Gaeta Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Depends what type of wedding you're going for. Is it a huge family & friends event or it's a quiet wedding by the beach? When I got married we started planning 1 year ahead. We had 200 guests. Our Church, venue, catering, music band were reseved 1 year ahead. We got married in our hometown which has 2000 population and we had to reserve everything 1 year ahead, imagine how ahead you have to be in a big city. We just celebrated our parents 60th wedding anniversary last weekend. We also started planning it last year. Scares me when you say you're getting married soon and you're just starting planning 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

I notice that you've written this in singular. My suggestion is that it's really important to involve your partner in the planning, this way you get something you BOTH want Link to post Share on other sites

MsJayne Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 The most memorable wedding I ever went to was in the bride's parent's backyard under a silk marquee decorated with flowers. Family members manned the bar and the spit roast feast, and took care of the music. The bride wore a beautiful Thai silk dress made by her mother. It was memorable because it was so relaxed and happy, and more than that, you could see the love radiating from the bride and groom. The marquee was filled with people dancing and laughing well into the night. Thirty-five years later they're still crazy in love and have seven children, etc. Another memorable wedding was a very posh affair, the ceremony was all pomp and circumstance in a prestigious Melbourne church, and the reception was on the incredibly-expensive-to-hire 35th floor of the Rialto Tower in Collins St. The bride, resplendent in a truly hideous ice-cream cake of a dress, and her maids, arrived in Ferarris. At the reception we all stood around, (no tables or seats, the explanation was "it's a cocktail reception", but I suspected it was because the whole reception budget had been blown on the venue), rapidly getting smashed because the only food on offer was hors d'oeuvres, (budget blowout again), and we were all starving after waiting hours while photo's were taken. It was a long and tiring day and I'd had enough after the church service. That couple are bitterly divorced and estranged. So my advice would be to make it memorable for the right reasons.
