Tips for Wedding Planning

SET YOUR BUDGET

Stick with what you can afford and separate your wants from your needs. Remember, catering is around 50%of your budget, so take your time deciding what is important. Caterers in the Philippines have certain packages that can suit the couple's budgets. The best weddings are when the guests are not clueless, so having a plan and executing it is the solution. - The Wedding Planner

STYLE OF WEDDING

A style is important, together you must decide if you are going with a formal or semi-formal wedding. This will dictate the balance of your wedding plans. Try researching on wedding magazines or interviewing wedding planners for a more guided occasion.

WEDDING SIZE

Big or small wedding size greatly depends on your budget; you need to come up with the total figure that you are able and willing to spend. It's not recommended going into debt to finance the kind of wedding you might want. In our country today, couples spend P200-P400TH on the average for a simple, 100 pax wedding.

VENUE FOR CEREMONY AND RECEPTION

The site for the ceremony and reception will help determine the theme, colors and formality of your wedding. Remember also to meet with the officiant to plan the ceremony and find out about required pre-marriage counseling. Scout for places. It's the best move.

COLOR AND THEME

The colors should be what you like. Set the tone with favors to tie in with the theme. The favors should always be useful or edible wedding favors. The dress can create the inspiration for the design and theme. You can also get ideas from your family and friends.
