedding. When you cooperate with each other in the wedding plans, you may be pleasantly surprised by the creative ideas that you can come up with together. You may not always agree on everything, but do agree to disagree and find solutions that please the both of you.
2. Decide On The Guest List Before Anything Else
The number of people attending your wedding affects almost every aspect of wedding planning, from the venue, to the budget, the menu, and everything else in between. Sit down with your partner and decide carefully who gets to come to your wedding, and then make the other decisions around the guest list.
3. Choose A Location For Your Wedding
Whether your wedding will be indoors or outdoors, the venue you select should comfortably fit all your guests and provide amenities such as a kids’ section, bathrooms and care for the elderly guests. Also check whether there will be room for you and your partner to have some private moments together at the venue. Choose a location that will be accessible for your guests, meaning that they do not have to travel far to get to your wedding.
4. Choose A Theme For Your Wedding
This is where all the creativity comes in, and you can have the wedding of your dreams. The theme of your wedding can range from the seasons- summer wedding, winter wedding, fall wedding or spring wedding. You could also have a Victorian wedding or a beach wedding. Themes are abundantly available for you to choose from, and you can even combine two themes into one. Only make sure that your theme is practical enough and will be appreciated by your guests as well.
5. Create A Realistic Budget For Your Wedding
How much you spend on your wedding can make or break the planning process. Many disagreements arise from this, especially if one partner has more costly ideas for the wedding than the other. Always be realistic, and save as much money as you can because to be honest, your wedding day is only one out of your whole lives together, and you do not want to start your marriage when you are broke. Thinking long term usually helps in making the wedding budget.
6. Hire A Wedding Planner For Efficiency
When all the above aspects of planning a wedding are agreed upon, you can now look for the best wedding planner to take over. Do not let the planner, even with their expertise on weddings, to make major decisions for you. You can of course leave room for adjustments, but your planner should be able to make your guest list, budget, venue and other parts of your wedding work together.
These are the main steps to planning a wedding successfully, so consider them when planning your big day.

Popular florists are often booked up to a year in advance, so don’t delay your search. Begin researching by checking with recently married friends for their recommendations. You might also want to ask around at reception venues for names of florists the staff has worked with who might suit your tastes.
2) ASK THE FLORIST! Once you have contenders, narrow your list by posing some questions. Has she worked at your location before? Which flowers will be in season? What does she suggest for your style and budget? The answers will help you make your decision.
3) DISCUSS YOUR IDEAS!
When you’ve hired a florist, show her magazine picture you’ve collected of arrangements you like and those you don’t, and discuss options. Give her a photo of your dress, as your gown can establish the tone for the event. Also provide swatches from your ‘maids’ dresses, so the bouquets will complement them.
4) CONSIDER COSTS!
Be honest about your budget. Your florist should be able to provide floral options within your financial limits that won’t compromise your style.
5) READ THE FINE PRINT!
Your contract should include itemized costs for flowers, plus acceptable substitutes in case the ones you want aren’t available for any reason. It should also specify when and where the flowers will arrive and who will set them up.

The rehearsal meal shouldn’t be about whose obligation it is to be the host (it’s usually the groom’s parents) but how much fun everyone is having.
Who, When, Why, What
WHO
Everyone who is participating in the service will be invited to participate in the fun.
-the bridal couple
-all attendants
-singer or musician performing at the service
-anyone giving a reading at the service
-parents of children in the wedding party
-guests who have travelled from afar to attend the wedding
WHAT
It’s a relaxed party. Why not make it a beer and jeans party? Wine and fondue? Punch and buffet?
There will be lots of laughter, starting at the rehearsal, as everyone practices walking down the aisle and jockeying into place.
The fun will continue at dinner. Include some raucous and naughty toasts.
WHERE
Have it anywhere you like. A BBQ in the back yard. A diner. A country club. A picnic in the park. Or even a picnic in the home, with checked tablecloths, potato salad, slaw, hot dogs and burgers.
WHEN
It’s almost always the evening (or afternoon) before the wedding to allow out-of-towners to be on hand. This is ideal. If, however, the clergy or site can’t fit you in, it may be two days before the wedding, but usually not any earlier.
WHY
The custom of having a rehearsal, followed by a party, is a long tradition that makes good sense. It brings everyone together, perhaps for the first time, so the duties of each for the following day can be reviewed. More importantly, it sets a spirit of comradeship that will jump-start the wedding day.
