HOW TO ORGANIZE A WEDDING
Should you hire a wedding planner? Or organize a wedding yourself? The subtleties of the wedding budget and its distribution. Relationships with loved ones during preparation. How to choose a restaurant? How to organize a wedding is the first thing that comes to mind after receiving a marriage proposal. Chaos reigns in my head and the hand reaches out to the search engine to find answers and put everything on the shelves. There is enough information on the Internet, so there is no point in retelling it. Therefore, I will outline my vision from a slightly different angle. Which will give you additional understanding in this matter. This topic is quite extensive and I'll start with the most important thing. The first thing you need to determine for yourself who will be involved in organizing the wedding. Hire professional assistance in the form of a wedding organizer, so that he in turn creates your holiday from idea to implementation, whether it will be a partial help, like coordinating the wedding on the day of the celebration itself, or take care of everything yourself. When deciding to organize a wedding yourself, you must clearly weigh and adequately assess your strengths in creating a wedding. Understand your willingness to go to victory. At first glance, the seeming lightness and exciting anticipation can easily play a cruel joke with you. The substitution of concepts - weddings, as a holiday and the organization of a wedding, are all too often for an uninitiated person. But this is a deep misconception and has nothing to do with reality. Assess the budget to be invested and the risks associated with the wrong investment. Will the savings and the refusal of professional help be realistic when a significant amount is at stake? In order to competently fulfill obligations to plan, organize and coordinate a wedding, I underwent training and internship under the clear guidance of senior organizers at the time of involvement in the profession. Therefore, without delving into the essence and complexity of this work, one can easily be deceived and say goodbye to the inspired feeling of the holiday. Since this is work, real and fruitful, which requires responsibility for the final result .. On day X, everything should go like clockwork, and not turn into the collapse required by the hourly settlement. The organizer is not about bows, ribbons and the notorious airiness, but about concentration, dedication, discipline, stamina and persistence. Is it a real soldier?)) Yes. What did you expect?
WEDDING BUDGET
Determine the minimum threshold and the maximum possible for the existing task. That is: the number of guests, the desired location and its design, the format of the event and the atmosphere. Remember, when hiring contractors, you don't need the entire wedding budget. For the reservation of specialists, 20-50% of the amount of the fee is enough. The rest of the budget is always given on the wedding day at the end of the work. So you have time to collect the necessary cache before the wedding day. Remember that most of the funds must be invested in the menu and banquet area, as well as in decoration. Only after allocating the budget, start looking for the team, indicating the acceptable / real amount "from". You should not order a media presenter, forgetting about the smallest design. The distribution should be consistent with the allocated budget, without distortions. Keeping a balance is extremely important, so you don't have to look for the missing amount of money in an emergency mode. As for the design of the restaurant, I would like to note the following point. If the allocated amount is not enough to arrange the hall on all fronts, you should determine the main area, where most of the budget will go. It is better to make one accent zone rather than smear the budget across all positions and get an indistinct picture. For example, off-site registration. A place of special emotions, quivering words can become a memorable, richly decorated location. Which by the evening will turn into a space where the wedding cake cutting ceremony will take place under the candlelight. And during the banquet it will serve as a photo zone for guests. Three in one. Well, really, great?
CONTRACTORS FOR WEDDING
Never, you hear, never follow the lead of your parents or friends, that any specialists persistently suggest you for your holiday. If you really trust their taste, and they can recommend someone worthy, make appointments and already approve candidates in a personal conversation. This is because if one of them thinks the option he is offering is acceptable, it may not suit you. By format, by type, by appearance, by the nature of the work, by personal perception. Do not be afraid to refuse help. Explain tactfully that this person is not at all who we are looking for. So at one of the weddings, about which I was "lucky" to hear, there was exactly such a situation when relatives began to actively plan a wedding for the young. We hired a wedding photographer and presenter. The photographer was from the category "I see it this way†with the experience of "I bought a camera yesterdayâ€, the host of the event was a woman who had long been stuck in parallel worlds and gave out silly contests between attempts to amuse the audience with her songs. The mood of the couple was to say the least spoiled and perceived the wedding as a fatal inevitability. Where there is no place for their vision and the possibility of worthy holding. Exaggerating? Not at all. Be selective in your team selection and guide everyone through their own filter.
RELATIONSHIPS IN PREPARING FOR A WEDDING
The parents themselves sometimes act as a stumbling block to the cherished dream. Why? By default, they consider it their duty to help you in this difficult task, like organizing your own wedding. And I have not yet met a couple who would easily accept such help. We are not talking about the financial component. It is always valuable and necessary. Rather, about excessive attention and involvement in the process on their part. Who to hire, which guests to invite, which wedding venue to celebrate, where to order the cake, and so on. And the preparation for the wedding begins to take on hostile colors and defend positions. You don't want to follow the advice of your parents, and they, in turn, are deeply convinced that they know better than you what wedding to do. Let me show you a couple of tricks to keep everyone happy. There is no need to sharply delineate boundaries and ruin relationships with loved ones during preparation. You don't need resentful parents. You can act wiser and think about what your mom and dad are the best. What they do great and what is their passion. This is what they should do. Mom, for example, can sew personalized napkins in the style and color of the wedding, which you put on plates for each guest. She can also compliment guests with her own hands. Or choose what to buy, find and pack. Dad can make a box for a wine ceremony or cash gifts. Invite your parents to choose the menu and agree on it, let them decide the number of servings and the composition. The purchase of alcohol, drinks can be dealt with by the father together with the future husband. Cake tasting? Fine! This is a reason to taste together and give the decision for the filling to the parents. Here you do not go to confrontation, openly declaring that their opinion is not taken into account. But act softly and say that I have a wedding task for you: "I need to come up with gifts for guests, compliments in dark blue,†for example. That is, the task is within the chosen concept, style and idea, which already completely come from you. Try to entrust the main, important positions in the design and preparation of the wedding to professionals. For example, if your mom wants to make you a wedding bouquet, you can ask her to make a double bridal bouquet. Which at the end of the evening will go to one of the bridesmaids. Let her put all the positive energy into it so that the bouquet becomes the most iconic!
