Organizing the perfect wedding step by step begins a few months before the big day. For things to follow the course of course, it is advisable to have a checklist through which you will pass in chronological order of what you have to do. As you sort things out of the list, check out your tasks and focus on what’s left. http://www.theweddingspecialist.co.za advises you to what you should include in the checklist for organizing the perfect wedding step by step:

10-12 months before the wedding

• First of all, set the civil wedding date and date of the wedding. Make sure your religious ceremony is not scheduled. First, check the religious calendar.
• Set your wedding budget and priorities. Try to make a list of expenses to get you an approximate idea of the total cost of the wedding.
• Search for organizational ideas. Online there are blogs for brides, social networks, wedding websites and magazines. All this is of real use in organizing your event.
• Set up a list of preliminary guests. Surely this will change over time, but each couple needs to know in advance whether they want a big or an intimate wedding.
• Choose godfathers and bridesmaids.
• Start looking for the perfect wedding location. When choosing a location, keep in mind the wedding style, the weather, but also the capacity of the reception hall. The price and menu are other criteria for selecting the desired location. Once you have found the perfect location for the ceremony and reception, sign the contract with the restaurant and book the church.
• If the wedding organization seems overwhelming, choose a professional wedding planner who can connect with all wedding vendors (photographers, cameramen, bridal salons, florists, etc.).

6 to 9 months before the wedding

• Take care of choosing your wedding dress or bridal suit.
• Order the wedding rings.
• After choosing a cameraman and a photographer, book the teams that will ensure the sound at the party.
• Book the florist and decorator.
• Find the right honeymoon destination in advance. The sooner you book and pay in advance, the more you will find a cheaper flight and accommodation offer. Check this
