Here Are Sian’s Top 10 Wedding Tips That Will Assure Your Special Day Goes As Smoothly As Possible…

  1. Take your time – keep your stress levels down and book your venue early. This gives you more time to save for the things you really want and will mean you will enjoy planning one of the best days of your life!
  2. Civil Ceremony – Make sure you book this as soon as you have booked your venue, no one else can do this, only you! Do not presume that when you have booked your venue all the legalities are finalised for you!
  3. Make a list – once the venue and registrar is booked, make an ordered list and tick each necessity off as you go. Make sure you take a note of the finances beside each one to show how much was paid and when the payment is due. This will help you keep inside your budget.
  4. Order and plan the aspects of your wedding that are most important to you e.g. Venue, Registrar, Dress, Flowers, Cake, Photographer, Videographer. This will mean you won’t forget or leave anything to the last minute.
  5. Once you have taken care of the main priorities, it’s time to look if you have some spare cash left over. If you do you can get prices and information on the finer details like chair covers, a photo booth and maybe a chocolate fountain! Then, of course, you can’t forget the honeymoon!!
  6. Book a Videographer – Having one is great for looking back at your wedding in years to come, reminding you of how wonderful your special day was and how happy your loved ones were for you, even the ones you may have lost.
  7. Give a list of all your suppliers contact details to your wedding coordinator to keep organised and stop any last minute stress.
  8. Keep calm –Your wedding day is undoubtedly one of the most stressful times of your life. There can be arguments but don’t be influenced by other people making decisions for you, it’s your day, keep relaxed and enjoy it!
  9. Eat – Make sure you take time to eat throughout the day. When the nerves set in your hunger declines. One small glass of bubbly on an empty stomach will feel like you’ve drunk a bottle!
  10. Step back and remind yourself that it is your special day. Remember that you’re marrying the love of your life and in that moment, nothing else matters. Enjoy it.
