The question has been popped, and now it\u2019s time for wedding planning! If it all seems a bit overwhelming, do not fear, as here is a handy checklist, perfect for the organisation of your big day!<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Straight after engagement\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate! <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get stuck into planning straight away. Give yourself some time to celebrate and take the engagement in<\/g> beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tell family and friends the great news. Start by announcing to your closest family, then let your friends know in person if possible. Don\u2019t forget to snap a picture to tell everyone \u2018you said yes!\u2019 on social media!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organise an engagement party or drinks.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Get your nearest and dearest together over a bottle of fizz to celebrate your exciting news. However big or small, just make sure you hold a little event! It\u2019ll be special to both yourselves and your families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your families have not yet met, this is a great time for them to be introduced before the wedding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide on a rough date<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Would you like a summer or winter wedding? Does the idea of saving money and marrying on a weekday appeal to you, or do you dream of a weekend-long celebration? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do you or your close family have any holiday booked around the time you are thinking of getting married? Asking yourselves these key questions while arranging a date can really help with the day\u2019s organisation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 12 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Set budget and number of guests you want to invite<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before you do anything else the most important thing to do is set yourselves a clear budget! This will give you a clear idea from the get-go of where to start your planning and what you can afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When thinking about your budget, it\u2019s important to consider all aspects of your wedding: venue hire will be the most expensive, followed by caterers (if not included in venue price), photographer, dress, entertainment, stationery, cake and florist. Just to name a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Working out your top wedding priority will really help when you\u2019re organising what to splurge on and what you would like to save on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve always dreamed of getting married in a princess dress, or love the thought of being driven to your wedding in a vintage Rolls Royce, then make sure that you consider these aspects of your day as the most important when establishing your wedding day budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book venue <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

(need some inspiration? Check out our favourite <\/strong>venues in Kent<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Devon wedding venues<\/strong><\/a> here!)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many different wedding venues on The Wedding Secret website: whether you desire getting married in a country house, a lavish hotel, or maybe even outdoors, you\u2019re guaranteed to find the wedding venue of your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to book your venue as soon as you can, the popular dates book up often years in advance. If you have a dream wedding venue in mind, you may need to compromise on the time of year you want to hold your wedding. Particularly if they are very popular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Book registrar<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These need to be organised by you, regardless of your venue. Make sure you book a registrar at a similar time as booking your venue to ensure that both are free on the same day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is only for civil ceremonies of course. If you’re planning a religious service you’ll need to arrange it through your parish or priest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send save the dates out<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s best to get these to your guests as soon as possible. It\u2019ll be devastating if one of your closest friends or your favourite cousin can\u2019t attend because they have booked a holiday at this time!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a Pinterest board and album! The visual social media platform of Pinterest is a fantastic tool for organising your big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like The Wedding Secret on Facebook<\/a> and follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of our updates.<\/strong> You\u2019ll be the first to find out about all the new venues and suppliers that we list on the website and open days in the local area, and you\u2019ll get some awesome wedding inspiration too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Send invitations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Although you have sent out your save the dates, invitations are still very important. These will give guests an exact place and time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always include details of local hotels for guests that are travelling from afar, so they can book this as soon as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

11 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Research suppliers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the part when every other aspect of your wedding should start coming into place. Research local suppliers to you such as photographers, caterers and dress shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got a great portfolio of wedding suppliers from all over the UK on our website. Make sure you take your time researching, so you know that the supplier you decide on is perfect for your wedding day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>Photographers are like wedding venues, they can get fully booked<\/g> very quickly. In order to avoid disappointment, book your photographer as soon as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Receive\/request the return of RSVPs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to get these in plenty of time so you can let your venue and caterers know your definite numbers. You should probably give a deadline date for your guests to get back to you! This will ensure it\u2019s done in plenty of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book photographer and organise engagement shoot<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t already, book your photographer! An engagement shoot is a great idea, and many photographers will offer these with their compliments or heavily reduced if you book their services for your wedding day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These help you feel at ease in front of the camera and get used to the photographers working style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book caterers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many venues offer in-house catering, but it is still quite popular for external caterers to be sourced. If your venue permits external caterers, you can let your culinary dreams run wild; do you want something traditional or a little different?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether you fancy a three-course breakfast, a delicious BBQ or a delightful finger buffet, you\u2019ll be able to find it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book musicians and DJ<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These sell out quickly, so it\u2019s a good idea to book them as soon as possible! Some venues give you the option to use their in house DJ, but if not you\u2019ll have to source your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a peek at all of the musicians and bands that we list on the website. You could opt for something elegant, like a harpist, or maybe a fun, vibrant string quartet! We have a range of DJs listed too; so you can be sure that your music will keep on going until the early hours! Check out our wedding entertainment<\/a> for inspiration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Book hairdresser and makeup<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every bride wants to look like a princess on their big day, and this is more than possible with our range of hair stylists and make-up artists that we list on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you book early to ensure that you have ample time to decide on the look you want! Swindon-based DoubleDutch<\/a> provides fantastic mobile hair and makeup services across the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Research flowers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the colour scheme of your wedding, and what kind of flowers would best suit it? Taking some time to properly research types and colours of flowers will really help to make sure that your day ties together nicely!