Weddings are a huge commitment and it takes good planning to make it memorable not just for
the bride and groom but for everyone who attends the wedding. As Tessa Lyn Brand the famous
creative visionary of Tessa Lyn Events says,“ By breaking down the year month by month,
you are taking on the planning process in bite-size pieces and it will be far less
overwhelming,” “You can enjoy each step.”

If you are planning to get married, let’s take the liberty to help you with planning your
dream wedding. Every couple needs some time between engagement and wedding to plan
the wedding. Let’s assume you have a year to plan before your wedding even though every
couple has a different time window. If you have a smaller time window it’s wiser to
compress the checklist without missing out on any important element.
Assuming that we are planning a year in advance, let’s proceed with a deep breath and a
glass of your favorite beverage.

Budget: Budget is the show stopper of any event. The bride and
groom or if the families are involved must be all on the same page. Communication should be
extremely easy when it comes to budget planning. Every possible expense should be
discussed and sorted to minimize any friction.

Market research: A little research hurts none. The bride and groom should discuss their
tastes and choices for their special day especially when it comes to food and beverages. Try
to get different ideas along with the prices for better planning and execution.

Guest List: We all want to invite our family and friends to celebrate our special day. Hence
it’s extremely important to carefully carve out the list so that we do not miss out on our long
lost friend keeping budgets in our mind.

Venue: Once you are settled with ‘who’ you want to get married, the next question is ‘where’
do you want to get married. You have to choose a venue that goes well along with your taste
and budget. Honestly, a good venue with good decor makes everything look just perfect.
Okay, that was a lot of work and you have another six months before your wedding. Let’s
help you with some pointers.

Photographers: You want your best moments to be captured in the best possible way. Hire a
good photographer preferably a local person so that he or she doesn’t run late on your d day.

Dress: We all want to look good on our special day, hence make sure you have done your
research about your wedding and reception outfits keeping the theme, decor, and the
weather in mind.

Honeymoon: Choose a destination if you are planning to fly right after your wedding.
Discuss with your partner about your choices and budget and make the necessary
arrangements to avoid any last-minute hassle.

The cake flavor has been decided, the parlor appointments are made, the dresses are ready,
the flowers have been ordered, the guests have received their invitations and you are two
weeks shy of your wedding. Relax, you have worked enough to plan everything. Now is the
time to enjoy the excitement. Ensure you get enough rest and cherish every
moment before you walk down the aisle. The feeling is truly magical.
