FLOWERS 49 PLANNING SOS Local suppliers share tips and tricks to help couples create their dream day DREAM WEDDINGS www.gettyimages.co.uk Planning a wedding might seem daunting, but it should be a fun experience where you can reflect your style and personality to create the ultimate wedding. Get organised from the get-go by listing everything important to you both and highlighting any priorities. It’s always good to know what you want on your big day, but I recommend not focusing on one style and ruling everything else out. Start the planning process with an open mind to discover new elements and exciting ideas that could work well for your day. Remember, communication is vital! Take this opportunity to work together as a team so the day fully represents you both. Don’t get caught up trying to please everyone else; remember it’s your day, and your loved ones should support your vision. When planning your wedding, remember the time of year and the season, as this can help dictate your colour scheme, venue, theme and venue styling – it's a great place to start if you're stuck! Search online for inspiration to find styles you love, Pinterest will be your best friend, and create a mood board to combine all your ideas. Here you'll be able to see if something doesn't look quite right or needs tweaking. Ensure you have left plenty of time to book your favourite companies when sourcing local suppliers, especially if you're exchanging vows during the busy wedding season – suppliers will get booked quickly. Search the companies online to view their work and read reviews from past couples to find out their experiences with the team. A good company should be reliable, knowledgeable and helpful. We suggest an in-person meeting to gauge the team and discuss your wedding in detail. Communication is critical when creating dreamworthy weddings, so ensure you update your suppliers with any changes in the run-up to the day or any concerns you might have. Remember, they want you to have the best possible day and should be there to help in any way possible. To help you plan your dream wedding, we've asked experts to share their tips and trick to help with the planning process.
