1. Set a budget
Before you get started, you’ll need to determine your overall budget. This will help guide all of your decisions and ensure that you don’t overspend.

2. Consider wedding insurance
If you are forced to cancel your wedding day plans unexpectedly you may lose any monies paid to venues or service vendors, such as caterers or florists. Wedding insurance helps protect your investment and will enable you to get reimbursed for such expenses (policy terms and conditions apply). However, wedding insurance usually will only cover expenses paid after the policy was taken out, therefore the earlier you purchase your wedding insurance policy the more costs are likely to be covered. The best advice is to always check the policy wording fully before making any insurance purchase.

3. Choose a venue
The venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, as it will determine the size, style, and atmosphere of your wedding. Be sure to choose a place that will accommodate all of your guests.

4. Pick a date
Pick a date that is at least six months in advance. This will give you enough time to plan and ensure that your guests can make it.

5. Invite guests
Start creating your guest list early on. This will give you an idea of how many people to expect and make it easier to plan the rest of your wedding.

6. Choose a theme
The theme of your wedding can set the tone for the entire event. Think about the style, colours, and decorations you would like to use.

7. Find vendors
Find vendors such as caterers, florists, and DJs that can help make your wedding a success. Be sure to read reviews and get referrals before making any decisions.

8. Create a timeline
Create a timeline for the wedding planning process. This will help you stay organised, control your budget and expenditure, and ensure that everything is taken care of in a timely manner.

9. Make a seating chart
A seating chart will help you organize your guests and ensure that everyone is comfortable.

10. Prepare a programme
A wedding programme will let your guests know what to expect throughout the night.
