Planning your wedding?

You’re getting married? Congratulations! Welcome to one of the most exciting, nerve-racking, expensive, stressful few months of your life. Let’s face it once the initial excitement of the bling on your finger has eased, shit gets real. You’re now faced with the task of finding your perfect wedding venue (with availability) to squish all your nearest and dearest in so that they can witness you marrying the love of your life then eat and drink away your life savings in a few hours. You need to go on a liquid diet of grass so you can squeeze yourself into the perfect dress; buy designer shoes that are going to require more blister plasters than a marathon runner; spend every waking moment and toilet break on Pinterest and Tik Tok; try and avoid world war three with your seating plan; book the coolest band; get a casino; magician; wedding cars; a 6 tier cake; flowers that hang from the bloody ceiling and come up with a really original idea for your favours because lets face it, you’ve only spend about a hundred quid on each guests so they can eat, drink, be waited on and entertained all day – heaven forbid the scandal if you didn’t then also give them a present for turning up! Jeez! Weddings are exhausting! Seriously. They don’t have to be though. Stop. Take breath. Step away from the ’10 things you have to have at your wedding’ article and just think about who you are as a couple. My favourite weddings regardless of budget, theme or venue are those where the couple and their personalities are reflected in the day.
