Read today’s blog from the experts at easyEventhire and find out what you need to consider if you want to plan a wedding in under a month!
In the article below, we’re taking a look at whether it is possible to plan a wedding in a month – after all, sometimes it can take years!
As a couple, when you come to plan a wedding, it is (supposedly) a time full of excitement and joy. Many people already have their ‘dream wedding’ outlined in their mind, and have had for years. Other people, at the start of their engagement when they have popped the question, their thoughts turn to the wedding planning and what it will entail. Others, however, have a slightly more ‘ad-hoc’ or ‘laissez-faire’ attitude when they come to plan a wedding.
First up, to answer whether you can plan a wedding in a month or less, the simple answer is yes. However, all the detail might not be 100% in line with what you wanted, but yes, you can certainly do this.
When you come to plan a wedding, it takes time, doesn’t it?
Perhaps the most important consideration if you are trying to do things last minute (and yes, within a month does very much class as last minute!), is that of the wedding venue. Where are you going to have your wedding ceremony? And what about the wedding reception and party?
This is the most essential consideration, because where you choose certainly impacts on the route you have to take. OK, so we’re living in the 21st Century, and times have changed when it comes to marriage banns being read in Church, though still needs consideration. The reading of banns in church is the announcement of your intention to marry, and a chance for anyone to put forward a reason as to why the marriage should not lawfully go ahead. Your banns, if you decide to get married in a church, have to be read on three Sundays during the 3 months prior to your wedding. So, yes, it can be done, but it would be very last minute!
At the same time, whilst civil ceremonies are widely chosen in hotels and other wedding venues, quintessentially British church weddings still remain hugely popular. As a result, Saturdays in the summer as always booked well in advance, and so if you need to plan a wedding in less than a month, the chances are that your preferred date for your church wedding might not be available.
Wedding venues, stately homes and hotels have a more relaxed approach to the wedding ceremony, but will still probably have issues with date availability. After the COVID pandemic meant that many couples had to put their wedding plans on hold for 18 months, now it’s a case of most dates are booked up with couples rolling over their weddings to the present day.
And it’s not just the venue that might have issues with the availability of your preferred date. What about the limousine company, the wedding cake supplier, the dress shop and their seamstress if any alterations are needed, the invitation printers and the caterers for the wedding. Couples usually take their time when they come to plan a wedding for this exact reason – there are so many elements involved in a wedding, and all of them have to come together at the same time.
And don’t forget the guests, of course. Especially if you’re planning a summer wedding, people go on summer holidays, and others won’t be available at short notice. Your guest list is critical when you come to plan a wedding.
So, the message is, yes, it can be done, but you will probably need to compromise.
Or will you?….
Whilst there are numerous reasons as to why a couple wants to get married quickly, nothing beats the reason of good old romance, and the desire to get married to your partner as soon as possible,..because you love each other!
And one way to plan a wedding in less than a month is to go down the route of a more bespoke and personal wedding. A bit like what you might see on TV’s “Don’t Tell The Bride” on E4.
