Planning your dream wedding day is so exciting, but we understand that it can also feel a little overwhelming! So first things first, before viewing any venues and getting quotes, we recommend sitting down with your partner (maybe grab a glass of wine!) and start brainstorming on the following:
- What vibe do you want for your big day? Try and think of 3 words of how you envision for your wedding – some examples might include – Hinterland, Luxe, Oceanside, Vintage, Intimate, Modern etc. Being clear on your vision will help guide you in the right direction in terms of location, venues and suppliers.
- What dining experience do you hope for? Do you envision a cocktail style evening with canapes, or a more interactive meal with shared plates, or perhaps a more traditional path with an alternative drop menu.
- How many people do you want to invite? Do you want every cousin and colleague to attend, because the more the merrier! Or are you wanting more of an intimate gathering? Maybe it’s somewhere in the middle.
- What are the non-negotiables? Do you want extravagant florals, a champagne tower, or to book your dream photographer? Knowing what’s really important will help keep priorities front and center, and the rest can take second place!
We hope these few conversation starters are helpful, fun and get the ideas rolling for your dream day. At Austinvilla Estate, you will have various meetings with our wedding coordinators who will also help guide you through the planning process and bring your unique vision to life!
