Planning ahead is crucial to ensure the smooth running of your wedding day although many newly engaged couples are unsure where to start, or what to plan first. We have put together some of our top tips below to help give you some guidance on what to think about and when to plan it.
The key to ensuring your dream wedding is a reality is to plan ahead and have a schedule for the day to include timings such as what time the bride should arrive at the venue, what time the wedding breakfast starts, what time the first dance will be etc. This will depend on the style of wedding that you choose to have. If you decide to have a celebrant led wedding this will allow you to have more flexibility within your day as you won’t be as limited to strict timings for the ceremony.
The average wedding takes around 12-18 months to plan so this gives you some guidance on when to look at your wedding date with venues. You can of course get married sooner than this and it will depend on what you’d like at your wedding and how extravagant you want it to be. It’s a good idea to create your own timeline or checklist of things to do, so that you can tick each one off when they are complete. This will also ensure that nothing is missed. Also when you are thinking about your timeline it’s good to have an idea of the time of year that you want to get married too.
