While all weddings are unique in their own right, there are some common questions I am asked, that I recommend you consider at this time.  Please remember that these questions are very general in nature and  not all inclusive.
:
  * When and where will the ceremony occur?
  * Will the ceremony include your personal and custom vows?
  * Do you want a formal, informal or casual wedding?
  * Will there be a rehearsal?  If so, when and where?  Who is required to participate?
  * Who (if anyone) will walk the bride down the aisle and present her in marriage?
  * Where will all parties stand during the ceremony?
  * Will you include any special ceremonies?
  * Are you both presenting each other with rings?
  * Who will be the witnesses to the ceremony?
  * Will there be flowers?
  * Will there be music?  If so, will it be live and when will it be used?
  * Will there be children involved?  If so, as part of the ceremony or presented as your own with a special gift?
  * Who is responsible to bring the marriage licence to our pre-wedding meeting?
  * Where will the photographs be taken?  And will they be allowed during the ceremony?
  *What will make the day most special for you?
  * And general logistics such:
                           - Wedding location                                              - Reception location
                           - Rehearsal time and location                              - Invitations
                           - Caterer                                                               - Guests
                           - Dresses and  tuxedos                                         - Flowers and candles
                          - Wedding attendants                                            - Rings and gifts
                          - Transportation                                                    - Photographer/ Videographer
                           - Hair appointments                                             - Decorating
                            - Managing of gifts                                              - Cleanup
                           - Reception planning including music, place-settings, food and beverage,
                            - Master of Ceremonies, scheduling, receiving line..
                            - Decorating and logistics (such as guest book and pen)

It is sometimes very helpful for Brides to prepare and maintain a small binder where information is kept regarding all aspects of her wedding.  To start this binder, I've sourced a few web based forms which MAY be of use.  Please note that not all of theses forms or the information contained therein may be relevant to your particular wedding.  They do though provide a starting point for you in managing your wedding plans.

* To further help with your planning, I've located an electronic wedding planning book (in pdf format).  While the first page is exclusively advertising by the author, the remainder contains forms and ideas which may be of use to you in planning your wedding.  Please note that I do not endorse the organization or the advertising, but rather present the material solely as an information tool for you in the planning of your special day. I am in the process of developing my own wedding planning guide, however this is not yet ready for public release.  Wedding Guide Book   If you are not able to open a PDF document, here is a link  for the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
