The timeline and checklist below may help to crystallize your thinking. You may not want all the items on the list, but it is a good idea to consider each one you decide against it. Some items take time and can be difficult to re-insert once you opt out. One of the first decisions you must make in planning your wedding is choosing your desired wedding style. This decision will influence all other aspects of your celebration, such as the style of your wedding dress, the size, time, and location of the ceremony, your attendants' attire, the type of reception to follow the ceremony, and the invitation style.
Weddings range from the lavish ultra formal to the modest informal.
It is important to pick a style that will reflect your personality and maintain your budget.
