How To Deal With The Stress Of A Wedding

I’ve seen it all — meltdowns over menu fonts, tears over seating charts, surprise family drama, forgotten vows, and torrential rain forecasts. And guess what? The weddings were still beautiful. The love still shone through. The day still ended with laughter, dancing, and so much joy.

So take the pressure off. Lean into support. Let the imperfect be perfect enough.

And know that you’re doing great.

I’m always here to help you hold both the beauty and the chaos with grace. Because your wedding? It’s not just about the day — it’s about how you feel through the whole journey.

Everything You Need to Know About Wedding Contracts

Making sure that everything you expect from the vendor is in the contract is the most important thing. If it’s not in the contract, it doesn’t necessarily matter. You could have something in an email, but that doesn’t necessarily count. If you want it, put it in the contract. For the rest of the document, think like a journalist: Determine the who, what, when, where, why, how, how many, and how much of your agreement, and be sure those items are included.

Eloping?

You don't have to worry about securing huge venues with caterers or sending out invitations to hundreds of guests. The opinions of your family and friends don't matter; you and your partner get to call the shots fully.

 

Still, Eloping requires some preparation especially if you are traveling for it or considering it your legal wedding.

Support is KEY

95% yes you do ☺️

The most stressful planning period? - The week before the big day. 

That's when handfuls of unforeseen details arise, leaving some brides sorting out spreadsheets instead of connecting with friends and family 😮‍💨

Avoid this by hiring a week of or even day of planner.  They will handle last-minute vendor meetings and put out fires so you don't have to 👏🏼

I always say you get advice when buying a house - why don't you have someone with advice helping you plan your wedding? 
It's often the biggest emotional spend of money a couple will make in their lifetime so spend it wisely and not on mistakes.

If budget is a concern, we offer a range of bespoke services to fit every budget, even offer hourly services.

Just some food for thought to save for later!

Don't announce your news to early!

Don't Announce your news to early! 

Remember to share the big news with your inner circle before updating your status on social media 👏🏼

 Tell your family and closest friends first, preferably in person, or by phone or FaceTime 🤳🏼 (so they see the ring!) if they're long-distance or in lockdown with Covid - remember that😅

Change your Facebook status LAST. 
And after the outpouring of congratulations, be sure to post a quick thank you to the well-wishers.
