Wedding planning time is exciting and great, but responsible at the same time. In order for everything
to go according to plan and meet the expectations of the young couple, it is necessary to start
preparing in time and pay attention to various nuances. The wedding planning and organization
agency 2in1 has prepared a list of 10 things that you must not miss when planning the big day!
1. The right wedding photographer and videographer
A wedding is an unforgettable and, for some, a once-in-a-lifetime event, so the way to capture and
remember this moment is no less important. A photographer, and in other cases also a videographer, is
an integral part of a wedding, which will take care of beautiful memories if you choose the right person.
Do not postpone the choice of a photographer to the last moment, look at the options, the style of the
photographers, the way of processing the photos and, of course, evaluate the price so that the wishes
match the possibilities.
2. Wedding dress and suit
Every woman knows that the search for any dress can be long, because it must satisfy your wishes –
color, length and overall image, but a wedding dress is an even more responsible choice. Considering
how much time is left until the wedding day, you can look for a wedding dress in a salon or entrust the
work to a seamstress. Wedding salon Magical Beauty salons offers a wide selection of wedding dresses,
as well as the opportunity to create your dream wedding dress together with professional seamstresses.
Choosing a suit is also a no less responsible process, because it must be in harmony with the image of
the bride and the groom himself must feel comfortable, because he will spend a whole day in it.
3. Wedding rings
This seemingly easy choice can become complicated if you and your partner can’t agree on wedding
rings. The choice of modern wedding rings is quite wide – you can order a long-dreamed-of ring or
choose a ready-made design, the ring materials are also different – silver, gold, a mixture of both, etc. It
is better to solve this issue in time!
4. Decorations and invitations
Have you thought about what your wedding will look like? Regardless of the size and format,
decorations will help create a festive feeling and look good both during the event and in photos.
Matching invitations, table decorations, photo corner and other wedding elements are an important
part of the overall image. If possible, try to decorate yourself or get acquainted with the offers and costs
of decorators, as well as decor rental. In different seasons, the prices and offer may also differ, for
example, in summer it will be possible to use fresh flowers from the garden and meadow, in autumn
such an opportunity will be rarer, but the alternative is dried flowers and other elements. Be creative
about it and get inspiration from others, not forgetting your own wishes!
5. Ceremony and reception place
Popular venues for ceremonies and weddings are booked as fast as the snow melts in the summer, so
the decision about the choice of venues should also be made in time, even more so if they are two
locations. The choice of places will depend on the wishes and possibilities of the couple, the number of
guests, accommodation options if needed and other criteria. In Latvia, you can choose to celebrate your
wedding in a manor, a castle, in nature and elsewhere. The choice of venue will be influenced by the
chosen wedding date and therefore also the available venues. Other couples choose a place and adjust
the date to it, while some couples will want to emphasize the environment and decorations.
6. Guests and their count
In order to invite guests to the wedding and to inform them about your love celebration, you need to
send invitations in time, this will also allow the new couple to realize how large a number of guests to
expect, including how many places to stay, how big a celebration cake to order, etc. The right tone
would be to send the invitations no later than three months before the wedding, this will allow the
guests to plan your celebration and you to plan the menu in time, as well as solve other issues.
7. Music at the wedding
A small family wedding or a grand wedding day cannot be imagined without dancing and music. Its
choice is also a responsible matter, which is best left in the hands of professionals. In a small wedding, it
can be a person with a guitar playing a beautiful melody in the background, in a large wedding, for
example, a band or a DJ who takes care of the party all night long. In order for the musicians’ style to
match the theme of the wedding and your wishes, you should meet and discuss beforehand – what
music and songs you like, what style of music and other issues. You can prepare a playlist beforehand
and give it to the band or DJ to play.
8. Wedding feast and cake
After an intense day, every guest will have an appetite, so you will have to take care of satisfying hunger.
The way to feed hungry guests can be different depending on the wedding format, style and location,
for example, soup cooked on a fire, buffet, hot dishes and other options. In any case, make sure that
someone prepares it all and serves it if necessary. When atracting caterers, you can also schedule a
tasting to understand whether you have made the right choice, including preparing the menu ahead of
time, anticipating that guests may include vegetarians, vegans, people with allergies, etc. And, of course,
don’t forget about the dessert – wedding cake, it can be luxurious and made in several layers or a cake
already served on a plate, the main thing is to be sure that you and most of the guests will like it.
9. Wedding traditions and host of the evening
Carrying the bride across nine bridges, breaking a plate to find out the number of children to be
expected are not the only traditions that are part of the Latvian dowry. They have become more modern
and skilled wedding planners are able to adapt them to different couples. For example, the wedding
agency 2in1, according to the wishes of the couple, prepares a day plan during which the activities that
the young couple wants are realized, keeping in mind the wishes, possibilities and traditions. Creating
a day plan will also make it easier to plan other activities – photo session, first dance, wedding feast. When
thinking about the wedding traditions and the common plan of the day, you also need to think about the
person who will be responsible for conducting the evening and entertainment, or the so-called host of
the evening.It must be a skilled person who will be able to entertain guests, make the evening
interesting and fun, encourage everyone to dance and other activities.
11. Plan B
Remember that not everything goes as planned, we recommend planning a backup plan for those stages
of the wedding day where it is possible, for example, if the ceremony takes place in nature, to prepare
umbrellas and a roof for the couple in case of rain, etc.
These and other wedding-related issues can seem daunting and complicated, but in the hands of a
professional wedding planner and organizer, it all becomes much easier. This will give you both time to
think about other important things that you may have missed, such as the music for the first dance,
what to give your parents, where to go on your honeymoon, etc.
Have a beautiful festival of love!
