Organizing a wedding is a lot of work, especially if you do not use the services of a wedding planner.
In order for the event to go smoothly, you should make a to-do list and follow it step by step during the preparation process. To begin with, imagine how you see your most wonderful day in detail and color, and then start drawing up a detailed wedding plan.
Every detail should be included in the list: from the width of the wedding rings to the choice of flower arrangements and the venue for the celebration.

Bride's notebook. What's inside?
I suggest creating a wedding diary with your own hands; it can be left as a memory of the fun pre-wedding bustle. It would be better if it was an organizer with detachable rings. This design will allow you, if necessary, to insert additional sheets for notes, fabric samples, thick cardboard with sketches, photographs of your favorite design, and scrapbook files with useful information.
In general, it is not difficult to assemble it; anyone can do it. Here's what we need for this:
- An A4-A5 format folder (whichever is more convenient) will work well.
- A piece of fabric in the desired color for the cover.
- Thin padding polyester (3-8 cm) in size corresponding to the size of your folder.
- Glue gun or just instant super glue.
- Sheets of paper of various thicknesses and appropriate formats for your pages.
- Hole puncher.
- The files are again in the required format.
- Scraps of fabric, colored threads, lace, multi-colored ribbons to decorate the diary cover.
- Fantasy working to its fullest.
Bride's notebook. Step-by-step instruction:
- We take a folder and wrap it in a layer of padding polyester. It must be glued along the entire length and along the fold. If you wish, you can not bother with one large piece of padding polyester, but cut it into a couple of rectangles for the cover and a strip for the spine. There is no need to make folds on the inside.
- Next, take the fabric, which on all sides should be a centimeter and a half larger than the folding folder. If the edge of the material “creeps”, it is necessary to process it - tuck it in and stitch it, overcast it by hand or with an overlocker, or you can simply burn it. Although if your idea requires this (spreading), then you can, on the contrary, fray the edges a little more artistically.
- We wrap the diary tightly in the material and fix the edges with glue. Don't forget to fill the corners carefully. The fabric also needs to be glued at the fold point, then it will not move when opening the folder. It is also advisable to glue the frayed threads so that they do not spread out more than necessary.
- So, the basis of our wedding diary is ready. Let's use our imagination and decorate the cover. You can embroider an inscription with colored threads, you can write the name with beads using glue, or you can lay it out with lace braid. In general, who cares what.
- Now we need to fill our planner with pages. The pages can be either plain printer paper or thicker landscape sheets or colored cardboard. Make holes using a hole punch and insert. To delimit sections of the notebook, you need sheets slightly wider than the bulk of the pages. They can also be decorated in various ways (with rhinestones, sparkles, stickers, drawings and inscriptions, etc.). Or you can use small bright labels located at the top or side along the page to easily open the required section.

Nuances of planning a celebration at home
It is better to start preparing your own wedding six months before the appointed date. This way you won't lose sight of any detail. Six months is enough to think about where the holiday will take place: at home, outdoors or in a restaurant, and also decide on the number of guests. Six months before the wedding, you need to clarify whether there are any church holidays on this day if the couple plans to get married.
Initially, weddings were held to raise enough money for a young family, which would be enough for the first time of their life together. But the realities of our time are such that weddings pay off less and less often, so the most budget-friendly option is to celebrate at home. Such a wedding allows you to invite only close friends and relatives to the celebration, without spending large sums on a magnificent celebration.
When organizing a home wedding yourself, the main thing is to have space and amenities to accommodate all the guests. If the newlyweds have a private house with a garden plot, then the problem is easily solved: between feasts, guests can go out into the fresh air, dance, and watch fireworks. If the house is multi-apartment, then for the wedding you will have to take out some furniture so that the tables do not block the free space, and there is still room for entertainment.

Gifts for guests and DIY photo zone
Following the advice of experts from the last diary, we chose pots of succulents as gifts for guests. We will give away an echeveria plant, which I found at a regional floristic center at a price of 100 rubles per piece.
To decorate the photo zone, I collect boxes :) It looks strange, but every day I walk past the fruit kiosk and ask for free wooden boxes of all sizes. I bring them home, clean them and prepare them for painting. I need to “collect” about 20 boxes for the photo zone and sweet table decor. I plan to treat some of them with stain and some with pearl gray acrylic paint. On the wedding day, I will staple the boxes together with a furniture stapler and screw them to a wooden base for stability, forming them into a “wall.” I plan to decorate the photo zone with moss, greenery, lanterns with garlands and glowing letters with our initials. I think this is a good idea that requires virtually no investment.
On the advice of experts, I decided to try to find a chandelier for a tent for rent.
But it turned out that renting a chandelier with delivery and installation costs 40 thousand rubles! Therefore, we may have to abandon this idea, or try to assemble it ourselves.
- Expert commentary
Zhanna Ledovskaya, 7NEBO
Ksenia, how much do you need this chandelier? The chandelier is very beautiful, but think about whether you really need a chandelier. It is classic and light, and your references are no longer about classics, but about country chic. That is, it may very likely turn out that everything will look very beautiful even without a chandelier;)
Plus , it is important to approach it competently from a technical point of view and coordinate the weight of the chandelier with the maximum permissible suspensions on the ceiling of your site. You also need to subtract the highest point of the chandelier from the ceiling height, taking into account the mounting, and see how much distance remains from the floor to the ceiling. For comfortable dancing, the free ceiling height should be at least 5 meters. If you have a choreographed dance and there are lifts, then you should also take into account the height at which you perform the lifts.
