Planning a wedding, whether it’s your own or a loved one’s, is exhilarating. And while it’s easy to splurge in your excitement, you need to keep your bank balance in mind.
Whether you’re planning on something grand or choosing to keep the wedding low-key, there are some aspects of your wedding that you just have to get right! Keeping these in mind will make your wedding unforgettable, making it the most special day ever for the happy couple.
1. Pick a Beautiful Venue
A unique venue can work wonders for your wedding. If you get it right, the wedding will reflect your personality as a couple, and your guests will be able to have a great time.
Getting the venue right also gives you a chance to save money that would otherwise be spent on excessive décor to get the venue to where it needs to be.
2. Let Your Aisle Make a Statement
The bride walking down the aisle is by far the most special moment of any wedding. So make sure the aisle is decorated beautifully—it will be a part of most of the photographs! It doesn’t have to be overdone, but the right articles, such as candles or flower bunches, can make a huge difference.
3. Make Your Décor Pop
Make sure your reception décor goes with the venue and the theme—this can make or break the event.
4. Hire Professional Wedding Photographers
Do not skimp on a wedding photographer to save money. They’re responsible for turning your wedding into an everlasting experience by capturing beautiful moments. That’s not something you want to compromise on!
5. Have Some Entertainment
A wedding is not a reunion; not everyone will be interested in talking and catching up with each other—some guests are there to have fun.
One surefire way of keeping everyone interested is by arranging for some entertainment during the reception. You could go for a music troupe or tasteful ambient music—the choice is yours.
6. Get the Seating Right
Your venue will dictate the kind of seating you can get. Having a long table that everyone can sit around is a great idea if the venue allows it. This will keep your guests occupied with each other and will give you a chance to meet everyone comfortably.
7. Choose the Right Floral Arrangements
While floral arrangements are a must at weddings, they must complement the venue and décor to add to the ambiance. Ill-matched floral arrangements can end up looking tacky and out of place.
8. Serve Delicious Food
Over the years, people may forget what you wore or the vows you said at the wedding, but they will never forget the delicious food you served. It’s a vital part of your wedding, so make sure to go to a few food tastings to design the perfect meal for your guests.
Moreover, everyone likes having multiple dessert options to choose from; so get a small cake and arrange for a dessert bar—your guests will be fully satisfied!
