Learn about the most important arrangements for organizing a unique and unparalleled wedding

Every couple is eagerly waiting for their wedding, which will be the step in which their love will culminate, and a life full of wonderful memories begins. But behind every candle or decoration in this wedding is months (sometimes years) of constant planning, and every husband or wife can tell you their special story.

To help the newlyweds accomplish the tasks required to organize their wedding, we spoke with the wedding experts at Radisson Blu hotels and here are their tips on what to do and avoid completely while planning your wedding.

What the newlyweds should follow while organizing the wedding:

Set a budget for your wedding
Always remember the importance of agreeing in advance on the budget for the wedding, so that you can benefit as much as possible from its value. Many wedding experts are flexible in terms of pricing, and are always accepting of newlyweds' differing opinions on budget. So you don't have to worry, you can always discuss the offers with a party planner, which will allow you to invite more friends, modify the menu or even get more special services to match the style and location of the wedding.

Draw a glimpse into your imagination of a dream wedding
There is always a benefit in using visual aids for even the most discerning and far-sighted wedding designers. Therefore, it is always recommended to prepare a set of pictures that show the bride's favorite flowers, table decorations for them or even chandeliers on the ceiling of the hall. It is important to design every image and every angle very carefully with the help of a wedding expert.

Request a special discounted price list for your guests
In the event that a number of your guests want to stay in the same hotel, you must request a discounted price list from the hotel management and event planning expert. By choosing it to be your wedding venue, your guests can enjoy lower prices than better services, as most hotels in the Middle East offer special prices for newlyweds guests who want to stay in the same hotel.

Define your wedding style with your partner
The Middle East hosts a myriad of weddings of different cultures, creating a unique blend of customs, traditions and styles. Prior to your meeting with the wedding expert, you should agree in advance on the preferred wedding style and idea. Choose the colors, lighting, tablecloths and any other supplies as you will definitely need extra time to find the right wedding dress, choose the best way to arrange flowers, or even teach your partner how to master the first dance of the party.

Accept new and innovative ideas
Each of us thinks he knows the best, but the opinion of the experienced is definitely the best, so feel free to try new ideas. The wedding experts have already organized many parties over the years, so of course they can share that experience and give advice that suits your party. The planning stage will also involve many factors, including the personality of the newlyweds and the wedding budget, so it is okay to listen to another opinion.

What the newlyweds should avoid while organizing the wedding:

Do not go for a wedding expert with a large group of friends or family
Families in the Middle East usually involve a large number of family members in the planning of the wedding, causing endless opinions and the newlyweds waiting for the final decision. Remember that this is your wedding, not someone else's. They made the decision together, and sought additional opinion only when needed.

Don't forget to taste the food before the party
Usually the couple forget to try the menu chosen according to the style of the party and the taste of the guests, and see if it needs tweaking or changing. So don't hesitate to sample the items in advance of your wedding.

Don't expect the party to be as you imagine it if the budget is limited
Know the size of the expected wedding according to your budget before you start planning, to avoid wasting time that could be used with a second wedding expert or other organizers. You can certainly organize a beautiful wedding on a budget, but it takes more time and effort. Make the decision, reserve the right place, and start planning from now.

Don't ask for any sudden changes before the party
You always have to look at the smallest details and follow them closely, such as the list of invitees, the party photographer, choosing the best time to shoot the party video, and many more. Many people think that adding 50 guests to the guest list is very easy, but it is quite the opposite. There are a lot of changes that follow that step and it doesn't stop at just the financial cost. Rather, it includes increasing the number of seats, tables, flowers and lighting, and making sure that there is an additional amount of food and beverages available for new invitees. So always remember the amount of effort required behind the scenes
