Wedding Checklist: 18 – 12 months before your Dream Wedding

The next item on your wedding checklist after you have established a wedding budget and completed the previous items on your wedding to do list is to select your wedding theme and colors.

When deciding on a color, you might want to choose your favorite color first and see how that looks – keeping in mind that the color you choose will carry through to other areas of your wedding.

Or you might want to choose a combination that goes together such as yellow and cream or black and white or green and blue.

The colors you choose will also be carried through to your wedding invitations and wedding favors.

Your wedding theme ties in closely with the style of your wedding – whether it’s formal, semi-formal, or even casual and informal.

Formal can be “dressed to the nines” with tuxedos with long tails and top hats for the men and long dresses for the women.

Semi-formal can be suits for the men and evening dresses for the women.

And casual can be as laid back as you want – from no ties or suit jackets to sandals or flip flops for a beach wedding.

Your theme will take some thought when planning a wedding.

It might be a beach theme.

Or it might be an intimate setting in a private mansion similar to what this bride did when she planned her amazing budget wedding – and saved an estimated $10,000 without making major sacrifices.

Or it might be what you always dreamed of – a glamorous, fairy tale wedding with all the stops pulled out that will be talked about for weeks to come.

It’s really up to you…and whether or not you’re planning a budget wedding.

Once you’ve decided on your theme and colors, note them down on your wedding checklist and let your mother and the mother of the groom know.
