💐Creative Wedding Fair Supplier Spotlight 💐
🌻Sweetbud Florals 🌻

One of the things about weddings that still takes my breath away… (and I've worked and seen a lot of weddings over the years) are flowers and floral arrangements.

You know how much I love DIY at weddings, but for me, one element that really elevates a wedding is the quality of the floral design.
Every time I've worked with florists at my weddings, I know the vague design, I've been privy to the mood board and Pinterest board, I know the colour scheme, but, oh baby, when those floral arrangements arrive at the venue, you will gasp and marvel at how amazing these flowers are IRL!💐

This is my exact reaction to Sweetbud Florals when Liv came in on a warm July morning, dropping off the bright pinks and bold red florals that our mutual couple opted for, for their wedding!💘

Liv, the brains behind Sweetbud Florals, has been in floristry for over a decade and is known for her bold use of colour, creating breathtaking arrangements that are simply stunning. ✨ From classic and elegant to wild and whimsical, Sweetbud Florals has something for every style. Their passion for flowers is evident in every bloom, and their attention to detail is truly remarkable.

Want to see more of their magic? Be sure to check out their Instagram and explore their stunning new bouquet line! You won't be disappointed.💐

Don't miss the chance to meet incredible suppliers like Sweetbud Florals and find inspiration for your own wedding! 💖

😎👫Starting your wedding planning journey:
3. Curating Your Guest List😎👫

Creating your guest list is a delicate balance between personal connections and practical considerations. Here are some tips to help you navigate this process:

1. Set a Budget: 💸
Determine your overall budget and allocate a portion for guest-related expenses.
This will help you set a realistic guest count.
If parents are contributing to the budget, tackle head on any expectations of them inviting any guests and make the agreement early on to reduce any awkward situations in the future.

2. Prioritise Close Relationships:💖
Focus on inviting those who are closest to you and your partner.
Consider family, close friends, and loved ones who have had a significant impact on your lives.

3. Consider Practicalities:🦐
Think about the size of your venue and the capacity limits.
Factor in any dietary restrictions or special needs of your guests.

4. Be Mindful of Plus-Ones:👫👭
Set guidelines for plus-ones to avoid an inflated guest list.
Consider limiting plus-ones to significant others or close family members.

5. Handle Difficult Situations Gracefully:
If you need to make tough decisions about who to invite, be honest and tactful.
Avoid creating unnecessary drama or hurt feelings.

6. Review and Edit:🤓
Once you've created your initial guest list, review it carefully.
Make adjustments as needed to ensure it aligns with your budget and vision.

Remember: Your wedding day is a celebration of love and connection. Invite those who truly matter and create a memorable experience for everyone.

Starting your wedding planning journey:
🏟2. Choose Your Venue🏜

Your wedding venue is more than just a location; it's the backdrop for your love story. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting the ideal space:

1. Capacity:
How many guests do you plan to invite?
Ensure the venue can accommodate your guest list comfortably.

2. Style and Atmosphere:
Does the venue align with your desired wedding theme and aesthetic?
Consider the overall ambience, architecture, and decor options.

3. Location and Accessibility:
Where do you envision your wedding?
Is the venue easily accessible for your guests, especially those travelling from afar?

4. Amenities and Services:
Does the venue offer in-house catering, bar services, and event planning assistance?
Is it a dry-hire venue?
Are there additional amenities like on-site accommodations, parking, and outdoor spaces?
If they have a “getting ready suite/room, what time is it accessible from? There’s no point in having one if you can't access it until 9:00/10:00 am on the morning of your wedding.

5. Budget:
Factor in the venue's hire fees, additional services, and potential customisation costs.
Ensure it fits within your overall wedding budget.

6. Licences and Regulations:
Will you be having a celebrant-led wedding or a registrar-led wedding?
Does the venue have the appropriate license for a registrar-led wedding? How much will it cost?
Will you need a special alcohol licence to extend serving times if you plan on partying until the early hours?
Familiarise yourself with any restrictions or guidelines. E.g. Noise limiters for live music/ DJ.

7. Visit in Person:
If possible, visit the venue in person to get a feel for the space and the team!
Consider the lighting, acoustics, and overall vibe.

Remember: Your wedding venue is a significant investment, so choose wisely.🤓

🎊🍾Start your wedding planning journey 🍾🎊

1. Setting a budget is key!

One of the first steps in planning your wedding is setting a realistic budget. This will guide your decisions and help you prioritise what's important to you.

Here's a breakdown to help you get started:
💸 Determine Your Total Budget: Consider your savings, any financial contributions from family, and what is realistic for you as a couple to save and put away each month.

🦄 Prioritize Your Must-Haves: What are the non-negotiables for your wedding? Whether it's a specific venue, a live band, or a gourmet meal, identify these key elements.

🪧 Allocate Funds: Divide your budget into categories like venue, catering, attire, photography, and entertainment.

💪Be Flexible: While it's important to have a budget, be prepared to adjust as needed. Unexpected costs can arise, so having a little wiggle room is always a good idea.

Remember: A well-planned budget can help you create a memorable wedding without breaking the bank.
