Arranging your wedding in time

Once the date and venue are all booked, you need to decide on a wedding reception venue. This involves a lot of research and many days spent visiting the possibilities to see what they can offer you.

It is important to decide what you want from your wedding reception venue. Write down a wish list and as you visit each venue, see if it can provide all of the things you wrote down. Make sure you request a written quote from each venue so that you and your partner can take them all home and discuss them at length.
Some venues will have their own wedding planner who can give you a helping hand with this decision.

The flowers are another important factor to consider fairly early on in the preparations. Sometimes, the flowers can decide the colour scheme for the entire day, so it important to invest enough time in this decision to ensure that you get it right. Visit plenty of florists and ask for their advice on colours and types of flowers.

Now you are ready to start thinking about your wedding invitations and your wedding evening invitations. For this part of the planning, lists are the key. Make a list of who you want at your ceremony and who you would like at the evening reception. Then you are all set to get busy with the biro and start sending out those invitations.
