Do not start the search for the location, do not contact the photographer to ask him for his rate card, do not book the wedding dress trial if you do not yet know what you can or want to achieve.
Among the most important choices to make when starting the organization of the wedding, as I told you in the previous post, there is to think in depth what kind of wedding yours will be.
First of all, you have to work with your imagination.
Do you remember when you were a child?
Try again, but don’t stop dreaming only of the dress of your dreams.
Start with the style, which must reflect your couple: who you are and what you like.
It is he who will help you to filter all the other searches you will do.
Let me explain: if your tastes lead you to dream of a rustic wedding it will be useless to evaluate the proposal of an ancient and royal castle or a modern and baroque location.
Even the photos, and the video, will have to respect your style. Even the music! As well as everything else.
It is not just the locations, based on their structure and design, that have a particular characteristic.
Every wedding professional has her own.
In your search you will find photographers or wedding planners specialized in their own specific style and you will immediately realize it, because it is like recognizing a brand, their imprint.
For example, I realize what the spouses ask of me, as they wish, but with a strong inclination to vintage taste, to retro and you will notice it from the photos of my set-ups.
Try starting with these questions:
- Where do you want to get married?
- In a wood, in the green, by the sea?
- What kind of reception would you like?
- A big and cheerful party or a more formal banquet?
- What reflects you the most?
- Do you prefer to focus on romance or other characteristics?
These are basic questions you need to ask yourself for every detail you are going to evaluate.
Without having first clarified your ideas, you could risk finding yourself choosing a princely dress, wildflowers and a completely inappropriate context.
Everything must follow a precise logical thread (fil rouge) and in addition this “mental scheme” will help you calculate the wedding budget.
