Wedding planning is and will be relevant as long as there are couples to get married. Regardless of whether the wedding is big or small, planning will be necessary. Especially if a wedding organizer or other responsible person is not involved in the wedding. Dear brides, to make it easier for you, let's once again go through what must be remembered in the wedding planning process point by point.

12 months +

Let's be honest - wedding planning takes a lot of time. Therefore, there are many brides who have already started planning their 2018 summer wedding. If you want to do everything in as much peace as possible, then you will have to set aside a year for wedding planning. Once you have properly celebrated your engagement (with or without a party - it's up to you), you can start focusing on wedding planning. A year in advance, the main planning tasks are to understand your wedding style and theme, what your wedding colors might be, and how big your wedding budget will be. Also, a year in advance you can safely search for and reserve the place where you want to celebrate your wedding, as well as hire possible service providers (wedding photographer, videographers, decorator and caterers), so that all major positions will be planned and you can get down to the rest of the work.

9-11 months

9-11 months before the wedding is a good time to draw up a list of possible guests, figure out what your wedding invitations will look like and start preparing them. If you've decided you want your own wedding website or blog, now is the time to start one. And of course the dress. Where without a dress?! Buying or sewing it should definitely not be postponed until the last moment - you should start thinking about it almost a year before the big day.

6-8 months

during this period you should definitely think about what your marriage ceremony will be. If you have decided to get married in the church, then you need to find out what will be required of you - you may need to take some pre-marriage courses or discussions with the pastor. If you are getting married in a church, then finding the right pastor and church should not be left to the last minute. At least half a year is a decent time to send the so-called save the date cards to the wedding guests, which will allow them to reserve your wedding date in advance, of course, with the indication that all the necessary additional information will be indicated in the invitation, a little later. Six to eight months in advance, you should also book all pre-wedding beauty treatments, including the wedding day make-up and hairstylist.

4-5 months

It's time to choose and order your wedding rings and finalize the list of things you've planned to rent (eg chairs, tables, tablecloths). Four to five months is also a good time to meet with your florist and order the necessary flower arrangements as well as the bridal bouquet. Another no less important item is the wedding cake. It should also be ordered during this period, just like the wedding car (especially if you have planned a more exclusive means of transport).

3-2 months

The beautiful time has come to send out wedding invitations to your guests! Also, during this time, there will definitely be a dress fitting (have the right wedding shoes and accessories already been found?) and final wedding menu approval.

1 month

A month in advance is definitely a good time to re-contact all the wedding suppliers you have booked. If you don't want the photographer to forget something at your wedding, it would be the right time to give him a list of people you definitely want to photograph with after the wedding ceremony. It would also be desirable to meet with the wedding manager to go through the planned wedding scenario and introduce him a little to the general atmosphere of the wedding and the guests. Make sure that all the beauty treatments are in effect and none of the masters have messed anything up. From this day until the wedding day, there will be various little things that need to be taken care of and remembered - ironing the dress, preparing a cosmetic bag with things for the wedding day, taking at least two pairs of shoes for the wedding day and other aspects.
