When planning your Bay Area bridal shower or wedding day, there are a few things that come into play. How many people will be attending your big day? This will affect how much food you need, seating as well as the location. Everything hangs in the balance over how many people will attend. If your desired location will only hold 120 attendees, you have to include the wedding participants in this number. So look over your guest list and decide way ahead of time how many you will invite.
Also important in planning your Bay Area bridal or wedding day, is the dress. Depending on your budget and upbringing, many women like the idea of using their mother’s wedding dress as the something borrowed item required. If you want your own dress however, be prepared to spend a pretty penny. Many dress shops offer lower priced dresses from $500 and above, but finding one you like that is in your budget may be hard. It may be best to purchase a lower priced dress and then make alterations to it yourself in order to get the dress you really want. Many seamstresses are available I the local phone book, and offer affordable prices for creating the look you want to achieve. You should allow for at least 6 months if you take this route, as creating the perfect dress includes multiple fittings and opportunities to see the progress that is being made.
Lastly, your location has much to do with the budget as well. If you are planning an outdoor wedding, remember that based on the time of year and normal weather patterns, you may need tents for shelter. This is a cost that so many women overlook when planning an outdoor wedding. There are multiple companies on the internet as well as in the phone book in the Bay Area that offer these services.
