Even if you are sticking to a budget for your wedding, some elements are worth splashing out on if you want your big day to be a memorable and special occasion. To ensure that you have no regrets once the vows have been said and the honeymoon has been taken, here are some of the elements of your wedding that are worth every penny.
Although you might be careful when it comes to the trimmings, the venue will form the basis of your wedding. Without a good venue, you might find that your guests are rushing home before the end of the night. You want to find a venue with friendly staff who make you feel cared for and which offers you little extras that can make your day stand out. It is also important that you look at the catering options that the venue in question provides and that you look at reviews to check that others were able to enjoy the fairytale wedding that they envisioned there. This means that you should take your time to look at many of the different wedding reception venues that are available to find one that is spacious, beautiful, and in an excellent location for both you and all your guests.
There is nothing worse than looking back at your wedding photos with disappointment, especially since there is nosecond chance to get stunning photos that you will treasure forever. The photos that are taken can capture and unlock memories and are a physical representation of your big day that you can show your loved ones in the future. This means that you should be wary when it comes to hiring a wedding photographer. You should find an experienced photographer with an extensive portfolio of weddings just like yours. Every photographer is different, though, and will take photos of your wedding in their unique style. You might opt for a photographer who uses a documentary or film-like style or someone who simply takes the classic images that you might already associate with weddings.
Often, the wedding reception is more for your guests than you and your spouse. By the evening, you might be desperate just to enjoy some alone time with your new husband or wife. This means that you should consider splashing out on entertainment that can keep your guests occupied and can ensure that they leave your party in a good mood, having had an enjoyable evening and making fantastic memories in your honour. You might choose traditional wedding entertainment like a band or a disco, or you might find out-of-the-boxalternatives like games, photo booths, or even a murder mystery-style event. These could help your wedding stick in your guests’ memories more than any other wedding that they have been to.
The ring forms an important part of the ceremony and is an item of jewellery that will stay on your finger and represent your marriage for the rest of your life. This means that you should not try to save money on this ring as you need to pick an option that both you and your spouse are happy with and that matches any style of clothing that you might wear in the decades to come.
