Every bride dreams of having a special wedding celebration, it’s the definition of special that may vary from bride to bride. The big challenge for me was; what was my personal wedding style? I had little other wedding planning ideas past these, but these I was sure of.
1. Tear Sheets
Congrats! Now run immediately to your favorite newsstand and buy every bridal magazine! WAIT! I suggest buying two bridal mags to get a read on what the trends are in the wedding industry. Are brides going for traditional gowns? Scour the two magazines you choose for whatever peeks your interest and then tear, tear, tear! Tear out the pictures and advice that speak to you and along with the pages that you favored from the bridal mags and lifestyle publications begin a wedding production binder.
2. Book your locations
While you are mulling the images and ideas over and over in your mind, begin making appointments with ceremony and reception locations. Is the décor shabby-chic just like your favorite catalogue?
Not many wedding planners would likely group together two such major event aspects like stationary and wardrobe, but for style purposes – they work well together. Keep in mind that both areas will complement the style of your wedding but are typically considered separate areas of the event. For one, the invitation and dress set the tone of the event. By choosing the best wedding stationary and wedding gown, you can bring together all of the aspects of your wedding style that you have selected. If your décor is a sleek and modern white wedding staged outside under a tent of glowing Chinese lanterns, your perfect invitation, menu and escort card could be printed on delicate rice paper featuring the Chinese ideogram for love. Pulling off your wedding style is as simple as minding your details and keeping in mind that every decision is an opportunity to make a statement.
4. Food, Drink, Tunes & Favors
The final details to incorporate into your fabulous event are the guest’s favorite! Your dress is a simple silk bias cut sheath, with a gorgeous cowl neck accented with a designer flat thong. As your loved ones depart they can take with them his and hers flip flops in the colors of your wedding, wrapped in a beach towel monogrammed with your wedding date and a message of thanks! Sure, the websites and magazine might suggest favors for a wedding being hosted at a country club, but those favors wouldn’t incorporate the feel of your event. Shells and candles are easily obtainable at craft stores such as Michaels. Another cute centerpiece idea for a beach wedding is a aluminum sand pail with shovels filled to the brim with garden roses according to your colors. I hope my approach to wedding planning has given you a decent jumping off point. There are a few more areas to tackle, like wedding party plans and transportation.
