What Should Our Wedding Color Scheme Be?
One of the first decisions you’ll make in your planning process is choosing your wedding color scheme. The colors you select will guide every aesthetic decision from your invitations to your bridesmaids’ dresses. The best way to choose is to consider your venue, the season of your wedding, and your unique personality. For instance, a sweet pastel palette can be perfect for a spring garden wedding, while deep, moody hues might better suit a winter celebration. A vibrant blend of blues and oranges may be a reflection of your bold, adventurous spirits.
Remember that the colors you choose should be something you love and align with the overall vibe you’re aiming for. There are no strict rules in terms of color combinations. So, feel free to get creative!
Should We Go for a Traditional or Modern Ceremony?
This decision ultimately comes down to your values and what’s important to you and your partner. If family traditions and cultural rituals are significant to you, incorporating them into your ceremony might be the right decision. On the other hand, if you both love the idea of breaking norms, creating completely new traditions and opting for a modern, non-traditional wedding could be for you.
Remember, your wedding is a personal affair. It should reflect who you are as a couple. It’s essential to discuss what elements you both feel are important to include, regardless of whether they are traditional or modern.
How Do We Create A Guest List?
Putting together your guest list might feel a bit overwhelming. However, with a systematic approach, it can be manageable. Start by creating an initial list with everyone you can think of who you’d like to invite. From there, rank your guests from most important to least. This way, if you need to cut down, you know where to start.
Consider your budget and venue’s capacity as these will largely dictate your guest list’s size. Remember, it’s okay not to invite every acquaintance or distant relative. Your wedding is a special day, and you should be surrounded by those closest to you.
Planning a wedding comes with endless questions, but hopefully, this guide offers some clarity. Remember, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to weddings. Celebrate in a way that is true to you and your partner. This is a unique journey, cherish every moment, and above all else, have fun!
