Planning a wedding ceremony  involves countless decisions, from choosing the perfect venue to selecting the right decor.

The White Wedding at Home

Weddings are always a fun and glam event; when planning a white wedding at home, we want it to be an easy and stress-free event. After all, why arrange to plan a wedding at home without reaping the benefits.

For starters hosting a wedding in your backyard can help reduce your wedding budget, not to mention most people, including the wedding couple, will feel more comfortable with their surroundings. There are no time limits like being in a hall or at a restaurant where everything needs to run on time. Let’s face it, theoretically speaking is a more relaxing option.

How to Plan a Wedding at Home

This is where our team at Perth Party Hire shine. Not only do we have a variety of products for your white wedding at home for hire, but we can also assist you with transporting goods and providing professional staff to help out on the day. Whether it be expert advice, help setting up, or professional waiters.

We can help with hiring a marquee, down to the finer things like what glassware pairs with what drinks.
To begin with, once you have acquired space and designed a rough layout out of where to settle your ceremony and reception, then you can commence the hiring of the furnishings to make your wedding complete.

The invites are out, and you will know the number of guests, so it’s time to start looking at your layout and the essentials needed on the night.

What to Hire for a White Wedding at Home.

First things first, taking care of the grandeur details. These are the things that you will need as a base for the night. Shelter such as a marquee or indoor area to host the ceremony.

Furnishings include wedding tables, wedding chairs, a dance floor for hire, and a cake table or stand for the wedding cake. Complete your event with some outdoor seating areas for guests these can include our chillout wicker lounges and our popular Hampton style table and chair sets.

It is good to also think about food and drink stations, so hiring a popup bar can be a super handy way to provide refreshments for wedding guests.

Lights are required for the evening and while on the dance floor and to set the scene outdoors. A professional range of lighting options can be hired via our website, and we can help you set these up on the day.

Planning on hosting the ceremony at home? Then you’ll need an aisle to walk down. Set up a white carpet and a few benches for guests to sit on in the backyard.

A beautifully decorated arbor for the ceremony, a small table with two chairs to sign the final documents, and a microphone for the celebrant is on the essentials list.

You can consider a musician to play soft sounds in the background or delegate your best mate to help with the accompanying music for the ceremony. Of course, you can have some of our catering staff serve guests nibbles and drinks after the ceremony.

Selecting a Wedding Celebrant in Perth

Weddings are a serious business. It’s not just about planning the style of your wedding there are also the legal documents to look after and the most important part, the “I do.”

A good wedding celebrant will make your life a whole lot easier by organising the legal admin that goes on behind the scenes of your event while providing you with assistance to make your celebration as smooth as possible.

Perth wedding celebrants are abundant so selecting the right one for you entails meeting and chatting with a few and looking at the personality traits and skills that align with your needs.

How to choose a wedding celebrant and what to look for?

1. Great presentation and people skills

It is a wedding after all!

All your guests will be well presented in formal attire so it is important your celebrant also dresses for the occasion. Your family and friends will be excited to be sharing this special event with you so you’ll need a celebrant to match the tone.
Seek someone fun who is interested in understanding the relationship you share with your partner, your interests, quirks, and stories, will all help create a genuine tone of the couple’s distinctive characteristics.

2. Creative approach

When making your shortlist of celebrants look for the people you feel you can build a natural rapport with, this will make you feel more comfortable on your wedding day. A celebrant who can listen to your needs and be open to ideas and then express this creatively is a winner.
A good celebrant will also share with you a copy of the written ceremony so you can review this together. They can assist you with wedding vows offer suggestions for readings or even wedding music for the ceremony.

3. Organised with good time management skills

Look for someone who will create a personalised and heartfelt experience throughout your interaction. A great communicator who can create an atmosphere that will enhance the happiest day of your life.

Consistent communication and follow ups are reassuring as well, obviously they have a job to do with some formalities that need to take place so communicating this on the day or prior is key.

Whether you have a preference to male or female, someone new to the industry or more experienced, we asked a handful of Perth’s finest marriage celebrants a few questions about what they do and what makes them stand out from the rest. You can read their answers below.

