Before I stop posting about my wedding and dive right back into sharing the beautiful love stories of others, I want to take a hot sec to shout praise for the vendor team I assembled from all of the rooftops.

Every single individual and business we chose to work with was very thought through and considered and I would and will continue to recommend every single one of them.

Starting with the incredible ! I worked with Hailey previously and from the first interaction absolutely loved her energy. Giving direction without being pushy, bringing creativity without wasting time and all with such a positive vibe. Then when I saw the photos she took I was sold. The clincher - indoor photography! Seeing how beautifully Hailey captured candid photos indoors really made the decision easy, because we weren’t sure, having a Melbourne winter wedding, we’d get any chance to get outside. We did in the end, but knowing Hailey could make magic even without natural light was key.

Thanks so much H - we know we’ll be obsessing over your work for life. What a magical gift. ✨❤️

Wedding lessons with love from wise and wonderful Leo…

👰🏽‍♀️💭“Decide that you’re not going to care if things go awry. I was warned that my Paige boy might refuse to walk at the last minute, so I decided I wouldn’t care about it. I imagined all the worst case scenarios and decided I wouldn’t be fazed. Also, don’t take yourself or your guests away from the party for photos for more than the bare minimum period of time. Who wants staged photos anyway?“

From Rhi… “Other than getting a wedding planner 😉 The whole day goes in such a fantastic beautiful blur with so much love, my advice would be to plan some time (only 5 or 10 minutes) to be alone with your new spouse away from all the love filled chaos to just be excited about being married ❤️”

Continuing to share the generous, helpful and thoughtfully gifted advice from past couples with some gold from Dil… ✨

“Have a contingency plan! On our wedding day, it was forecast unlikely to rain but we did have a back up plan in place to move our ceremony in doors. Although the rain did show for a moment, thankfully the sunshine came out just in time for our outdoor wedding, but the moment we felt the rain, there was no panic and that’s what you want.

I would also highly suggest getting your catering staff to pack you some dinner to take away with you post wedding! We missed out on enjoying all the beautiful food we had been looking forward to on the day and would have loved to have pigged out on our delicious menu back at our hotel, as we debriefed.

My best wedding advice however would be to truly let go of your plans & control on the day of your wedding. It’s your day. You’ve planned everything to a T in the months leading up to your special day so trust yourself and your amazing vendors. Try to delegate as much as you can, so that you and your husband or wife to be, can spend your wedding day absorbing all of the love around you, and between you. Have someone to be your point person to answer queries and troubleshoot, so that you don’t have to. In our case we had the absolutely incredible Cait to be that for us 🤍“

Dil also shared the only pic we got together on the day 😶‍🌫️ - promise I didn’t hate crash all the aisle pics, but I had to make sure the veil was 👌

I’m so incredibly lucky to have worked with couples over the last few years who have become friends, and in the lead up to my own wedding, reflecting on little pieces of each wedding I’ve been a part of is truly what has made my planning journey such a joy. 🥲💛

Some of my beautiful couples have been generous enough to share some advice, so, with their permission, I’d love to share this with you if you’re planning your wedding too.

From Sarah…

The details don’t matter, from invite colour to signage font, make a quick decision and move on.

If possible having a dinner with your family and bridal parties and their partners is so fun, we just went to the local pub. Was about 25 of us and we all got to meet each other properly and spend quality time together.

Have non-alcoholic drinks - sparkling and mocktails. Great for pregnant people and people who are driving to enjoy something after than a coke. I had non-alcohol sparkling a lot of the night and felt amazing when I got home and the next day. I remembered everything and didn’t have hang-xiety.

Spend money on good vendors with experience. They will make your day and leading up to your day stress free and seamless.

If you can afford it, get the wedding coordinator!!!!! I was the guest of honour at our wedding, not the host. It was bliss.

The day doesn’t fly by too quickly like people say. Don’t stress about that!

Let people come to you and spend as much time with your new husband/wife as possible. You don’t get this day back!

Speak up, don’t get pushed around. There was a few things that didn’t happen that I wanted to happen because I didn’t want to sound like a bride-zilla. Being assertive is not being a bride-zilla, speak up!

Don’t worry about the spend, in a year’s time all you will have is the memories and the thought “thank god we spent money on that idea” for example. (cont in comments 👇🏼).

🎷 BAND OR DJ? 🎶

there's no right or wrong answers here but it can be a big decision. one big factor that is worth considering is the space. think about the dance floor space and size and consider what you have room for.

like so many choices in the planning of your wedding... you can opt for the 'why not both' decision and have an acoustic duo to start before kicking into a DJ set, or a DJ with instrumental accompaniment! so many options, so think about what your priorities are and what works for YOU!

