You have to have first dance / cake cutting / bouquet toss / etc for it to be a ‘real’ wedding
Wedding takes at least a year to organise
Most people are under impression that organising a wedding in under a year is a mission impossible. In reality, with the help of a talented wedding planner, you can pull off a gorgeous celebration in a way less time. The most important thing to lock in if you’re pressed in time is a venue, as lots of them get reserved for weekends quite in advance. If your date is flexible, even a few months is a perfectly manageable timeframe.
Do not rush the process either, though, as engagement is a special time in life of any couple, make sure to enjoy it as much as you can.
DIY projects are great and can save you money
You can hire friends/people you know to save the cost
Best wedding planners will be able to advise you on every step of the planning process and support you in questions where you might have doubts.
