Throughout preparing for your wedding, you will talk to many people about what you should have with you on the day, what you should do, what you are supposed to do a week before, a month before, or maybe six months in advance. All the information can be gathered in all sorts of lists, checklists, and other notes.
Even so, sometimes our organizational skills are not enough, as we all seem to forget some things. Although our team highly encourages you to hire a wedding planner, sometimes the money just isn’t there. With that being said, follow up with your Charleston wedding rentals the week before your wedding to ensure everything is set and the proper tables and chairs will be delivered to your venue.
Though they may seem easier to control and organize, non-traditional weddings are still quite rare, and many prefer the tradition and ceremony of the big event. A traditional approach implies, in many circumstances, a structured wedding plan or, if you do not possess such skills or the time, a professional wedding organizer. This magical person and his/her team will basically let you enjoy the moment of your life without the nasty troubles and awful stress that may come throughout the planning.
The list below is not mandatory at all but simply a good reference point, especially when your experience is limited. And, above all, it reflects big picture items and some basic facts applicable to many successful traditional weddings.
The Venue
You know who you’re marrying – Now the real question is where and when? The scheduling of a venue used to be pretty simple; however, COVID made this process extremely complicated, and our team is certain it will continue to be backlogged for the next two years. Choosing the venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The location affects almost everything from how many people you invite to what kind of flowers are on the table.
Chances are, it’s also going to be the biggest chunk out of your budget. This is why it is imperative to explore all options, visit all available, and ultimately select a place that fits your guest count, style, and budget. Lastly, you will need to select table and chair rentals Charleston SC if your venue does not supply these items. Locate a local rental company in the Charleston area and select the style that fits your taste and budget.
Get-Away Car
Last but certainly not least don’t forget to enjoy the process. You only get married once or maybe twice 🙂 Remind yourself and your significant other that stressing over the process will not help! Instead concentrate on booking items as early as possible such as a cool wedding car rental as you wave goodbye to your friends and family post wedding. There is nothing swaggier than a vintage get-away car pulling away from the wedding venue as the sparklers are flying!
Food & Beverage
What’s a party without food and tasty cocktails? No matter what type of wedding food you’re envisioning and what type of drinks you want to offer (a full bar, a few signature cocktails, or just beer and wine), we have the advice and inspiration you need to choose the best offerings for your big day.
To get an idea about what your guests would like to eat, send options in your wedding invitations, and give your caterer an accurate count. Whether you want to include classics like chicken or beef, or serve up something unique like vegan burgers, these wedding food ideas are sure to impress your guests.
As mentioned, the list above is not mandatory at all but simply a good starting point for your wedding day, especially when your experience is limited in planning. Above all, remember to enjoy the process and the overall day with your significant other. Your friends and family can’t wait to see you smile and maybe cry, a lot!
