The marriage registration documents have been submitted, and you can officially get married in a month. And why not? Maybe don't wait until next summer to become husband and wife, but do it already this season? Is it possible to organize one of the most important days in a couple's life in such a short period of time? With a well-thought-out plan, passion and commitment to creative solutions, anything is possible.

Of course, there will be areas where you have to adapt to the situation - the wedding photographers , celebration and wedding ceremony locations that you want may not be available, especially during the hottest wedding season. But that's exactly why openness and flexibility are useful, from the point of view that whatever is given is the best version for you.

Let's take a look at what are the most important wedding planning issues when planning a wedding within 30 days.

Week 1. Creating a plan and making big decisions

• The main decisions should be made in the first week, starting with choosing the wedding date and determining the budget, roughly dividing it into categories. To make it easier for you to book your desired wedding venue , you can find out which dates are available in your preferred locations before choosing a date, and base the rest on the available date. As soon as the date is set and the place of the celebration is reserved, it is time to immediately apply for service providers - wedding photographers , musicians , caterers, unless they are available at the place of celebration, decorators , hairdressers and make-up artists and other professionals.

• The smaller the number of guests at the wedding, the easier the organization. Also, if you are having a "last minute" wedding, there is a chance that not all of the invited guests will be able to attend because the time slot is already booked.
• In order for everything to move forward smoothly, divide the responsibilities - who is responsible for which area. This will also save time.

Week 2. Service providers, invitations and costumes

Attention should be paid to dresses this week - wedding salons offer such a rich range of wedding dresses that you will definitely find your dream dress in a very short period of time! The same with the groom - the suit should be bought ready-made and adjusting the length of the sleeves and trousers can be done without worry at this stage.

In the clothing store KOKOS you will find charming wedding dresses, from classic to modern, so that every bride can choose the most suitable and wide range of suits from classic and modern designs to tuxedos and tailcoats.

Wedding salon Amelii offers wedding dresses created in Latvia. The dresses are carefully handcrafted and are characterized by feminine coquetry, lightness and harmony of details.

• Create invitations - the fastest solution is digital invitations that you can design yourself, for example in the Canva app. Find out the number of confirmed guests as soon as possible - this will make the next steps of the wedding easier.

Week 3. Details of the wedding day program

The big questions of wedding planning have been solved – the venue is booked, guests are invited, wedding service providers are engaged and preparing for your wedding. The program of the day is thus also clear in broad strokes - what time is the ceremony, what time is the festive meal, what time is the first dance, treating with the wedding cake, the party, the photo session... Now you can sit down and think about the details - lessons for the guests while they are waiting for you when you return from the wedding photo session, a Spotify playlist for a pleasant atmosphere, games, gifts for moms, dads and guests. Yes, it sounds like a lot, but you know - the main issues have already been resolved, there will be a wedding!

Week 4. Final tasks

• Final straight! Final approvals with all service providers and making sure everything is going according to plan should be done this week. The wedding day program should be reviewed, making sure that all areas have been thought of and everything necessary has been provided. If you forgot something - accessories, napkins, umbrellas - it's the right time to take care of it.
• Make a list of all the things to take with you on the wedding day. Be sure to also prepare a emergency kit bag, i.e. things that can be useful in unexpected moments and basic necessities - plasters, phone chargers, painkillers, etc.

• Just as important as the work of organizing a wedding is rest, so that you feel great on the wedding day and can enjoy it in full force and presence. It's great if you manage to plan a couple or at least one full-fledged holiday before the wedding.
