Where to start with planning your wedding can be daunting. Here are 6 important details to hammer out that will help pave the path into deeper planning:
- Pick a date: This may be determined based on the venue availability. However, if you select a date further out you will more likely have a wider variety of venue options.
- Higher your wedding planner: Wedding planners can alleviate a lot of the stress that comes along with planning and they are also usually very insightful into the details you may not consider. Coastside Weddings and Events is a very knowledgeable choice for brides getting hitched on the Central Coast of California.
- Set a budget: Whether you have a large or small monetary amount to work with, this will help you stay realistic with your planning. It will help guide the venue selection, cuisine choices, guest count, décor and so much more that goes into planning for your ceremony and reception.
- Select a venue: Choosing a date prior to your venue selection will narrow down your choices. But if you choose to move this action item up on your list above the date selection it may give you more to choose from. Guest count can also play a large factor into where you decide to get married.
- Create a guest list: Once you have a venue selected and a budget set it will give you a better idea of how many special people in your life can actually attend your wedding day.
- Select your wedding party: This can sometimes be a hard task for both the bride and the groom. Do you include family, because they are family? Do you include a close friend that you rarely talk to? Questions like this may arise. Consider what is most important to you. The biggest factor is having folks stand by your side that support the relationship of you and your soon-to-be spouse.
Wedding planning should be fun. If it seems like to much of a stressful task, consider spending a little extra for that wedding planner, or even an elopement. Marriage is about the commitment promised between you and your spouse to one another. Keep that top of mind and it will help keep you grounded through the process.
