Sort the Dress Out

When it comes to the wedding day the most important thing has got to be the dress. A bride needs the right dress. And this is likely to be the one item that causes the most amounts of stress and worry. Because of this it makes sense for you to address (no pun intended) this as early as possible. Start browsing catalogues and wedding shops as soon as you get engaged. The quicker this is sorted, the better.

Get the Rings

You’re also going to need to sort out the rings. Wedding rings are a wonderful thing, they symbolise love and eternity. Now, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg on your wedding rings. In fact, you might even think about getting bespoke custom and estate jewelry for the big day. This may well work out cheaper than buying a ring direct from jewelers. And there’s the added touch that it injects some character and personality into the jewelry pieces.

Choose the Venue

Something you are going to need to sort out as soon as possible is choosing the venue involved. There are so many places to choose from. If you’re religious you’ll probably want a traditional church wedding. If you aren’t you may want to consider other options. Many beautiful venues these days offer wedding packages for reasonable rates. So go and speak to them about what you’d like. You might even wish to consult with a wedding planner.

Design the Invites

If you want to do something a bit less stressful you could design the invitations yourselves. This is something fun and exciting. It allows you to complete an important area of the wedding, but in a more fun way. You can really go to town and customise the invites to inject your own characters and personalities into them. This will also save you quite a bit of money from having to pay designers.

Look at the Seating Plan

One of the biggest pains, when you’re planning a wedding, is trying to figure out the seating plan. Who can sit with whom, and who you need to keep apart can be a source of frustration for hours. Getting the perfect seating plan is the goal of so many brides and grooms. Yet it seems to be so difficult to achieve. Sit down together and work out exactly who’s coming. Try to get an even balance on each table, while also maintaining diplomacy.

Write Speeches

You must remember that you’re going to need to give a speech at some point on your special day. So you’ll need to prepare for it, and that means thinking up and writing a speech. Then you need to practice and memorise it. It’s got to be the perfect sort of length. Too long and you’ll have people getting bored.

If you want your wedding to go down without a hitch you need to look at the points listed here. You’ve got to make sure everything is planned well in advance. This will help you relax and destress, but you’ll be safe in the knowledge that everything is going to get sorted.
