When planning a quick wedding it\u2019s important to establish the couples priorities and whether these can be achieved within the time frame.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pros of planning in under six months<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s all very romantic \u2013 you won\u2019t have to wait long until you\u2019re Mr and Mrs!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll have to make quick decisions \u2013 which is good if you\u2019re a bit of a dawdler.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll probably have a slightly smaller wedding, so it will more than likely cost less.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are you may <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingbranch.co.uk\/wedding-venues.html\">get a better deal on your wedding venue<\/a>, especially if you\u2019re marrying out of season and if you\u2019re prepared to get married mid-week.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have to buy your dress off the peg or at a sample sale, which means you\u2019ll probably save money on something made to measure. A good dressmaker can always make alterations quickly in any case.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No time to have a cake made by a designer? Some high street stores have some amazing ready-made wedding cakes and you can decorate it yourself with accessories or flowers to personalise.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re brave enough to book a honeymoon last minute, you could end up with a bargain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issues you may face<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everybody will be able to attend \u2013 they may already have holidays, work commitments or a birth of a baby in the diary.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve got less flexibility about where you can marry and the date \u2013 popular venues, especially in the height of summer, tend to get booked up 1-2 years in advance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for your dream designer wedding dress then it probably won\u2019t be ready in time (most designers and bridal shops need at least three months to put a frock together).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might not get the photographer you want \u2013 fashionable photographers can be booked a year or two ahead at peak times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re an indecisive person, a quick wedding turn around may bring on more stress than is worth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might not be getting married at the time of year you dreamed about.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll probably have to take some time off work quite close to the wedding\/honeymoon to get your plans in order.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your wedding is in term-time, some kids may not be able to get time off school to be flower girls or pageboys.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elements To Plan ASAP<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingbranch.co.uk\/wedding-venues.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organise your wedding venue<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You really need to focus on where you\u2019re going to get married \u2013 where the ceremony and reception is taking place and when. Try to organise the ceremony and reception at the same location \u2013 this will save on planning time. See what dates they have available, check for discounts for off-season or mid-week weddings and go from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book a photographer<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shots of your wedding day will provide lasting memories so book a photographer you can work with. We suggest you contact four and check availability but if you\u2019re really set on them, don\u2019t book your venue until you know they can do that date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your wedding dress<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some designers will need six months to create your dream gown so get it ordered quickly. If you really don\u2019t have six months, we suggest asking your local bridal boutique about how quickly they can get a dress in stock, or alternatively, try the sample sales. These can provide amazing bargains if you\u2019re lucky. Just factor in the cost of dry cleaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your wedding entertainment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re particularly set on somebody and they\u2019re available you need to get on and book them pronto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is planning your wedding in six months really doable?
