The wedding is just round the bend! Are you ready to tie the knot? Two to six months before the big day, you have a few more things to accomplish.

• Look for flowers that will complement the color scheme and theme you c hose. Then, visit the wedding florist you picked and tell them about your ideas. Don’t forget to bring samples of the clothes your entourage will be wearing. Also, provide a picture of the flower arrangement you want.

 

• Decide on what kind of food you want. Review packages from caterers and consider how many you plan on inviting to your wedding. Rank your choices according to what you want the most. Make sure to stay within budget.
• At this time, you should be done addressing your wedding invites. Doing this ahead of time will guarantee that you don’t run out of wedding invites later on. If you happen to run short, you will have ample time to order extras.

 

 

• If you want to hold a rehearsal dinner, this is the perfect time to do so. If you’re thinking that rehearsal dinners are simply a waste of time and money, think again. Any unforeseen problems may show their ugly heads during the reception, which is better than noticing them for the first time during your wedding day.
• If you have visitors from out of town, reserve hotel rooms or other lodging arrangements for them. Consider everything they need; these people have come from far away, setting aside their jobs to share your special moment with you. Make sure you give them the treatment they deserve.
• Choose what type of music you want for your wedding. What music do you want played when you are walking down the aisle? Decide on the ceremony music, including what songs will be played before, during, and after the wedding.
  • How about the music for the reception? Ask the music provider of your choice to provide you with a list of their available music. Screen a few tracks to make sure that the list given to you actually meet your specifications.

 

• Get together with your photographer and/ or videographer. Ask to see packages and determine how much each will cost. If you have specific ideas on how you want your pictures and videos taken, give them clear instructions. Take your time when talking to your photographer as he will be the one immortalizing the most special day of your life. Your wedding pictures will not only be yours to look at; your guests and family will also be ordering pictures, so make sure your photographer is capable of giving you the pictures that you want.
  • After settling everything with your photographer, it’s time to have your picture taken. You and your spouse should have a proper photograph together, taken at a time when you are still not rushing arrangements. At this time, you still look fresh and relaxed, perfect for a wedding photograph. Have your nails and hair done.
• Meet with your cake designer. Choose the wedding cake you want. When deciding on your cake, don’t forget that taste is just as important as the design. Choose a cake that won’t melt and soften during the reception.

 

 

• Prepare wedding favors for your guests. You can either purchase them or make them yourselves.
