Wedding Planning List

You are engaged, congratulations!

Beginning the task of planning your dream wedding may seem daunting at first but we have created a list of important first steps to help get you started.

1) DREAM DESTINATION

Whether you dreamed of getting married on a beach in a tropical climate or in a fairytale castle amidst the rolling, romantic green hills of the Emerald Isle, choosing your destination should be your first port of call. Your destination and venue will affect the overall look and feel of your wedding day, from stationery design to your wedding gown so take your time to explore the many different options available to you.

2) YOUR WEDDING PLANNER

Choosing the right destination wedding planner is essential to ensuring that your overall wedding experience is seamless and perfect in every way. Make sure that when choosing your planner, you research their work, view their portfolio, speak with their former clients if possible and don't be afraid to have an interview process.

3) THE WEDDING VENUE

Choosing your wedding venue is an exciting and very important decision. Do you like old-world grandeur, modern opulence or rustic chic? Make sure to factor in ceremony locations, dining options and guest experiences along with the overall feel and atmosphere when you arrive. If you remain true to your style and aesthetic then choosing your venue will come easily. Read more here about some of our favourite luxury wedding venues.

4) THE GOWN

Although this point comes number four on our wedding planning list, we have no doubt that searching for a dress will be one of the very first things that most Brides will do! Take your time to browse as many sites and magazines as possible so that you can have idea what style of dress you might be open to. Whether purchasing off the rack or creating a custom gown with a designer, your dress should make you feel beautiful, unique and happy.

5) CAPTURING MEMORIES

There are a huge amount of photography and videography styles to choose from for your wedding day and it can be hard to know what style suits you best. We recommend trusting in your wedding planner to guide you in making your decision. They are highly experienced in working with many talented and trusted vendors and will be able to quickly identify the perfect match for you.
