Finding the perfect wedding venue is crucial in creating the wedding of your dreams. When choosing a ceremony venue, consider the size, location, and theme of your wedding. It's important to select a venue that accommodates your guests, fits your budget, and aligns with your vision for the big day. Don't be afraid to ask questions, do research, and visit multiple locations to find the one that feels just right. Happy venue hunting!

Make sure that the venue you choose aligns with your overall wedding theme and decor.

It's also important to consider the logistics of the venue, such as parking, accessibility, and any restrictions or rules that the venue may have. Make sure to read the contract thoroughly and understand all of the terms and conditions before signing.

Finally, trust your instincts and choose a venue that feels right for you and your partner. After all, this is where you will exchange your vows and start your happily ever after.

⭐️ Bridal flowers ⭐️

Choosing the right flowers for your bridal bouquet can be a daunting task, with so many options available. However, by keeping a few key things in mind, you can make the process easier and end up with a bouquet that perfectly complements your wedding day.
1. Consider the theme and color scheme of your wedding: Your bouquet should complement the overall theme and color scheme of your wedding. Think about the colors you've chosen for your bridesmaid dresses and the decor, and choose flowers that complement or contrast those colors.
2. Think about the season and availability: Some flowers are only available during certain seasons, so it's important to choose flowers that will be in bloom on your wedding day. Additionally, if you are looking for something specific and it's not in season, it can be expensive and hard to find.
3. Personal meaning: Incorporating flowers that have special meaning to you and your partner can add a personal touch to your bouquet. For example, if your partner gave you a sunflower on your first date, you can have sunflowers in your bouquet.
4. Size and shape: The shape and size of your bouquet should complement your body type and the style of your wedding dress. A simple and elegant bouquet can be perfect for a sleek and elegant gown, while a more elaborate bouquet can complement a more traditional dress.
5. Discuss with your florist: Your florist will be able to guide you through the process and make recommendations based on your preferences and budget. They'll also be able to help you find the right flowers that suit the occasion, season and your theme. It's important to communicate with them your preferences and don't be afraid to ask for their opinions or other options.
6. Look at examples: It can be helpful to look at pictures of bouquets that you like to give your florist an idea of what you're looking for. Remember that they can recreate the same look with different flowers as well.
By considering these factors and working closely with your florist, you can choose the perfect flowers for your bridal bouquet, and create a beautiful, personalized addition to your wedding day.

⭐️ Colour Theme ⭐️

Choosing a color theme for your wedding can be a fun and exciting process, but it can also be overwhelming with so many options available. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right color theme for your wedding:
1. Consider your venue: The colors of your venue can play a big role in determining your color theme. Look at the natural colors of the space, such as the color of the walls and the surrounding environment, and use those colors as inspiration for your theme.
2. Think about the season: The season in which you are getting married can also influence your color choices. For example, if you're getting married in the fall, you may want to incorporate warm colors such as oranges, yellows, and reds. If you're getting married in the spring, pastel colors such as pink, lavender, and pale blue may be more fitting.
3. Personalize it: Think about colors that have personal significance to you and your partner. It could be the color of your first date dress, or perhaps it's the color of your partner's eyes, or your birthstone. You can also incorporate these into your wedding theme.
4. Be flexible: It's possible that you'll have a hard time finding all the decor items and wedding vendors with the exact colors you want. If this happens, be open to similar shades of your desired colors. You can also incorporate different shades of your chosen colors to create depth and interest.
5. Try a color palette: To avoid an overbearing single color theme you can use a color palette composed of a few colors. This will give you more options to play with and add contrast and interest to your wedding.

Ultimately, the most important thing is that you choose colors that you and your partner love and that make you feel happy. Remember that it's your wedding, and the most important thing is that you enjoy your special day.

🌟Choosing your celebrant🌟

Choosing the right wedding celebrant is an important decision as they will play a crucial role in making your ceremony unique and memorable. Here are three tips to help you choose the right celebrant for your wedding:
1. Consider their personality and style: Every celebrant has their own unique personality and style, and it's important to find one that aligns with your own. Look for celebrants that have a similar sense of humor, energy level, and overall vibe as you do. This will help ensure that the ceremony feels authentic and reflective of you as a couple.
2. Read reviews and ask for references: Look for reviews from past couples who have used the celebrant's services. They can give you a sense of their performance and professionalism. Ask for references of couples who have had similar wedding style to yours so you can see how the celebrant tailored the ceremony to fit their preferences.
3. Meet with the celebrant before making a decision: It's important to meet with potential celebrants in person to get a sense of their personality, style, and to ensure that you feel comfortable with them. This will also give you the opportunity to discuss your expectations, request and any specific elements you would like to include in the ceremony.

Additionally, having a celebrant that is comfortable with the language you both speak, your culture and religion can be a major plus point. Finally, check if they have experience with any legal requirements in your location, particularly if it's outside of their home country.

Choosing the right celebrant can make a big difference in the overall feel of your wedding ceremony, so be sure to take the time to find someone who aligns with your vision and makes you feel comfortable.

🌟 Speeches 🌟
Speeches at a wedding are typically given by members of the wedding party, such as the best man and maid of honor, as well as the bride and groom. They are usually given during the reception, after the ceremony and before the start of any dancing or other entertainment.

Typically, there are 2-3 speeches in a wedding, with one by the father of the bride, one by the groom, one by the best man or maid of honor. And sometimes one from the couple together or from someone who has special relationship with the couple.

The length of the speeches can vary, but they are usually between 5-10 minutes in length. It's important to keep in mind that the speeches are a part of the reception, and should not take up too much time that could be spent celebrating and dancing. It's best to keep them short, sweet and to the point

It's also important to remember that speeches should be heartfelt and genuine, and aim to be entertaining, but also meaningful. Speakers should rehearse and practice their speeches to make sure they are well-delivered and that they have the right mix of humor, emotion and sentiment.

