Check-list of wedding preparation

If you have definitely decided that the wedding of your dreams is a wedding in Santorini, then this information will be useful for you. Each bride is facing a big amount of information during preparation to wedding and to a huge list of things to do before the wedding. Here I will share with you common points, a kind of checklist, on which you need to think about planning a wedding in Santorini. Some of the points are individual and may not be needed at all, some are extremely important.

The season of weddings in Santorini begins at the end of April and lasts until mid-October. Optimally, this kind of wedding should start being prepared before 9 months, in order to choose hotels / wedding venue / photographers not from the remaining, but the best for you. Actually, you can plan your wedding in two months, as good as any others brides, but preparation will be a bit nervous. Here I am considering a variant of measured preparation, unhurried and thoughtful.

6-9 months

• Choose your wedding planner ( how your wedding will pass,depends on him, so choose wisely)
Decide whether you want a wedding for two or with guests
Decide whethet
the wedding be official or symbolic?
Think about in which part of the day you want the ceremony: in the morning, in the afternoon or at sunset time
To make a reservation of your wedding venue with your wedding planner (no, not too early, imagine, the venues are booked not only by your city or country, but by the whole world, so hurry up to choose the most beautiful site and the most convenient time for you)
