Date. Before you think about anything else, you should first think about the date of your wedding. This is to make sure that you have enough time for the preparations. If you are going to have a big wedding party, you need several months to prepare for it. But if it is just a small celebration, a few months of planning will do. Have an alternative date in case the wedding will not push through on the original date.
Budget. This is also important because wedding preparations usually revolve around the budget. Do not plan an extravagant and a grand wedding celebration if your budget only permits you to have a simple wedding. Besides, simple weddings are also great. You will just have to make wise decisions.
Venue. Another important thing is the place where you will hold your wedding reception and also the ceremony. Do you want a traditional church wedding, a garden wedding, or a beach wedding? Do you want to hold the reception indoors or outdoors? In deciding the venue, you have to consider the season and the weather. You also have to think about the distance. Do not choose something that is very remote and difficult to find. Your guests will be late if they will have a hard time finding the place of your wedding.
Decorations, Music, Food, Clothes, and Invitations. These things all depend on your theme. For example, if your theme is Hawaiian, you can choose beach-themed decorations, Hawaiian or beach music, tropical foods, a bridal gown with tropical flowers, or Hawaiian invitations. The invitations should be sent out weeks before the wedding so that your guests can cancel appointments if they need to.
It is actually fun to prepare for weddings. As long as you know the things that need to be done, your wedding will be great.