⭐️Maid of honour or all bridesmaids⭐️
Wondering whether to have just bridesmaids or one maid of honor on your big day? The difference is that a maid of honor typically has a closer relationship with the bride and may have more responsibilities, such as planning the bridal shower and being the point of contact for the bridal party. Having just bridesmaids means you have a larger group of friends standing by your side. Both options are beautiful, it's all about what feels right for you and your special day!

⭐️ kids vs no kids ⭐️

When it comes to inviting children to a wedding, couples have a few options to choose from. Here are the pros and cons of allowing children at your wedding:
Pros:
* Children can add a fun and playful dynamic to a wedding and make it a more family-friendly event.
* Many couples have children of their own and may want to include them in their special day.
* If a lot of your guests have children, they will appreciate the opportunity to bring them along.

Cons:
* Having children at a wedding can be distracting and can disrupt the flow of the event.
* It can also be more challenging to plan seating arrangements, entertainment and supervision for kids.
* Some guests without children may prefer a child-free wedding for a more adult-oriented experience.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to allow children at your wedding is a personal one that should be based on your preferences and the dynamics of your guest list. Some couples may choose to invite only certain children, such as those in the immediate family or bridal party, or offer a children's table or a kid-friendly activity corner. Other couples might opt for an adults only wedding. Communicate clearly with your guests and make sure they understand your decision, this will help avoid any confusion or disappointment.

Bridesmaids Only
Bridesmaids Only is the perfect place for bridal party attire! I recently used their services for my wedding and was so impressed with the entire experience. From the moment I walked into their store, the staff were so friendly and helpful. They have a wide variety of beautiful dresses in all styles, colors, and sizes, which made it easy to find the perfect bridesmaids' dresses for my wedding party.

The process of ordering and fitting the dresses was seamless and stress-free. The staff were always available to answer any questions we had. They were also accommodating with the bridesmaids who were not able to come to store, they helped with the measurement and shipped the dresses to them.

On the day of the wedding, all of my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning. They were comfortable and felt great in them all day long. I received so many compliments on the bridesmaids' dresses, and I know it was thanks to Bridesmaids Only. I highly recommend this store for any bride looking for beautiful, high-quality bridesmaids' dresses. They truly exceeded all of my expectations!

⭐️Picking your Bridal party⭐️

Choosing your bridal party is a big decision! Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting your best friends to stand by your side on your big day:
Consider who has been there for you through thick and thin.
Think about who you want to share your special moments with.
Always good to have a balanced mix of family and friends.
Don't feel obligated to include anyone just because of tradition.
Don't be afraid to ask someone to be a "reader" or "usher" if they're not a bridesmaid/groomsman.
Remember, this is your day, so choose people that make you happy!

It's important to remember that your bridal party is a group of people who will play a significant role in your wedding day, so take the time to consider who you want to include and make sure you're comfortable with your choices. And don't be afraid to get creative with your roles and titles, the most important thing is that you're surrounded by the people who matter most to you on your big day.

⭐️ Bridal party entrance ⭐️

There are many options when it comes to a bridal party wedding entrance. It is ultimately a personal choice and depends on the couple's preferences and the overall vibe of the wedding.

One option is for the groom's and bride's entourage to walk in separately. This allows for a dramatic reveal, where the bride and groom make a grand entrance together.
Having different songs for Groomsmen and Bridesmaids also can be a fun way to add an element of surprise and make the entrance unique. It also can be a way for the couple to personalize their entrance and make it reflect their personalities.

Allowing the bridal party to decide their own entrance (instead of a choreographed dance) is also a great option as it can add a personal touch to the wedding, and it can be fun for the couple to watch the surprise on their wedding day.

It's important to communicate with your bridal party and make sure everyone is comfortable with the plan and understand the concept behind the choice of the entrance. It's the couple's day and their entrance should reflect their style and taste, but involving the bridal party can make the event more memorable for everyone.

⭐️ Food ⭐️
Ah food! Who doesn’t love food! This is certainly something that is remembered at a lot of weddings. Did you have too much and it went to waste? Was there not enough served and guests went hungry? It’s very important to make sure the food is right!

1. The first thing is to make sure you book in a trial. This is the best way to taste the food and ensure it’s enjoyable for yourselves. Remember, it’s your wedding day! Most venues offer this at a per head charge for the bride and groom.
2. Don’t discredit food vans like pizza, burgers etc. if your wedding is DIY and you have space, this is a fantastic option.
3. Outsourced catering is another option. It can however be pricey and a lot of venues don’t allow outside catering. This works better for DIY weddings in marquees etc. Catering companies have unique ideas for weddings and can create your dream food for the day.
4. Other options could include DIY dessert stations, donut walls, cheese station and even fondue towers! The options are kinda endless!

⭐️ Budget ⭐️
This is so important! It is very easy to over-spend on your wedding.
There are many ways you can save money on your special day. We believe that you don’t have to spend a fortune to have a fabulous wedding ☺️

Guest list - just cutting 10 people from your guest list could save at least $1,000 - $1,500. These days likely even more!
That doesn’t sound like much of a difference on its own, but making more tweaks it adds up and in the end could save you thousands.

Wedding favours - Do you really need them? No! We, along with many other couples chose not to have wedding favours. A lot of the time they are left at the venue as guests forget to take them home.

Guest book - This is a personal choice but certainly not necessary. There are many guest book options (keep an eye on our guest book post!) We actually had one included with our Photobooth which worked out really well.

Keep following for a list of suggestions on where to save money!
