What Brides Need To Know When Planning Asheville Weddings

By Sharon Taylor


If you are planning your upcoming wedding you likely want to find the perfect location for your ceremony and reception. Asheville weddings can be fun and beautiful too regardless of what style of celebration you would like to have. Here are some tips and tricks that you can use to plan your celebration regardless of what your budget or personal style is.

Setting a date can be a great first step when planning your wedding. Is there an important date that you want to choose for your celebration? If it is something like a holiday you may want to make sure that you plan farther ahead since wedding professionals will often book up much more quickly on holidays and other significant dates.

A budget is always a tricky thing to set. You will want to make sure that you have enough money to pay for all aspects of your celebration. Keep in mind that you may be able to borrow from certain aspects of your celebration so that there is enough to pay for other aspects but you need to remember that you likely only have a certain amount of money to work with when making your plans.

Many people have thought a bit about their dream wedding as they have gotten older. If you have a specific detail or location in mind you should set that as your priority and your other details can then be adjusted so that they will work with what you have determined to be your main priority.

The size of your guest list is definitely going to have an effect on where your ceremony and reception will take place. Larger guest numbers will usually mean you need to work with a larger venue. Some popular options include Castle Ladyhawke, the Biltmore Estate or the Country Club of Asheville NC. Other venues are smaller and more intimate although they can still be beautiful places for you to get married or celebrate in.

Other details can begin to fall into place once you have decided where and when your wedding will take place. Keep in mind that unless you are getting a full-service package that you will need to hire a caterer, a DJ or band and someone who can photograph your wedding day. Different professionals will charge different rates and so it is always a good idea to shop around so that you are able to stay in your budget.

Some couples feel completely overwhelmed when it comes to planning a celebration. If this is the case with you it may be worthwhile to work with an experienced wedding planner. They are often familiar with different service providers and may even be able to get you goods and services at a lower cost than if you were booking things on your own.

It may feel like you have to make a lot of major decisions in a short period of time but once everything has been set up you will likely want the chance to sit back and relax until your big day gets closer. Keep in mind that you will need a fair bit of lead time if you want to plan your wedding on a popular date such as a holiday or a day that is significant in some way.
