The Ultimate Wedding Plan Checklist • 333+ Inspiring Lifestyle Ideas

One of the milestones of our lives is the day we say “I do”, the day we celebrate the union with family and good friends; if you are planning your wedding in the coming months, here is our checklist to ensure you don’t overlook anything.

The invites – The very first thing to do is create the guest list, which might take a while; you and your partner should sit down and discuss who you wish to invite. Of course, the number of guests has a correlation with your budget; once you know how many people will be attending, you can start looking at venues.
Wedding suits – Contact a leading tailor for bespoke suits in Melbourne and have the expert create a made-to-measure suit that is appropriate for this very special event. If you are both planning to theme the wedding, let the tailor see a few images of the bridal gown and he will know what to do. Better still, introduce the tailor to the person who is making her wedding dress.
Wedding rings – Of course, both bride & groom will have matching rings and a good custom jeweller has you covered. It is a myth that custom made jewellery is more expensive; take your budget to a custom jeweller and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you can do.
Venue – Ideally, you want a hotel or resort that caters specifically for weddings because they have all the amenities you need; live music, a choice of indoors and out, car parking, a tailored buffet menu and the hotel would appoint an event manager to facilitate your wedding reception. Not only that, guests that live far away can book a room for the night.
Honeymoon – Make sure that both passports are valid and obtain any visas you might need well in advance. Go traditional and leave the reception directly for the airport in a chauffeured limousine and enjoy; book early to avoid disappointment and we recommend a 5-star resort in Bali, which has always been a firm favourite for Aussie couples.

Gift list – It does make sense to create a wedding gift list, which removes the risk of double gifting; send it out with the invite and that allows people to choose.
Flowers – If the venue doesn’t do flowers, connect with a local florist and you can choose between natural or artificial blooms. Florists offer wedding packages that include bridesmaids bouquets, the bridal arrangement, table flowers and buttonhole carnations for all the guests.
Videographer/photographer – You simply must commission a videographer to record the special day and their assistant can take the still shots. Choose a local photographer with extensive wedding experience and do check out their portfolio to get an idea of what to expect.
