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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can also double as their bridesmaids gift, depending on how lavish you want to go.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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.
Pour yourself a champagne 🥂 and settle in to spend some time looking at 's brand new website.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Warning though, it will be so easy to lose track of time as you wander through the gallery of stunning gowns.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure you also take a peek at the new Ready to Wear Collection - seriously, how many times are we allowed to say stunning in the one caption?💫

Here's a tip to remember for your big day!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure you take a few moments with your partner to sit down and enjoy your wedding cake.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After putting so much effort into choosing the cake design and flavours, you don't want to miss out on getting a taste.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's also the perfect excuse to spend a few quiet minutes as newlyweds. 💕
A little WWC wedding inspo for your Friday!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Featuring the work of our WWC members.
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. 🥂
