Planning a wedding at the best of times can be a rather strange experience, whether it is a large event or a small ceremony, and it can be overwhelming for any couple who have never been involved in wedding planning before. But when it comes to planning a wedding in the capital city of London, it can be even more daunting as there are some amazing venues to choose from that provide a stunning London backdrop, and an even wider choice of catering, flowers, music, and photography available. But if this is where you decide to have your ceremony, you will need to be completely organised to help you start with the planning.
London is one of the most expensive places in the UK for any type of ceremony, so the first thing to do would be to set yourself a budget and prioritise. The majority of your money will be spent on the venue and reception itself, so start looking into different places and compare quotes. A lot of places can get booked up very quickly- up to a year in advance- and places of worship often have restricted dates and times so you will need to organise this first. If the venue is to be held in a different place than the ceremony, make sure that all of your guests can easily travel there and that they know the way. If you are planning an outdoor party to enjoy London’s beautiful views, then do make sure that there is an alternative site available in case of poor weather.
If you are planning your wedding with just yourself and a few friends or family members, it can still be difficult to know exactly what needs doing. An excellent way of doing this is to be completely organised so write yourself a list and start from the top- ideal date, ceremony, venue, and entertainment, right down to the colour of your dress and the buttonholes. Once you have confirmed the date and times of the ceremony and venue, send out your invitations. You may find that some people step forward when replying to share their wedding stories and so give you further ideas.
Couples are choosing more and more exciting venues to tie the knot when it comes to London, from the Tower Bridge to the London Eye, the Queen Mary ship and Alexandra Palace. By choosing an iconic London place to get married, it is a great way of showing off to any relatives that are coming from abroad, and will provide you with some truly beautiful wedding photographs to look back on. Ask what your friends and family would make of this and include them in the planning, especially if they are contributing financially. You may also want to consider that just because you have found the perfect venue, will they cater for your every needs? Do not sign any contracts until you have seen and sampled everything to avoid disappointment on the big day, and don’t be afraid to say if you are not happy with anything. And above all, enjoy every minute of it!
