    *Reckon about wether she wants a huge or small wedding?
    *Set a budget
    *Book a venue first,reckon about where does she want to have her ceremony? church? beach? in the garden? Also reckon about the reception? in a restaurant? is it going to be a sit down dinner? buffet? or is it drinking party only? cocktail? (do some research)
    *Book a celebrant/officiant
    *start looking for wedding dress/bridesmaids dress
    *Start looking for a photogrpher (wedding photographer)/videographer. Some photographers do offer some package deals that includes make-up artist/hair stylist, She might want to look into it, so do some research
    *Organise the music as well; DJ, band/musician etc
    *Work on the invitations, work out how many people is she going to invite.Reckon about the invitation card, what is it going to look like? colors,paper type. Reckon about the wording invitations also
    *Reckon about the wedding cake, flowers
    *Send out the invitations at least 6-8 weeks before the wedding, if she’s inviting people from overseas, then she might have to send them out at least 4-5 months before the wedding. That will give them time to book the flight, take some time off work etc
