The success of your celebration depends on how you live the preparatory period for your celebration. Yes, yes, it is «you will live», because preparation for the main event becomes not the second profession of the bride, but a lifestyle! Life is fascinating, and at the same time troublesome. We hasten to calm down! If you plan everything carefully, the result will justify all the efforts made and the question "How to organize a wedding?" will not cause much trouble!
1. First, you should decide on the wedding date. It will set the entire preparation vector. The workload of registry offices, the availability of free banquet halls and spaces for the celebration, the open dates of the best photographers, leading - in short, those professionals and organizations that will work at your holiday will depend on this date. The day of celebration will also affect how better organize a wedding. Festive events even at the same time of the year, for example, early and late spring, differ in the saturation of the program, the choice of outfits (in March it is better to take a cape for a comfortable stay outside, but in the summer you should be puzzled by the purchase of a vest for the groom to replace the jacket or tuxedo) and playgrounds. More about them in the next paragraph.
2. The venue for the wedding should be selected based on the preferences of the newlyweds six months to a year before the wedding. If you overlook this point at the beginning of the preparation, there is a risk of being left with less profitable offers. For a youth party a great option will be loft space, for «classics» you can safely stay at chic hotel with a banquet hall, and for a summer celebration, space by the water is suitable. When choosing a restaurant, pay attention to the level of its service, carefully read the terms of the contract, learn about the comfortable capacity of the premises, the availability of your own parking before organizing a wedding in a place you like at first glance.
3. Think over the decor of the room. Decorating a wedding is a separate and significant item of expenditure for the celebration. There are spaces where you can't do without decoration, other sites, on the contrary, do not need an abundance of floral arrangements, representing self-sufficient interiors in the rococo-baroque style. Are you planning to erect structures and drape with fabrics? Chearn this possibility with the administration. If there is no such one, warn your decorator about it before you start preparing the sketch. If you agree on decorating for some reason it does not work (for example, estates bearing the status of historical monuments rarely go to place suspended from the ceiling and walls elements decor in their ceremonial halls), it is not worth it, in the chasuit of the status of the site, still to arrange a a ceremony on it as. It is better to organize a wedding on a more «compliant» site, or to clarify the presence of a tent, where you and the designer can turn around and not to abandon the idea of the dream.
4. The choice of a photographer should be approached with all responsibility. Good professionals are disassembled like hot cakes at the very beginning of the preparation of the celebration. The sooner you find «your» photographer, the better. The main tip: decide what photos you need. There are three directions in wedding photography:
- fine-art – beautiful «sunset» pictures of the couple (usually staged);
- story-telling - photos that capture individual moments of the wedding or the bride's gathering, which can tell about the character of the characters of the picture a little more than ordinary photos. I want to look at them again and again, discovering new details, people's emotions, their mood.
- reportage style is very common among newlyweds. This is a shooting of the whole day. There may be a certain «staging» in the reportage shooting, but in most cases the emphasis is on the emotions and actions of the main characters.
Have you chosen the style of photos? It's time to move on to the study of the portfolio of professionals! A useful life hack on an important point, how to better organize a wedding, or rather, not to miss with a photographer. Determine 3-4 favorites for yourself, make an appointment with them. During the conversation, pay attention to who you are more comfortable communicating with, which of them is on your «wave», talk about the conditions. In the autumn-winter period and on weekdays you can achieve significant discounts!
5. Choose transport. Often young people refuse long-wheelbase limousines, preferring other modes of transport. These can be buses, «Mini Coopers» and «Smarts», carriages, yachts. The imagination of young people is limited only to the budget for this line of expenditure. However, no one canceled the classic scenario: why not come to your own wedding in a chic comfortable car? Preparation for the meeting with the rental representative consists in drawing up a number of questions about the conditions and delivery, replacing the car (in case of force majeure), drawing up a route, playlist and the opportunity to consume light snacks and drinks during the trip.
6. The most important point for the bride in all the preparation for the wedding is the selection and purchase of a wedding dress. You should not buy it in advance, especially if you have not yet decided on the concept of the celebration - there is a risk of not getting into the style of the holiday and making a mistake with the size, which may change a month before the main day. But what you need to do is to choose a suitable style in the salon: «mermaid», lush, «empire», short, «A-silhouette», and then visit several boutiques of the city in search of the perfect outfit. It is best to store the coveted purchase in the store. So you will probably keep its presentation. In addition, on the eve of the event itself, you will receive a steamed outfit, which will save precious time.
7. Groom costume it is logical to buy after buying a bride's dress. The choice can be made in favor of a classic tuxedo or jacket. It's better to give up pretentious tailcoats on this day! And no matter how great the desire to control EVERYTHING, even the color of the suit matches the shade of your eyes, still entrust this the issue to the beloved - he really knows how best. Organizing a wedding is not an easy task, and the selection of a costume «from a needle» is no exception, but we have been taught since childhood that mutual trust can work miracles!
8. Don't forget about memorable moments. Guest seating plan, invitations, gift lists (after all, we do not want to get a third set of pots, and if we do, we put it in the wish list) it is convenient to plan online. In this case, you do not have to call all the guests the day before and explain the address and dress code to everyone. In short, this is the most advanced (and interesting!) A way to organize a wedding. Well, most importantly, create your wedding website by placing memorable photos and videos on it. How nice it will be to review them together with children after decades and relive those trembling feelings! And don't forget about the rings!
Preparation for the wedding is a responsible process, but with a reasonable approach, this time can be turned into happy troubles! And then your wedding will be unforgettable!
