Find Your Wedding Vision!
Define your wedding vision in this blog:
Your Wedding Size
Firstly, your wedding size is an important part of defining your wedding vision. Eventually, you will hone in this number as you get further into planning. In the meantime, you just want a general idea. So, answer the following questions to figure out the ideal wedding size for you.
- Can you imagine an intimate wedding with 60 close friends and family?
- Are you envisioning a micro wedding with 10 immediate family members?
- Do you want to invite everyone you have ever met, including your second grade teacher and your mailman? Then, that may put you closer to a 300 person wedding.
Wedding Location
Next, you want to think about the general location of where you want to get married. It doesn’t have to be too specific, but where are you picturing you and your partner tying the knot?
- Is it on a beautiful beach?
- Do you imagine a local church in your hometown?
- Maybe an international destination wedding in Italy?
Your Wedding Must-Haves
Without a doubt, an important thing to consider is what I call your wedding must-haves. These are specific features that you could not imagine getting married without. When you’re developing your wedding vision, these are important so you can find a venue that has everything you need.
- Do you hate being sweaty? Then, your must-have could be an indoor space with air conditioning.
- Are you so excited to invite your 98 year old grandma? Your must-have might be an accessible and comfortable space for her.
- Did you imagine getting glammed up with all your bridesmaids? Your must-have may be a spacious and beautiful getting ready area at your venue.
Wedding Season
Finally, let’s talk about wedding season. Right now is not the time to decide your exact wedding date, but think about what time of year you imagine marrying your partner. This is important because some seasons are more popular than others, and you’ll want to know how early to book your venue if it’s a popular time of year.
- Is there a time of year that is very meaningful to you as couple?
- Do you love the idea of a winter wonderland?
- Can you imagine yourself being comfortable in the summer heat?
