What do you do when you’ve found the ultimate outdoor venue, but you’re worried about the weather? When five of your guests go gluten-free a week before the wedding? Or when you can’t choose between roses, hydrangeas or sweet peas, and it’s keeping you up at night?
These kinds of questions can turn your perfect day into a worry and a chore. And those are two words that don’t belong anywhere near your wedding. It’s your day, and your dream. The only thing you need to think about is turning up and enjoying yourselves.
This is where Sheree from Perfectly Planned can be a life saver!
