Wedding Preparations – A Year To Go

You’ve got engaged, told your family and brought your first wedding magazine. So what should you do to start getting ready to get married? There are lots of things to think about from what time of year to who you should invite. Alongside this it is a great time to start looking for your wedding dress, don’t forget our amazing selection of 1950s short wedding dresses. With at least a year to go these are the top five things to think about.

Some couples have very set ideas from the start on how they want their wedding and where. If you are undecided then it’s time to start thinking about the details. Sit down and think of places that mean something to you both or the type of wedding you would like.  If there are certain people you want there then also consider them in relation to getting there.

Budget discussions should happen at this stage, work out how much you have to spend. List the important areas for a wedding, for some this is the day details and for others it could be the open bar and party. It’s different for everyone.

Do you want a big wedding or an intimate affair? There is lots of inspiration over on our blog of our real brides having both large or small weddings.  Write a list of the most important people who you want on the day and work outwards. This will help you establish the size of venue you need.

Make a list of venues that you would like to view depending on the size of your wedding party. Seeing as you’ve worked on your budget you know the amount you can spend on a venue and this will help when having discussions. Our real brides on the blog can give you an insight into what type of venue you should have and we also have lots of great supplier information there too.

Picking bridesmaids and grooms men is a big part of your wedding day and it impacts your budget too. There are lots of fun ways to ask those you love to be part of your day. Then you can start letting them know about all your exciting plans.
