A dream wedding: from vision to plan

“Dreamy” doesn’t mean expensive; it means coherent and well-executed. Here’s how to bring it to life.

Vision & moodboard

• 3 keywords + palette + 8–12 reference photos.
• Yes/no rules to keep coherence.

Priority-based budget

• Baseline split: venue 25–35%, catering 30–40%, decor 10–15%.
• Savings plan: flower reuse, simple centerpieces.

Venue & ambience

• Scouting and contract (see estates/venues and permits).
• Warm lighting, LED candles and photogenic focal points.

Timeline & vendors

• Minute-by-minute day-of script with owners.
• Clear contracts and full tech rehearsal the week before.

Monthly checklist

• 9–6: venue and save the date.
• 6–3: catering, music and photo/video.
• 3–0: signage, seating and final payments.
