Getting married is one of the most special days of your life, and the way you celebrate should be just as fun! Wedding planning can be stressful, especially if you don’t know where to start. Here are some tips for planning the perfect wedding from the ground up!

HAVE A BOMB.COM RENTAL COMPANY

Rental companies are one of the best ideas when it comes to wedding planning. They literally take care of everything for you: set up, take down, transportation, etc. There are many things a rental company can provide that you likely will not use again- dance floors, arches, tables and chairs, and much more! Plus, you won’t have to worry about buying wedding decor then having to re-sell it! A rental company we love to work with is Taryn from iDo Rentals. Her inventory is stunning, and her services are great! Not to mention Taryn herself is a gem. Click on the images below to rent what’s pictured!

HAVE A COORDINATOR

One thing that will reduce your stress levels immensely is to have a coordinator! Whether it be for the day of your wedding or from the start to end-you need a point person! Wedding coordinators do this for a living, and they know how to prepare for everything. Most planners offer complete wedding planning or just day-of coordinators. Lucky for you, Riding Tandem offers it all! We have different services for different budgets, and can be as hands-on or lowkey as you need. Check out our services here!

GETTING READY LOCATION

Getting ready for your wedding is a time to remember! You want to be able to capture the memories with your gals + pals, so lighting is key! Find a place that is separate from the actual venue, either a bridal suite or one nearby. Make sure it isn’t too far away, for this can cause timing complications the day of.

PICTURESQUE LOCATION

Along with the getting ready location, you’ll want to pick a location to take photos at. Choosing a picturesque location for photos of the bride and groom is key because you want those pictures to be beautiful! Make sure to pick a timeless location so the photos will last forever. They will be beautiful regardless, but there’s nothing like looking back at old photos and wondering why you chose that location. A place we recommend is superstition mountain! It is a beautiful and timeless location.

Planning a wedding from the ground up takes time. The most helpful thing to do is start with the big things, then move on to smaller things that are easy to find (i.e. a makeup artist).
