The wedding checklist for Singaporean couples in a snapshot\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Wedding<\/p>\n

Conceptualising your wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

Decide on a wedding theme<\/span><\/h3>\n

Do you already know if you prefer an intimate, closed-door ceremony or a boisterous, bubbly celebration? Deciding on the general vibe will give you a clearer direction when the wedding planning gets messy. After all, that\u2019s what this wedding checklist in Singapore is for!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Work up a budget<\/span><\/h3>\n

You\u2019re putting together a party for what could be over 100 people. It\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime event and it won\u2019t come cheap. Have a talk with your partner on what would be a comfortable budget. Your parents may offer to chip in for the wedding, so adjust your budget accordingly if so. With a budget set, you can easily streamline choices and move things along.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Compile a guest list<\/span><\/h3>\n

Who do you want to invite to your wedding? You can pare down your guest list later but have a rough list of the people you and your parents are inviting. This will impact the venues that you shortlist later on too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing wedding vendors<\/span><\/h2>\n

With a rough budget and guestlist in mind, it\u2019s time to lock down a venue for your big day. Be it a hotel or restaurant, do your research diligently and visit the wedding venues. After all, the ambience of the place can\u2019t be gauged from an image on your laptop. Want something completely unique? How about holding your wedding on the Royal Albatross or amid sea creatures at the S.E.A Aquarium? Check out our list of <\/span>unique wedding venues in Singapore<\/span><\/a> that will set your nuptials apart from the rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we were to pick a favourite, it has to be Botanico at The Garage<\/a> for its lush greenery and elegant dining spaces. A pillarless indoor hall allows for a more intimate setting and also allows your guests to mingle with each other easily. If your dream wedding is a garden-themed one, you’ll be pleased with this venue’s plentiful sunlight and greenery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Begin shopping for your wedding outfit<\/span>

Ah, the most exciting part of the wedding checklist. In Singapore, brides-to-be either rent or purchase their wedding gown. On a tight budget? How about these <\/span>affordable wedding dresses<\/span><\/a> online<\/span> from Shopee Singapore?

Alter for a better fitting and you\u2019ll still spend way less than the traditional gown options!<\/span><\/p>\n

For the grooms, choose between a bespoke or made-to-measure suit that\u2019ll have you looking your best self. For starters, we think this<\/span> three-piece formal suit<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>LONMMY STORE<\/span><\/a>) would make the groom look dapper on his big day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose your photographer\/videographer<\/span><\/h3>\n

Choosing the best wedding photographer or videographer is harder than it seems. Look through their portfolio to have a sense of their style. They may be popular but their work has to fit your personality and style too. Typically, couples go for pre-wedding shoots and actual day photography and\/or videography. Choose what works for you (and your budget)!<\/span><\/p>\n

Assemble a team of wedding pros<\/span><\/h3>\n

You will be liaising with more wedding vendors, think hair and makeup artist, florist, planners and bands. Regardless of which services you need, remember to allocate a few months to search for a vendor that aligns with your needs. If you are eyeing a particular vendor, set up an appointment early to avoid disappointment. Weddings can be tough to plan in Singapore and this wedding checklist only marks the start of your journey. If you foresee that it\u2019ll be hard to juggle wedding planning and your day job, consider hiring a wedding planner or enlist the help of friends and family members who\u2019ve been through the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Settling the wedding details<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hen and stag parties are the best time for the bride and groom to let your hair down and destress with your bride and groom.

Wedding day schedule\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve got most of your wedding details firmed up, start populating a Google Spreadsheet for the wedding day. It may seem too far into the future for you to visualise but that\u2019s what this wedding checklist is for! Most Singaporean couples begin their wedding day extremely early, with so many activities packed in a day. Draw up a timeline so things can run smoothly and delegate events to a member of your bridal party so no miscommunication ensues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
