First steps towards the aisle (ideally at least nine months before the wedding)

Find a fiancée. Got one? OK we’re started…
Decide on a wedding date
Think about your wedding style, theme and colours
Think about who’s on the guest list
Figure out roughly how much you’re going to spend on your wedding
Start thinking about your wedding dress, shoes and accessories
Start using our Wedding Directory to get some ideas
Decide who’s the Bridesmaid(s) and who’s the Best Man. Don't forget to tell them…

Start planning a week’s wedding planning holiday in Cyprus

You’d be best to spend a week in Paphos actually seeing and trying everything out before making bookings (and you can get a free tan at the same time!)
Figure out when you and H2B can do that and book it. Aim for at least six months before your wedding
Spend hours going through our Wedding Directory to make up a shortlist of what and who you want to see

Enjoy a week in Paphos with H2B trying everything out and deciding

Where you’ll get married
Where you’ll have your wedding reception
Check out a florist
Check out beauty preparations, makeup and hair stylists
Decide on a photographer
Decide on a wedding cake
Sort out a big limo (or maybe a horse and carriage) to get you to your wedding
Sort out what entertainment you’d like at your wedding
Decide where to stay for your wedding
And of course work on your tan and maybe a few cocktails too!

Back home again, boo hoo…

Confirm your bookings with all the suppliers you’ve chosen
Book your flights to Paphos and your hotel in Paphos. Remember you need to be in Paphos at least three clear working days before your wedding date.
Invite all your guests to the wedding
Set up a gift list with your favourite retailer
Get your dress and your bridesmaid’s dresses sorted
Help H2B decide what he’s going to wear
Choose your wedding rings
Spend hours working on a music playlist. (Many restaurants will let you plug your iPod into their sound system)
Think about any readings you want at your wedding ceremony, any music you want played, any special vows you want made

Getting closer to the day…

Reconfirm all the details of your wedding with all the suppliers
See a solicitor to get an Affidavit confirming you’re both free to marry. (No Affidavit, no wedding in Paphos)
While we’re talking paperwork, make sure you’ve got everything you’ll need
Sort out a wedding guest book, maybe favours for the guests, gifts for some special guests, …
Think about your Hen and Stag nights out. Serious? Tasteful? Or a night on the lash in Bar Street?

About a fortnight before you’re flying to Paphos

Reconfirm all the details of your wedding with all the suppliers
Double check you’ve got all your paperwork. And it’s got to be originals – copies won’t do
Collect your dress, shoes, accessories
Make sure H2B collects his suit, tuxedo, kilt, whatever…
Confirm with all your guests they know what they’re doing and where they’re going
Confirm final numbers to the reception venue

Off to the airport, sunshine here we come!

Packed your dress, shoes, accessories?
Got all your paperwork?
Sun tan lotion? Insect repellent? Hangover cure?

Hoorah, we’re in Paphos!

Go straight to the Town Hall with your paperwork. They’ve got to have it three days before your wedding
Phone all the suppliers to reconfirm again. Yes, dull, but you don’t want any nasty surprises do you!
See your beautician or hairdresser for any trial runs
Enjoy your Hen and Stag nights!

Today’s THE DAY!

Give yourself plenty of time to have your breakfast, get your hair done and get ready
Relax and enjoy!
