There is no set way to plan a wedding nowadays. Some people choose to wait a few years after getting engaged, some people skip out on being engaged for long all together. If you’re planning a wedding with limited time, here’s a guide for you on how to plan efficiently.

1.HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER

Planning a wedding is a lot of work. Your wedding planner can take care of things the day of or every detail within the planning. They are ones in charge of your vendors, scheduling or even design for your décor. Karma Crew offers wedding planning services for your big day at sea.

2.FIND A UNIQUE VENUE

Try out a yacht charter for your wedding. Karma Crew Yacht Charters offers an all inclusive wedding package for 38 people for only $15,000.

3.KEEP IT SIMPLE

The more details you need to incorporate into your wedding, the more time consuming it is to plan your day. Keeping it simple will cut down on time and expenses.

4. STRATEGIC GUEST LIST

By keeping your guest list smaller, there will be less people to worry about on your big day. Maybe plan a bigger, relaxed party following your wedding, like a back yard BBQ or pot luck.

5. THE ATTIRE

Ordering dresses from most bridal stores can take months before they come in and then lots of time for alterations. Try a local store or have you bridesmaids pick their own with guide lines (all the same color tone, all the same length, style etc). For men, they can usually rent tuxes within a month from the big day with no issues.

6.UNEXPECTED CATERING

Wedding specific caterers book up well in advance but there are plenty of options. Have a friend who is a good cook do the catering for you, make it a potluck wedding, or bring in something a little different like a professional BBQ, food truck or mobile bar handle the catering. Karma Crew also provides catering on board their yacht for special events.

7.FRIENDLY OFFICIANT

If you have a friend willing to do so and your state allows it, a person can get licensed for a day to officiate your wedding. This is fun and inexpensive. Our Captain can also officiate your wedding on a Karma Crew Yacht Wedding!

8.FUN FLOWERS

Pick up flowers from a local florist, using flowers in season. In season flowers are available immediately and are the least expensive. Plus, no one ever said your bouquets and centerpieces have to be flowers. Try a fun alternative, like feathers, fabric, or even fruits and vegetables!

9.#PHOTOGRAPHY

Use a recommended photographer from your venue. They will already be familiar with the venue location and know where to take best photos, like Karma Crew’s Photographer Christian Pleva Images. You can also use a hashtag for instagram.

10.EZ BAKE CAKEIf you know what kind of cake you like already, why not just order it from your favorite bakery or buy a plain white cake from your local supermarket or bakery and put some flowers and a topper on. Or try something different, like cake pops or cookies!
