How to Plan a Wedding in Los Angeles

After the excitement of an engagement, it may take a little while to float back down to earth and get started on the next step. Now that you are engaged, it is time to start planning your wedding. From creating a timetable to choosing a venue, there are a number of steps you need to take if you want to have the perfect ceremony.  

Plan Your Wedding Timetable

As soon as you announce your engagement, people will want to know when your wedding will be held. It is time to set a realistic date in the future. On average, the typical engagement lasts for 15 months. Before you tell anyone the date, make sure that your wedding venue is actually free on that date. Your wedding venue is one of the most important aspects of your wedding, so you need to get the right location booked immediately.]  

Determine Your Budget

Before you can buy your dress, choose decorations or pick a cake, you need to know how much money you can spend. Often, families will contribute money toward different wedding costs. As you begin the planning process, you should sit everyone down to talk to them and figure out your budget for the entire event.  

Choose the Location

Do you want a backyard wedding? Are you dreaming about having your ceremony at your preferred location? There are a variety of different styles you can go with. Other than considering your budget, you should also think about whether you want a modern, romantic, indoor, rustic or fancy wedding. Then, you need to find a suitable venue that is available on your wedding date.  

Pick Your Guest List

Creating your guest list involves tact and diplomacy. Unless you have an unlimited budget, you will need to limit the number of guests. Plus, many venues only allow a certain number of people. More guests generally mean a more expensive wedding, so you can splurge on other parts of the wedding if you save some money on your guest list.  

Select Your Wedding Party

Before you can pick out dresses and suits for your wedding party, you need to know who will be a part of it. In addition, your wedding party will be spending money and time on your wedding preparations. To make the process easier for you and your wedding party, coordinate with the members of the party as early as possible.    Other than the location and your wedding party, you also need to do the following things as you plan out your wedding.  

• Choose your wedding cake.
• Buy a dress.
• Find a wedding planner.
• Pick invitations, favors and decorations.
• Book your venue.
• Book your honeymoon.
