10 Hacks For Planning Your Wedding

Your partner has just proposed to you. Congratulations! But now it’s time to think about what you’re going to do to tie the knot. That can be a very daunting task. After all, there’s much more to planning a wedding than gathering one or two witnesses together and saying your vows to each other in a church. You’ve got to plan everything from the venue, the dress, the reception, to even the little details like décor, colors, and themes. Don’t worry; thousands of couples have been where you are now, and if you ask around, you might find some helpful hacks that can help you out. Of course, that can be time-consuming, so we at Cut Pro Media have compiled a list of 10 hacks to help you plan your wedding.

1. Trust A Wedding Planner

One of the best things you can do is trust a wedding planner to help you plan your wedding. Of course, some services are a little more expensive than others, but if you do your research and ask the right questions, just like your dress, you’ll find the perfect one to help you. They’ll not only do the legwork, but they’ll make sure that every part of your wedding is to your taste.

2. Consult Wedding Magazines

One of the best sources for ideas is wedding magazines. These guys are experts in the wedding industry, and they will have lots of tips and tricks that can help you make the right decisions for your wedding. So, you don’t need to go scouring the internet to find the right suppliers. Looking for a local florist to design your wedding? Need to find a last-minute dress? Don’t worry; these magazines, blogs, and websites have you covered. They’ll not only recommend what’s on-trend, but they’ll also list out suppliers who might be within your budget. It’s as easy as that!

3. Have A Pinterest Board/Mood Board

When it comes to editing recorded footage, you may have hours of footage that you need to go through before adding it to your music video. Of course, the amateur way to edit is to drag each recording to your timeline and edit it down to the clip you want. Save yourself the headache by viewing your footage in preview mode and selecting the “in” point (where the clip you want should start) and the “out” point (where you want the clip to end). It’s as simple as that. That way, when the time comes to start putting your video together, you don’t need to scroll through hours of footage, just drag and drop the clip to the timeline and you’re done!

4. On A Budget? Get Family And Friends To Help

If you’re on a tight budget and don’t have many options, get your family and friends to help. After all, that’s what they’re there for. Have your mother-in-law send out the invitations. Make your father set up the furniture for the ceremony. Ask your sister to help create the floral decorations. There’s nothing wrong with using your family to help you set everything up, because in the end, it’ll be worth it, and you won’t break the bank for your big day!

5. Repurpose, Reuse, Recycle

Sometimes, you don’t need to buy new things to make your wedding look magical and memorable. Instead, use old items in your home if things get too expensive or overwhelming. You’ll have many things lying around in your house that you can bedazzle for the wedding. Do you have fake plants lying around your house? Use them as decorations. Do you have twine in your cupboards? Wrap them around glass bottles and use them as vases. Anything in your home can be used instead of those expensive, bespoke items suppliers will entice you with. It’ll not only help reduce the cost, but you can always take off the paint and twine and use them again for something else.

6. Do It Yourself

Like using your family and friends, why not do some things yourself, like creating gifts and favors for your guests or doing your own hair and makeup. There are thousands of tutorials online, on social media, and on YouTube. So, instead of hiring a makeup artist, or a supplier, do it yourself. Practice those hair tutorials in your spare time, or practice that makeup look when you go to work. It’ll save you time and money when the big day does come.

7. Make The Space Unique

One of the biggest decisions you need to make is the venue, and so many websites, blogs, magazines, and social media platforms will tell you what the “best place for your wedding” is. While it can be true for many couples, it doesn’t have to be true for you. What makes a wedding venue unique is its value to you. Are you getting married in a church? Why not have it at your childhood church? Getting married on the beach? Why not get married at your favorite beach? The best venue doesn’t always have to be the “best venue”. Sometimes, it’s the one that’s most special to you.

8. Make It Virtual

Do you have a huge guest list but don’t have the space for it? Then why not make it virtual? Livestream your wedding to all your guests who can’t physically make it to the wedding. Let them experience the magic of your big day in the comfort of their living rooms. Your wedding doesn’t always need to be a big occasion, held in a reception hall, or have a 200-strong guest list. Sometimes, the more intimate settings are the better ones. So, instead of mingling with 200+ people, you can enjoy your reception with your closest family members because all those other people will be virtual.

9. Record Everything

10. Have Fun!

More often than not, planning a wedding is a stressful business. That’s why it’s one of the major obstacles for couples to cross before they get married, but remember, it’s all because you love each other. No matter what bells and whistles you put on it, you’re vowing to spend the rest of your lives together, so have fun. Enjoy the process, and don’t let it get to you. Take some time out to relax, meditate, or go on a spa trip. Not only will it rejuvenate you, but you might find some inspiration on those retreats. So, give yourself a break, and don’t sweat the small stuff. You’ll be fine.
