Are you just engaged and confused about what to do next? To reduce stress,
follow our step-by-step wedding planning guide. We’re only discussing the must-dos. Read on below to plan your dream wedding:
Budget For Wedding
Setting your wedding budget initially is crucial. It’s not the most exciting part of wedding planning, but it’s the first step and sets everything else in action. You don’t want to fall in love with a location, vendor, clothing, etc. then discover it’s too expensive. Sit with your family or other possible contributors to set a budget, then divide it by vendor or service.
Be Inspired
Inspiration is a fun element of wedding planning. Consider your wedding style. Do you want an ultra-formal look? A more casual, rustic wedding? Instagram, Pinterest, and the current wedding trends may help you decide on wedding colours, décor, and more. After choosing a place and date, start this procedure early but accelerate it.
Invite Guests
When planning a wedding step-by-step, an approximate guest count is crucial. Venue possibilities differ for 50-person and 300-person weddings. Before looking at wedding locations, estimate your guest list.
Wedding Party Selection
After choosing your guests, choose your wedding party. So choose your bridesmaids, groomsmen, or any bridal party members and ask them to play this vital duty. You can ask for ideas or search online and get the party started.
Decide Where
You may reserve a wedding venue, one of the most crucial steps in how to organise a wedding guide, now you’ve got a budget, an anticipated guest list, and a few possible dates. Visit local wedding venues, read reviews, and communicate with your fiancé to choose the perfect setting. You can check out a boutique wedding event venue for your big day. After reading and signing your event and reception venue’s contract, you’ve picked a wedding date—and the fun begins!
Find Vendors
The average couple employs 13 vendors for their dream wedding. It seems like a bunch, but hiring the proper individuals ensures a flawless wedding day. Follow this vendor hiring timeline to hire your wedding photographer, videographer, florist, DJ, and officiant, and study online reviews to choose the best.
Complete Guest List
Make your finalised wedding guest list now. If your parents can pay for your wedding, they can choose the guests. Do not call more people than your venue can hold. You shouldn’t risk visitor regrets.
Send Save-the-Dates
Your guests need to schedule! Send save-the-dates early so the family can plan.
Buy Your Bridal Gown And Accessories
Find your wedding attire early. Don’t wait too long to buy your wedding dress—it can take months to modify it.
Plan Rehearsal Dinner
The rehearsal dinner, held the previous evening, also involves planning. Traditionally, the groom’s family prepares the rehearsal meal, but it’s vital to find out who’s arranging (and paying) for it early on and secure a venue and finalise details approximately six months before the wedding.

Finally! Enjoy every moment—you, your spouse, your family, and your vendors worked hard to prepare a wedding! (Want a step-by-step wedding planner? Our wedding day guide covers you.
