First, you need to take a look at you and your partner’s style. Do you favor a certain color? Is your house full of color or a collection of beiges and whites? What speaks to you most? Are you casual people, or are you formal? All of these questions can help you decide what you would like to show most for your wedding day. You need to know what you want before you start down the path of securing rentals and buying dresses and outfits. This process may feel daunting at first, but once you realize that you have all the answers it will be a lot easier.

Once you have a clear picture of your style, you should start thinking of how you want your guests throughout the night. Do you want a more cozy environment or more formal? Do you want to prioritize time with your guests or time with your partner? Answering these questions will help you decide where you want the wedding, how you want to style it, as well as the choice of food served. You may want a low-key backyard style wedding with a food truck or a full 5-course meal at the Hyatt in incline. Both these options are fantastic and fun. You need to make that decision based on what you, your partner and your guests want.
