Planning a wedding is exciting — but when it’s a destination wedding in Bali, it can feel overwhelming. The good news? With the right timeline and guidance, it’s not only possible, it’s magical. At BaliBihe, we’ve lived this journey ourselves and helped couples make it stress-free. Here’s a step-by-step roadmap to turn your dream into reality.

12 Months Before – Dream & Decide

• Choose your date – Popular villas and resorts book quickly, so secure your wedding month early.
• Set a budget – Decide what matters most (venue, décor, catering, photography).
• Find your planner – This is where we come in — guiding you through vendors, venues, and local details.

Emotional Tip: This is the stage where your dream takes shape. Let your heart lead, and
we’ll take care of the details.

9–10 Months Before – Secure the Foundation

• Book your venue – From clifftop resorts to garden villas, lock in your dream location.
• Reserve accommodation – Ensure your guests have options nearby (partner villas, resorts, hotels).
• Start your guest list – Gives family and friends time to prepare travel.

Emotional Tip: Imagine your loved ones receiving that first message — “We’re getting married in Bali!” The excitement begins.

6–8 Months Before – Bring Your Wedding Alive

• Décor & styling – Decide your mandap, colour themes, and reception setup.
• Book key vendors – Catering, photography, entertainment, makeup artists.
• Plan pre-wedding events – Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet — each needs its own setup.

Emotional Tip: This is where your personality shines. Every colour, every flower, every song — it’s your love story in details.

3–4 Months Before – Guest Experience

• Send invites – Include Bali travel info (visa, levy, flights, packing tips).
• Arrange logistics – Guest airport pickups, transport to villa/resort.
• Plan activities – A welcome dinner, sightseeing, or beach day for guests.

Emotional Tip: Remember, it’s not just your wedding — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime holiday for your loved ones too.

1–2 Months Before – Final Touches

• Food & drinks tasting – Finalise your menus.
• Entertainment run-through – Confirm DJs, dancers, fireworks, live music.
• Finalize ceremonies – Go over every detail of Haldi, Mehendi, Bihe, and Reception.

Emotional Tip: The anticipation builds — your dream is now so close you can almost feel the music, taste the food, and see the sunset.

1–2 Weeks Before – Relax & Rehearse

• Rehearsal if needed – Especially for big entries (bride/groom, dances, fireworks).
• Final confirmations – With vendors, decorators, transport, and team.
• Self-care – Rest, spa, and prepare yourself emotionally for the big day.

Emotional Tip: This is the calm before the celebration. Take moments to soak in the love around you.
