How to Create a Memorable Wedding eGuide
.Ingredients
19 essential ingredients to ensure the wedding goes off without a hitch on the day.
The Engagement
The traditional means of releasing the news of an engagement is to place an announcement in the local or national newspaper.
Rings and jewellery
The rings you select now will be worn for the rest of your lives so think carefully about your investment.
Legal Matters
At least one month and one day, and not more than six months, before the wedding, you’ll need to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage form.
Wedding Ceremony
There are three main ways to marry: in a registry office with a court-appointed celebrant, a church wedding with a religious Minister or other church leader or a civil ceremony with a professional celebrant.
Wedding Reception
The first big decision to make is where to hold the reception. It will be one of the more costly aspects of your wedding budget, so it’s important to make the right decision.
Wedding Advisers and Caterers
If organising your own wedding does not appeal to you or you simply don’t have the time, you might consider hiring a professional wedding adviser.
Seating at the Reception
Visit your reception venue with your guest list and have a talk with the function manager.
Organising Drinks
Often, the groom’s parents will offer to pay for the drinks at the reception and the groom will be responsible for ensuring the drink requirements.
Decorating Your Day
You have now selected your wedding and reception venue, so now you need to organise your decorations.
Photography and Videography
Photography is considered a very important aspect of most couples’ weddings. Choosing the right photographer is vital, as he or she will be capturing the memories you will keep for a lifetime.
Wedding Cakes
Traditionally, there were two cakes, a highly decorated white cake for the bride and a dark fruit cake for the groom.
Flowers
Flowers are important in creating the perfect wedding.
Transportation
Transport can be as simple as decorating the best cars you, your friends and family have to offer, or a fleet of vintage cars…and more.
Music and Entertainment
No wedding reception is complete without entertainment and there are many options available.
Dress Code
Every bride knows her wedding is all about the dress, so start shopping at least six months before the wedding.
Stationery
There are so many amazing, creative stationery options now available.
Duties and Role of Attendants
Choose level-headed, responsible persons for these roles.
Looking Your Best
A beautiful bride is a healthy bride: radiant, glowing, happy and relaxed. This is not something you can achieve the night before the wedding!
On the Day
The ushers should be the first to arrive at the church to direct guests to their seats and distribute the order of service cards.
