The Perfect Wedding, Step 1

The perfect wedding starts with a bride and a groom. They themselves will not be perfect (who among us is?), but their ideas, style and thoughts toward their wedding day must be focused on as much as perfection as possible. After all, even though they may have mere weeks or many months to hire vendors, find the perfect venue, and purchase the proper wedding clothes, they have only one day to shine. 6-7 hours to show their guests a gracious and loving celebration. Kind of daunting when we put it like that, but it needn't be. Planning a wedding, no matter what the time frame should be an exciting adventure; a way to share your love with those that will be surrounding you on your special day.

Where do you start?

Step one is to make a list of everything that you want to include in your perfect day. Write down everything; from the type of dress you will be wearing to the type of Champagne you would like to serve at your reception. Write down the types of food that you want to serve; the kind of transportation that you would like to ride in, the type of pictures that you would like to look through on your coffee table when the day is finished, the guests that will be coming to share in your day; write it all down. In order to have a plan for the perfect day, you must first start to plan.

The average wedding in the United States is over $28,000! The average wedding in Iowa is over $26,300! I don't know about you, but when I am spending over $3700 per hour on one event, I'd better have plan and know just how my money will be spent.
