If I were to plan my wedding again I would first start with an outline of what I want and need. You can do it with a spiral notebook or you can find many types of planners on the market.
Why outline your wedding? Many couples know in their heads exactly what they want. But once it is on paper and you have the opportunity to view it, things may not look like what you envisioned. The advantage to outlining is you can rearrange things that look out of place such as time of day you want to get married. Before you decide you may want to think of the reception timeline. Will you want to serve a Brunch, Hors d'oeuvres or a Full Meal. That is when you decide the time of day so the reception falls at a reasonable time for one of the those types meals.
You can add and subtract items. Once you discuss the importance of each item. you may want to drop some things you thought you wanted or add something you did not think of until you looked at your outline. However you plan your special day be sure you have covered every item, timeline and all possible scenario's you can think of. It will help you make your Wedding Day happen exactly the way you want.
Once the rough draft/outline is somewhat finished you may want to then involve family members, friends or even a wedding planner and see what they think. Just remember everyone will have an opinion about how they think your day should go, it is your day and in the final draft it should show how you want it to go.
