First things first! here are some of the things you might need to think about. Fortunately all the services you need for your Special Day can be found listed on the following pages.
Set the date for the wedding, and start discussing the kind of wedding you would like with your fiancée. A good idea would be to think back to all the weddings you've been to and determine what you've liked and disliked. Once you've decided on the style and setting that best suit you, you must start looking for a suitable venue. These can get fully booked up to 18 months in advance. Avoid disappointment.
At this stage a budget meeting should be arranged whether you will be paying for the wedding yourselves, or arrange it with the help of parents. It might be a good idea to contact the preferred suppliers on this website and get a few quotations for florists, photography, musicians, etc. before such a meeting. In this way you will have a better idea of the going rates, and will hopefully be able to set up a realistic budget.
Knowing what you can afford, you can now start setting up meetings the various wedding suppliers, and use this site to take care of the arrangements yourself - it is part of the excitement after all! Be your own “Wedding Planner”.
Make appointments with various dressmakers, and try on different styles, and colours. Give attention to the advice from experts. Beware that the cost of your dream dress does not exceed the cost of the entire reception.
Interview florists, bakers, photographers, videographers, musicians and/or discos, and sign contracts with these vendors well in advance - once again to avoid disappointment. It is always comforting to know that the specialists you choose come with good referrals from satisfied friends or relatives.
