✨ What is a wedding without a Pinterest board?! ✨

Here are 2 ways to use your I Do Diary you may not have thought of:

💍 1. Build Your Wedding Vision Board: Use the brainstorming sections to create your colour palette and vision board. Add magazine clippings or printed Pinterest pins to bring your inspiration to life! Don’t forget to bring your book to dress fittings, hair/make up trial runs or venue viewings to ensure your selections align with your visions. 🎨

📖 2. Wedding Keepsake: Once the wedding is all over, transform your planner into a cherished keepsake diary. Enjoy reading back sections like the marriage prep together, and save it as a special memento to look back on years to come. Store wedding memorabilia like your invitations, menu cards, or photos in the slip pocket at the front of the book. 📸

Your I Do Diary isn’t just a planner—it’s the ultimate wedding must-have! 💕

“It’s me, hi, I’m the founder, it’s me!”

Hey everyone! I realised it’s been a little while since I shared a bit about myself and my why behind I Do Diary. I’m Jasmine – or Jaz for short.

In 2022, I launched I Do Diary with a mission: to bring ease, joy, and seamless organisation to the often-overwhelming world of wedding planning. Inspired by my own experience as a bride, I knew the stress and complexity that comes with planning a wedding, and I wanted to offer a better solution.

My background in healthcare gave me a deep-rooted passion for helping others, and I’m proud to bring that same dedication into supporting and uplifting brides.

Each I Do Diary planner is designed with love, authenticity, and quality, making it a trusted guide for brides across New Zealand, Australia and beyond. 🌏

🌸 Sneak Peek from the last weekend! 🌸 It was amazing teaming up with and —two women-owned, New Zealand-Small Businesses. 💍✨

When I first launched my business, I was so afraid of rejection and about what others would think. But stepping into this journey taught me one of the most valuable lessons: when others around you are succeeding, it doesn’t diminish your own potential—it amplifies it! 🌱

The best part is knowing that we can cheer each other on and grow stronger together — whether in business, finances, or personal goals. There’s enough room for us to all succeed 💪

So here’s a shoutout to all the amazing women (and men) who have supported me along the way. Your encouragement has made all the difference. 🙏❤️

🌞 How your wedding morning should look: smiles and sunshine! 🌸 Here's my top 3 tips for a STRESS-FREE start. PS - tag a bride-to be:

1️⃣ TIME: Give yourself plenty of time before you need to leave for the ceremony. Aim to be ready early so you can enjoy those special moments with your bridal squad without feeling rushed.

2️⃣ VIBE: Your bridesmaids are in charge of setting the tone. Whether it's music, candles, or a quick meditation, let them help keep things calm and handle any last-minute details.

3️⃣ REST: Get a good night's sleep before the big day. Avoid late-night celebrations if you know you need your beauty rest. Wake up feeling refreshed and ready to shine! 🌟💕
