Yeah, you've officially booked your venue and your wedding date! Congratulations, that is a huge check mark on the "to do" list! What do you do next? Well, often times after a venue search things
can be left very scrambled in your head.
But please don’t start overwhelming yourself by jumping ahead…let’s
start with your foundation.
1.) Confirm what’s included.
Read thru your venue notes and your
contract. Make a list of everything
that’s included with your venue. What do
the chairs look like for the ceremony, what about the reception? What type of existing furniture does the
venue already have in place? What type
of linens are included? Are they lap
length or floor length? What colors do they come in? What about napkins? Does the venue offer any type of centerpiece
options? What about vases? Do they offer candles? Uplights?
What are the table options? Really understand everything that is
included and everything that is not included, before you move forward with any
of your décor decisions.
2.) Decide on Your Colors
Really consider your venue, the
season, and your overall personal style.
It’s important that your colors work with
your venue and not against it. It’s important to consider the season due
to weather and your floral options. And
of course you’ll definitely what your colors to reflect you and the style that
speak to you.
3.) Select Your Linens
Start by choosing your linens. This will be helpful for you do even before
selecting your bridesmaid’s dresses or invitations. Decide on whether or not you’d like to use the
linens that are provided by the venue of if you’d like to upgrade to specialty
linens. Linens make a HUGE impact on the
overall look of your reception, and the options are endless. I recommend making an appointment with a
rental company to visit their showroom in person. Once you’ve selected your linens, your
foundation for your reception will be laid and you can then begin building on
top of it with all the other beautiful layers (floral, beautiful menus and
paper products, and candlelight.)
