Wedding Budget
Having your dream wedding and spending loads is never on the list. So decide ‘what is your budget’. Think simple ways of cutting your budget. You can do this by trimming the guest list. Also remember, the costs of venue cost you one-third of your budget.

Remember, there is no hard and fast rule to follow conventions or even to have everything that is deemed to be your need.
Book vendors in advance
Get your vendors booked in advance with venues to ensure safety. This keeps you less strained during your wedding day.
Wedding Ring
Get wedding ring from a reputable place for peace of mind. Also get it insurance as it is worth it. You can get this insurance from a company specializing in jewelry insurance.
Shop Wedding Dresses
Begin your search online, looking for wedding dress photos and the few dresses you like can be saved as your favorites. This can be taken to your appointments.
More importantly, before entering a dress salon learn the lingo. Go with knowledge about trains, necklines, silhouettes and hues flattering. Also consider the season you are getting married to switch with choices. If your wedding is in summer, go for linen, chiffon or organza type lightweight fabrics and for a winter wedding, choose faux fur, brocade and velvet to stay warm. However, for an all time perfect dress, go for silk, shantung, satin and tulle.
Note: Ensure a restful night sleep and a relaxed day prior to the wedding.
