Planning a wedding can be overwhelming. As the bride or the groom, you’ll have to make about a hundred decisions yet you’re still constantly terrified of forgetting any of the most important aspects of your big day.
To simplify your wedding planning and make sure that you don’t miss anything, here are five things that you absolutely must plan for.
Wedding Budget
Budget is a significant consideration when planning a big event like a wedding. It matters to know exactly how much you can spend on each part of the event. It may sound uncomfortable to sit with both your families to talk about how much they can contribute to the wedding expenses, but this is a smart thing to do. Knowing exactly how much money you have in the purse will allow you to plan your wedding with better precision.

Wedding Dates
The moment you say "yes" to your partner's wedding proposal, your family and many of your friends will begin asking when the wedding will be. Don’t let the insistent questioning pressure you into hastily picking a date. There are other matters that you need to consider first, like the wedding venue.
Usually, the average period of engagement for couples is 14 to 15 months. Within this duration, you should work on a systematic plan. A timetable will also help you organise the different preparations you need to settle along the way.
Wedding Venue
Envision your perfect wedding and its vibe.
Do you want to tie the knot by the beach with your toes buried in the sand or in a garden surrounded by waiving colours and scents of various flowers?
Do you want to say "I do" in front of a large audience or do you prefer only the closest of your family and friends to witness the exchange?
Would you like it indoors or outdoors? Modern, classic, romantic, fancy, casual? Do you want the reception in the same place as the ceremony?
Asking yourself these questions will help you decide on a venue for your big day. And at no other place on the Gold Coast can you find better wedding services than at Tamborine Gardens.

Wedding Guest List
Compiling and finalising the guest list is a complicated part of wedding planning because guests can affect your budget and choice of venue. Being honest about the people that you really want to be there will help you achieve a wedding that you can truly be happy with. So sit down with your partner, and other key family members if needed, to decide. Put every name on paper to make sure you don’t forget anyone you decided to invite and to avoid conflict.
Creating your guest list on a spreadsheet can also help you keep track of everyone after you’ve started sending out the invites.
Wedding Vendors
Wedding vendors pertain to the different people or teams that will provide the products or services needed for the wedding. Dress designers, entertainers, photographers, caterers, florists, etc. Finding the right ones will help you achieve the exact vision for your big day.
Admittedly, it’s a lot of work to find a wedding vendor for each product or service. This is when a wedding planner comes in handy. Or you can look for venues that offer an all-in-one service like Tambourine Gardens!
