If the year 2021 has taught us anything, it’s that weddings on a budget are easier to manage than ever before. This is because couples are increasingly turning towards more intimate weddings in lieu of large grandiose affairs that only end up costing the bride and groom more. So if you’re planning a wedding on a budget, cuts such as omitting lavish centrepieces or extravagant entertainment can be made without losing out on quality when you choose an intimate wedding with close family and friends – as well as without alienating your guests by cutting corners while they’re there!
One way to ensure that everything goes smoothly on the day is by enlisting help from friends who are willing to assist in planning your wedding – like personal assistants for example who can act as organizers or go-betweens during your big day. Luckily, things aren’t as complicated or restricted as they are in some other parts of the world (or other countries in general). But that doesn’t give you the freedom to throw caution to the wind and forget about all the essential aspects of planning your ideal day! So to help you stay on planning for an upcoming winter wedding season, use this basic selection by TCC Events below:
Sanitisers and Precautionary Equipment
To keep germs at bay during the pandemic, families across the globe must maintain proper cleanliness to ensure that whoever remains unaffected by illness is able to continue living their lives as per normal. And of course, weddings are no exception! That’s why anyone planning a wedding needs to plan and purchase sanitization equipment. This includes standing stations for the entrance of your venue and smaller bottles for each table in order to ensure that guests are able to clean both their hands and surfaces wherever they use them. Basically, it will help ensure that you aren’t causing further harm if people who might already be ill attend your event!
Planning of the Venue
When it comes to winter weddings, consider the convenience of your guests. Many may not be as accustomed to handling wintertime weather while out in the evening or late afternoon. Thus, one should choose a venue that is conveniently located, such as hotels and larger resorts that usually have indoor ballrooms available. On the other hand, many couples enjoy picking locations that are ideally suited for both daytime and nighttime functions like garden weddings; simply prepare with additional ice buckets for the bar and make sure you coordinate with venue staff about their cleaning processes.
Check with Your Wedding Vendors
Are you sure that your planners are taking the necessary precautions? Are your caterers being as careful as possible while preparing food for the guests at your wedding? Will the decorators put in all of their effort to follow each and every one of the rules related specifically to sanitizing? Have alterations been done on time? Is your makeup artist aware of how they should avoid coming into contact with other people more so than usual? It is important that you communicate with vendors well so as not to mistakenly make them think any protocol regarding social distancing or sanitizing is being overlooked. Your suppliers may even find it necessary to remind themselves of certain rules/protocols in a way that helps them better plan out their schedule during this crucial time. There could be potential confusion otherwise and this could eventually lead to inconveniences on the wedding day if things aren’t communicated clearly enough.
Plan Your Travel
One concern that wedding planners have with these types of celebrations is the need for travel. You see, you have to account for the guest list and determine how many people will actually be coming and from where which is going to dictate the travel distance among other things. A smaller guest list or those who are travelling from out-of-town can make your travel planning easier but there are still many factors you’ll have to take into consideration when planning your transportation; including train ridership, parking proximity and traffic hours versus stop duration.
Wedding Guest List
A wedding can be a sacred union between two people – and it’s one of the most special events of your life. We know you don’t want to cut any guests from the guest list. But even if two people are getting married, there are some considerations that need to be taken into account about your guest list! With the limit of guests given by the government, invite the people who are important and close to you and your partner. Not only that, colours should play a big part in planning your wedding – think about what colours go best together or what colour scheme is appropriate for the kind of setting you would like (e.g. Winter or Summer). You may also want to think about costuming – especially for those who will be performing on stage. Make sure each member of the troupe has their own, unique performance wardrobe that represents their personality and also fits them well so they can easily move around and show off their moves during performances!
Dedicated Spaces
When you’re planning your own wedding, having an area where you can get ready for the ceremony with minimal messy interference is key. Unless you want loads of people in your room while you’re getting dressed or add all their items on top of your dress, it’s unlikely that anyone sane would want a suit and other belongings to drag around on your wedding day! So make sure there’s a designated space that only those closest to you have access to on the big day so they can pop in and assist when needed, but doesn’t hinder the organization involved with completing your ‘look’!
Keep a Backup Plan
It’s important to go for a backup plan depending upon the situation. You may have an “all-or-nothing” attitude in business, but you can’t take any chances. Even something as small as inclement weather during your outdoor wedding event can turn the whole event into chaos if you don’t have an alternate solution for it at the ready. Situations like your caterer not being able to make it to your wedding or something spoiling your wedding attire are similarly stressful. Make sure to ask yourself, “What if?” before everything happens instead of panicking after something bad has already happened!
