    Preparation a wedding is soo stressful! I had to plot mine in doubtless 4 months. Here is a list of things you would need to make sure you have done.

    - plants for you, bridesmaids, flowers girl, and flowers for the men’s tuxes
    - A reception hall
    - Wedding favors
    - If your decorating the reception hall, you will need flowers for there or a touch you would like on each table
    - If getting married in a church, make sure you have the date picked with them and see how much you wil need to give the officiant.
    - DJ or Band
    - Make sure to send out Save the Date cards about 4 months before the wedding and then the invitations a month before the wedding.
    - Make sure your dress fits and have no stains, or tears in it
    - Pick songs out for the wedding and reception
    - Order the cake ahead of time and make sure to get the cake topper
    - Transportation for after the wedding

    I reckon that is basically all. It all depends on what kind of wedding you are having. If your having a formal wedding, catholic wedding, casual wedding…it all pretty much goes with the kind of weding your having. I hope I helped out abit! And Congrats!! Excellent luck with preparation, its a pain, but in the end its all worth it!!

    Gowns (marriage, maid of honour, flower girl dresses), tuxes (flowers that go in pockets or sashes)

    flowers

    pictures (during ceremony, after ceremony, reception)

    music (for wedding AND reception)

    church or JP? (payment for them)

    Invitations to wedding AND reception (how many guests)

    Food items for reception, wine, beer, drinks, snacks, midnight luncheon (do you need a ticket for the alcohol???)

    Gifts for all the people caught up (maid of honours, best men, musicians, caterors, volunteers for the beer/wine venue, mother-in-laws, flower decorators, hall decorators, any volunteers at all)

    Reserve the place where the reception will be held

    Don’t forget about your vows (if you’re making your own)

    Who’s going to help clean it up??? Who’s going to help set it up??? Church and hall

    How is the reception going to be served??? Line up? Everyone sitting down? Head table has their own food?

    Cake? Homeade? Real or fake? Utensiils???

    Gift opening day….day after? Day of the wedding?

    Thank you letters for the gifts! Do it within 2 months or the people start getting fuming
