    1. Decide what kind of wedding you want<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The first step will defining<\/strong> in what wedding you dream of<\/strong>. Would you like to organize a big wedding with ceremony, aperitif, banquet and party, or do you prefer to make an intimate wedding in a small farmhouse with the closest relatives? Or maybe a totally different casual wedding with friends on the beach? Would you like to do a civil ceremony on the same wedding venue or do you want to do a ceremony in the church?<\/p>\n

    Knowing what type of wedding would you like<\/strong> will be key for deciding and organizing the rest of things.<\/p>\n

    2. List of guests<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Having clear the provisional guest list<\/strong> will be important to know approximately the “size of the wedding”<\/strong> so you can start looking for the ideal venue for your wedding. A place for 200 guests is not the same as for 50 guests.<\/p>\n

    We recommend you to start the guest list by the closest family and friends and expanding the circle.<\/p>\n

    3. Choose the perfect place for your wedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Certainly, one of the most important decisions is to decide where to celebrate the wedding<\/strong>. In a farmhouse in the mountains, a wedding venue surrounded by vineyards, a castle…? Near where you live or perhaps a destination wedding in another country? That the venue already has its own catering and all the necessary services, or do you prefer to organize everyone on your own?<\/p>\n

    It will also be important to see if the venue where you want to organize the wedding has all the necessary services and a wedding coordination service<\/strong>, or maybe do you need to hire a Wedding Planner<\/strong> or organize everything yourself.<\/p>\n

    Choosing the perfect wedding venue<\/strong> can be complicated, we recommend you read on the blog, our tips on how to choose the perfect wedding venue<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    4. Choosing the wedding date<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The wedding date<\/strong> is a very important date. There are couples who want a specific date and on that it depends on the wedding place.<\/p>\n

    To choose the date of the wedding it will be important to know if you want to celebrate a summer wedding, a winter wedding, would you like a month in particular, etc. Also, if you want a Saturday, a Friday, a special holiday…<\/p>\n

    Depending on the chosen wedding place or kind of wedding, the date of the wedding can also depend on. Like if for example, you choose a summer place where the banquet is outside.<\/p>\n

    5. Legal procedures and preparation of the ceremony<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Once you decided the wedding place and the date, it will be time to start all the legal procedures to officiate the marriage<\/strong>. Either if it is a civil wedding in the Town Hall, at the same wedding venue or a religious wedding in the church.<\/p>\n

    It will also be necessary to start preparing the ceremony<\/strong>: decide who will be the officiant, how do you want the ceremony to be, if you want to do the vows, some special ritual, etc.<\/p>\n

    6. Defining the general timing of the wedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Once you have decided how, when and where the wedding is going to be, it will be important to define a general timing so you can start preparing the invitations and organize the big day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    At the wedding venues they can help you defining the perfect timing and help you in how to organize a wedding.<\/p>\n

    7. Send the invitations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    When should invitations be sent? This is one of the questions we receive most from our couples. We recommend sending the invitations between 6 and 3 months before the wedding<\/strong>. Even so, if there are people who come from abroad or you need confirmation in advance, you can send a save the date<\/em> a few months earlier.<\/p>\n

    For the design of the invitations<\/strong>, you can let your imagination fly: tell your love story, be inspired by your travels or hobbies, put some photograph or illustration of you, etc. The invitations can be on paper and send them by traditional mail post, or digital and send them by email, WhatsApp or even in video format. You can also create a wedding website with all the information about the engagement.<\/p>\n

    8. Find the perfect wedding dress and accessories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Choosing the wedding dress<\/strong> is one of the most exciting and special steps when organizing a wedding. It is recommended to start the search of the wedding dress between 12 and 6 months before the wedding<\/strong>. Even so, it will depend on the atelier or brand you choose.<\/p>\n

    Our recommendation is to start the search of the wedding dress with time to find your perfect wedding dress.<\/p>\n

    Once chosen the wedding dress you can start choosing the ideal accessories and think about the hairstyle and makeup.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    For the groom we recommend starting the search of the groom suit between 6 and 4 months before the wedding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    9. Hire the photographer and\/or videographer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The photos and videos of your wedding will be one of the most special wedding memories and will be for life. Choosing the photographer you like and fits your style<\/strong> will be a very important step.<\/p>\n

    In addition, it will be a key figure during the wedding day, as it will always accompany you<\/strong>: preparation, ceremony, report of boyfriends, aperitif, party… and you can even do a pre-wedding report.<\/p>\n

    We recommend you start searching and ask for information and budgets from several photographers in advance, so you can choose the photographer that best fits your personality and budget.<\/p>\n

    10. Hire important services for the wedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Little by little you will decide all the things. To have everything organized and not stress or go at the last minute, we recommend you to book or contact the important services for the wedding in advance<\/strong>. As could they be:<\/p>\n
