A wedding is usually one of the most memorable events in a woman’s lifetime. The bride is the central character of the occasion and the commitment everybody usually makes for the wedding is to realize her fantasies.
So, if you’re the bride-to-be, you certainly can treat your wedding as the perfect demonstration of your personal style and preferences, especially when it comes to the wedding party. The celebration after the ceremony is where all your specific preferences get displayed.
Therefore, for a beautiful execution, it’s crucial to devote a significant amount of time to organizing and planning. If you have a generous budget to work with, all the more that you need to plan carefully because that’s a huge investment for your satisfaction.
But, how exactly should you go about organizing a luxurious wedding? An in-demand team of professional wedding planners has a secret formula you can use.
5 Secrets to Planning a Luxury Wedding Party
1. Have your Pinterest boards
Pinterest is the social media platform for planning brides. It will allow you to gather all the wedding inspirations that you like—from the décor, the food, the different types of entertainment, the giveaways, etcetera. You can create different boards to better organize all the images and type in the details.
With Pinterest boards, you can provide clearer ideas on what you really want to your wedding planning team. This, then, will allow them to organize all inspirations better with you, establish a theme, and meet your requirements more accurately.
2. Meet with the parents regarding the wedding party
One of the biggest problems that couples always face is catering to the requirements of the family. Parents want to invite their own friends or relatives that the couple doesn’t even know. This can rake in unnecessary additional costs.
This is why it’s very important to have a serious meeting with the parents regarding the event. Stress what you want and how you’re going to secure the kind of event that is more meaningful and will make you happy. Prepare your spiel so you can express yourself freely in a respectful way.
3. Find opportunities to get more value for certain services
Additional features to wedding services are all the rage in the wedding industry. You don’t have to take advantage of them all, though; just choose the ones that align with your theme and your general requirements.
Afterward, discuss them with your wedding planner, especially if the special features come with wedding services that you may not be interested in. Work out a plan to get these perks for the services that you want. More often than not, with smart negotiation, vendors don’t mind acquiescing to a few changes with their package.
4. Get “luxury for less”
Enlist the help of your family and friends in finding good deals for your wedding party essentials. Making the wedding celebration as luxurious as possible doesn’t always need to be a bank-breaking effort. There are always areas that you can cut budget on without compromising quality or quantity – the key here is to be methodical in finding them.
For this, create a chat room where your family and friends can easily report the great deals they’ve found so you can check them out right away.
5. Implement smart tactics to make the event feel polished and sophisticated
One strategy to consider is to have two to three smaller bars than one large bar. This way, nobody has to wait for a long time just to get a glass of wine. Another is to consider the elements that take up time so a smooth flow can be created for the program, such as the dances, the toasts, and the different types of entertainment.
Think of savvy strategies to make everything flow beautifully because when a party has a smooth flow and everybody’s having fun, the event automatically just feels very luxurious.
Use these wedding party planning secrets to your best advantage. You can, then, rest assured that your wedding will feel as grand as you want it to be.
