Your Wedding - Getting Started

After selecting the right mate it is time to get serious about the style of your wedding and its location. The two will go hand-in-hand. As a bride, you may have been envisioning a certain style or location since you were 10 years old. If this is still your dream, discuss it with your fiance to see how he feels about your thoughts.

Selecting the style of your wedding can begin with one of two elements - the venue or the theme. You may have no idea where you'd like to have your wedding but you have always known that you would like to host it on a beach. Or, you may have always known that you want to get married at your little church down the street.

A unique venue such as the beach, a museum, or your backyard dictates your theme and begins to direct the style. The beach and your backyard are more casual environments than a church or a museum. You will need to keep the style of your venue in mind as you make your other selections. Each element should work with the other.

On the other hand, maybe you have a theme in mind, such as a hoedown-style wedding. This will whittle your venue options since it will rule out locations not suited to an event so casual. The theme you have in mind might not be as limiting. Perhaps your theme is an all white, elegant ceremony and reception. This too, will direct your venue selection but to a much lesser degree.

Which ever you choose to begin with - the venue or the theme - make sure that it reflects the personality and interests of you and your fiance . . . that's what will make it memorable for the two of you as well as those in attendance.
