Arrange a time for you and your partner to sit together, with no outside distractions and just start taking notes and organising what you want and what you don’t want.

Be prepared to change your ideas, and then again, and maybe again after that!

Cutting guest lists. Oh, the dreaded guest list! We know how difficult it can be to make cuts, but sometimes you have to.. especially if the budget is tight.

G -

Go dress shopping. This one is an obvious one but we can’t stress enough how important trying on your dress is before you buy it. So many times women will see a dress they love online and then hate the dress that arrives. Dress shopping is not only a passage of wedding planning but you will get more of a feel of your dress this way, and you’re more likely to find the dress of your dreams!

Hen do’s. Plan the best hen do, ladies! You only get to have your hen party once, so make sure it’s one to remember! Whether that’s a night on the town with your besties or a relaxing spa day with your nearest and dearest. Make sure to go alll out!

I -

Invest in comfy wedding shoes. Comfortable wedding shoes are a must, as you will be wearing them for many hours on the big day, you don’t want the fact that your feet are in pain to bring your mood down. Make sure to wear them in and make sure you choose practical and comfortable shoes, as much as they have to look good, they should feel good, too.

 

J -

Just dance! This one is all about preparing for your first dance. The last thing you want is to get on that dance floor, be in the spotlight and crumble under the pressure. You could get some dance lessons with your fiancé in preparation, or just practice your moves at home, whatever you do, make sure you’re confident when the first dance moment arrives, there’s nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable during your all-important first dance in front of all your wedding guests!

 

K -

Kit yourself out with new wedding night lingerie and pyjamas, that way when your wedding night swings around you will feel pretty and confident in your new kit!

 

L -

Local suppliers. Opt for local suppliers to reduce costs and is better to have an insight to the local area.

 

M -

Make sure to have a few makeup trials with your designated makeup artist, that way on the day you won’t have a shock, you will already be anticipating the gorgeous look you’ve prepared. If you’re not opting for a makeup artist and are doing it yourself, it’s still a great idea to practice makeup looks to perfect your wedding day look.

 

N -

Noteworthy wedding invitations. Make sure to send out the prettiest wedding invitations that all your guests will be talking about, add little touches such as an Accommodation card or an Inner Envelope.
