A wedding is a huge task to undertake. Whether or not you’re the one planning it, there are so many nuances and services to hire that it’s easy to forget some important things. According to www.celebrationsatthebay.com, the average amount of time it takes to plan a wedding can vary between a week and 18 months—that’s a serious amount of time. But if you wait too long, you might forget some important details and if you don’t have enough time, you’re absolutely going to miss some important things that you want to include in your wedding. Here are a few things to help remind you about some wedding essentials that you mustn’t forget.

Dietary Requirements
Depending on who you invite, you might need to change some of the food on the menu to fit the tastes or dietary requirements of specific guests. Make sure that you check with everyone who visits so that you can create a menu that doesn’t alienate certain guests. Try to mix flavours and foods that are generally well-received and don’t forget to include children’s options. The last thing you want is for someone to sit down at the table and not be able to eat at your wedding because you forgot about someone’s requirements, so make sure that you’re taking everyone’s palette into consideration!
Photography
A smartphone camera or amateur photographer isn’t going to cut it if you want to have a memorable wedding. You want the photographer to captivate memories and emotions, not just photographs. To do this, you’re going to need the help of a skilled photographer such as the ones at www.clewellphotography.com. If you don’t invest the money to get a skilled photographer, your photos are going to look bland, dull and low-quality. If you want to truly make your wedding a memorable experience, then you’d better start looking for the perfect photographer to assist you.
Signage
Your wedding venue might be huge or it might be humble and small, but either way you’re going to have to put some signs up to direct people to the correct places. Don’t forget to create signs that show people where restrooms are as well. Make sure you have signs pointing to main areas such as the reception and don’t forget to lead people to places to eat and get cocktails while they wait. You don’t want people to get lost and miss something important like the wedding ceremony itself, so craft your own signs or enlist the help of a wedding signage company.
Rain Plan
So you’ve picked the perfect week that promises clear and sunny skies. Unfortunately, you can’t tame the elements and there’s always going to be a small chance that it will rain on your big day. Make sure that you have a backup plan ready in the event that it does start raining because you won’t be able to delay the ceremony and you definitely don’t want to have a failed wedding on your hands. If possible, try not to rely too much on having an outdoor wedding that banks on sunny weather.
