FINDING THE PERFECT VENUE STYLIST Selecting a wedding stylist is a big decision, so to help, I’ve put together some practical tips to help you choose the perfect supplier: Start early: Begin your search for a wedding stylist as soon as possible. Many stylists get booked well in advance, especially in peak wedding season, so don’t procrastinate. Define your style: Before you begin your search, think about the style you want for your wedding. Create a moodboard or gather inspiration to help you convey your vision to the stylist. Research and recommendations: Ask friends who’ve recently tied the knot for recommendations or do some online research. Read reviews and check out their social media to get a sense of the stylist’s work. Flexibility: Understand that wedding plans can change. Choose a stylist who can adapt to new circumstances. Interview multiple stylists: Don’t settle for the first stylist you find. Talk to a few and see who you click with. It’s important to make sure their personality and communication style match yours. Budget wisely: Determine a budget for your styling needs. Be clear about what you can afford, and discuss this with potential stylists. A good stylist can help you get the most out of your budget. Collaboration and communication: Effective communication is essential. Find a stylist who is open to your ideas and can work closely with you to create the look you want. Trust your instincts: Trust your gut. If you feel comfortable and confident in a stylist’s abilities, it’s a sign that they’re the right fit for your special day.

Your ceremony is probably the most important part of your day and should be memorable and magical for you and your loved ones. Make sure that your ceremony is considered one of the top priorities when planning your wedding. Remember, a celebrant can perform your ceremony anywhere you want; it doesn’t need to be in a licensed venue. Keep in mind that a celebrant-led ceremony is not a legal ceremony, so you will have to book a registry office separately to do the legal bit. To add a personal touch, you can include your close family and friends in symbolic rituals such as handfasting, ring warming, or a sand ceremony. Remember, there are no rules or restrictions with a celebrant-led ceremony. You can make the day however you want, and choosing the right celebrant will help guide you and create a unique and personal ceremony tailored to your day.
