How to plan your dream wedding.

There are some couples who can plan a wedding in a few weeks and some who will need two years to pull everything together, but however long you spend in the process, to achieve a truly memorable day for everyone involved there are some aspects of a wedding that are essential.

Initial planning

The first item on the checklist is to decide the potential dates of the ceremony and reception.

You may have a significant date you both agree on, or you may want to check with important guests that they are available on your chosen day.

Once the date is decided, agree on a wedding budget that is affordable. The cost of a wedding can spiral out of control, causing problems for the happy couple later on. Agree on a budget and stick to it.

Draw up a guest list, as this will dictate the size of the venue and affect the budget. Once you have decided who to invite, choose and book the location for the ceremony and the venue for the reception.

What do you need to make the day perfect?

There are a host of options when it comes to personalising a wedding – so many, in fact, that you can soon exceed your agreed budget.

Decide together what will make your wedding perfect and set about making that happen. For most brides, the dress is one of the most important features of the day.

The right wedding dress will make you feel beautiful and special, but you don’t need to break the budget, as you may be able to save money by having a gown made for you. If you know someone who is a talented seamstress, consider asking them to create your perfect gown, tailor-made just for you.

Wedding services

Settling on the smaller aspects of the wedding can be time consuming and confusing, so you may need help from a professional Liverpool wedding planner for your big day.

Items like the cars and wedding flowers are crucial, just as the right invitations can create the desired impression. Hair and makeup may be important to you, and so should be considered carefully so that you look and feel your best.

Preserving the big day

After all the sweat and tears – the hectic evenings spent crafting little table decorations, and the late nights selecting tracks for the playlist – the wedding day itself often passes in a blur.

To preserve those cherished moments, select a professional photographer who will capture your finest moments forever. You may decide you want photos that reflect your style and the occasion itself.

Personalised snapshots will create a unique wedding album that, in years to come, will bring all the fantastic memories cascading back to you. Spend time with your chosen photographer ahead of the ceremony, so that you can discuss ideas to make your wedding album unique to you, reflecting a special day with memories that will last forever.

Getting those perfect wedding photographs.

As the bride or groom, it goes without saying that you want the photographs of your big day to serve as a visual reminder that captures the essence, beauty and love that it was filled with.

When you hire a Liverpool wedding photographer, or indeed one from whatever town or city you plan to get married in, they will hold the ultimate responsibility for the success of the pictures. However, there are a few things for the bride and groom to bear in mind to get the most out of their wedding snaps:

Consider your surroundings

Think about the little things. For example, if the photographer wants to take some pictures of you getting ready, think about what will be in the shot. If you are drinking water to hydrate yourself, drink it from a glass to avoid a plastic bottle spoiling the photo.

Getting the right message across

Don’t be afraid to cuddle up with your spouse, as gaps between you could be amplified in the pics, giving a feeling that lacks intimacy. It may help to release any tension by rolling your shoulders a couple of times before a photograph is taken to get more relaxed.

Also, when looking to create the perfect picture, you need to allow sufficient time for the photographer, as they will need to place each person in the most flattering pose. This can’t be rushed, so it is best to avoid an excessively long list of group shot requests.

How will you look?

Consider how you intend to wear your hair on the big day. Cascading curls are beautiful and flattering, but may cover your face in pictures unless it is a head on shot. If you opt for hair down as opposed to an up-do, pull it in slightly at the sides to keep you face clear.

Very importantly, don’t forget to smile, and don’t let your arms hang loosely at your side. Do something with them like placing them around your partner, or whoever you are being photographed with.

Enjoy your day

If all else fails, treat yourself and your spouse to a glass of wine or even a cocktail, which may help to ease any anxiety about being in front of the camera. Just don’t over do it, of course!

It is very easy to get caught up with all of the little bits that go towards forming the perfect wedding day, but once you have made your plans, booked the wedding photographer and discussed your requirements, relax and revel in the perfect picture album that is being created for you.
