It’s official, you’re engaged!
After your fiancé has chosen the perfect engagement ring, you’ve shown it off to just about everyone and spammed your socials with gorgeous ring pictures, it’s time to knuckle down and begin the wedding planning! To help you on your way we’ve created an ever-growing guide covering steps from the engagement, through to the happily ever after…
Introduction
The success of the perfect wedding does not rely on good weather or even rave reviews from your friends on social media about all the original details so perfectly coordinated. The perfect wedding is one that you will look back on in years to come, remembering how you enjoyed the planning as much as the day itself – stress-free and exciting. You should want to do it ALL, all over again!
Of course, it is a big undertaking and the stress-free element doesn’t happen automatically for every couple. Some of us are not used to pulling events together and those of us who are will even find that it is very different when it’s their own!
Every couple will approach things differently, priorities will vary; there will be tasks that relate only to you and your day – the uniqueness of the event that you are planning.
After many years of helping couples through the process of planning their big day, we recognise that there is one consistent truth…. a little investment of time early on pays enormous dividends in the months ahead.
