(read part 1)
You're over the initial excitement / shock / panic of getting engaged (well mostly) and you've agreed with your partner on a sensible budget. It's time to start deciding on one of the most important parts of your wedding day. The style of wedding.
Have you always dreamed of a traditional church wedding? Or would you rather have a civil ceremony? This is probably something you'll both know straight away, so an easy one if you both agree!
Do you want a wedding that's completely different and unique? I've seen some beautiful weddings based on the couples' lifestyle, where the boundaries are pushed and all traditions go out the window. Or would you rather a simple, elegant and classic wedding?
Maybe a summer garden wedding is what you want? Or would you stress too much about the unpredictable British weather? I know I would! Maybe consider a marquee and have the best of both worlds.
What about a beach wedding abroad? Destination weddings are stunning, but think carefully about your guests, as not all of them may have the means to travel to a different country. If having all of your friends and family around you on your big day, this may not be the best option.
Do you want a huge, blow-out party or a more intimate celebration with a few of your loved ones? This is another point to consider before you start looking for venues, you wouldn't want your guests to be too crammed in, or so spread out that half your guests disappear!
So. Many. Questions.
Discussing and answering these together with your other half will help you massively with deciding on things such as your venue, the time of year you get married, and your theme, if you want one, so it's best to nail them down as early as possible as the rest of your day will fall in to place around them.
Remember not to stress out at this point though, there'll be plenty of time to be a Bridezilla later on!
