Congratulations on your engagement. Now the exciting journey towards your dream wedding awaits. Planning a wedding can seem like a daunting task. There are so many things to consider and it can feel like a never-ending list of decisions to make. But with the right planning, you can have the perfect day without stress and worry.
Create a wedding budget
Once you've spent some time daydreaming about your upcoming wedding, the very first step is to set a budget. You can't move forward with any decisions until you know what you can afford to spend. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to think about the number of guests, as the size of your wedding and your budget go hand in hand. Start by talking to each other about what you want to prioritize for your wedding. Do you want a big party with lots of guests or do you want a more intimate ceremony with fewer guests? Should the wedding dinner be formal or more casual? These decisions will have a big impact on your budget.
You can then start researching the various expenses that will come with planning your wedding. For example: How much will it cost to rent a wedding venue? What type of entertainment do you want? How much will it cost to get a photographer or videographer to document your big day? Remember to include the cost of clothes, flowers and decorations.
Select a date
The next step in wedding planning is choosing a date. It may seem like a simple decision, but there are many factors to consider. What time of year do you want to get married? How much time do you want to give yourself to plan and prepare for the big day? When will most of your guests be available?
It's important to take the time to consider all these factors before choosing a date. Once the date is set, you can start working on the details that will come with planning your wedding.
Booking suppliers
When planning your wedding, there are many suppliers to consider and book. Finding the right suppliers to match your style and budget can be a challenge, but it's an important part of planning your big day. Also, try to book suppliers well in advance - that way you have more options when navigating between booking everything from music to cake.
The wedding cake is an important tradition in many weddings. The tradition of having a cake at the wedding dates back to ancient Rome, where the bride and groom ate a bread cake together to symbolize their union. Today, the wedding cake is often a multi-layered cake that is beautifully decorated with flowers, ribbons and other decorations. The cake is often cut by the bride and groom together and there are many symbols associated with this ritual. For example, it is traditional for the bride and groom to give each other a piece of the cake as a symbol of their shared future and promise to share everything in life together.
Finding the right wedding cake supplier is important. Even if a supplier has been recommended to you, always take a look at their previous work before booking your cake. Most pastry chefs have their own specialties ranging from traditional cakes to the more unusual. One of the most important decisions about your wedding cake is taste and appearance. Choose a pastry chef who can create a cake that suits your taste and style and matches your budget.

Choose the perfect setting for your wedding
Finding the perfect location for your wedding is an exciting part of the planning process. There are endless possibilities and types of venues that can create a magical atmosphere for your wedding. If you have a special interest or passion, choosing an event venue or special place as your wedding location can be a fun and personalized idea.
If you want a more relaxed and natural atmosphere, a location in the countryside, forest or scenic area can be the perfect setting for your wedding. If you want a romantic and fairytale wedding location, a historic castle or manor house can be a beautiful and impressive option. At Bernstorff Castle we offer a wedding event in a historic and magical setting. It can include everything from a wedding ceremony with reception to a gala celebration with overnight stay and brunch the next day.

Guest list and invitations
Once you have an idea of how many guests you want to invite, you can start making a list of the names of your desired guests. When making your guest list, it's important to take various factors into account. This can include your close family and friends, as well as important people in your life such as your work colleagues and business associates. It's also important to consider your budget and the desired atmosphere of your wedding.
Once your guest list is finalized, you can start sending invitations to your guests. The invitations can be sent electronically or on paper, depending on your preferences and budget. It's important to send invitations well in advance so your guests have time to plan and arrange their travel and stay.
Of course you need bubbles for the wedding party
The little details that make a great party
There are so many things to consider when planning a wedding, but it's the little details that can make a big difference and create a great party.
Hiring a professional DJ or musician can really lift the mood on your wedding day. Music is an important part of any celebration and it's important to have a DJ or musician who can adapt to the mood and play the right music at the right time. Make sure you meet with your DJ or musician beforehand to discuss the music style and playlist. That way you can make sure the music is in line with your wishes.
A theme can also be a fun and exciting way to add an extra dimension to your wedding. It can be something as simple as a color or a style, or it can be something more complex, like a specific era or culture. A theme can also help tie all elements of the wedding together - from invitations to decorations and menu. Think about what is important to you as a couple and how you can incorporate that into your wedding.
Other small details that can help create a great party include personal touches such as personalized place cards or thank you cards, a welcome drink that reflects your personalities, or an entertaining photobooth for guests.
