Discover the secrets to planning your dream wedding, just like the stars do.
From the latest trends set by newlyweds to iconic celebrity weddings that have inspired timeless fashion, beauty, and lifestyle choices, here are five insider tips to make your special day shine like a celebrity affair.
1. Plan on the destination: Pick a destination that resonates with your story as a couple. A crucial first step in choosing an exotic destination like a beach, forest or a Palace location is to confirm it has good flight connectivity for your guests, and the time of year you have in mind is suitable. Picking the right venue(s) within that destination is also important; ensure they can accommodate your intended guest count and are flexible enough for the designing of each wedding event. Once you have those checked off, secure your special dates and lock it in advance to start creating your dream wedding!
2. Curate the big as well as the small: While current trends are great to seek inspiration from, make sure that the big and small details of your wedding reflect you and your partner’s personality and union. So, from the invites, to the décor, the menus and cocktails, to the wardrobe, the entertainment, to the thank you gifts– try and create a connection. Blend your cultural traditions with the trends that you like and create a dream wedding with personalised touches where everyone is made to feel welcome and get to know you a little better, at the same time!
4. Food and entertainment: The most talked about aspects of any wedding are the food and entertainment experiences. Curate the menu thoughtfully to include an optimal mix of new age food but also a healthy dose of comfort and recognisable foods. Draw inspiration from the destination and include regional specials, and also from the cultural influences of the communities that the bride and the groom belong to.
5. Finally– have a great time: Employing a capable and professional wedding planner ensures that the bride, groom and immediate family get to enjoy themselves and don’t have to stress about the wedding one bit. A wedding is about celebrating your love and union, so keep that in mind if things get overwhelming. It is important that you take in every moment and radiate through the ceremony, so leave all the stress and running around to the wedding planning team, and ensure you are paired with a capable “day-off” personal assistant that you and the immediate family have chemistry with! It is a joyful occasion to dance, let loose, and celebrate your love with the people who matter to you most.
