The Role Of The Maid Of Honour

The maid of honour is an import that has caught on in big way here, across the pond. Primarily the ‘lead bridesmaid’, an excellent maid of honour will make the run-up to the big day extra special for the bride, but a bad maid of honour can be an unmitigated disaster.

For the bride

  1. Make the right choice

    Appointing your maid of honour is probably going to be an easy decision, she will usually be a best friend or sister. It’s best to make this decision with your head as well as your heart. You will want someone you love to share this experience with you, but you will need a maid of honour who is level-headed, responsible and organised.

  2. Define the role

    Make sure your maid of honour knows what is expected of them right from the get-go. Every bride has her personal idea of what a maid of honour should do. As a general rule, they will arrange the hen do, help pick your wedding dress, attend all dress fittings, assist with wedding admin (such as addressing envelopes or making party favours), and act as the bride’s point -of-call person on the day itself.

  3. Make them feel valued

    Your maid of honour will be spending a lot of time, money and energy on your wedding preparation, don’t forget to give her a special shout-out on the big day. If your maid of honour has gone above and beyond the call of duty, you could use the quiet moments on the morning of your wedding to give her a personalised thank you gift.

 

For the maid of honour

  • Be available

    Being asked to undertake the role of maid of honour is an enormous compliment. It’s also a significant responsibility. It will probably be time-consuming and stressful, so before you accept the role, make sure that you can be available for the duration of the pre-wedding period. Now is not the time to move abroad or take a gap year, your bride needs you!

  • Make the bride delegate

    In the early days, every bride wants to plan the entire wedding by themselves, before realising what a massive undertaking it actually is and having a small nervous breakdown. Your job is to help the bride enjoy a stress-free wedding, and that starts with the prep. Make the bride delegate as much as possible, to you or others, and you will help keep the stress at bay.

  • Carry supplies

    Every good maid of honour has an emergency bridal kit on her at all times during the day of the wedding. A kit should include a needle and thread (for wedding dress mishaps), dental floss, aspirin, spare makeup, hair pins, tissues, and, of course, a hip flask. At least one of these items will end up saving the day.

Get Hitch in Paradise

Finally, she says ‘I do!’. Congratulations, you have just started to plan your big day and it’s time for the hunt for the perfect everything-you-need-wedding-related. Yeay!. Besides hunting the perfect dress is count as a major part of the planning process, you have to find the perfect wedding venue for your dream wedding first.
When you dream about your epic dream wedding in beach vibes plus honeymoon kinda situation, there’s nothing as near the idea as Bali. The overwhelmingly and magically beautiful Earth’s Paradise offers everything it can provide from the various venues such as the Beachfront, Stunning Chapels, Private Villas, Cliff-top, etc to the FOMO for everyone (just wait until they see the photos ;)).
These are the list for you to make your journey down the aisle in Bali an easy one:

1. Choose the season

Not to mention Bali is only perfect when the dry and shoulder season (which is between April and October), but it is better for you to consider about the rain and the crowd (let’s not forget this factor because, well, nobody wants to get married in a resort teeming with other guests). Having your wedding with a warm tropical shower is another option if you had likely chosen the date already, for example, you can ask for help to your wedding organizer to arrange the plan B so you still have your wedding be your DREAM wedding.

2. Ask for help to the expert

Budget is one of the nightmares for brides and grooms, especially for those who want their dream wedding to be achieved as they expected. With hire the expert and find the right Wedding Planner, they can help you from a-z of your wedding and they will help you with your maximum budget by pressing the vendor’s expenses by hiring the budget-friendly one. Good news because all wedding planners must be legally registered as a member of the Bali Wedding Association (the only government body in Bali) so you’ll know you’re in safe hands if your planner ticks off all of these credentials.

3. Decide the type of your wedding

When it comes to you for tying the knot in Bali, not all weddings are legally binding partnerships. Commitment type of wedding is another option for those of you if religious beliefs don’t match up. Another reason why you should have your wedding in Bali is because Bali is one of the places which you can legally marry for most nationalities with help from the wedding planner.