06/06/2024

some have a strong opinion one way or the other, some don't care and some say 'why not both'? 🤳🎁

here are some factors you may not have thought about when deciding between the digital or the physical when it comes to the gifting.

it should absolutely be noted 😑 not all digital wishing wells/gift registries are created equal! if you're looking for a modern option that ticks all the boxes - specifically including the option of gifting things other than cash - then look no further than - by FAR my favourite and only digital option I recommend.

💭 of a DIY wedding to save 💴 and avoid the constraints of an established venue?

without a doubt some of the most beautiful, unique and fun weddings I’ve ever been at have been DIY (ie hosted in a paddock/temporary marquee/unused shed)… but believe me, it’s not for the faint hearted and the costs usually well exceed those of (some) venues. whether it serves as a reality check or a checklist, here’s some things you might need to consider, if you’re taking on the great DIY:

〰️ furniture (like all of it. from chairs and tables to bars and benches, couches and signing tables)
〰️ marquee (for guests and maybe for your catering team, too)
〰️ cutlery and crockery
〰️ glassware
〰️ water (drinking and washing)
〰️ alcohol and other drinks
〰️ lighting
〰️ power/generator
〰️ cool room
〰️ skip bin
〰️ rubbish bins
〰️ ice buckets
〰️ ice
〰️ catering equipment (hot boxes, seperate cool rooms, extra furniture, fryers, etc)
〰️ sound systems
〰️ flooring
〰️ toilets (and toilet paper, hand towels, etc)
〰️ heating
〰️ cooling
〰️ guest transport or accommodation
〰️ wedding planner or coordinator (I know you’ll say I’m biased, but this is essential if you want to enjoy your wedding)

plus more. don’t get caught unprepared, save this to check over throughout the planning or let me know if I can help! 🤷🏽‍♀️

We adore working with you to make sure your beautiful dreams become plans and realities. Thanks D+N for your incredibly kind words.

👰🏼💬 “From the start Cait was so incredible to work with.
She helped us choose the perfect package (on the day coordinator) for our day and was super flexible the whole time for any additional services that we needed.
She gave us so much helpful info and her spreadsheets were very easy to use.
We could book a catch up anytime to discuss anything important or even just a random question was never an issue.

She was always around to attend site visits/chats with vendors with us so she would know the exact vibe that we were going for.
She was always so supportive, helpful and just a fun easy going gal that knew exactly what she was doing, she made such a great planner.
For the actual day we had the wonderful Anna by our side.
The week of Anna was chatting with Vendors, sorting out any issues that came up and she was always available if I was stressed out!
Anna was AMAZING on the day, making sure we both were having a good time, getting us drinks, making sure we were running on time, wrangling up family and friends for photos.
She was just amazing, I’ll never be able to thank her enough!

I can not recommended these gals enough, such reasonable prices for their services, they really did go above and beyond.

Thank you again for making our day so special and making me feel so at ease throughout the day and the whole process. ❤️❤️”

one key way to make sure your styling looks chic AF is to make sure you’re not mixing metals on the table. if all of your cutlery is going to be silver, it’s seamless to have silver throughout your other pieces. likewise with gold, like in this case, or black! what’s your metal of choice?

Sarah + Chris. You’re the perfect blend of hilarious, sassy, huge hearted and sarcastic. - you captured these two to the core.

Sarah had these incredibly kind words to share about our work together. One for the permanent memory books. Huge love.. 💭😘

“Give this woman your money! Cait was my sanity for the entirety of our wedding planning period, and ensured our huge wedding went off without a hitch - we are incredibly grateful for all the support, suggestions, and her calm, can-do attitude! 🙏 (and if you’re someone who loves a list, check out her very comprehensive Google Sheet - she’s *super organised*!) 💕”

My approach to the wedding budget is based on the fact that it’s not as simple as having a number and slicing up the pie. Having a budget is important, actually; essential! But slicing it up requires education, research and prioritisation. Deciding which vendor, decor or special “wow” options are WANTS vs NEEDS is crucial. Equally, sourcing quotes within your taste is much more insightful than googling “how much do flowers cost for a wedding”.

I could (and probably will) write an entire essay about this, but if you need a hand with your budget from someone who works with wedding budgets all the time, let me know, let’s chat! Free consultations are now available and are known to lighten the load, without any obligations.❣️
