Top Tips for Planning Your Wedding

Planning a wedding is a task which requires co-ordination and organisation as there are several aspects to manage at the same time. Dresses must be sourced and fitted, the venue booked, photographers arranged and food thought of.

If you have never planned a wedding before it can seem like a daunting experience but with a little help from the experts you can have everything in place with relative ease. Wedding suppliers are fairly essential in arranging most aspects of your big day and can be used to help arrange just a few things, or alternatively they can help out with everything on your to-do list.

Before you can book and organise your wedding suppliers you must first decide what you want to have supplied and what you are organising yourself. The budget you have set aside for your wedding will decide on whether you can use suppliers for everything or whether you need to get creative yourself.

Even if you have the budget to do so, you may not want to use suppliers for every single aspect of the day. If you have a talented cake baker or seamstress in the family then you could make use of their skills instead. Cakes are a wedding essential that are commonly made by a friend or family member, whilst you will be saving the bride and groom a considerable amount of money in the meantime.

If any of your loved ones is a professional photographer then you could enlist their help and again, cut costs whilst still achieving a high quality end result.

When it comes to the wedding dress you could use a recognised dress supplier or alternatively visit your local charity shop, many of which now have whole sections dedicated to bridal clothing. As dresses are notoriously expensive there is an emerging trend of brides opting for a second hand gown to see them through the day.

The venue you choose to be married within may depend on whether you’re having a religious ceremony or civil ceremony, but either way you should make a provisional booking as early as possible in order to secure the date you want. If you are not familiar with the area you are getting married in or you are looking for a specific type of venue then you may turn to a supplier to help find exactly what you want.

Once you have set a provisional date, tell all the important people in your life about it so they can keep the day free. The next step is to decide who you are inviting, and then you can start sending the invites out. Again, you may choose to write all the invitations yourself using shop bought materials or you may contact a supplier who could take care of this for you.

Last but not least, consider taking out wedding insurance as a specialised policy which can be used to cover all eventualities, from the wedding suppliers to your honeymoon flights. That way, you can have peace of mind knowing that your special day is protected should the worst happen.
