The type of wedding you
want to have is the basis for your wedding planning. The degree of
formality of your wedding will also be a factor in
determining the cost of your wedding. You should discuss and
develop a budget with your groom, your family, and his
family.
Your wedding is an expression of your
personality and that of your groom. There are a number of
factors that come into play when deciding on the type of
wedding you will have. You may decide you want to have a large,
formal wedding in a church or hotel and your groom wants a
small intimate affair at home or a small hall. Compromises will
have to be made.
It is rare that the bride, the groom, and the
families agree on every aspect of the wedding plan. You have to
allow yourself time to think through everything
involved in the wedding and plan it carefully to have the
wedding of your dreams.
When you think about the type of wedding you
want. These are personal choices such as the formality, the
color scheme, the theme, the music, the flowers, the cake, the
food, and the ceremony.
Many couples opt for the traditional wedding
which consists of a wedding party with a maid or matron of
honor, bridesmaids, best man, ushers, a flower girl, and a ring
bearer. Informal weddings have become popular. Informal does
not necessarily mean a small budget. It is informal due to its
flexibility in attire, location, number of guests, and
cuisine.
The decision of large or small, formal or
informal, or combination of various elements from the types of
weddings such as place, location, date and time, attire, number
of attendants, and so on should be agreed upon by you and the
groom. Your perfect and joyous occasion will be marred if you
can not agree on the essential elements of your wedding.
