Stop Stalling, Start Planning

Okay, the idea of planning an entire wedding in just 90 days can feel a bit overwhelming. However, here’s the key to a serene wedding: don’t procrastinate. The sooner you start with the prep, the better! 

Start by making a checklist of priority tasks, from picking on simple yet elegant wedding dresses to creating a guest list to booking vendors (don’t worry—we have the list below; keep reading!). 

There’s no need to juggle a million things simultaneously; tackle one task at a time! Remember, procrastination won’t help you, but a clear plan will.

Set a Budget and Stick to It

Start with the most important aspect—setting a realistic budget! Honestly, you don’t want to spend the next few years of your marriage paying off the debt. Keep your budget tight and focused. 

Keep the maximum amount for big-ticket items like venue, decor, catering, and accommodations, and then set aside funds for smaller essentials like accessories, invitations, etc. 

Remember, staying within your budget will take a huge weight off your shoulders, eventually giving you less anxiety! 

Lock Down Your Venue Quickly

Select your wedding venue as early as possible. Find a place that fits your vision and budget and is ideally available within your short timeline. The goal is to fix a place so that you can start building your iconic wedding around it. 

Pick Your Dreamy Gown

Coming to the most exciting part of any wedding—selecting your gorgeous wedding gown! Picking on the dress ASAP grants you enough time for customizations, accessory selection, fittings, etc. 

Whether you desire to create your own wedding dress or are eyeing buying new wedding dresses, there’s no limit to making your bridal look as unique as your love story. 

And the most important aspect—don’t forget to book our professional wedding dress cleaning session in advance to keep your dress looking as good as brand new. We employ the best-of-best SYSTMK4 Fabric Cleaning technology to remove even the most rebellious stains from your gown! 

Result: A fresh, spotless gown ready to be worn again! 

Opt for Digital Invites

Save yourself from the hassle of crafting complicated invites. To stay on track within a short timeframe, opt for digital invites or DIY printed versions. Sites like Canva can help you design something beautiful without spending days on the details. 

Create Your Core Wedding Day Team

Having a trustworthy, efficient wedding team of vendors by your side is key to keeping everything on track. In a tight timeline, you cannot afford to have anyone bail on you at the last minute, so carefully pick vendors who are professional and readily available. 

Photographer: Capturing the Magic!

Check out the work of a few trusted photographers and book the one you find the most capable of capturing lovely shots, whether candid or planned. 

Caterer: Prepping the Wedding Feast!

Considering your budget, look for a caterer who is an expert in making easy yet crowd-pleasing options to keep each one of your guests happy and content. Buffet-style or small food stations can be easier to organize in a short time frame. So, keep it simple, but scrumptious. 

Decorator: Ambiance that Dazzles!

Keep the decor minimal. Think of adding only one or two statement pieces like a mesmerizing arch or pretty table centerpieces. Doing so can transform the space without requiring a massive setup. So, look for a decorator who knows how to work quickly but excellently.

DJ: Hook to the Entertainment!

Music is a must for any celebrations! And when it’s a wedding, you definitely want to keep the party going all night, right? So, look for a DJ who knows well how to entertain the crowd and keep the vibe going. 

Keep the Guest List Intimate

When you are short on time, think of inviting only those people who are really close to you and your fiance. Keep your guest list to a manageable number because it might be very stressful and chaotic to make arrangements for such a big crowd in a short period. 

Moreover, having your loved ones around on such a magnificent day creates an atmosphere of bliss and togetherness, making each moment worth living! 

From Head to Toe: Your Bridal Beauty Checklist

Now, it’s time to put some limelight on you, gorgeous! You will be the show’s star, so looking show-stopping while saying “I DO” to the man of your dreams is a must. 

For that, book a skilled makeup artist and hair stylist who can bring your envisioned bridal look to life. If possible, squeeze in a trial session so you can experiment with different looks and convey exactly what you want.

Also, remember to book a nail appointment so that you can flaunt those flawless nails on the D-DAY! 

Arranging Accommodations and Conveyance

When planning a wedding in under three months, reserve convenient, relaxing accommodations for your guests close to your venue beforehand. Look for hotels or local rental homes that keep both comfort and cost in mind. 

To make the day stress-free for everyone, arrange for convenient conveyance options, like shuttles or ride-share services, from accommodations to the wedding venue and back. 

This way, everyone can enjoy your big day without worrying about where they’ll rest or how they will commute after the celebration concludes!
