Choose the venue sooner rather than later
Get the photographer booked as soon as possible
The photographer is actually something you need to get booked up sooner rather than later. People tend to secure people they feel comfortable with. It is important for you to find someone that you can relate to, after all, they will be spending the day with you, and getting up close and personal. A good idea is to check out websites and other weddings that the photographer has performed, websites like Vittore Buzzi could be a good place to start. Good photographers are booked up months in advance, so ensure that you make this a high priority sooner rather than later.
Start dress shopping right away
Dress shopping is definitely one of the biggest highlights of wedding planning. So as you can imagine, many brides to be make this a top priority once the engagement ring is on the finger. Some people may think it is premature to get the dress sorted first. While you may have an idea in mind, once you try that style of dress on you may feel that the style might not suit. Finding the right dress for some brides to be happens quickly whereas others take a while. So get he appointments booked and try on the dresses to ensure you find the one in plenty of time.
Decide what you want from the ceremony
Finally, you need to figure out what sort of ceremony you want very quickly. This can help to determine the venue you want. Some of the organising you may need to do to facilitate the type of ceremony that you want. You need to have this discussion with your partner. Also perhaps with family involved to ensure you make the right decision for you.
I hope that this helps you get on the road to planning the wedding of your dreams.
