How to Have the Wedding of Your Dreams in 90 Days

While most couples take at least 6 months to put together their big day, you want to do it in 3!

Exciting! But also a bit daunting? It doesn’t have to be. Actually, the tight schedule may keep you so busy that you won’t have time to stress! And after all, putting together such a special event should be fun, shouldn’t it?

However, we do suggest proper planning, so all bases are covered and you can walk down the aisle calm and collected.

Step 1: Prioritize what Matters Most to You and Your Partner

Having only 90 days means you should only focus on what is really vital to YOU. Ignore people’s expectations and wedding traditions and only list what will bring you and your partner joy on the day. Are flower arrangements your priority or are you more passionate about the dress and the wedding cake?

Narrowing down the list gives you more time to focus on what matters, so you can perfect them, rather than running out of time trying to arrange everything associated with a traditional wedding. It will also help manage your budget since you’ll know which aspects of the wedding to spend the most on.

Step 2: Choose a Date and Venue that Fit Your Vision and Budget

Having a general idea of what your day should be like, you can draw up a budget to guide your spending throughout the 3 months. Furthermore, your vision of the day helps identify the best venue, such as whether you need space for a sit-down dinner or a more casual picnic.

Pick a venue that simplifies arrangements, since you have limited time. For example, keep décor to a minimum and pick a venue with a lovely garden that will set the scene and provide a stunning group photo background.

Fort Worth Country Memories, located just 20 minutes from downtown Fort Worth, is one of the top-rated wedding venues in the area. They offer all-inclusive wedding packages that simplify the planning process, allowing you to focus on enjoying your special day. Fort Worth Country Memories offers both ceremony and reception options, with both indoor and outdoor spaces available. This gives you the flexibility to choose the location that best fits your vision for your special day. Their packages include a choice of indoor or outdoor ceremony locations, reception hall with tables and chairs, decorations, catering, and more. To save you time and money, Fort Worth Country Memories offers the use of decorations for free. This takes the stress out of having to source and set up decorations yourself, and ensures that the venue looks beautiful and cohesive on your special day. The outdoor ceremony site is set in a picturesque garden, perfect for a romantic wedding.

The reception hall can accommodate up to 200 guests and includes a dance floor, DJ booth, and a bar. Fort Worth Country Memories also offers a bridal suite and groom’s room for getting ready before the ceremony.

Their cozy cabins make it easy for your family and wedding party to stay together and enjoy the festivities. The cabins are beautifully decorated and include modern amenities such as air conditioning, heating, and WiFi.

Just remember, most wedding venues are booked months and even more than a year in advance. Your ideal venue may not be available on the day you hope for, so you may need to settle for a weekend earlier or later. Alternatively, if you know your guests can make it, consider getting married during off-peak times on a weekday.

Step 3: Streamline the Guest List and Invitations

Your budget will affect how many guests you can afford to accommodate. List everyone you would like to invite in order of importance, starting with close family and friends. Because of the timeframe, chances are that some of them won’t be able to come, in which case you can invite others on your list, such as colleagues or distant family members.

Make the invitation process easy on yourself by using modern resources. Send out digital invitations using available templates, rather than spending time designing, printing and posting them. Alternatively, use online stationers that can have custom printed invitations delivered within 3 days, rather than wasting time traveling to stores and printers yourself.

Step 4: Mix and Match Bridal Accessories with Wedding Decor and Focus on Key Elements

Whether décor is a main priority for you or not, all weddings should have some aesthetic value. Key to handling this within a short timeframe is to keep it simple. One option is to choose a traditional, neutral wedding color palette—think white, cream and beige—for which it’s easy to find wedding décor, even on short notice.

When it comes to wedding planning, designing and making the wedding ring is an important part of the process. By creating a custom-made wedding ring ahead of time, it will reflect the bride’s personality and style. This is especially important as the wedding ring is a piece of jewelry that is worn every day and is a symbol of the couple’s love and commitment to each other.

Matching the engagement ring with the wedding ring is also a crucial aspect to consider. Furthermore, designing and making the wedding ring with a jeweler can also help ensure that the ring matches the overall theme and elements of the wedding. It’s always a good idea to design and make the wedding ring with the wedding’s key theme and elements in mind. If there is a uniquely colored gemstone in the custom-made wedding ring, it can be used as a starting point when planning the wedding colors. The bride’s veil can also be designed to match the theme of the wedding, whether it’s classic or modern. This attention to detail can make the wedding day even more special and memorable for the bride and groom.

Step 5: Find the Right Vendors and Negotiate for the Best Deals

Ensure the day goes smoothly by using trustworthy vendors for everything from food to flowers. Since the event isn’t too far into the future, perhaps professional wedding vendors will be willing to give some discount. After all, unlike other weddings, they don’t have to wait more than 6 months before getting paid in full.

If all caterers and other wedding vendors are already booked, think out the box, such as inviting locals with food trucks to cater.

Step 6: Involve Your Loved Ones and Delegate Tasks as Needed

One way to resolve challenges when you can’t get the right service providers to assist is to ask family and friends to help. Request their help, rather than expecting a wedding gift, so they can take some pressure off the wedding couple.

Some of them may welcome the opportunity! One of your cousins may enjoy showing off her skills as baker and creative aunts will see it as a privilege to decorate the venue with flowers.

Step 7: Enjoy the Journey and Savor the Moments that Matter

It’s especially important to delegate tasks on the day, so you as a couple can simply focus on enjoying every moment you’ve been looking forward to for 90 days. This is why having a wedding planner—even if it’s just a friend volunteering to keep order on the day—is vital.

Conclusion

Starting with a shortened list of priorities, you’ll definitely streamline the organizing of a wedding within just a few months. Now, make sure that you’ll be able to be present in those moments, rather than worrying about whether everything will go according to plan. You’ve done your best, so focus on each other, say ‘I do’ and live happily ever after.
