The Road To Wedded Bliss – Part Two

Here at the Thrasher-Horne Center, weddings are second nature. Our massively accommodating Events Center has played host to hundreds of perfect weddings for couples all over the region. As a result, we’ve encountered numerous bridal checklists – all of which provided varying degrees of personal success for the new bride. After witnessing the best and the worst, we’ve assembled the following as your ultimate go-to list, which we’ll be doling out in monthly installments to keep you on schedule until your big day.

ABOUT 9 TO 10 MONTHS BEFORE

Getting down to business

Now is the time to make some decisions for the things that need to be taken care of well in advance. Musicians might not be available or your dress might not be ready on time. These checklist items are a must-do over the next month.

  • Purchase/order your dress and veil. If it is custom designed for you, it will definitely take longer so keep that in mind.
  • Choose bridal party attire and accessories. Let them in on the decision so they will be as comfortable with the price as they are in the dress.
  • Hire the photographer, videographer, musicians and DJ’s if you have not already done so. If you will be married during popular bridal seasons (spring & fall), it is especially important to book them well in advance.
  • Meet the caterers. Your venue should be able to provide a list of recommended caterers for you to select from.
