success is organization. Successful planners think of everything...a

With this smart and easy summer wedding plan, you can skip the high
cost of a professional planner and plan your own wedding without
stress or anxiety. The summer wedding plan is intended for brides
who are planning to get married in the summer season.
The Countdown
By splitting up what needs to be done in the months before your
wedding day, you can accomplish a little each month instead of
piling it all up to be done in one hectic week. Prioritizing your
wedding needs and using a timeframe is the key to stress-free
planning. This plan is set on a twelve month time period, however
today's couples are staying engaged for a shorter period of time
than couples of the past, so feel free to adapt the steps to your
own personal time frame. Remember, even an elaborate wedding can be
planned in a few days, you just don't have as much time to be picky.
Ten to Twelve Months Before
A summer bride should start planning her wedding at least by the
autumn of the year before the wedding day. This allows enough time
to make sure your favorite wedding professionals are available. The
first task on a bride's list should be the location of the wedding.
If a bride finds the perfect wedding location, she can set the date
accordingly. However, if the couple sets the date before hand, they
could end up changing it several times when they realize it does not
coordinate with their chosen locations.
A summer bride usually considers an outdoor wedding at some point in
planning. Consider consulting an almanac to try to predict what type
of weather is normal for your wedding location on your wedding date.
Seven to Nine Months Before
After the location is chosen and your wedding date is in stone, you
can begin consulting with wedding professionals. Caterers and
florists usually require reservation at least four to six months
before your wedding, however calling ahead and tentatively reserving
your favorites may be smart. Wedding professionals might even mark
you down permanently if you agree to schedule a formal consultation
within the next month.
This is a great time to choose a wedding theme if you choose. Start
thinking about wedding decorations as well, although you do not need
to worry to much about them at this point. A good idea is to make a
list of decoration ideas and be on the look out for decorative
things you see while you are shopping for other items.
Five to Six Months Before
The dress is a big project to work on during this time. Many wedding
dresses take about four months to order, so make sure you have
chosen your dress before the fourth month begins. The same is true
for the bridesmaids' dresses, so take them along on your shopping
trips.
Your wedding decoration planning should come into view during this
time as well. Start planning your wedding invitations. Be sure to
reserve any rentals you may need and begin buying other decorative
pieces. Keeping all of your items in one room or a few marked boxes
is a great way to stay organized.
Two to Four Months Before
Men's attire never takes as long to order so this is an appropriate
time to start getting them men fitted for their wedding attire.
You also need to finalize your invitations at the beginning of this
period. This will allow you plenty of time to fix any mistakes the
printers may make and more than enough time for addressing them.
This is also a great time to get your dress fitted and altered if
necessary.
One Month Before
Your wedding is getting closer and now is the perfect time to send
out your invitations to let guests know your wedding details.
Everything major should already be taken care of at this point in
your planning so sit back, make a few last minute checks, and enjoy
your month.
You will need to double check with your florist, caterer, musicians,
and the location staff to make sure everything is set for your
special day.
Also, make sure you get a final dress fitting this month in case
your shape has changed. A hair appointment is also a good idea to
plan how you will wear your hair on your wedding day.
Using this summer wedding plan you can organize a successful wedding
without stress. So, follow the steps provided and good luck in
your planning!
