If you’ve been to a few weddings or even organized your own wedding, you’re familiar with the little things and inconveniences that brides and grooms commit, willingly or unwillingly. Although they do not spoil the impression of the event, they can greatly affect the bride’s mood. Come up with a plan in case it rains, book a hall and invite guests on time, don’t forget about timing – we at Fasol have compiled a list of mistakes, knowledge of which will make preparations for the banquet much easier.
If you only want to see close people next to you, do not send invitations to relatives you do not know personally. The style of the event is also up to you. A common wedding mistake would be to follow traditions that you don’t understand the meaning of, or to get married in a church when you don’t feel like it. It’s sad when, instead of a unique wedding that you can remember with pride, you experience a standard wedding – one like thousands of others.
Another mistake when preparing for a wedding is a lack of planning. You need to decide in advance what you can afford. And only after that book a wedding location, buy outfits and look for contractors such as a wedding host. Otherwise, due to the imbalance in the cost of the banquet, there is a risk that you will no longer be able to afford a honeymoon. And also because of the dress, which was specially made by a famous designer, the duration of the photo shoot is reduced by half. To avoid problems, plan the entire amount in advance, taking into account even the little things. Smaller expenses can add up to a large sum.
Organising an event is a long process made up of little things. You need to find a wedding host (Tamada), photographer, decorator and chef. You also have to take care of the transfer of guests from the registry office to the wedding location. You decorate the premises, serve the guests and prepare festive dishes. If the bride and groom take care of all these issues themselves, they simply don’t have time for themselves. Instead of dancing and accepting congratulations, you need to make sure everyone has enough drinks and food and that the event runs on time.
Delegation of tasks will solve the problem. For example, most questions can be forwarded to the catering company. Specialists create and coordinate the menu, deliver the products to the venue, decorate the hall and organize an enchanting show.
A mistake that can ruin the entire wedding celebration is shifting all services onto the shoulders of close relatives and friends. You shouldn’t trust your stylist friend to do your hair, your sister to do the photography because she has a Nikon camera, and your mom to do the cooking. A completely self-organised event will not go smoothly. It is better to spend money on professional services and be sure that the makeup will be perfect, the photos will decorate the album, and the dishes on the banquet table will delight the palate, smell and look.
Hoping that wedding planning can be postponed until the last month is the biggest misconception of newlyweds. Perfect wedding locations are fully booked 6-12 months before the celebration. The same also applies to the best service providers such as the wedding presenter and photographer. The queue for seamstresses sometimes lasts several months. Resolve any issues in advance. Even catering companies need 2-3 days to put together an event they can be proud of. If you are not used to being content with leftovers, do not neglect this rule.
The main mistake at a wedding can be an outdoor buffet if you don’t provide coverage in case of rain. A lovely picnic can be ruined by a random cloud, so don’t skimp on tents, awnings and umbrellas for your guests. It’s better to spend money on things that have no use than to end up in an unpleasant situation that could derail the party.
The other side of the same coin is adapting to the weather. If the wedding takes place in winter, make sure you have a fur coat and warm shoes that match the bride’s outfit. And take a spare pair with you to the photoshoot. Not every woman can wear high heels all day. A bride’s mistake would also be a long veil – such an outfit looks very beautiful at a wedding. But it’s not practical. It’s good if the veil is removable. Then save your guests from wearing a dress and worrying about keeping your outfit clean while you walk around town.
We hope that these mistakes will not occur when planning your wedding. But always remember: Fasol is here to help and advise you if you have any questions. Get in touch with us and we will help you put together a wonderful wedding celebration with an incredible show program.
