Wedding Planning  takes many  roads.    First  there is the bride and groom's feelings on how the day would or  should progress.

Some questions to consider are :

Are there faith based issues?   What are the personal finances like?

A wedding can be gotten together  in as little as a week,  or planned for  as long as a year. 

Someone recently said to me, " This is a lot of  fuss and planning for a 20 minute ceremony."

I disagree. 

This is a lot of fuss   for   a  beginning of  a Foundation FOR Family, Home and Hearth.

You are able to save in some ways, and They are more expensive in others.

Again with the Couple's wishes in mind:

• Prep work abounds.
• Outside / Inside spaces need to be made ready.
• Good excuse for a remodel. Not in the budget? Paint is the most cost effective way to redecorate.

The wonderful choices and color schemes can be daunting.

Dear Husband <father of the bride> decreed:  "Neutral tone, and Uniform throughout the house."

After many years of rentals I wanted to make a mark <hahahha> on My living space.

The paint choices of the builder Cheap and Gray toned. Not enough paint and barely covered the drywall paper color, also a grey.

But I digress.

 Now  everyone has seen  planning books and  decoration assists,  cable shows and magazines.  The choices are  endless.   Working on home comfort and style  within a budget and time constraints  are enough  to  squelch your artistic inner voice if you let it.
