• WHERE ARE YOU SAYING, “I do”?

Choosing the impeccable place to share your vows and have your first kiss as a married couple is a huge step in the planning process. Most places recommend booking a year or two in advance!

Do you want to choose a tropical place? A semi-tropical place? Or a polar climate place? What is the most magical to you? Choose the climate and start looking at places that lay in your budget.

Do you want to stay local? Staying local will not only be financially beneficial to you but to the family and friends receiving the invitations. This will make it easier for your guests to attend. This is where choosing a date could fall into climate choosing!

• SAVE THE DATE

Celebrations by Allie wants to help you save the date to your extraordinary wedding day! When staying local and deciding on what season you want your wedding to fall upon, saving the date will be much easier. If you want a summer wedding, maybe go for June, July or August. Do you prefer a winter wedding? Maybe November or early January depending upon the climate in your home state/town.

Choose your season and then choose a date that will be one to celebrate every year and that will be beneficial to your guests. Make sure you set that date set and stone before mailing those invitations!

• THE PERFECT DRESS

It’s time for you and the bridesmaids to get your hands on the perfect wedding dress. The one dress you see yourself changing your life in. What kind of style of dress do you like? What is your price range? What color? Do you want a classic white dress or change up the traditional colors and go for a pastel pink or maybe even a cream? It’s all up to you as the bride to choose your perfect dress for your perfect day.

• WHAT’S YOUR THEME?

Depending on your tone of the wedding and where this wedding will be taking place and when, how big you want your wedding to be, hiring a photographer, getting the food supply, buying decorations, and etc. A wedding can definitely be an investment and you may become overwhelmed with doing this all alone or with a friend or sister or even your mother!

• START A REGISTRY

After all of your hard work and all of your financial fees of this beautiful and magical day, you as a newly wedded bride deserve a little gift. Create a registry for your friends and family as well as your other guests. It’s a good idea to start this process early in the planning process to give your guests time to make their purchase.

• MAKE A WEDDING WEBSITE/PAGE

Creating a website for your wedding or even something as simple as an Instagram account will help your guests have easy access to all of the information of your wedding. Where, when, include the registry we created, the time, travel information, and etc. Maybe even start a count day to keep everyone as happily and excited as you are!

• HOW ABOUT A SEATING CHART?

Seating people in sections by tables is key! Celebrations by Allie is here to do so! We want to help accommodate how many tables and where to sit your family by keeping relationships and family dynamics in consideration.

• REHEARSALS!

Wedding rehearsals or having a rehearsal dinner is important to have to practice what the wedding will look like on the day of. Usually this takes place a couple nights before if not the actual night before the wedding. Practicing orders people will walk in or when to cue the music!

• HONEYMOON

What’s a wedding without a honeymoon? Celebrations by Allie wants to help take one step further in planning your wedding by planning the after parties, the ceremonies and even your honeymoon with your significant other. Especially if you want to go on your honeymoon as soon as possible after the wedding, it’s a good idea to plan at the same time of your actual wedding! Choose a location, set your budget and save the date but this time, no invitations will be needed.

• DO YOU HAVE A LICENSE?

You may have forgotten that in order to say your vows and “I do’s”, you must have a marriage license. This is so you and your partner can LEGALLY get married at the altar. Be sure to study this upon your state beforehand!

• THE BIG DAY!

Last step to planning a wedding is GETTING MARRIED! After all the work you have put into your special day, it’s finally time to say, “I do” and kiss at the altar while all your friends and family are watching!