 

Outdoor Wedding Venues in Perth

It is the biggest day of your life, if you have just recently got engaged or are looking for a guide on how to plan a wedding, here’s some help on where to start.

Wedding venues in Perth are abundant, so we have some tips, styling information and things to consider when looking for your outdoor wedding venue in Perth.

Getting Ideas for a Wedding Venue

Online, you’ll find help on how to assist with planning a wedding. But there are other resources apart form the internet that you may not have considered, like visiting Perth’s wedding expo’s 2019.

These events are always a good starting point to make some connections and help compile a list of the wedding suppliers that you may need to network with. The second option is to speak with couples who have already gone through the process and ask for their feedback and recommendations.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to afford a wedding planner in Perth or wedding event stylist, then this will help minimise your research as they will have a list of contacts they associate with.

Types of wedding Styles

Planning the personal style of your wedding can be a bit overwhelming as there are so many options. Once you discuss the factors that are important, like selecting a date, number of guests and general area you want to get married, then you can consider the styling.

Are you dreaming of a Perth wedding venue by the water, a country theme wedding on a private property or looking for a rustic wedding venue in Perth? Once you have decided on the style of your wedding, then you can select a venue that suits all your requirements.

Look through Pinterest, read wedding style guides, wedding magazines and blogs to get more inspiration on deciding on a wedding style.

Choosing a wedding photographer

Your wedding is a huge life event. One of, if not the, biggest.

When all the food is gone, the guests have left, and the band has packed up, all you have to remember your special day are your wedding photos. Maybe a video, some of the guests’ Facebook lives, a marriage and a spouse, of course, but mainly the photos.
Weddings are full of moving parts and emotions can run high. The more preparations you can make prior to the event the better.
A good wedding photographer is a key part of making things run smoothly. Not only do they need to take good photos you like, but they will also be with you the whole day so choosing the right one is important.

Here are some pointers to make it a bit easier.

When you jump on your favourite search engine and start looking for wedding photographers in your area, the first thing you’ll see is their photos. Who’d have guessed? You’ll quickly get a feel for their style and whether you like it or not.
Looking at how they use light and colour, whether they are playful, focus on natural colours, are more subdued or relaxed, and how they capture their subjects.
From this, you should get an idea of how well they will handle photos of your specific location or venue. It might help to imagine yourself in the photos and see how that feels to you.
Once you have found a few photographers that you like and that really speak to you, you can start the next step. Which isn’t about price.
Commercial photographers aren’t shy to display their rates on their website, but independent photographers take a much more personal approach. Sometimes you can quickly rule out some photographers as too expensive. But a word of caution…

Wedding photography budgets

Budgets are important for a wedding but don’t let some fancy vol-au-vents get in the way of the perfect wedding album that you can pass down through the family. Your photographs will last well beyond the event itself and deserve careful thought as to how much you are prepared to spend on them.
Start calling or emailing your prospective photographers and see if you can book a meeting. This is a first sign of putting you and your special day first. It’s a definite red flag if their policies and procedures are more important than you.
Your photographer will be at your wedding all day alongside you. You don’t invite just anyone as a guest, and your photographer is no different.
It’s vitally important that you all get on well, and you’ll learn far more from a face to face meeting than from a website.
This is the best time to find out how the day is going to work from a photographic perspective and what happens after.
On the day your photographer needs to work around you, but they need to be able to do their job at the same time, so find out how they’ll work at the event itself. It may be important to you that they are completely unobtrusive or you may not mind them directing set piece photos.

Know what your getting

It’s not exactly romantic going into the costs and what you get for your money, but this is not the time for nasty surprises. Make sure they will be there for as long as you need them and not charge for extra hours or even extra assistants.
Ask exactly what you get after the wedding and when.
Post editing can mean you don’t get your photos for up to 6 months and you might not get what you expected. To be fair though, a days shoot can easily take 40 hours or even more of editing time.
Make sure you know about any limits to the number of prints you will get, or the rights to the photos. Sometimes a photographer keeps the rights and you don’t even own your own photos. If you want more you could end up paying extra. Clearing this up before hiring them will keep everyone happy.
