Want to know an 8 year business story in 43 seconds? π
~ It's funny looking back to see how far you've come!
~ I had the proper wedding blues after our wedding. Although planning was stressful, I loved it, and there was a huge wedding planning sized hole in my brain after.
~So I started the hire business @rusticlovehire
With Chris's artistic skills and my background in hospitality management, it made sense
~ It's not been an easy ride, self employment is tough! But I love what I do and being in a position to help others.
~ I believe that sharing is caring and love passing on tips, advice and recommending other suppliers to newly engaged couples to help them on their way with wedding planning. Which is why I created @theweddingplanninglounge
Thanks for being on this journey with me and please follow along for more helpful wedding content! π

Congratulations! Here's what you nextπ
1. SET A DATE - This will determine who can come
2. GET A ROUGH GUEST LIST - This will determine your budget
3. SET A BUDGET - Work out what savings you've got, contributions from family and what you can save per month. This will determine the venue you can book
4. FIND A VENUE - Based on the type of wedding you want, size and budget. This will determine what suppliers you need - some venues have their own caterers, bar, decor etc. Or a list of recommended suppliers
5. BOOK YOUR MAIN SUPPLIERS - caterers, registrar, Celebrant, florist, photographer, cake maker...these all get booked up 1/2 years in advance
6. DECIDE ON STYLE & THEME - again, your venue choice will dictate this. A rustic barn with wood beams and fairy lights won't need much decor. A village hall with nothing in it will need a lot.
Once you have a style and theme all your other decisions will fall into place
Good luck with your planning and enjoy it!
Save if this helped you, share to help others

Wanna make a sign with me? π
I used my Cricut to make this one, with gold lettering on navy card. I mounted the card on A1 perspex (from a previous sign)
Wouldn't this colour combination be perfect for a winter wedding too?
There are so many items you can create with a Cricuit:
β Signage
β Place names
β Denim jackets
β Robes
β Table plans
β Personalised glasses
β Hangers
β Sunglasses
β Invitations
Are you using a cricuit for your wedding? What are you making? Let me know in the comments π
This is definitely a tool I couldn't live without for my wedding business!
