3 tools to help plan your wedding in no time

With the pandemic slowly fading into the distance and the sun finally setting on the long, drawn-out wedding plans couples have had to endure over the past two years, many are now seeking to plan their big day quickly. Elopements and micro-weddings have become extremely popular, and couples are now choosing to spend less time between engagement and marriage. But how do you plan a wedding quickly?

Weddings are known for taking a good amount of time to plan – from getting the dress tailor-made to arranging for the perfect band many months in advance. Here are some tips that will help you get things done quicker, so you’ll be walking down the aisle in no time.

1. Set the tone of your wedding early

Rather than get bogged down in hundreds of different options, decide the vibe of your big day early on. Pinterest is one helpful place to look for different ideas. You might find you prefer an elopement on the beach somewhere in Europe, a rustic, outdoorsy style wedding in the forest, or even a pub lunch. Or you’ll find that a weekend-long extravaganza in a marquee outside a local castle is more your style. Once you’ve decided on the style of your big day, it’ll be much easier to select a venue, suppliers, and what to wear.

2. Stick to local venues and suppliers

It sounds simple, but when it comes to planning your wedding in no time, sticking to local venues and suppliers helps. You’ll be able to visit them and talk to someone in person rather than over the phone or the internet, and you’ll get a better idea of availability. Choosing live wedding bands at Tailored Entertainment is made easy thanks to its search engine feature. You can search for live wedding bands local to your area, for example, and narrow them down based on style and budget to find the perfect one for your big day.

3. Purchase your wedding apparel from an outlet store

Wedding dresses are notorious for taking a long time to come in after ordering them – and if you consider possible alterations, they may well take even longer. A wedding dress outlet or second-hand shop such as Bridal Reloved is an excellent choice for something you can take home the same day, avoiding those pesky months of waiting for your dress. The other advantage of choosing a pre-loved or outlet wedding gown is of course price, as all of these dresses will come at a much-discounted value when compared with brand-new designer dresses.

If you’re looking to plan your wedding quickly, you’ll find some great tips above. Best of all, having a short engagement doesn’t mean you’ll need to break the bank either. Either way, you’ll be able to have your dream day exactly the way you wanted.
