Details To Remember When Planning a Wedding
Planning a wedding is a lot of work, so there are often details that are easy to forget. Here are a few commonly overlooked details you’ll want to remember.
A wedding is a beautiful occasion where friends and family can come together to celebrate the love between two people. Weddings, however, are famously stressful to plan. Many details must be thought through to plan a successful wedding, and some are easy to overlook. But if you’re planning a wedding, don’t worry. We’re here to help with a list of details to remember when planning a wedding.
Proper Announcements
The wedding invitation is often the first official notice of the upcoming union for many invitees. Guests will feel appreciated and excited about your wedding once they receive a proper invitation, so a well-crafted, beautiful invitation goes a long way. Spend some time with the design—make it unique to you and your partner. Put thought into every element of the invite, from the font type and size even down to the card’s material. A great option is durable cardstock, a classy, long-lasting material. Have several people proofread the invite—including yourself—to catch any errors.
Silverware and Place Settings
Though it may seem fairly insignificant, the silverware and place settings play a huge role in the overall aesthetic of your wedding, and they are some of the first things guests may notice. Whether buying or renting silverware and place settings, try to choose the best option within your budget. It will go a long way in making the dining tables pristine. Additionally, start the process of looking for this tableware early—the sooner you start, the better deals you might get. And if your venue happens to offer its tableware, ensure it matches the aesthetic and quality you are looking for.
Parental Details
Though you and your spouse will naturally be the center of attention on your wedding day, the parents also play a significant role in the event. Make sure the outfits you choose for your and your spouse’s parents complement the color scheme of the wedding. Additionally, have the mothers wear a corsage and the fathers boutonnieres. After all, it’s not just the bride who gets to dress up!
Adequate Lighting
The photos taken at your wedding will keep the memories alive forever, so you want them to look good. To get great photos, though, you need great lighting. While a quality photographer can make any Photo look good with editing, you want your photos to need minimal touch-ups. This will result in photos that are naturally stunning. If the outdoor lighting is sufficiently shady, outdoor shots can be preferable. But if your wedding happens to land on an extremely bright or dark day, you should ensure you have a portion of your indoor venue set up with optimal photography lighting. This way, nature won’t affect the quality of your special day’s photos. While wedding planning can be stressful, and you may feel overwhelmed with everything you have to remember, we hope this post can help you remember and manage some often-overlooked details. After all, the details can matter most when it comes to planning a wedding.
