Couples desiring the dreamiest wedding start with the two essential things: where and when. Not everything will fall in place even if you have sorted the date and venue. A unique wedding requires careful preparation.
The first thing to do is to know your vision. This will help you stay on track and turn the wedding of your dreams into real life. Make your mood board before you seek help from your friends, professional wedding organizers, or coordinators.
Details to Build Your Vision
Every detail should speak and mean something to you for this once-in-a-lifetime event. These must be close to your heart. Here are some suggestions to consider in your checklist to make your wedding truly personal.
Precious Heirlooms
It is a privilege to honor family history and traditions before moving on to the next chapter of your life. Heirlooms can be jewelry from your grandma, the garter your mom wore, or even the cake knife your parents used.
These are always significant and distinct to every family. Use them as is, or think of ways to make them more interesting.
A Unique Theme
Choosing a theme can make your event elegant because design elements will be cohesive. A motif and theme set the state of mind, whether you like it strictly black tie, rustic and relaxed, or fun and informal. Ideas for themes can be very personal by including elements that reflect your pastimes and interests. Visit online galleries for more information on what you can add to your mood board.
Your Favorite Flowers and Foliage
No wedding ceremony is complete without flowers and foliage. One tip for every couple: know what flowers are in season to guarantee availability. To those thinking about how to save, choose locally available flowers. Ask your florist about these when you start building a mood board.
Detailed Decorations
Search online for design concepts. Customize your wedding with elements such as marquee letters, flower walls, neon lights, or lighting that can set the mood. Ensure that your decors make the mood and reflect your character. Decors can be minimalist and simple, romantic and classy, or suggest partying into the wee hours.
Meaningful Music
Make a list of the songs you love to include in the playlist. These may be the songs you first danced to or what was playing in the background when you first met.
You can hire musicians and bands for a classic touch. If you prefer to go dancing after the formalities, get a DJ that can play your songs and keep the people on the dance floor. If you want a party-ready dance floor, why not search online for “wedding vinyl floor“?
Timeless Photos
Picking the right photographer does not only mean getting someone to point and shoot. Every photographer processes photos differently– the final edit and layout matter. Look at online galleries of different photographers in your area. Your memories in print should be as beautiful as the big day itself.
Another fun way to record your wedding is a photo booth for your guests. You might not be able to entertain everyone during the wedding; however, photo booths are a great way to see how much your guests are having a great time.
The Takeaway
Create a wedding checklist that begins with conceptualization. Work on the big ones: the wedding and reception location, the guest list, and the theme. Include the tiny details into the big ones because these will make your big day truly one-of-a-kind.
