Wedding Forum - Don't know where to start...

Hiya and welcome to the site, please take some time to read the rules and introduce yourself on the introduction thread, and don't forget add your date to the calendar,

I think you need to look first at the size of your guests, then you can view venues, start thinking about colour schemes and dress hunting.

I think start off with the first two main things. When and where.
Will you be wanting a church?
Will you be wanting somewhere for the ceremony and separate evening party function?
When you have figured out what you want it's time to get looking at the area you want to get married and start checking out a few of the local venues.
Once you have a date things start falling in to place.

hi and congrats i think its important to look at budget first and discuss with OH what type of wedding you want then go from there oh and

Hey to uk bride. I defiantly agree with the other ladies about budget. Once you have got a realistic budget you will be able to plan for the type of wedding you want. Once you have go you budget I would book the venue ASAP as they can get booked up 18 months in advance!
Please remember that you don't have to have a huge budget to have a great wedding, lots of people have great wedding on small budgets :). Xx

You'll probably find some family members offer some kind of financial help as well. We initially calculated everything as if we were paying for the whole thing ourselves, then any help was a bonus x

Definitely create a spreadsheet.. mine is my best friend at the moment! It's quite scary seeing all the costs written down in one place but it's satisfying being able to tick things off :) keeps me organised for sure x

Welcome!!!! My biggest piece of advice is honestly ENJOY the process. The wedding is 1 day, but the lead up (at least for me) has been 1.5 years. The whole process of planning is magical and fun and full of really special moments. There are tense ones too but so many special memories get made and its just wonderful!!

We started our wedding plan conversation with where and when, followed very quickly by budget. After that the venue search was on :)

Congrats on the engagement, we got engaged in dec and aren't gettinggmarried until dec next year. We started with a budget, then venue, MOH and best man and then I hit a wall. No florists, photographers, car companies or bakers had prices on their website, so I hit the local wedding fair. Loads of local suppliers with lots of leaflets with estimated prices. So much easier and less daunting :)
