GoHen asked some of the UK’s best wedding planners for a few top wedding planning tips to help keep things under control for your big day.
Sweet & Pretty
Just one of the many reasons for calling in Sweet & Pretty Weddings would be the incredible Candy Buffet centrepieces. An award winning bespoke wedding service based in the South West of England.
What’s the best way to beat stress on the big day?
On the wedding day it’s important that the couple themselves don’t have any responsibilities other than getting ready and greeting friends and family.
Make sure to delegate key responsibilities to your wedding party and provide your best man, venue and chief bridesmaid with list of suppliers and key timings to keep the day flowing smoothly and deal with any issues that crop up.
Hiring a wedding planner to coordinate things on the day and in the run up to the wedding can be a huge stress saver and cheaper than you might think, starting from around £350.
Any tips for couples who want to save a few pennies when planning their big day?
The best tip to save money is to get creative and D.I.Y. things like stationery, favours and decor. You can also hire many decorative items instead of buying them.
Use the talents of friends who can sing, play instruments, bake a cake or create a personal and cost free element of your day. Don’t forget to use your “something borrowed” particularly for wear once items like veils, jewellery & tiaras.
What is your top tip for someone planning their wedding?
Always plan your day from your guests’ perspective. Happy guests will create an amazing ambience that money can’t buy. Keep guests well informed with a wedding website, programmes and signage, well fed with delicious and fun food ideas and well entertained with a fantastic DJ, live music or fun activities and you can’t go too wrong.
