Set your budget
Step number one in organizing a perfect wedding starts with finances and the budget at your disposal. It is key to be realistic at this point. This step will dictate the flow of the rest of the wedding planning process. It would be advisable to make a draft of all the essential wedding aspects and to research their costs. These will depend on the things you wish to have on your big day. You should give it some time. Modify it along the way and when you think you have it finalized, review it with your partner.
It often happens that our expenses exceed the budget we have. In that case, what you can do is prioritize your wedding day wish list. The list would include absolutely necessary things, things that would be nice to have, and things that you can live without. That will help you reduce the costs and have a more financially manageable wedding. Remember that there are also things that are not connected directly to the wedding, but they are to all the wedding preparation. For example, beautifying your smile with some teeth whitening. Or straightening your misaligned teeth with Invisalign aligners would be some things you should designate money for.

First, think back to some weddings that you have attended so far. Reexamine if there was some that you liked especially due to their location. If there isn’t, you can move to the next step.
