• Don’t feel the need to invite people you hardly ever see.  

 

• A steamer will work wonders to get rid of any creases on dresses or suits.

 

• Make sure your event plan is solid.  Have all suppliers phone numbers written down and with you (or with your trusted contacts, see below) on the day.

 

• Delegate - Make sure you have two contacts that suppliers are able to get in touch with on the day.

 

• Invest in a wedding videographer. 

 

• Marry in an off-peak season if your wedding budget is tight.

 

• Make sure your wedding dance is rehearsed.

 

• Don’t stress about creating the Pinterest perfect look you have seen.

 

• Get the celebrant to ask you both to turn and acknowledge your guests during the ceremony. 

 

• Take an extra pair of shoes in case your heels are killing you. 

 

• Have time out just 5 minutes for the two of you to relax and enjoy.

 

• The following day take your flowers to a retirement home. 

 

• Think about the small details. Nice bathroom soaps and perfumes for guests to freshen up, customised music playlists, activity books for children.

 

• Discuss what you and your partner truly want your wedding to entail.

 

• Enjoy being engaged.  You don’t have to rush into wedding planning straight away.

 

• Discuss your flowers with your florist and how they will hold up during the day.

 

• Get to know your vendors.

 

• Pack some hay fever tablets and a sewing kit.

 

• Book in your hair and makeup artists early.  The same goes with your venue and your photographer.
