You only have one opportunity to get married, so you may as well make the most of it! While nearly all weddings are fun and enjoyable, there are some that seem to stand out from the crowd a little more than most. When it comes to your big day, it’s all about putting together an event that fulfills your childhood dreams and wishes, and which also your friend and family love, too. So how exactly do you put together your dream wedding? We take a look at a few tried and tested methods below.
Start Early
If you’re going to do something properly, then you need time to make sure you can get all the details correct. Sometimes, people try to rush through the planning stage of their wedding because they want to get married before a set date, but it’s nearly always better to take your time. The more time you have, the more you’ll be able to let your ideas develop. When you’re in a rush, there’s also a chance that you’ll have to settle for your second or third choice venue/DJ/caterers and so on. It’ll require a little bit of patience, sure, it’ll all be worth it in the end.
Involve Friends and Family
This is you and your partner’s big day, but only on one level. It’s also about your friends and family; they, after all, are the people who will make your big day one to remember. During the development stage, look at including your friends and family. Happiness, after all, is only real when shared! As well as helping you to enjoy the long journey towards your big day, it’ll also help to keep the stress at bay. It’s hard to get all worked up when you’re laughing and smiling with your friends and family.
A Knockout Venue
There are a few things that can really make or break a wedding. Right at the top of the list is the venue; this, after all, will help to set the tone from the first moment that your guests arrive. And let’s not forget that it’ll also provide the backdrop for all of your photographs, too. So don’t take an ‘anywhere will do’ approach; look at booking a stunning venue, such as The Bowery KC. The aim is to get married in a space that makes it feel like you’re walking through the fairytale version of your big day. After all, the venue isn’t just the physical space where you get married; it actively contributes towards creating a loving and memorable atmosphere.
The Perfect Guestlist
A wedding is nothing without the guests! Without them, it’d just be you and your partner. As such, it’s important that you take the time to put together the perfect guest list, one that will ensure that the whole wedding is filled with love and good vibes. One mistake people make when it comes to their guestlist is that they invite too many people that they think they ‘should’ invite, rather than just people they want to invite. You’ll likely find that there are at least one or two people that you have to invite (for family reasons etc.), but you should probably avoid inviting everyone in the office. Ultimately, it’s about inviting people with whom you feel comfortable and who you know will have nothing but positive energy when they’re there.
Doing Your Own Thing
As we said, all weddings can be pretty special. But not every wedding would be your dream! So when it comes to planning your big day, be sure to make decisions by thinking about what you’d really want to have as part of your wedding. There are only a handful of rules when it comes to weddings; the rest is up to you. You don’t need to do something (or not do something) because it’s not the normal thing that people do on their wedding day. You’re the one getting married, nobody else. You’ll feel much happier with your wedding day if you know that the whole scene has your touch. Create the day in your image, basically!
All Night Party
Finally, be sure to go all out when it comes to the party. This is the part of the day that everyone will remember the most. What could be more fun than spending many hours dancing and having fun with your loved ones? Wherever you get married, be sure that you can party until the early hours — if you’ve planned it well, you won’t want the day to end.
