It’s important to make a mudbird, your wish and inspiration board. It’ll make it easier for you to get into the top ten when developing your wedding concept
It is very important to be honest with yourself and try not to copy ideas from other people’s weddings! Otherwise, the holiday will turn into a mix cocktail of someone’s ideas and chips and will become a pathetic copy, not a piece of masterpiece. It’s a plagiarism ride, a wedding without a soul.
It’s important to think about what sets your couple apart and make the wedding happen to themselves.
You’ll see: once the idea is selected and approved, it’s going to go as smoothly as it should be – the choice of colors, decor, the style of outfits, the ideas for the show program, which will be subordinate to the overall concept.
2. Don’t put the whole organization on your own
You’re not a hero, you’re a bride! And you have to come to the finish line – the wedding – not a tormented panda with dark circles of sleeplessness under her eyes, but a shining princess. As much as you want to be a hero, this is not the case!
What’s to be done? Delegate duties! Who can I delegate them to? Mom and sister, friends and fiancé! Believe me, nothing critical will happen if your future choice decides without you all the questions on the technical equipment of the restaurant and the site for the away ceremony, solves issues with alcohol and food for the restaurant. You can trust your friends, if not all of them, then almost everything: the control of contractors, communication with them, collecting all the props for the wedding, buffet, the arrival of show programs at the banquet and more.
You will find a full guide to the proper distribution of cases between loved ones in this article. Bonus: advice from a specialist on why you can’t burden your mother on the day of the wedding and who you can trust almost most importantly – passport, rings and money!
3. Be fully equipped to meet the contractors
To avoid wasting precious time on trial and error, do well at once! Choose several contractors for each position: for example, 3-5 favorite photographers, the same number of videographers, presenters and so on. Selected candidates for the Virtual Crash Test: Read the brides’ reviews, the portfolio of specialists, their prices and services offered.
Important: Choose contractors only on proven websites, such as Prosvadbu.ru, so that there are up-to-date reviews, prices, contacts, service and bonus descriptions. Look for specialists who can help you in a related area: for example, the presenter will offer a florist with a discount, the restaurant will provide a gift night for newlyweds at the hotel, and so on.
Prepare checklists for each specialist with questions. Yes, there are a number of other requirements and questions for the contractor in addition to the basic evaluation criterion of the specialist “like/dislike”.
