Hi all, i'm a newbie here and only signed up last night! I guess what i'm trying to ask is, where do I start in wedding planning?? This is my first (and hopefully my last) wedding, but my fiance's third! I keep having people telling me that I really should start planning and start enquiring about venue prices, but I really have no idea where to start! Can someone please help?? I really don't know what I should be doing!!

budget - church/civil wedding - numbers - date ............... that's enough to think about at the beginning!

I'd figure out what you want from your day.. figure out your budget and get looking at different prices then you will be able to figure out what you can and can't afford to make your wedding perfect for you both.
Soon as you know what you want things tend to fall into place for me anyway :D xx
I'd just start with what you feel like starting with. I started opposite to most other people, but I'm still well organised for the big day. If you feel like choosing a colour theme first, go with that - it will help all your other decisions!

definately the budget first, and work out what kind of wedding i suppose, whether it will be a church or civil ceremony.

Awww thx ladies!! Wasn't expecting such a quick response. We've kind of got the budget sorted, and kind of know what we want, but the main venue for the service is a bit up in the air right now.. Not sure whats best, Registry office or church?? Need to think about the money aspect of both too! I am such a wedding virgin!!

If you want God in your marriage- Church. If you don't- civil ceremony.

I say decide on either Registry/church set a date and believe me it all starts to fall into place. I was the same as you a month ago, didnt know where to start. Now the venue is booked, deposit paid and minister penciled in for 2pm. Now I think I need to plan colour scheme before I can choose dresses, cakes, flowers etc.... Defo sit down and do a budget. I am spreadsheet daft got prices down for all sorts. I went to a Wedding Fayre 2 months back helped me alot. Maybe see if there is one on near you, fab for ideas if your stuck. Congrats and good luck xxx

The date's set, the budget is kind of set... Only wanted something small... But the more I think about it, the more expensive it seems to become. Lol. Think I may have to look into the wedding fayre though. Thanks for that tip.

I know its scary how the budget gets bigger and bigger.No worries it helped me out, even with cake ideas and chair covers etc. Got lots of flyers with suppliers details etc x
CommentAuthormrs pinkalice
its not just registry office or church. you can have a civil ceremony at lots of venues as well. thats what i'm doing :) i trawled the interent for hours just typing wedding venues in norwich in to the search engine. wedding fairs is a good place to get lots of ideas for everything else xx

CommentAuthorNuttytart
Talk about what sort of wedding you would like and then sort a budget. It all comes together from there.
