domain name that best suits your needs, brand and aspirations. Bluehost.com
plan offers a single free domain, so you don’t have to worry about having
to buy one. It’s yours! :)
(If your domain is already registered, Bluehost will suggest you other domain
names.)

Tips for crafting a good website domain name:
▸Prefer shorter domain names. Names between 7-13
letters perform better. However, there is no right or wrong
here. You should always have your brand in mind.
▸It needs to make sense and be easy to remember
▸It must contain a strong brand name
▸Avoid symbols such as *, /, #, etc. on your domain names

in the next section. Now, time for the next step: Installing a Wedding
WordPress Theme.
INSTALLING A THEME
After installing WordPress, it is time to give yourweddingwebsite the look you
want. Before we continue, you should know a few things.
Just like anything in the world, there are free and premium themes available for
WordPress. Premium themes are far much better than the free ones, of course.
My personal opinion: you should really invest your money and buy
yourself a premium theme.
Premium themes are a must when it comes to building a beautiful wedding
website, so you really should buy one, especially when it’s so cheap (most
themes cost less than $50)
(There is a bonus at the end of this content with my favorite places to find premium wedding
WordPress themes)
INSTALLING A THEME
1) Login in your WordPress dashboard using your credentials from
the previous step.

2) This is your WordPress Dashboard. This is the place where you
will control everything about your website. Here is where you will
control your wedding website.
INSTALLING A THEME
If this is your first time, you might get a little intimidated by the
WordPress dashboard. However, there is no need to panic: the
dashboard is pretty intuitive and you must be able to learn it in less
than a day.
Give yourself time to learn at your own pace.
INSTALLING A THEME
3) To change the
actual theme
(which is a mess)
and install the
theme you’ve just
bought, you should
go to
“Appearance >
Themes”.

4) Now you can change to other WordPress default themes, browse
through free themes or install your premium WordPress theme. Click
on “Add New” to add a new theme.

5) Upload the .zip file from the theme you’ve just bought and click
on “Install Now”. After that, just wait and after the installation is

to rock! Be proud because you now have your own wedding
website.
