Planning your Wedding

Getting married is one of the most important parts of your life. It is a way to show that you are committed to the one you love and that you will stay with them for the rest of your life. Sounds easy doesn't it? Well there is an awful lot of planning that goes into a wedding (sometimes years!) and a lot of stress but it's all worth it when it comes to your big day.

Most women begin with the dress. The dress has to be glamorous, stylish and beautiful. Obviously different women prefer different dresses. Some like white while others like red. Some like traditional whereas others like modern. Wedding dresses do not come cheap so you want to make sure you have the one you love. Then comes the suits. The groom and his party (usually the father of the groom, best man and other male relatives) usually wear matching morning suits. There come accesorised with matching ties and waistcoats. After that you have the bridesmaid dresses. They have to match with the colour scheme of the wedding but shouldn't look better than the bride!

Once you've got everyone dressed it's time to sort out the venue. Some people like the idea of getting married in a church whereas others prefer a civil ceremony in a hotel or registry office. Whichever you choose don't forget the flowers.

Then comes the reception. This is the big party afterwards to celebrate your wedding. You may choose to have it at home or have a more fancy do. You will need to organise food and entertainment for a reception. Some people will have a sit down wedding breakfast, this entails making up a table plan too. Don't forget that some of your guests will have special food requirements too so be sure to check with them.

Of course you will need transportation to get to and from the wedding/reception. Most brides arrive in a limo but you can use a vintage car, motorbike or even horse drawn carriage. Then you need to get your guests from the wedding to the reception. A coach service would probably be the most cost effective way of this and you won't have people getting lost on the way! Then there is the bride and groom departure. This is not so important so feel free to use a friend’s car, VIP coach, or even a taxi.

Finally it's the honeymoon. The holiday after you get married. It should be romantic and be somewhere where you can enjoy each others company and not have to worry about anyone else.

Then there are all the other little things to organise too such as the invitations, flowers, gifts for your wedding party, favours, the cake, and the list goes on! But even though you will be stressing out that everything has to go right, don't forget to enjoy it! It's the biggest day of your life so take pleasure in your family and friends celebrating with you and have a great day.
