10 Things you need to know about planning a wedding
Things are more expensive than you expect. Stationary, cakes, flowers. Cause there’s no one size fits all its hard to guess price. Be honest with suppliers and ask lots of questions!
Sit down with your partner early on and set what’s important to each of you so you go into he planning on the same page with the same vision.
Don’t overthink your Guest list. If you try to invite everyone in your life then your guest list will be huge!
Choose suppliers you trust and get on with because when you get closer to your day, you’ll need faith you’ve picked people who have your interests at heart.
Dresses take longer to come in than you expect, don’t leave it too late to say yes to the dress!
Wedding planning can be very stressful and take up a lot of mental energy; Plan evenings off and time to check in with your partner so you don’t lose sight of why you’re getting married.
Friends and family will want to give you their views on how your day should be, you’re allowed to ignore their advice and focus on what you both want, once the days been and gone no one will care anyway.
Remember, keeping everyone happy is impossible! So don’t be rude but also don’t waste energy on meeting other people’s needs.
Most important, remember it’s one day- A day where all your favourite people come together to celebrate your love, that alone will make the day amazing so don’t get too stressed about the details of the day.
And most important overall- Enjoy it! picking your out your dress/suit/other with those closest to you, getting together with family or your wedding party to make decisions together, visits with your suppliers. It’s all fun, once in a life time stuff so enjoy yourself because you will think of those days fondly in years to come.
