Getting married is a big decision. Many people dream about their weddings from a young age, so when the day finally arrives, you want it to be perfect. Planning a wedding ceremony can be a big task, but it's not so difficult once you break it down. Here are a few things you should consider when planning your wedding:

1. Do you want a large or intimate ceremony?

When planning your wedding, you should first decide what size ceremony you want. Some people want all their family and friends present to witness their wedding, while others desire a small ceremony with only a handful of people in attendance. Keep in mind the coronavirus may complicate larger ceremonies. If you plan to have a large wedding, keep in mind the social distancing that may be required and choose a suitably large space. Outdoor weddings are a great way to accommodate large parties while reducing the risk of viral transmission. If you choose an intimate ceremony, take some time to carefully and deliberately draft your guest list.

2. What type of dress code do you desire?

Weddings can be casual or formal. The type of wedding you choose will depend on your style. Put some thought into your guests' dress code. Daytime weddings are usually more casual. Meanwhile, evening weddings can be anything from semi-formal to formal. Your guests' attire will set the mood for your wedding. Don't feel shy about asking your guests to wear clothes that will make your wedding day feel the most special to you.

3. Do you require fresh flowers?

Flowers are a traditional wedding decoration. It's common for brides to carry a floral bouquet, and grooms often wear a boutonniere pinned to their lapels. Having a flower girl scatter fresh flower petals can be a nice touch as well. If you need fresh flowers for your wedding ceremony, you'll want to contact a florist ahead of time. Florists can get very busy depending on the season. A florist can help you decide on the appropriate blooms to use for your flower arrangements based on which flowers are seasonally available.

4. Do you want an onsite reception?

After the wedding ceremony, many people throw a wedding reception to celebrate their nuptials. When planning your wedding, decide if you want an onsite reception. Onsite receptions can be easier since there is no travel between venues required. However, some venues, such as beaches and parks, are not equipped for a wedding reception. Weigh the pros and cons of an onsite reception before making your final decision.
