1. If you don’t hire a planner, you become the planner. ..On your wedding day, in a dress.
2. A good meal, strong drinks and short speeches are what your guests actually remember.
3. Your budget isn’t necessarily small, your expectations are too large.
4. DIY doesn’t make a huge amount of price difference. Especially when you end up panic buying replacements the month before.
5. If you’re booking vendors based on who is the cheapest, be prepared to get what you paid for.
6. It’s good to follow Bridal accounts and get on Pinterest for inspiration, but try and sit down and think about what’s important to you BEFORE you start scrolling. Because you might think you want a “laid back wedding”, but 30 minutes of scrolling can suddenly make you want a color bomb, monogrammed napkins and a 6ft cake.
✨Hire a professional who can manage your expectations
✨Try not to scroll after you’ve booked or made decisions.
