A wedding celebration is the end of long preparation, and in order to avoid unpleasant surprises and the discontent of both guests and newlyweds, it is essential to approach the planning process as carefully as possible. First, the budget to spend on the holiday should be determined. All the details without exception are to be taken into account, including the organization of a banquet, the decoration of the wedding area, the services of drivers and other staff, as well as dresses for newlyweds. Another important aspect is the planning of the style of the wedding. According to Stafford et al. (2020), this holiday is more of a celebration for a bride than for a fiancé, but the cultural background of both newlyweds and guests is a criterion that largely determines the nature of the ceremony. Religious beliefs, the number of people, personal interests, and other social criteria should be considered to make the holiday enjoyable for everyone.
The acquisition of wedding paraphernalia is an important stage of preparation, which should be completed carefully. Buying rings, discussing the concept of a festive table, designing invitations, choosing a cake, and other actions are the indispensable elements of the celebration. Moreover, as Stafford et al. (2020) argue, a bride-centric concept of marriage is common in the United States today since this event is more significant for women than for men. Therefore, in order for the celebration to be successful, brides should pay particular attention to many details and, if possible, draw up a plan. Ordering makeup and hairstyle is what is planned immediately before the wedding, but some nuances, for instance, the style of dresses or the design of photo zones, have to be determined in advance. Before the time of the celebration, it is essential for newlyweds to be concerned only with organizational tasks and not be distracted by related issues. In this case, a wedding ceremony will be memorable and leave only positive emotions for everyone present.
