The First 4 Things You Should Book for Your Wedding
Planning your wedding is of course one of the most exciting times of your life. However, we all know how stressful it can be as well!
With a million things in your head and a million more on your to-do list, sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is take a step back and focus on the basics. For a lot of women, looking at the mountain ahead of them stops them from even getting started which delays the whole process.
Instead, try to focus on only these five things first – and then the rest will start falling into place.
The Venue
Of course, you’ll need to have a venue and a date booked before you can start planning anything else, so this should be your first step.
Look online for some ideas surrounding the vibe and feeling you want from your wedding day, and then use your inspiration to start looking around for venues that align with your vision. Book a few viewings, think about your budget, and pick a date that feels realistic. Once the venue is booked then the rest of the magic can start happening!
The Florist
Your flowers will be one of the main focal points of your wedding, and many brides like to use their floral design as a base point for the rest of their décor, which is why this should be organized early on.
Chat with a florist as soon as you can about your vision, colour scheme ideas, bouquet designs, centrepieces and other floral arrangements. Try to get this arranged early to make sure your preferred florist is available for your wedding date and for the appointments leading up to the day. Working with an established and trusted business like Bronte’s Florals is the best way to ensure you’re happy with your flowers.
The Officiant
In order to get married, you’ll need somebody to do the marrying! Because this is such a crucial part of the day and of the legalities behind marriage, it’s important to get it sorted out soon.
You might choose a civil celebrant, a marriage officiant, or a religious officiant, or even a close friend or family member ordained for the event. You’ll need to discuss the details of what you want from your ceremony, and most professional officiants will also help you with your marriage license, registration, and other important legal factors.
The Photographer and Videographer
Last but definitely not least is a photographer. We all want the memories of our big and beautiful day to be captured forever, which is why your photographer and videographer will be crucial for your wedding.
Great wedding photographers are notorious for being booked up months and even years in advance, so if you have a few top picks, it’s a good idea to get in touch with them as soon as you have your wedding date pinned down. If you don’t have anyone in mind yet, start looking at portfolios!
