Planning Pearls

We know planning your own wedding can be pretty overwhelming and daunting. Some days you are going to feel like eloping might have been a better option!

Here are some tips to help you face those dark days where you find yourself on the brink of becoming BrideZilla:

Get the uncomfortable conversations out of the way first by establishing your wedding budget and guestlist
Factor in at least a 15% splurge fund or any unexpected costs or urges that WILL come your way
Be realistic when setting a wedding date. It is always better to have a month in mind and be open to changing the dates based on venue and service provider availability.
While we all want a “Pinterest” inspired wedding day, be prepared to prioritise items between the deal breakers and nice to haves for the big day
Don’t sweat the small stuff! And don’t get too hung up on trying to create the perfect day, that you forget to enjoy the moment.
Count on your Maid of Honour and Bridesmaids! Delegation and team work is key to keeping you sane through the planning stage and all the way to your big day.
Organisation is key when planning your wedding day! Keep track and write down all the important stuff any ideas that come to mind. Make sure to always have a notebook with you check our our bridal themed notebooks for you and your Bride Squad.