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Research transport<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are many wedding transport options in the UK; you could arrive at your wedding in a quaintly old-fashioned Rolls Royce, or an authentic horse and cart! Check out all of our car options to decide on yours! For something a little different, take a look at Essex-based VW campervan company Retro Splitty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research other wedding entertainment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A band is great, but you could also use a magician or kids entertainment! Magicians are a really handy distraction for people when your pictures are being taken, and kids entertainment is perfect to keep those little ones distracted! Find some fantastic wedding entertainment options in the Somerset area<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Book your wedding transport<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now\u2019s the time to get the cars booked! Doing it this far in advance means that there will be a guarantee of getting exactly what you want!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose and order bridesmaid dresses<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bridesmaid dresses traditionally match or semi-match, so it\u2019s best to get these ordered early to make sure you have the right ones! Lots of our suppliers stock gorgeous bridesmaid dresses \u2013 check them out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose wedding rings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re doing this together, or as a surprise, this should be thought about over half a year before the big day. This gives lots of time to find \u2018the one\u2019 and get them altered individually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider getting bespoke wedding rings and having a jeweller design them to your exact specifications!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look on Pinterest for wedding gift list ideas!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Check out our Pinterest board<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>where you can find loads of gift inspiration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose a cake maker<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a great idea to get your baker decided on early. They often book far in advance, and if you wish for a bespoke cake, they\u2019ll want to start thinking about your design and flavour nice and early.\u00a0Check out the delicious Sylvia’s Kitchen<\/a> in Kent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book meeting with photographer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time for your first meeting with your photographer!<\/strong> Have you decided on your photography style yet \u2013 casual or formal? How many photos do you want of you as a couple? A meeting with the photographer at this stage can help you decide on the essential criteria to ensure that your wedding photos are perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book honeymoon<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Do you dream of a safari honeymoon? Or perhaps a celebration with your loved one on a Caribbean beach? Now\u2019s the time to get thinking and booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to think of the best season to travel to certain places \u2013 when it\u2019s summer in England it\u2019s winter in Australia \u2013 and get those important flights booked. Ensure you let any companies you book through know that it\u2019s your honeymoon \u2013 you\u2019ll probably be first on the list if any upgrades become available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to have your honeymoon straight after your wedding. It\u2019s becoming more popular amongst couples to have a honeymoon many months after the wedding, to give their wallets a bit of a break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also difficult to get a lot of time off work, so think about this before you book. You may want to consider having a week off before your wedding to ensure you\u2019re stress free. With this in mind, will your work allow you to have three weeks off at once?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s often worth organising your honeymoon with a travel consultant, as they can often provide a significant discount compared to booking it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book first-night accommodation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If yours isn\u2019t automatically booked for your venue, or you are staying somewhere else, then now\u2019s the time to think about booking your first night accommodation. Be sure to ask the hotel if they have any extra facilities or services for newlyweds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make table plan<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Who\u2019s sitting where? Table plans can be a bit of a jigsaw, and the venue will need to know in advance, so it\u2019s best to start thinking about it as early as possible. You\u2019ll need to consider this carefully. Who knows who. Who will get on with crazy uncle bob? This takes careful consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, at this stage to take note of any dietary requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finish your gift list<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now\u2019s about the time you should be getting your gift list out. Prezola <\/a>is a great online way to get gift lists out to guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buy any accessories <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Buy wedding shoes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For brides, heels or flats? For grooms, brogues or converse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to be as comfy as possible on your wedding day, while also looking sleek and elegant! Now\u2019s the time to make these decisions and purchase your wedding day footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy table decorations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Table decoration is where you can be really fun and creative. Embellish the surfaces with flowers, unique photo pieces or streamers, depending on your theme and how personal you want your wedding to be! Venue decorators and even florists can provide such items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 months\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start searching for vow inspiration<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The most emotionally important part of the ceremony, you need to ensure that your vows are absolutely perfect! Now\u2019s probably the time to start thinking about your wedding vows, check out Pinterest for loads of inspiring love quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order wedding flowers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Get your floral order in around now to ensure that they\u2019re ready in time for your big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you\u2019ve got some treats for your guests, as well as thankyou gifts for those who are playing an integral role in your day! Box Clever Wedding<\/a> are a well-known company who provide all sorts of favours and gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chase up any late invites to finalise guest list<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you invited some people after the first guest list was made, then make sure you know by now if they can come or not. This enables your venue and caterers to know exactly how many people they need to provide for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finalise honeymoon<\/strong> prep<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Do I need any visas or vaccinations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling outside Europe, it\u2019s important to consider visas or vaccinations \u2013 nobody wants to have any last minute stress about getting these things done just before the wedding, or worse, not be able to go or get ill on their honeymoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 month\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Book hair and make-up session<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Have hair and makeup trial<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Final guest numbers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now all of the invitations have been chased up, make a note of your final number of guests attending, altering the seating plan if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 week…<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check with suppliers that all is well<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to check in with your photographer, florist, baker and entertainment around now, just to confirm that all is well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure the groom gets a haircut<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It may be a good idea to get this done now, so he has time for it to settle before the wedding day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrap gifts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Get your shorts and flip flops \u2013 or alternative clothing \u2013 down from the attic and in your suitcase around now, so you\u2019re ready for the big day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change money for honeymoon<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
