So you have said "I will ", now comes the fun (and it should be fun) of planning one of the most important days of your life.
Here we have tried to compile some useful information to help get you started.There are so many things to consider when you are arranging a wedding, whether you are considering a traditional wedding with all the trimmings or a quiet small informal gathering. It is important therefore that you start your research and gather resources to help you get organised, so when your wedding day arrives all you have to do is relax and enjoy!
So where do you start?
First of all you need to decide what type of wedding you are going to have, traditional, registry, small, large, formal or informal. What is your budget; are you paying for everything yourself or are your parents? We have compiled a budget planner to give you an idea of what you will need to include and also to help you keep a track of costs.
Budget! it is a good idea to discuss this right at the very beginning. By working this out, and the hard part, sticking to your budget, you will prevent running out of cash, at the last minute. If you have extra money arrive before the event it is easy to upgrade. Break down every section of your schedule and put a price on it. (you can print out the budget planner to help you focus).
When shopping for wedding vendors be sure you find one that suits your style and budget. Do not make any hasty decisions. A quick and easy way to gauge whether or not you are dealing with a reliable and honest wedding supplier is that reputable vendors seldom ask for a commitment or deposit at the first consultation, however, bad ones will almost certainly always try to get you to commit straight away (because if you shop around, you would probably not chose them). Do not feel pressured to leave a deposit immediately. If you go back the next day and pay them cash, you can guarantee they won't turn you away
