So, first thing’s first. Before arranging a happy wedding at home, you must be concerned about the following steps.
Split The Wedding Day Into Different Sessions
You have to make a list of events such as-
- Preparation of bride for wedding
- Welcoming the guests
- Walking down the aisle
- The wedding ceremony
- Cutting the wedding cake
- Carrying bridal bouquet
- photosation

After making the to-do-list you should note down the starting and ending times of each event.

Hire some people who will help you clean your home to make it ready for the wedding party.
Assign Wedding Planners
You can hire wedding planners or assign one of your friends who has some experience in home wedding planning. Or you can assign one or more bridesmaids.
Prepare A Wedding Guest List
How many people you will send wedding invitations to is totally up to you, but make sure that the guest count should not be too high to accommodate.

Ensure Car Parking Facilities
Some of your guests will arrive at your party with cars. You must arrange their parking space. If you don’t have space for car parking, let your guests know it.
Arrange Transportation For The Wedding Guests
Yes, this is a great idea. You can hire a vehicle like a bus for your guests. It will guarantee the on time arrival and departure of your guests. On time Attendance of all the guests is very important as it helps you maintain the premeditated schedule of the wedding.
Notify Neighbors
Obviously, there will be some inconvenience in any party. Invite them or not, you should go to their house to inform them that a wedding party is going to be held.
Talk to them with courtesy while begging for an apology for the inconvenience. They will not raise any objection to noise then. I think it’s good to invite them for a drink in the evening.
Plan Wedding Considering The Weather
If it’s winter, you may arrange a fire pit to warm it all. In case of a summer wedding, you will set up an air conditioning system or fans. You must have a backup plan in case of rain. You can set up some sailcloth tents or a big shade if there is any possibility of rain.
Design A Floral Entrance
Decorate the entrance and the wedding reception with multi-color flowers. A floral gate would be the first surprise for your guests. It will give peace to their eyes.
Also you can custom design the entrance using colorful polyester chiffon fabrics to make the entrance much more lucrative.
Use The Walkway Of Your Pool As Aisle
If you have a pool, you can use it as a substitute for an aisle. You can decorate it in your personal style.
Cover All The Tables With Colorful Clothes
Color is an enjoyable watch. Try to spread wedding colors all around the wedding venue. The best idea to make the surroundings colorful is to use colorful table covers.
Ensure Dressing Room Facilities
Assign a makeup artist and arrange mirrors, tables, lighting systems and other things according to his/ her suggestions.
Hire Photographer For Best Wedding Photos
Make memories by assigning a professional photographer. Better if you show him the nicest places in your home. If your private residence has a scenic Vantage point, make the best use of it while taking photos.
Decorate Rooms, Yard And Garden
For decoration of your home you can lend some-
- Flowers
- Balloons
- Banners
- Fairy lights
- Bunting
- Lanterns
- Tablescape
Put All The Baked Food At A Table
Display Cookies, biscuits, cakes on a large table. Pastries are not only for eating, but also for decoration. It gives a heavenly vibe when displayed.
Arrange Food And Beverage
Prepare food by yourself or take the help of catering services. You will put on a buffet or table service. If you prefer table service, you should assign a front-of-house team. To me Food trucks are the best option. On the food truck you can offer BBQ, pizza and so on. You should open a bar too.
Ensure Refreshing Room Facilities
If you invite lots of people, you must arrange additional toilets for them.
Use String Lights
After the sunset, you will illuminate your entire backyard with string lights for a magical aesthetic look.
Wedding Entertainments

Arrange A Chill Lounge Area
You can make a chill lounge area with a large sailcloth shade and a couple of benches. This is a great idea for the relaxation of your guests. They will sit there and have chats with each other. This area will also provide shelter if there is any rain.
