Wedding Planner Tips
Don't wear a black woolly jumper if you're tying hessian bows...yikes !
Don't Rush Into Decisions
Budget for all the items and suppliers you would like at your wedding
Do your wedding your way - family and friends will be more than willing to help, don't be swayed into other's ideas. Suggest a family member helps with a small part of the wedding like stag/hen party.
If a deal is too good to be true there is a good chance that it is. Make sure you investigate each supplier you use. Ensure they have references and a legitimate website.
All weddings should be unique. Fill it with your personalities, your style, but most of all, your love for each other.
Start Planning Early
Booking Early can attract huge savings....more so than booking last minute !
Book professional suppliers and let them do what they do, don't try and micromanage it. "Control freak" is just another term for "Too many cooks"
Work out how many guests you anticipate having- this will help narrow down the venues available to you
Use recommendations from other suppliers to create a team who all work well together and with you.
Budget,budget,budget! -It's very easy to get carried away so a great way of keeping an eye on costs is set budgets to each part of your special day
Engagement shoot. Having an engagement shoot is always a good idea. It helps get you camera ready for the big day and gives you a chance to work with your photographer too! Makes for an excellent date
Guest experience really does come first. Keep your guests happy, guessing and wanting more.
Ensure you capture the day as well as possible. Photography and videography is often underestimated. This will be the memories you get to keep for life. When those in your mind fade. These won't.
Make the most of every second on your wedding day, it will go by so quickly.
Start Early - the earlier you start the easier it will be. Set yourself a realistic budget. Do an approx. guest list before deciding on a venue.

Don't forget its YOUR day! - Sounds easy right? But you will be pulled from pillar to post for photos, greeting guests and dealing with suppliers. Take a step back and embrace the effort put in!
Don't be pressured in to a "cookie cut" wedding...it is your day and should be personal to you!
