Planning to tie the knot?
Here are some ideas on wedding plans without the tailspin stress.
Before you even start planning, why not think about what is important to you both for your wedding day, so that relaxing yoga ommms don’t turn into an overwhelm of ermmms.
Instead, you’ll skip the indecisions for something of your own to get cracking on and really enjoy the whole creative experience of planning your wedding your own way with intention.
After a few laid-back chats with each other on your core wedding values, you’ll be free from snap decisions on the fly, cutting through the tra-la-blah traditional wedding packages and you’ll beable to start thinking with excitement about the wedding you both really want to create and one that stands for you.
As an alternative wedding venue, here are some of our tips to get your wedding planning super-hero capes on to fly up and beyond all the noise and concentrate on yourselves and your own ideas..and breathe…
No need to get lost down some Pinterest rabbit hole…
- Enjoy being newly engaged. Duh!…Please don’t let this time rush by without your nod of ‘wow this is really happening for us’. Enjoy this time for yourselves, be thankful and enjoy the idea of getting wed along with all that this will mean for both of you, your family and friends.
- Set your budget. Talk full-on about money. Decide what you can or want to spend your hard-earned moolah on. Call the shots and don’t think that wedding packages = deals, they generally don’t. Do some research and discover what kind of reasonable bang you get for your buck in wedding land. Get the teamwork spirit going between you to create the wedding you want with the budget you have.
- Look around and visit venues that match your values, style and budget. Look at the venues that will work with your ideas and what is important to you both. Walk around and get a feel for the place…you may even start to feel a ‘Yes!” coming on.
- So at this point it may feel a bit serious with all this decision making and money talk. Time to have fun again, appreciate it all and enjoy the whole process that you are in together with love and humour.
- Search out your season, style and inspiration. Think about special dates for your wedding and what would suit you.
- Decide on the number of wedding guests and choose the the guests that you want to help you on whatever you want for your wedding.
- Time to really home in on your venue. Now that you are decided on: your values, the date, numbers and budget along with season, style and vibe you want…choosing your venue will be so much easier.
. - Book your chosen local creative wedding suppliers who can start preparing for your wedding day. Your venue will help you with this too if you like.
. - Get together your hopes for the day in order and timeline. It doesn’t have to be strict time-keeping, but just plan for the flow and order of things you would like.
- Enjoy the time you have after all your plans are in the bag. You’re ready. Now is the time to let go – the venue, suppliers and others in the mix will have your back on the day – so go ahead, relax and cherish your awesome wedding planning memories.
Ommmmmmmmm…
