We have a new blog up!

This month we're taking a look at 5 unique ways to celebrate your love!

Can we all agree that it’s great to see couples shrugging off expectations, ignoring overzealous relatives and doing things their way?! 2020 taught us that those nearest and dearest are the most important people in our lives.

So whether you realised you have a tight knit smaller crew or a big ensemble of cherished friends, you’ll find the perfect way to connect while you commit.

Remember that you and your partner are wonderfully unique and your wedding style should be a reflection of that. These wedding style ideas will have you feeling truly "you" on your special day.

We're back with another budgeting tip.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can be really easy to forget that you need to budget to feed your crew.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your wedding day is a BIG day. Not just for you, but for everyone involved! Although you're catering for a lot of people, there are some very important ones who you can forget to think about on the day. So don't skip on feeding the people who have helped to make your Big Day everything that you dreamed of. We're talking photographers, videographers, celebrant, MC, the band…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think about who is going to be with you and if you’ll need to budget them into your catering headcount.

One wedding trend we are loving (and very supportive of) is the move to making more sustainable choices.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This can be as simple as gifting plant seedlings or succulents as the bonbonieri or requesting donations to a sustainable environmental charity in place of gifts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think? Would you embrace this trend for your big day? 🌱

This week's do it yourself tip moves away from the craft table (put down the glue gun) and focuses on putting together a survival kit for your bridesmaids.

Fill a makeup bag with touch up cosmetics, add in a mini sewing kit, spare hair elastics, bobby pins & breath mints. The perfect way to cope with any little mishaps on the big day.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure you take a few moments with your partner to sit down and enjoy your wedding cake.

A budgeting tip you may not have considered.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you noticed that bridal party proposals are becoming even more elaborate & inventive? Sometimes they even top the actual proposal for creativity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Asking your bridal party to be by your side for this journey is such an exciting moment. That’s why a lot of couples opt to ask them in a special way. Recently, we’ve seen a big trend in brides and grooms asking their nearest and dearest to be a part of their Big Day with luxury gift boxes, a nice spa date, taking them out for lunch, or even a personalised card - whatever way you choose, the little costs are going to add up so keep this in mind.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another row to include to that budget spreadsheet!

Weekday weddings are the trend that had to happen in 2021.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Catching up on all the weddings that were postponed in 2020 has seen demand for vendors skyrocket. Opting for a weekday wedding gives you flexibility and means you are more likely to be able to lock in all of your original vendors for your Big Day 2.0.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And who wouldn't love the excuse to take the day off work to celebrate with you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's to more weekday weddings in 2021. 🥂