4. Find the venue that suits you best


Choosing the right venue in Bali is key. Villa is one of the most popular venue choices because you get the benefit of privacy (the most important thing for most couples). You have the place for yourself, so you don’t have to worry about the music that needs to be turned down by 10 pm or the guest hotel that trying to nab a canapé from the buffet, the after-party, and you can have your guests just for you. The same thing applies to beach weddings. Both villa and beach are not necessarily the cheapest or expensive than the other, it all depends on what you want and what you need. So, you can adjust to your budget.

5. Start with basic


When you start with starter packages, you can easily get the ball rolling and the bouquets flying. You can add on the extras and the partial services as you go down the line if you want to. If you tend to direct booking your vendor as an extra, you can find a more budget-conscious option is to go local. Hire a locally based wedding planner to help. It is a great way to save on import costs and support the local economy at the same time. Plus, you can also avoid excessive expenditure by start your arrangement with basic packages. Most of the time, a basic wedding package can act as a good starting point.

A wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage, sharing the rest of your life with the one you love, and as everybody’s dream having the most beautiful wedding ever, you can choose Bali as your witness tying the knot. What’s not to love saying ‘I do’ while enjoying an island vacation at the same time? Don’t forget to do the research for your options carefully and choose wisely where you get married and who is going to help you to pull it all together.

Mini Guidelines for Choosing a Wedding Venue

by Leave a Comment

FOUR SEASON JIMBARAN

What should be thought of when you decide to choose a venue for your wedding? A really good place but not fit on your budget? The one with best view and suit to your budget but not enough to accommodate your wedding guests? Or you are too confused to determine everything?

I have a few tips to help you determine the wedding venue that suits best for you, lovebirds!

First thing first, decide your maximum budget from the beginning. Build your own wall to avoid things run unexpectedly. And by knowing your budget, you will know which venues are available for you. By determining the budget first, it will automatically filter the venue itself for the price range that you are sure of. Therefore, you will not be bothered by the debt or expense that is swollen to think about post wedding later.

Make sure you know how many guests you will invite. Why? When you know the RSVPs, you can estimate or ask for expert’s help to calculate whether your number of guests is enough to be accommodate in venue that you choose. Okay, the venue you choose can accommodate 100 people, but there’s no way you invite the exact same amount of people that venue has maximum space. It will be dull. Too crowd. Not conducive. Trust me. This applies vice versa, if the venue is too big but only a few guests come it can be a little too empty. But way better in this case, because you can still adjust your decoration to how the number of guests.

Type of your wedding. Either your wedding will be ceremony only or will it has a dinner reception, it is another thing to be consider when choosing a venue. You must be have imagine what will your wedding look like. Almost everyone has their own wedding dream. For example, you dream about having your wedding ceremony on a super beautiful cliff, and you already know which cliff venue you will choose, but your number of guests are big, and you will also have a dinner reception, okay, all you have to make sure is whether the venue can accommodate these two agenda, or you can only do one of them, for example, the ceremony only? Again, consider these things by asking for expert’s help, or if you happen to direct booking the venue, ask the salesperson, ask for the plus minus about your concern.

Decorations. After you know what kind of wedding day you will make, you definitely need décor, right? Decoration is no less important to think about when the time to choose a venue come. For example, you want to have a dance floor, when it’s too big but your venue doesn’t have a flat platform or let say the venue is tilted, or surrounded by coconut trees, or if you want to use pyro when you do your first dance, but the venue is low-roofed. There’s nothing worse than that. Think about it. Ask as many question as you need. If you stick to what your decorations will look like but there’s no solution to your problem to adjust between decoration and venue, it means that the venue is not suits you. This is why you have to consider many things at the beginning. To get more inspiration about wedding venue you can visit to our collection of bali wedding venue category page

If there are 2 venues, don’t choose the venues which will take more than 2 hours drive apart. There are some people who wants to hold a wedding in two different places for the ceremony and the dinner reception. For example, you want your wedding ceremony to be held in the cliff in the Uluwatu area or in the forest in the Ubud area, and your dinner reception wants to be held on the beach in Seminyak or in the villa in Nusa Dua area. Wherever that is, whatever the venue type is, make sure that the distance between your venues is reachable and (if you can) make sure your guests get the accommodation they need especially if your wedding is a destination wedding.
