the Type of Wedding
(formal, informal),

Wedding Budget
Get an idea of what you have to spend and who will pay
for what. The old standards of who pays what don't
always apply. But keep in mind, you'll need some
budget estimates in mind when choosing your reception
location.

Months Ahead
Make
Arrangements
with the Wedding Officiator.
Be sure to do this early. You may need to
attend pre-marriage counseling with your officiator,
depending on your religious faith.
Decide the Color Scheme
of Your Wedding
Choose Your Bridal Party
Decide on the size of the bridal party, and
remember, the bridal party does not have to include
every member of your extended family. Probably EVERY
BRIDE feels they'll hurt someone's feelings by not
including them in the bridal party, but use your best
judgement in drawing the line...it will all work out!
Choose
& Order Your
Wedding Gown, Veil & Accessories
Get ideas of what style gown you like from Bridal
Magazines but be sure to try on a few styles you might
not select. You may find something you like even
better with the help of a Bridal Store professional.
Not all styles look good on a small or petite bride,
even though they look great on that model in the
magazine.
Order
Your Bridesmaids
Dresses & Accessories
Think about the members of your wedding party when
planning the style of dress. While this is your
day to shine, a strapless dress falling off a petite
member of your bridal party could be all anyone
remembers.
