There are a million and one details that have to be taken care of for a wedding to be a success, but not all of these details should be given equal importance. There are some that need to be ticked off the checklist but which really have no bearing on the final day. Others have the potential to make or break the success of the day, and, as such, it’s important that these are given greater importance. Below, we take a look at some of the details that you’ll want to ensure you get completely right.

The Guest List

The wedding is about you and your partner, but let’s be real here, when it comes to the overall vibe of the day, it’s all about your guests. If you have a guest list filled with people who are social, interesting, keen to have a good time, and so on, then the success of the wedding will be guaranteed. It’s like anything: throw enough good people together, and good times will flow. On the other hand, do your best to prevent potential problems by leaving troublemakers off the list (though we understand that family obligations and whatnot may make this difficult).

The Time of Year

Now, there’s no right time of the year to get married; only the time that’s appropriate for you. If you’re going to have an open-air party, then it goes without saying that late spring or summer will be the right time. Other people like the coziness of fall and winter, and want to get married in a venue that has a roaring fire, and so on. It’s important to keep in mind that the time of year that you get married will have a big effect on the overall vibe of your wedding. No good or bad option, just different! Of course, if you’re determined that there’ll be no rain on your wedding day, then it’s extra important that you’re smart about when you’re going to get hitched.

The Weather

And talking about rain and the time of year, remember that the wedding will be greatly influenced by the weather. And it has such an impact that it’s not even worth thinking about it, since you can’t control it! So long as everyone comes ready to have a good time no matter what’s happening in the skies above, then you’ll be all good.

Where It’s Held

There are high expectations when it comes to a wedding. People want to be inspired, have fun, feel like it’s a special day, and so on. As such, it’s imperative that you choose a wedding venue and banquet hall that contributes to all these things! If the venue is on point, then the guests will get into the spirit from the first moment they arrive at your wedding. More than most things, the venue sets the tone for how the wedding is going to go, so make sure you’re booking a magical place!

The Food

There are many reasons why people love going to weddings, but we’re sure there are none more valued than the food. It just seems like every plate has been carefully selected because of its deliciousness, and that’s because it has. While no one's going to complain if the food isn’t all that it could be, it’s just true that a delicious meal will take the awesomeness of the event up to another level. Also, have a think about seating plans.No-one wants to be sat on a table with whom they obviously have nothing in common.

The Dance Floor Tunes

People come for the ceremony, but stay for the party. So give them a reason to stay! If you have a DJ who knows all the tracks to ensure that people stay right until the end of the party. After the wedding, the food, the drinks, and so on, people are excited to get down and dance. But there’s nothing worse than when a DJ is just not getting it right. So don’t book a DJ on a recommendation alone; make sure you see examples of their set, checking that you can have some input (few things worse than a wedding DJ who only plays the songs they like), and so on.

The Logistics

People want to have a care-free, enjoyable time at a wedding, but sometimes, it’s not just logistically possible. Take this example. If you’re getting married in a rural area, then are there enough taxis (affordable taxis) to get them back to their hotel? If you don’t think of these things ahead of time, then you might find that people have no option but to drive...which can seriously dampen the magic of the event. While guests obviously have to take care of some things by themselves, you shouldn’t make attending your wedding a challenge or a great inconvenience.

Extra Touches

The primary ingredients of a wedding are well-known and will be expected by the people who are attending your wedding. But those extra little touches can give your wedding the “wow” factor, and take your wedding to the next level. There’s always room for a surprise or two! For example, things like a photo booth, costumes, special cocktail bars, and other small additions can help boost the fun levels.

Bringing the Love

It’s easy to become stressed when it comes to planning a wedding, and when it comes to the day, to get too bogged with making sure everything’s perfect. But if you’re thinking too much about the details, then you won’t be enjoying the day! So make sure you’re appreciating and enjoying the moment. The guests are going to have a good time regardless, but you’ll make it extra special if you have the love that you and your partner share at the forefront of your mind. It’ll set the tone for the day.
