If you’re anything like me, you’ve been counting the days until the sun arrives. Don’t get me wrong, I love winter but I miss embracing the outdoors and being amongst nature. I’ve had enough of the dark nights and scraping ice of my car! There’s something so magical about the time of year: the sun is shining, nature is thriving and animals are emerging. It’s also a time for spring cleaning and organising for a fresh start, perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed mind ready for wedding planning. My number one tip from the get-go is to work as a team, as the big day should reflect your love story and personalises. Don’t get too caught up trying to please everyone else; it’s your day. Highlight all the most essential aspects of the wedding to you both and make these a priority throughout the process. Set a clear budget for each element on a spreadsheet with how much you’re comfortable spending, the deadline for payments and how much balance is left to pay. The fun part of wedding planning is finding dream-worthy suppliers who share your vision. Lucky for you, this issue is bursting full of local talent with plenty of wedding planning experience. We have everything from top designers, photographers, florists, hairstylists, bakers, wedding planners, and more! Together with their help, you can plan a dream-worthy day to treasure for years to come. Pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and enjoy!
