One of the first steps in planning your wedding is setting a realistic budget. Determine how much you are willing to spend and allocate funds to different aspects of the wedding, such as venue, catering, attire, and decorations. Starting early allows you to secure the best vendors and negotiate better deals.
A detailed timeline is essential for keeping track of tasks and deadlines. Begin by setting your wedding date and work backward, assigning specific tasks to each month or week. Having a clear timeline ensures that you don’t overlook any important details. Our wedding planner checklist looks at your journey from 12 months before, ensuring plenty of time for planning!
Surround yourself with reliable and experienced professionals. Whether it’s a wedding planner, photographer, caterer, or florist, choose vendors who understand your vision and can bring it to life. Ask for recommendations from friends and family or consult Bride&co’s curated list of trusted wedding service providers.
Be selective when asking asking friends and family to help- curate a small team of people that you trust to help guide your decisions and help brainstorm ideas- just make sure you don’t have to many cooks in your Dream Team kitchen!
The venue sets the tone for your wedding day. Consider your budget, guest list, and desired ambiance when selecting a venue. From elegant ballrooms to picturesque outdoor locations, South Africa offers a wide range of options to suit every couple’s style and preferences.
Infuse your wedding with your unique personalities and love story. Incorporate personal touches like handwritten vows, customized decor, and meaningful music choices. Your wedding should reflect who you are as a couple and create a memorable experience for you and your guests.
Your wedding attire is a focal point of the day. Browse through Bride&co’s stunning collection of bridal gowns, suits, bridesmaid dresses, and accessories. Schedule fittings well in advance and make sure to choose a dress that makes you feel confident and beautiful.

These details add an extra touch of elegance and ensure a cohesive look for your love story throughout your wedding day.
