Set a Date
First things first: when are you guys planning on throwing this party?! Choosing the perfect wedding date is a crucial first step, but you’ll need to consider a few different variables to ensure your chosen date works for you, your budget and your vision.
For example – do you want to enjoy a long, leisurely engagement, or are you ready to tie the knot ASAP? Do you have savings you can utilise, or will you need a year or more to budget for the day? Are you dreaming of a romantic winter wedding, or a beachfront cocktail party? Do you have any significant anniversaries or lucky numbers you want your wedding to coincide with?
Think About Your Wedding Vision
Now for the fun part! It’s time to start envisaging your dream day and creating a rough “theme” or concept that reflects this.
So where to begin? Well, your wedding vision should ultimately be centred around your top priorities for the day and the details that mean the most to you both. This will not only ensure your celebration feels totally personal and authentic, but will also help you allocate your time and budget accordingly.
